This 17-slide presentation is Lesson 1 of an eight-part Agentic Economy course. It introduces the shift from chatbots that provide answers to AI agents that perform tasks, act on behalf of people and businesses, and interact with other agents. The course uses a broad definition of the agentic economy: a system of production, exchange, and consumption in which AI transforms existing processes and creates new forms of economic activity among people, organizations, and digital agents. This includes both AI that improves human productivity and agents capable of carrying out economic actions. Topics covered: • AI models, chatbots, AI agents, and automation scripts. • How agents combine goals, context, memory, tools, and permissions. • Economic agency: resources, budgets, decisions, and payments. • The changing human role: intent, critical thinking, oversight, and responsibility. • Agent-to-agent interaction, cross-border activity, and possible developments through 2030. Examples include choosing a laptop, processing an invoice, and planning a trip. These illustrate how an agent’s capabilities and authority affect the work we can delegate.
