Abstract as High as Possible

High-level abstractions are crucial for developers to build better products, a principle illustrated by the DSPy framework for prompt optimization. This concept applies directly to AI agents, where frameworks like LangGraph or CrewAI can cause teams to operate too far down the stack. For agent systems, the most important abstractions are the agent’s instructions and the external tools it can use. The Subconscious API is presented as a solution that provides this high-level abstraction, allowing developers to build agents by only defining text instructions and a set of tools.
