Not sure if this came through in the post, but with Rowboat we’re taking a strong stance: flowchart-style agent builders are useful today, but we believe they won’t scale with how LLMs are evolving.

As models get better at reasoning, you shouldn’t need to manually draw structured paths. It should feel more like onboarding a new teammate - you give high-level goals, and context, and they figure out the details. We don’t give flowcharts to teammates because it’s a lot of overhead to specify everything upfront. We think agentic systems are heading the same way. Flowcharts are helpful in some cases, but not how we’ll build long-lived assistants.
