Part 7/13:

The advice is to begin simple—a single GPT call with context or retrieval—before adding layers of complexity intentionally.

Frameworks and Code Practices

The speaker has experimented with various agent frameworks such as LangChain, AutoGen, Rerit, and Vum, noting that:

• These tools accelerate development but can introduce hidden complexities.

• Many frameworks consist of thousands of lines of code, which can be opaque and hard to debug.

• For personal projects or simple enterprise tasks, native Python scripts (as few as 100 lines) can often replace the need for hefty frameworks.

Best practices include:

• Understand the underlying code when deploying frameworks.

• Use direct API calls wherever possible.
