Think of execution steps as nodes in a graph. IFTT has pre-defined execution paths through the graph, its determinist. Agents design the execution path on the fly for the most contextually appropriate solution, it's non-deterministic. Both are state machines and DAGs.

Sure, but the point is that AI-driven data pipelines with executive parts have been commonplace for well over a decade. What's a network of trading bots instructed by ML-models fed by market data and various signals if not agentic AI already? Price-settings systems for airline tickets? Spambots?

The word "agentic" doesn't bring anything new. We've always been doing this.

Sounds great but given the exact same context they don't design the same path each time.
