This article distinguishes between prompt engineering and agent development, arguing that agents are more than just extended prompts. It defines an agent as a runtime process composed of a model, a loop, tools, and state, which is necessary to bridge the gap between the model's limited judgment and the dynamic nature of real-world tasks. The author emphasizes that agent functionality lies in its ability to advance tasks through a controlled process involving loops and tools, rather than simply mimicking human conversation. AI
