Agents Aren’t Coworkers, Embed Them in Your Software

Agents Aren't Coworkers, Embed Them in Your Software

Feldera co-founder Gerd Zellweger argues agents should be embedded in existing software, not treated as chatty coworkers. He lists 3 patterns: CLI, declarative specs, and Kubernetes-style reconciliation loops, then adds CDC streams for inserts, updates, and deletes. The key split: agents adapt logic, while the engine runs it continuously and emits precise changes.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass, but this is vendor engineering commentary, not a launch or first-person benchmark. Concrete architecture patterns justify featured, not the 78+ band.
