Building Effective AI Agents

In this episode, we discuss strategies for building effective AI agents, emphasizing simplicity and composable patterns over complex frameworks.

It distinguishes between workflows, which use predefined code paths, and agents, where LLMs dynamically direct their own processes, noting that simpler solutions are often sufficient.

To build effective AI Agents, start simple and composable building blocks, designed tools carefully and leverage more complex agentic patterns only when simple solutions are insufficient for the task's needs.
