01Summary
This bolt-on approach fails long-term due to shallow insights, lack of control, poor trust, and high costs. True agentic systems operate in loops, self-correct and adapt, requiring native architecture from the start. Removing AI renders such products meaningless, while AI-native systems remain functional and valuable.

02Key points
- Generative AI produces one-off outputs, relying on human judgment.
- Agentic systems loop, self-check, and correct errors autonomously.
- AI-native systems are designed with state, data access, and feedback from the start.
- Bolt-ons fail due to limited data, control, trust, and cost inefficiencies.
