I’m stuck trying to understand which approach should I choose for a project for my BOSS. First let me write my understanding, correct me if I’m wrong: AI agents : I understand they are apps built by a developer, with the help of Claude Code maybe? to do tasks, example summarizing things, drafting posts, moving data, research, reports, manage tickets, reply to emails, chat support agent, etc Workflow platforms : example n8n, Zapier, Make, etc… I understand that one can do with them exactly the same what an AI agent does but without coding. Plus you can also connect to AI Agents inside a workflow system somehow. But WHEN should I use each? Let me give you a direct example what I need to build , my boss needs to create AI storyboard generator, do I create an AI agent/app with Claude Code? Or do I build an Automation workflow that connects to AI model APIs? (for texts and images generation) submitted by /u/RadiantQuests
