Can't that be solved with regular workflow tools and prompts? Is that what an agent is, essentially?

Or is an agent a collection of prompts with a limited set of available tools?

I think the agent part is deciding how to navigate the web on its own and when it is convinced (and you haven't told it specifically deterministically) it found what it wanted, to come back and work with your prompts. You can't really logic code this into a workflow.
