    What happens when you send a message to an LLM (the API call explained)

    Large Language Models are stateless prediction machines that lack memory between API calls. To create the illusion of conversation, the entire message history is sent with each API request in a messages array, where each message is labeled with a role (user, assistant, or system) to provide context the model cannot infer on its own.

    Don't build tools for AI agents

    The author argues against building specialized tools designed exclusively for AI agents, contending that tools effective for agents are equally effective for humans since agents interact with software similarly to human users. Three key reasons are presented: AI agents and humans share comparable interface needs, existing tools have massive training data advantages that are hard to overcome, and ideal agent ergonomics remain unclear and rapidly evolving.
