Agentic AI, beneath all the hype, is actually just normal software. You can build agentic systems with a database, standard web tooling and real-time sync.

LangChain, vector databases, instruction routing, specialized memory stores. You'd be forgiven for thinking you need a whole new stack to build agentic systems. However, that isn't actually the case: electric-sql.com/blog/2025/08...

Agents are essentially processes that instruct LLMs to make tool calls.

There's obviously a lot of work involved in putting those aspects together to create a working agentic product. However, from an *infra* point of view, there's nothing there that doesn't pattern match to a database, some processes and real-time sync.
