Production domain-support and process-automation agents
Build agents that use a model-driven architecture to help customers with domain-specific questions or automate operational processes. The agent is defined primarily by a system prompt, a set of tools, and a selected model, while evaluation, runtime hooks, observability, and state management make it suitable for production.

Problem: Brittle workflow-based agents are difficult to maintain, struggle with inputs the builder did not predict, and often take much longer to move from prototype to production.
For: Organizations that need customer-support, troubleshooting, information-gathering, or process-automation agents that can handle unexpected and compound inputs.
Examples
- AWS console chatbot: evolved from a simple prompt pipeline in 2023 into an agent that could call tools, answer questions about AWS accounts and resources, and use a network troubleshooting agent as a sub-agent.
