AI agents vs workflows
📰 Dev.to · Doktouri
Learn when to use AI agents vs deterministic workflows for your AI feature and why it matters for efficient implementation
Action Steps
- Evaluate the complexity of your AI feature using a decision tree to determine if an agent or workflow is more suitable
- Compare the flexibility and adaptability requirements of your feature to choose between agent-based and workflow-based approaches
- Assess the need for human oversight and intervention in your feature to decide on the level of autonomy for your AI component
- Configure a hybrid approach that combines the strengths of both agents and workflows for optimal results
- Test and refine your chosen implementation using iterative feedback and performance metrics
