Agentic AI 101 | LayerOne 2026

What if your tools could think ahead and handle tasks before you even ask? We’ll break down agentic AI across its evolution, from early robotic process automation to today’s browser-based assistants and the rise of multi-agent systems working together. Along the way, you’ll see real examples of how these tools are being used to automate workflows, make decisions, and push productivity into new territory. We’ll also dig into the security side, exploring how each wave of innovation changes the attack surface and what that means for you. So is this just smarter automation, or are we stepping into something far more unpredictable?
