ABSTRACT

By 2026, building a simple chatbot is no longer a marketable skill; the real demand is for architects who can design autonomous trajectories that solve real business pain. This guide breaks down the transition from prediction-oriented AI to goal-oriented agents that perceive, reason, plan, act, and learn. We explore the essential 'Agentic Stack'—from RAG-based memory to multi-step API orchestration—and explain why human-in-the-loop patterns are the secret to production-grade reliability.
