Two sample questions
D1
An insurer wants Claude to process supplier invoices. Every invoice goes through the same steps: extract fields, check them against the purchase order, then route to the right approver. Volume is high and auditors want predictable behaviour. Which architecture is the BEST fit?
- An autonomous agent given all ERP tools that plans how to handle each invoice on its own
- A coordinator agent that delegates extraction, matching and routing to three specialist subagents
- A prompt chain with code-based validation gates between extraction, matching and routing
- One large prompt that extracts, matches and routes each invoice in a single model call
D1
A consulting firm wants Claude to investigate competitor markets for clients. Some questions need two searches; others need dozens of follow-ups that depend on what earlier searches reveal. Which property of this problem MOST justifies an agentic design rather than a fixed workflow?
- The steps can't be predicted up front and depend on what earlier searches find
- The firm needs to process many requests per day at a predictable cost per request
- Clients expect the output to look more sophisticated than a standard chatbot reply
- Each research request must follow the same review steps defined by firm policy
