Think of execution steps as nodes in a graph. IFTT has pre-defined execution paths through the graph, its determinist. Agents design the execution path on the fly for the most contextually appropriate solution, it's non-deterministic. Both are state machines and DAGs.
- cube00 1y ago> Agents design the execution path on the fly for the most contextually appropriate solution Sounds great but given the exact same context they don't design the same path each time.
- baobun 1y agoSure, but the point is that AI-driven data pipelines with executive parts have been commonplace for well over a decade. What's a network of trading bots instructed by ML-models fed by market data and various signals if not agentic AI already? Price-settings systems for airline tickets? Spambots? The word "agentic" doesn't bring anything new. We've always been doing this.
