The worked perfectly. Naturally. It always does. Someone shows an AI agent browsing the web, writing code, filing a ticket, and sending a Slack message - all in one smooth chain. The crowd loses their mind. The LinkedIn post gets 40,000 likes. And then you try to build the same thing in production and spend three weeks debugging why the agent decided to delete the wrong files because the prompt was ambiguous on a Tuesday. I've been building with agent frameworks for over a year now.
