WHY I
STARTED
THIS_

Something is happening in artificial intelligence that most publications are still not covering well. Not the chatbots, not the image generators — but the agents. The systems that don't just answer questions but take action, make decisions, and operate autonomously across hours and days without a human in the loop.

The Agentic Times exists because that shift deserves serious, clear-eyed coverage, especially as the change in the next few years will be dramatic — with agents being deployed at scale and physical AI bringing agentic workflows into the real world. Written for business leaders and technology enthusiasts who want to understand what agentic AI actually means: not the hype, not the fear, but the reality of what is being built and deployed right now. The Agentic Times is here to document the race towards Artificial General Intelligence, which will be highly agentic by its nature.

This is a solo publication and not affiliated with a media corp. One writer, one point of view, published a few times a week. If you have a story tip, a tool you think deserves coverage, or simply want to get in touch, I'd like to hear from you.
