Why it matters

Dumb loops beat clever workflows. Most teams building with AI agents reach for multi-agent orchestration, planning graphs, and elaborate tool chains. Then they spend months debugging them. A single loop that processes one ticket at a time, evaluates its own output, and improves on the next run will outperform all of it

My takeaway: Dumb loops beat clever workflows. Most teams building with AI agents reach for multi-agent orchestration, planning graphs, and elaborate tool chains. Then they spend months debugging them. A single loop that processes one ticket at a time, evaluates its own output, and improves on the next run will outperform all of it
