For my requirements, over 90% of the LLM integrations and rollouts have it exactly backwards. The only thing you want these agents doing is building modular, testable traditional CLI tools which can then be scripted as easily by a human or agent with almost no context/learning required. Humans must distill the probabalism of agent output into composable deterministic functions.
Pushing opaque probabalistic black boxes into the execution of your day to day operations, communications, whatever it is, is horrible even if it works. At best it’s a pyrrhic victory. I see startups using these agents to mitigate healthcare disputes.
There’s no such thing as a domain that resists modeling but for which you could accept a probabilistic result. Probabilistic must also mean probabilistically acceptable. We have words for the only counter examples: drafting, brainstorming, maybe triage.
