Agentic RAG replaces retrieve-and-generate with a plan-analyze-verify loop

Agentic RAG is framed as the next step beyond retrieve-and-generate
The post argues that modern RAG systems are becoming more autonomous. Instead of a simple retrieve → generate pipeline, they increasingly follow a longer loop:
- plan
- retrieve
- analyze
- verify
- improve
- generate
It says this pattern is especially useful for knowledge assistants, enterprise search, and research systems, and describes agentic RAG as one of the fastest-growing trends in AI engineering.
