AGENTS AND AGENTIC PATTERNS:

“AI Agents are programs where LLM outputs control the workflow.”

5 Hallmarks for Agentic AI:

• Multiple LLM calls
• LLMs with ability to use Tools
• Env here LLMs interact
• Planner to coordinate activities
• Autonomy

2 types of Agentic Systems (Anthropic):

• Workflows are systems where LLMs are orchestrated through predefined code paths
• Agents are systems where LLMs dynamically direct their own processes and tool usage, maintaining control over how they accomplish tasks.

WORKFLOW DESIGN PATTERNS:

1.Prompt Chaining (decompose to fixed sub-tasks):

Blue: Optional Code to pass to the next workflows IN/OUT: inputs and ouputs Yellow: Pass outputs to different LLMs
