I remain optimistic about the impact agents will have on knowledge work. As I noted in an <\/span>earlier article<\/span><\/a>, fields shaped by clear rules and mature systems, including accounting and contract management, already look well suited to this kind of automation. But even if the opportunity is real, the practical reality is that AI teams are still learning how to build agents that work reliably in production. Moving from a fragile prototype to a dependable system requires more than a good prompt. It means thinking carefully about the underlying architecture. To see how these systems come together, it helps to break the stack into its main parts.<\/span><\/p>\n
