What is generative AI?

 

You may not know it, but you use Artificial Intelligence EVERY DAY, without even knowing it.

100% of French people are exposed to AI via Netflix, TikTok, LinkedIn...

 

But in concrete terms, what is generative AI and how can we spot it? It's an artificial intelligence technology capable of producing original content - text, image, sound, code - based on existing data. It goes beyond analysis to create new answers, visuals or predictions.

 

Why use generative AI?

Generative AI marks a major turning point in digital content processing and creation technologies. With the democratization of tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney, this technology is no longer limited to insiders, but is truly transforming business processes, from marketing to software development. Its ability to generate, reformulate and synthesize content makes it an essential lever for innovation and competitiveness in today's businesses.

How to launch an Artificial Intelligence project?

Launching an Artificial Intelligence project requires a structured approach, in line with business objectives.

In this ebook, you'll learn how to avoid two common pitfalls:

  • POCs with no real impact
    Many companies launch AI Proof of Concept projects without a clear strategy or a strong link to their business challenges. The result: projects that struggle to be industrialized for lack of demonstrated value.

  • Internal chatbots not widely adopted
    Some organizations develop in-house AI assistants to secure their data. But without customization and integration with business processes, these tools often remain under-utilized by teams.

Generative AI VS Agentic AI : What are the differences?

 

Agentic AI refers to a new generation of AI that is more autonomous, contextual and proactive. It differs from current AI, which are still highly dependent on manual "prompts". Here are the major developments:

 

The announced end of the prompt

The "prompt" is the written instruction given to a generative AI to obtain a precise response.

The prompt - the textual instruction given to ChatGPT or other LLMs - is considered too :

  • - Technical (for insiders only)
  • - Unstable (best practices change with each update)
  • - Unnatural for the end user
  •  

Tomorrow, we won't have to "program" AI via a well-constructed sentence, but simply dialogue or interact.

 

The arrival of AI agents

AI agents are entities capable of :

- Automate tasks (e.g., search, write, file, transmit)

- Interact with other tools, APIs, software or humans

- Adapt to a specific business or user context

👉 The goal: to move from "reactive" AI (I ask a question, it answers) to "proactive" AI (it proposes, plans, collaborates), towards useful, usable and desirable tools

 

This new paradigm will enable us to create tools that are more :

  • - Useful: truly integrated into business processes
  • - Usable: simple, without technical training
  • - Desirable: spontaneously adopted by employees, because they have been designed for their daily lives

 

Agentic AI therefore represents the next step in the democratization of AI in the enterprise.
