When I was working at amazon (left May 8) working on agents was all the rage. Combined with initiatives that set goals for nearly all services to have a MCP built and available by the end of the year agents will be even more emphasized in the future.
However what happens when you actually build and launch your agent is customers try it, do some initial runs and then go ask your manager to automate their use case. That is why I have been building https://toolscaled.com/ The goal being work through your problem space using agentic chat (like Claude Desktop) and then at the end convert it to a workflow. I am pretty close to launching and have been testing. If you're interested send me an email! (if you do sign up just fyi its still in beta so YMMV.
Interesting to hear that Amazon is doubling down on mcp
Nice! I had a similar idea and a prototype based on Temporal. Wondering, what are you using under the hood to runs the workflows?
I built a workflow execution engine that dispatches to my tool service. I had previously looked into using Temporal but at the time decided to focus on what differentiated the idea. Maybe in the future execution durability will be important enough to make using Temporal the right solution however as of now I am focused on explore the problem space using chat -> convert the good parts to a repeatable process -> trigger appropriately.
