AI agents and agentic workflows
An AI agent, in the sense used here, is a system that decides what to do next rather than following a fixed path — it reads a document, judges what kind it is, and routes it accordingly, instead of running the same five steps regardless. That flexibility is useful when the input is messy and the correct next step depends on what arrived. It also makes agents harder to deploy safely, since a system with discretion needs boundaries, logging and a human checkpoint on anything consequential. The posts below cover where agents genuinely outperform fixed workflows, what implementation looks like across business teams, the ROI evidence that exists so far, and the technical patterns for building multi-agent systems that stay debuggable.
