Agents are for one off or serial tasks?

Hi all,

maybe a silly question,

When we build agentic workflows, are they normally for one off tasks, or for repetitive tasks?

As an example, if we build the workflow to create the essay, or the chart, is it normally because we need to create that specific essay or chart, or are we building a machine that will create any essay we may need in the future?

thanks all

Mike

I see an agentic workflow as a way to automate a process, so it is very likely going to be used multiple times on different inputs.

However, I can also use it for a non-repetitive task. For example, if I don’t know how to solve a task myself, or if solving the task is more difficult than creating the workflow, I might build an agentic workflow and let it solve it for me.

At the end of the day, it is just another program (with LLM as a building block), so they are for the number of tasks that you decide. I hope this answers the question.
