    No, it’s not novel. It’s use to describe a specific type of software program is over 50 years old…

    Also… umm… do you mean the word “segue”? 🤦

      Okay, everyone except you is talking specifically about the word agentic and not agent.

      https://www.merriam-webster.com/slang/agentic

      It seems pretty clear that it came to prominence last year, so it’s novel now for the majority of the population even though it used to be technical jargon, which is exactly my point.

      Im not sure if anybody was using specifically the word “agentic” 50 year ago for software, although it clearly was used in other context from the link. I’m guessing they were mostly saying software agent and the “ic” at the end is relatively new.

      I genuinely though segue was spelled like the brand name. I guess you learn something new everyday.
