While I agree with the premise of keeping it simple (especially when it comes to using opaque and overcomplicated frameworks like LangChain/LangGraph!) I do believe there’s a lot more to building agentic systems than this article covers.

I recently wrote[1] about the 4 main components of autonomous AI agents (Profile, Memory, Planning & Action) and all of that can still be accomplished with simple LLM calls, but there’s simply a lot more to think about than simple workflow orchestration if you are thinking of building production-ready autonomous agentic systems.

This was fun to read. Thanks for sharing. Our memory agents are built somewhat like this but way too much going on in there to make them prod ready.
