I wanted to dig into the hype around agents and figure out both the use-cases and quirks, so I wrote this little 'review'.
I think, like most of the 'AI' sphere right now, they're overhyped but I think it's good to get a feel firsthand of when they're useful and when they're not.
If you've only tried local models with self build tooling like your article suggest, you should try what everyone else is doing to get a real overview of the space and come to conclusions not based on a toy model.
Thanks, the goal wasn't to get a full overview of the commercial space but really to understand more of the fundamentals of building, the limits and use-cases of agents in general.
Specifically I see a huge push to "build agents" and to "use agents" as building blocks for more complex interactions. I wanted to get a feel for why and my conclusions are more around that and not "what's possible"
