Why Most AI Agents Fail — and How a Simple Todo List Fixes It

Description

Most AI agents don’t fail because the model is bad — they fail because they don’t plan. In this video, @christian-bromann from LangChain shows how the TodoListMiddleware gives your agents structure: they can break complex problems into smaller steps, track progress, and execute workflows reliably. You’ll learn: - Why planning helps agents handle complex, multi-step tasks - How to add TodoListMiddleware to your LangChain agent - When planning is powerful — and when it actually hurts performance 💻 Example code: https://github.com/christian-bromann/langchat 📚 Learn more: https://docs.langchain.com/oss/javascript/langchain/middleware#to-do-list #LangChain #AIagents #LLM #TodoListMiddleware #Nextjs #TypeScript #AIengineering #LangGraph
