Agentic IT operations (Agentic ITOps) deploy autonomous AI agents that can perceive, reason, plan, and act to investigate incidents, coordinate people, and improve with every incident they touch. Think of it as the next step in a progression, where monitoring surfaced the symptoms, AIOps separated signal from noise, and Agentic ITOps takes action on what it finds.
