What you're really talking about doing differently between an agent and an API is really what are you actually doing?
What is the agent itself doing?
Is it looking something up?
Because that's actually a pretty lightweight thing that all systems are pretty good at.
And in fact, many, many of the newly announced headless agent APIs are just lookup.
You basically have a new interface to the old way to look something up, which is a lot more forgiving, a lot less UI goo and stuff like that.
Then there's, I want to do something.
And that's where you get into very interesting issues over, well, if you do something, you have to be impersonating a specific person, you have to have their credentials.
Is it another paid seat?
Is it the same paid seat?
You have all these interesting enterprise software issues that come up if you actually want to cause a change to a system of record.
And then there's the third thing, which is analyze.
And so analyze is more than look something up.
It's actually look up a bunch of stuff.
It often involves multiple systems.
And that seems very, very tuned to an agent.
Because you're not time bounded.
You can spend energy, iterate.
You can route it to different models and get different answers back and compare them.
But it's also where hallucination really is a huge issue.
