Is the "AI Agent" hype making our apps worse?
Lately, it feels like every new repo is an “Autonomous Agent.” While the idea of an AI that “figures it out” is cool, I’m finding that for 90% of app features, agents are just too slow and unpredictable.
I’ve had better luck with Structured Chains (doing Step A, then Step B) than letting an agent wander around a task.
What’s your experience?
-
Are you actually shipping autonomous agents to production, or are they just for demos?
-
How do you keep an agent from “looping” and burning through your API budget?
-
At what point do you decide a task is “too complex” for a fixed workflow and actually needs an agent
