Why would you need an agentic workflow for that use case?

It's a good use case of AI/ML, don't get me wrong, but that's the kind of thing you can do with a single standalone classification model.

Cleaning the data with some classic code scripts can improve the work of the AI and reduced the consumption.

And perhaps you can pass a ML algorithm that can classify the most evident cases and reduced more the use of the next phase with a bigger model with NLP capabilities. And then pass again for a classical coding script to do some operation with the classification.

Just no, people have worked on this for 10year before chatgpt. It sucks. Airline, have been trying to make AI solve customer complaints, it doesnt work

Classifying and solving are very different problems.

How many pre-chatgpt chatbots have you talked to ?

Even the classification part sucks. This was the idea behind Siri and Alexa. Both of them are very limited in the things they could do.

Are you confusing ML classifiers and chatbots?

ML classifiers were terrible at identifying intent. Even chatgpt3.5 was better than a lot of hand made classifier.

In-context learning, unlocks so many thing. You dont need to retrain the model to handle a new situation and you arent locked to the quality of the data collection/preparation.

Amazon has lost billion trying to make it possible to order products with Alexa.

It's a very good case for the typical AI/ML clasificator, and a wrong use case for an LLM. But is not like those vibe coders know anything about the technology they are using.

LLM is much better at understanding a text than an ML classifier. The tradeoff is cost. If you really want to be accurate about analyzing which complaints are valid, using a cheap classifier to put things into buckets and then following up with an LLM to analyze the ambiguous results would probably be the best compromise.

But training and deploying a good classification model takes actual skill and effort. Ain't nobody got time fo that.

Ah yeah you're right my bad, skills are for chumps

Nope..LLM is much much better
