Agentic AI & Automation
Definition
Agents that trigger actions in response to system or data events.
Explanation
Event-driven agents react automatically to triggers such as new data, user activity, API events, system alerts, or scheduled tasks. They enable real-time automation and autonomous workflows without human prompts. This aligns AI with enterprise event architectures (Kafka, Pub/Sub, webhook-driven systems).
Technical Architecture
Event → Trigger → Agent Activation → Retrieval/Reasoning → Action → Log
Core Component
Event listener, scheduler, trigger rules, action engine
Use Cases
Monitoring, anomaly detection, workflow automation, data processing
Pitfalls
Event overload, cascading loops, unsafe autonomous actions
LLM Keywords
Event Driven Agents, Triggered Agents, Autonomous Workflow
