@oristarA,
Although this is probably a recognised word, I can honestly say that in all the years I have been talking in, reading in and listening to the English language, I have never, ever come across the word 'agentic' before. Ever. For the record, I have been an Englishman, living in England ever since conception, apart from a few short holidays abroad.
I therefore surmise that this is one of those modern 'office speak' gobbledegook words, and said Professor was using it to sound clever.
After this thread has died, I shall no doubt carry on and complete my life, never encountering it again.
