Isn't that just simple glorified workflow automation? Shouldn't "agents" do and decide what to do themselves based on the holy prophecy of VC and AI Startups ?

Yes, for example from Anthropic's definition [1]:

> Workflows are systems where LLMs and tools are orchestrated through predefined code paths.

> Agents, on the other hand, are systems where LLMs dynamically direct their own processes and tool usage, maintaining control over how they accomplish tasks.
