Andrew Ng: Prompting Will Die in 6 Months, Replaced by Loops and Graphs
VeryWellVersed · x · 2026-08-15
Google Brain founder Andrew Ng predicts that prompting will die in six months, to be replaced by loops and graphs. In a lecture, he demonstrates how to build agents that work and improve entirely on their own. The accompanying guide argues that the standard "ask-read-fix-ask" loop is inefficient, and an architecture based on agents, loops, and graphs enables faster workflows through autonomous planning and action.
