This post discusses integrating the Stripe agent toolkit with large language models (LLMs) to enhance automation workflows, enabling financial services access, metered billing, and streamlined operations across agent frameworks.
Build agents, not pipelines
There are only two ways to use LLMs in a computer program: as part of a pipeline, or as an agent. In other words, either you express the control flow of the program in code, or you give a LLM tools and allow it to manage the control flow itself1.

Optimizing Agentic Workflows using Meta-tools
Agentic AI enables LLM to dynamically reason, plan, and interact with tools to solve complex tasks. However, agentic workflows often require many iterative reasoning steps and tool invocations,...

AI Agents: Key Concepts and How They Overcome LLM Limitations
An AI agent is an autonomous software entity that is often used to augment a large language model. Here's what developers need to know.

The Bitter Lesson of LLM Extensions
From ChatGPT Plugins to Agent Skills, a look at how we've been trying (and failing) to extend LLMs for the last three years.

I want some kind of LLM workflow tool.• Ability to manage a set of input files (Markdown or similar), plus other general-purpose context.• With real-time collaboration. (And maybe some concept of snapshots or VCS integration.)• And the ability to create/manage a inference…— Patrick Collison (@patrickc) June 6, 2026

The open-source agent harness - the runtime layer that turns an LLM into a working agent.
Multi-agentic Software Development is a Distributed Systems Problem (AGI can't save you from it)
Recently, I've been thinking a lot about scaffolding and languages for managing systems of LLMs coordinating with each other — new programming languages might be the ideal solution for this area.

I wrote up my experiences programming with LLMs a bit over a year ago, and updated it for the world of agents eight months ago. A lot has changed since then, so here is an update.
