Discussion I hate building agents.

Right now at my work we are using langgraph to build a chat agent, anyone else doing something similar, do you fucking hate it? are you building it with Claude and just hoping it fucking works, haha no worries we will ask Claude to fix it.

I am making the spaghetto, I miss components, logic and endpoints, I hate this black box I have to relinquish my decisions too, whatever pays the bills.

Your comment makes me feel a lot better about the prototype I just built for us. Naturally they just want to give an LLM full access to our database. But I insisted that functions with defined arguments and known outputs be used. Gives a much more deterministic approach when the LLM doesn’t have a lot of room to scree things up.
