Thanks, Sam. Hi, everyone. I'm Christina and I work on the team building Agent Kit.Today, I want to show you how Agent Kit helps developers create agents faster than ever before. So, you may have already seen our Devday website. It's the site here that all of you have access to and has everything about today's schedule.But right now, it's just a static page. What if it could actually help you navigate the day and point you to the sessions that are most relevant to you. We're OpenAI.We need to have AI in our ...

AI Agents and Workflows Debate - The industry is currently engaged in a debate regarding the roles and effectiveness of AI agents versus workflows, sparked by differing viewpoints from Anthropic and OpenAI [1][2][3][4] - The industry should avoid dogmatic approaches, recognizing that there isn't one single "right" way to develop AI systems [5][6][7][8] - The industry should be cautious of overly complex APIs (like those relying heavily on graph theory), as they can hinder readability and team collaboration [9][10][11][12][13] Design Patterns for AI Systems - The industry needs a commonly accepted vocabulary and glossary for agentic patterns and agentic workflow patterns [14][15] - Agents can be viewed as turn-based systems, while workflows are akin to rules engines managing dependencies [16][17][18] - Workflows are gaining popularity in AI engineering due to the need to trace and manage non-determinism, which is more critical in AI than in traditional software engineering [19][20] - Balancing power and control is a key trade-off in designing AI systems; starting with powerful models and adding control where needed is a viable strategy [21][22] Composition and Implementation - Agents and workflows can be combined in various ways: agents can be steps in workflows, workflows can be tools for agents, and so on [23][24][25] - The agent supervisor model involves an orchestrator agent calling other agents as tools [25] - Dynamic tool injection, where agents are given a limited and relevant set of tools for a specific task, can improve performance [26] - Nested workflows, where a workflow is a step within another workflow, are also valuable [26][27] - Practical experience and community knowledge are currently more valuable than theoretical correctness in this rapidly evolving field [28][29]

[Music] Thanks Alex for the introduction. That was a very impressive LLM generated summary of me. Uh I've never heard it before but uh nice.Um so um today I'm going to talk to you about something that has been keeping me up at night. Uh probably some of you too. So how to build enterprise aware agents.How to bring the brilliance of AI into the messy complex realities of uh how your business operated. So let's jump straight to the hottest question of the month for AI builders. Uh should I build workflows or ...

当前，AI 领域呈现出一种近乎"追星式"的热情氛围，每当有新的东西发布，便迅速引发广泛关注与高度评价，仿佛技术变革即将一触即发。同时大 家情绪也波动剧烈，从"危机论"到"爆发论"频繁切换。OpenAI 最近出的《A Practical guide to building AI agents》的指南，就是他们最近捧上天 的"神作"。它直接被捧成了"圣经"，一时间风头无两。 整理 | Tina 这份 34 页的指南被誉为"市面上最优秀的资源"，旨在为产品和工程团队提供构建 AI 智能体的实用方法，涵盖了 Agent 的定义、识别 Agent 应用 场景、设计框架、逻辑和编排模式等关键方面。 不过，以冷静理性著称的 LangChain 创始人 Harrison Chase 对 OpenAI 的这份指南中提出的一些核心观点表达了强烈异议，甚至表示该指南一 开始就让人感到"恼火"。他公开批评这份指南"具有误导性"，并罕见地进行了逐字逐句的分析。 他认为，OpenAI 在定义 Agent 时采取了一种过于僵硬的"二元对立"方法。实际上，目前大多数"Agentic 系统"都是 Workflows 和 Agents 的有机 ...
