Agentic AI is where artificial intelligence really starts to get interesting. Most folks are used to AI that answers questions or follows orders.
Think of the likes of ChatGPT, Alexa or even that recommendation engine on Amazon that tries to guess what you might be after.
These tools are all about providing a response to something you've asked them. But agentic AI isn't like that at all – it does stuff on your behalf. It works more like a fully-fledged digital employee rather than some passive tool that just sits there.
Agentic AI is all about getting things done. It's designed to pursue goals without needing to wait for some human to tell it what to do.
It can plan, make its own decisions, take action and adapt as it goes along.

Shopify POS and Korona POS are two well-known retail point of sale systems, but which one’s the better fit for your business?
I’ve spent over 12 years helping ecommerce brands choose the best tools to scale into physical retail.
Whether you’re setting up your first in-person store or running multiple brick-and-mortar locations alongside your online store, picking the right POS is critical.
After evaluating both platforms in depth, Shopify POS stands out as the best choice for ecommerce-focused businesses thanks to its seamless integration with Shopify’s online store platform.
If you sell online first and retail second, Shopify POS is a natural fit—but if your business is built on inventory and retail complexity, Korona POS may be the better choice.
Shopify POS and Lavu POS are two leading point-of-sale systems — but which one actually fits your business?
I spent over 100 hours researching and testing both platforms across retail and restaurant settings to help you make the right decision.

Working with, and for ecommerce teams for years has made one thing clear: the right CRM software can double your sales efficiency, but the wrong one can slow everything down.
HubSpot and Pipedrive are two of the biggest names in CRM for ecommerce companies for a few reasons. They’re easy-to-use, comprehensive, and can be pretty affordable. I wanted to see how they stacked up for myself.
I connected both to online stores, tracked live campaigns, and watched how each handled leads, automations, and customer data once orders started coming in.
