<p>In this episode, we discuss strategies for building effective AI agents, emphasizing <strong>simplicity and composable patterns</strong> over complex frameworks. </p><p>It distinguishes between <strong>workflows</strong>, which use predefined code paths, and <strong>agents</strong>, where LLMs dynamically direct their own processes, noting that simpler solutions are often sufficient. </p><p>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.</p><p>https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-effective-agents</p><p><br></p>
