If we're going to have a conversation about agents or agentic it is really important we agree on which definition of those terms we are using for the purpose of this conversation.

If you ask two different people in the AI space to define "agent" you almost always get two slightly (or significantly) different definitions!

Here are just some of the definitions I've seen over time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42216217#42228364

For the purpose of this thread the most cynical definition, "LLMs that do something useful", might actually be the best fit!
