Consistently, the most successful implementations weren't using complex frameworks or specialized libraries. Instead, they were building with simple, composable patterns. In this post, we share what we’ve learned from working with our customers and building agents ourselves, and give practical advice for developers on building effective agents. What are agents? "Agent" can be de
