How do you decide between building an AI workflow or an AI agent?
I’m building an AI system and trying to understand when to use a workflow (deterministic pipeline where I hardcode the steps) versus an agent (LLM-driven, decides which tools or actions to take at runtime). From what I’ve read, things like prompt chaining or routing are considered workflows, while tool-using agents are more autonomous.

task is stable, predictable, and cost/latency sensitive → use a workflow task open-ended, context-dependent, and requires tool choice at runtime → use an agent task is partly structured but with some fuzzy decision points → use a hybrid (workflow spine + agentic steps)
