AI Agent workflow evolution: from simple triggers to verified production steps
kashifmanzoor · x · 2026-08-30
The author compares the evolution of AI Agent design after experiencing production incidents:
- Early Design: Trigger -> Agent does everything -> Done
- Robust Design: Trigger -> Gather context -> Propose -> Checkpoint -> Execute -> Verify -> Log
Incorporating checkpoints and self-verification steps is crucial for reliability in production environments.
