My $0.02: it's too hard to build and iterate on complex workflows.<p>Every agent uses a meta-workflow (eg. ReAct is plan->act->observe, with some added steps to check for completion etc.).<p>The teams that have been successful with agents do so by building better but more complex workflows.<p>Most notably, AlphaCodium's "From Prompt Engineering to Flow Engineering"
<a href="https://github.com/Codium-ai/AlphaCodium">https://github.com/Codium-ai/AlphaCodium</a><p>Our current tools don't do a great job of making it simple to build and iterate on these workflows.<p>For example, here's a HN post from yesterday where a user created their own workflow management platform because of their frustration with the leading tooling providers: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42299098">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42299098</a><p>I think once we get this tooling right and start to build more expertise in the process of flow engineering, we'll start to faster improvement in agent quality.
