What an agent is, what it isn’t, and when you should not build one.
- What Are AI Agents★☆☆What an AI agent is in production terms: autonomous goal-driven execution, tool use, and why agents differ from chatbots and simple automation.
- AI Agents vs ChatGPT and Workflows: What's the Difference?★☆☆Clear comparison of AI agents, workflows, and chatbots: when each approach fits, what fails in production, and how to choose safely.
- How AI Agents Make Decisions★☆☆How AI agents decide what to do next: context, goals, tool results, and stop conditions that keep autonomous runs under control.
- Build Your First AI Agent★☆☆We write the simplest agent that actually works - no magic, no frameworks.
- When AI Agents Need Boundaries★☆☆Why AI agents need boundaries in production: permissions, budgets, approvals, and stop rules that prevent costly or unsafe actions.
