Comparison between the two main approaches in artificial intelligence:
- Generative AI → creates new content.
- Agentive AI → takes actions and makes decisions.
They are often combined: an agent may use Generative AI to produce text and then decide to send it, schedule it, or execute it without human intervention.
Example of combination:
An intelligent agent may use Generative AI to write an email and then, through its agentive component, decide to send it, schedule it, or integrate it into a workflow without human supervision.
