Agentic AI represents advanced systems that autonomously handle multi-step tasks, breaking down goals into actions, selecting tools, self-correcting errors, and delivering results without constant human input. Unlike traditional chatbots limited to responses, these agents manage complex workflows like insurance claims processing, compliance reviews, or code generation and testing.
Infosys-Anthropic Alliance
Infosys partnered with Anthropic on February 16, 2026, to deploy agentic AI in regulated sectors starting with telecom, via an Anthropic Center of Excellence integrating Claude models—including Claude Code—into Infosys Topaz platform. Initial focus covers financial services for risk detection and reporting, manufacturing for design acceleration, and software development for coding efficiency.
Industry Impact
The collaboration modernizes legacy systems, cuts costs, and ensures governance in high-stakes environments, boosting productivity by automating persistent processes. Infosys CEO Salil Parekh called it a “strategic leap” for intelligent, resilient enterprises, with shares rising post-announcement.
