5 Differences Between AI Chatbots and Agentic Systems | GH600

Agentic AI vs chatbots: what changes when AI can act on a task instead of just explaining it? Watch a GitHub agent prepare a website update and pull request, followed by my review, merge, and the live result. In this first video of my Agentic AI series, we explore the difference between text-only chatbot responses and goal-directed agent workflows. A recipe-book-versus-chef analogy makes the distinction easy to remember, while practical examples introduce tools, permissions, and iteration. In the GitHub demo, I ask an agent to add a video to my website, correct the title during its work, and review the resulting pull request before merging it. The series draws on Microsoft Learn material for GitHub Certified: Agentic AI Developer (GH-600), with agent loops and guardrails coming in later videos.
