Nice post! Can you share a bit more about what variety of tasks you've used agents for? Agents can mean so many different things depending on who you're talking to. A lot of the examples seem like read-only/analysis tasks. Did you also work on tasks where agent took actions and changed state? If yes, did you find any differences in the patterns that worked for those agents?




Sure! So there are both read-only and write-only agents that I'm working on. Basically there's a main agent (main LLM) that is responsible for the overall flow (currently testing GPT-5 Mini for this) and then there are the sub-agents, like I mentioned, that are defined as tools.

Hopefully this isn't against the terms here, but I posted a screenshot here of how I'm trying to build this into the changelog editor to allow users to basically go:

1. What tickets did we recently close? 2. Nice, write a changelog entry for that. 3. Add me as author, tags, and title. 4. Schedule this changelog for monday morning.

Of course, this sounds very trivial on the surface, but it starts to get more complex when you think about how to do find and replace in the text, how to fetch tickets and analyze them, how to write the changelog entry, etc.

Hope this helps.


Neat idea!

Thank you :)
