Rethinking AI: How New Approaches Are Changing the Development Landscape

Reimagining Agent Development

The rapid rise of AI agents in today's enterprise workflows has sparked a wave of innovation. Businesses are experimenting with frameworks like LangGraph and LlamaIndex to create sophisticated AI-driven workflows. At the same time, tools such as Langflow promote low-code solutions, aiming to make AI development accessible to non-technical users. However, at Oraczen, we’re questioning whether this low-code approach truly has long-term viability.

As large language models (LLMs) continue to evolve, their ability to handle detailed requests, reason, and generate complex outputs—including sophisticated code—has reached unprecedented levels. At Oraczen, we are exploring whether the low-code approach might soon rendered unnecessary by more directly leveraging LLMs, which could offer better efficiency and scalability and move us closer to our vision of building our Zen Platform with Super Engineers.

Here’s our vision for how the Agent Development Process can evolve as we move ahead

• Collaborative Requirement Gathering: Business analysts collaborate with enterprise users to define the specific needs of the agent. The focus here is to capture the requirements in a clear and structured way.

• Leveraging LLMs for Code Generation: With the requirements in hand, the next step is to provide a well-defined, structured request to an LLM. The LLM, equipped with powerful reasoning abilities, generates code in the desired framework to meet the specified needs.

• Developer-Enhanced Output: Developers enhance the process by contributing additional context—such as relevant code snippets or optimizations—that the agent might require for the particular task.

• Code Scaffolding: The LLM delivers code that is nearly ready, organized as agent graphs, nodes, or flows, depending on the chosen framework. Developers can then fine-tune and refine the output to ensure its readiness for production.

Review and Deployment

Finally, the developers review the scaffolded code, make any final adjustments, and deploy the agent. Over time, as more agents are built and tested, the process becomes faster and more automated.

The Future: Towards Fully Automated AI Agent Development

As this approach matures, several exciting possibilities open up:

• End-User Development: Enterprise users might be able to generate agents independently, with minimal developer oversight.

• Agent-Generated Agents: Agents themselves could create simpler, task-specific agents—an early step toward recursive automation in agent development.

• Automation of Testing and Deployment: As LLM-driven code generation improves, testing and deployment could become increasingly automated, reducing time-to-market for AI solutions.

Why Platforms Matter

While the role of developers may evolve with the growth of LLM capabilities, the robustness of the underlying platform will be more critical than ever. Platforms must offer:

• Configurability: The flexibility to tailor agents to the specific needs of the enterprise.

• Security: A strong focus on safeguarding enterprise data and workflows, with centralized security policies.

• Enterprise Memory: Ensuring that agents can access and leverage historical data for more intelligent decision-making.

• Observability: The ability to monitor, log, and troubleshoot agent behaviour in real-time.

• Contextual Data Management: Ensuring that agents have access to the right data at the right time, with strict data governance.

Zen Platform by Oraczen is built with these pillars in mind. It offers enterprises the infrastructure they need to manage and deploy AI agents at scale, with built-in capabilities for governance, security, memory, and observability. As the AI landscape evolves, we believe that moving away from fragmented, low-code solutions to a more structured, platform-based approach will be key to unlocking the full potential of AI across the enterprise.
