| 1 | [Transition] Before diving into patterns, we need to establish a shared vocabulary. |

| 3 | Anthropic draws an important architectural distinction between two types of agentic systems. On the left, we have Workflows — systems where LLMs and tools follow predefined code paths. Think of these as choreographed sequences. On the right, Agents — systems where the LLM itself decides what to do next, dynamically directing its own processes. |

| 7 | The key takeaway here is that both are "agentic systems." It's a spectrum, not a binary — and the right choice depends on your specific use case. |

| 9 | Key points: ① Workflows = predefined orchestration ② Agents = autonomous tool-using LLMs ③ Both are valid — spectrum matters more than label |
