These are my Literature Notes of the post Building effective agents¹, by Anthropic.

# Key Concepts

• Agentic systems is a general category that comprehends both Workflows and Agents.
• Workflows are systems in which LLMs and tools are orchestrated through predefined routes.
• Agents are systems in which LLMs manage their own processes and the use of tools, controlling how tasks are completed. The operate autonomously.
• Augmented LLM is an improved LLM with augmented powers: retrieval, tools, and memory.
• Tools allow Claude work with external services and APIs.
• ACI or Agent-Computer Interface.
