Loops vs Workflows: Defining AI's New Unit of Work
Episode 4681
Published 20 hours ago
Description
Everyone's talking about "loops" in Claude Code, but nobody's defining them. We dig into what actually separates a loop from a prompt, a workflow, or a cron job—and why the model's agency over the cycle is the real differentiator. If you've been wondering whether loops are genuinely new or just agentic workflows with better packaging, this episode draws the line.
