AI Agents: Workflows, Runtimes, and Costs

AI agent field notes by Jack on bounded tasks, persistent runtimes, model selection, and the costs and checks needed to turn a request into useful work.

Where to start

An agent needs more than a capable model. Explore how task boundaries, tools, runtime design, and verification affect the work it can finish.
