Let's discuss about 3 main points ofThe Assembly Line
A 120-year-old manufacturing idea is becoming the dominant paradigm for building AI systems at scale.
1
Structured workflow
Each station receives the output of its predecessor(s), applies its specific function, and passes the transformed artifact to the next station(s). Split the workflow into different agents.
2
Structured handoffs
The transfer of information between stations is standardized. Use session.state or input/output schemas: clean key-value data that reduces background noise and optimizes the context window.
3
Technological heterogeneity
Each station can have different characteristics or tools. Build your agents with different language models, dedicated prompts, or specific tools (functions, RAG, MCP, etc.).
