That was my misunderstanding as well. That's why I wrote the article.

Btw, it's not even about the RubyLLM gem. The gem abstracts away the calling of various LLM providers and gives a very clean and easy to use interface. But it's not what gives the "agentic magic". The magic is pretty much all in the underlying LLMs.

Seeing all the claims made by some closed source agent products (remember the "world's first AI software engineer"?) I thought that a fair amount of AI innovation is in the agent tool itself. So I was surprised when I realised that almost all of the "magic" parts are coming from the underlying LLM.

It's also kind of nice because it means that if you wanted to work on an agent product you can do that even if you're not an AI specialised engineer (like I am not).
