Introducing Aerie This is an introduction of a new open-source tool for creating and running AI-powered workflows. Why use workflows? You hire a brilliant intern and give them unrestricted access to your company's systems with high-level instructions to complete a complex task. They do a reasonably good job without breaking anything important, the first time. Should it be a surprise when a minor misunderstanding of the next task cascades into complete disaster?

Software agents are systems that make decisions and operate independently from human supervision on behalf of users. AI agents replace deterministic program logic with language models. These models, however, are inherently probabilistic. The more autonomy we give them, the greater the opportunity for surprises. No matter how well-tuned prompts are during development, ther
