I’ve built lots of pre-LLM data processing pipelines like this and the more I read people putting “agents” into this kind of context the less they resemble agents like the Anthropics of the world defines and the more they just resemble functions. I wonder if eventually there won’t be a distinction and it’ll just be a way to make processing and branching nodes in a pipeline less deterministic when you need more flexibility than pure code-rules can give you.
