Yes, but you could say that AI orchestrated workflows are also acting on behalf of the user and the "Agentic AI" people seem to be going to great lengths to distinguish AI Agents from AI Workflows. Really, the only things that distinguish the AI Agent is the "running the LLM in a loop" + the LLM creating structured output.
