These days, it feels like everyone throws an LLM into a workflow and calls it an AI agent—but that’s not how it works. There’s a big difference between AI agents and workflows that simply use AI, and understanding that difference is crucial if you want to build the right solutions.
In this video, I break down exactly what makes an AI agent, what doesn’t, and why so many people are using the wrong approach. I’ll also walk you through simple, real-world examples that make it crystal clear. By the end, you’ll know exactly when to use an AI agent, when to stick with automation, and how to avoid the hype.
