What is an AI agent? AI agents have become one of the most discussed topics in modern AI. But for most organizations, the real question remains: what is the difference between simple workflow automation and a truly agentic system? Is every LLM-powered automation an agent, or do agentic systems requi
As AI agent systems become more common, one of the most important architectural questions is whether to use a single powerful agent or distribute tasks across multiple specialized agents. Many teams assume multi-agent systems are automatically more advanced, leading to unnecessary complexity. Others force truly separable workflows into a single agent and lose quality, control, and scalability. This guide compares single-agent and multi-agent architectures across technical, operational, cost, security, observability, coordination, and governance dimensions, and explains how to choose the right architecture for the right enterprise problem.
Building a reliable AI agent is not just about giving a large language model access to tools. Production-grade quality depends on how the agent chooses tools, plans multi-step tasks, manages memory, decides when to involve humans, and how the entire execution flow is observed and governed. This guide explains tool calling, planning, and memory from an enterprise systems perspective, and presents a practical architecture for reliable agentic AI with state management, human-in-the-loop design, observability, security, and governance.
