       | combination of n8n, open ai swarms, and others. This is a great
       | addition

       | A reminder that, while this is pretty neat and also probably
       | offers a lot of convenient tooling for GCloud resources already
       | built, an "agent" is simply an LLM call in a loop, each call
       | presenting some number of available tools. If you're building
       | your first agent, I'd recommend coding to an LLM API (probably
       | the OpenAI Responses API, which is sort of a lingua franca of
       | LLMs now) directly.
       | 
       | This is one of those cases where it's really helpful to code, at
       | least once, at one layer of abstraction below the one that seems
       | most natural to you.

         | Agree. I've first used the Responses endpoint, and besides
         | context like questions - it made me realize I did not want to
         | build or self host in a lot of the gaps AI agents really
         | needed. Eg: context, security, controls, external data source
         | connection management, interaction mapping, etc.

       | Gonna point Claude at our repo and see if I can do an easy
       | conversion, makes the amount of reviews I have to do a bit more
       | bearable.
