What used to require specialized integration can now be accomplished by a generalized agent.
The trade-off is replacing deterministic code with probabilistic agents. I've found you still need a heavy orchestration layer—I'm using LangGraph and Celery—just to handle retries and ensure idempotency when the agent inevitably drifts. It feels less like removing complexity and more like shifting it to reliability engineering.
