ADVICE

Manage Expectations on AI Agent Development

Do not expect AI agents to work magically in five to ten minutes without deep knowledge.
Invest time to learn, troubleshoot, or hire experts for effective, consistent use.

INSIGHT

Key Differences Between Agents and LLMs

AI agents differ from traditional LLMs by thinking autonomously and using tools intelligently.
Agents can also access memories and coordinate multi-layer workflows unlike flat LLMs.

ADVICE

Build Tools and Workflows First

Start agent development by building tools and workflows before adding autonomy.
Use workflows for repeatable tasks and agents for flexible, creative problem solving.
