Agentic Systems
I enjoy building AI-automated workflows because they combine creativity with problem-solving in a way that has real, tangible impact. It's incredibly rewarding to design systems that not only streamline repetitive tasks but also enhance accuracy and free up time for more strategic, human-centered work.
I agree with the important distinction between ‘workflows’ and ‘agents’ as described by Anthropic’s Dec 2024 paper where:
Workflows are described as systems where LLMs and tools are orchestrated through predefined code paths.
Agents are described as systems where LLMs dynamically direct their own processes and tool usage, maintaining control over how they accomplish tasks.
