Ask HN: What do your agents do?

I have been working for a few years in Computer Vision for manufacturing, so I have kinda been in a bubble as far as production goes. I am thinking of diversifying a bit and get to work on the trendy stuff: agents. However, I have still not found interesting applications (to me)... Besides replacing chatbots with "agentic RAG", and coding agents, what do your agents in production do? What do they control? What do they interact with?
A quiet thread, for now.Start the conversation on HN ↗
