alt Hacker NewsI don’t see the point of agent frameworks. Other than durability and checkpoints how does it help me?
Claude code already works as an agent that calls tools when necessary so it’s not clear how an abstraction helps here.
I have been really confused by langchain and related tech because they seem so bloated without offering me any advantages?
I genuinely would like to know what I’m missing.

There's lots of things you could do. Imagine you're making a group chat bot (way more difficult than a 1-1 chat) where people can play social games by giving the LLM game rules. You can have an agent that only manages game state using natural language (controlled by the main LLM). You could have an agent dedicated to remembering important conversation, while not paying attention to chit-chatting
