Why Agents Need Good Retrieval (Because Goldfish Can’t Run Workflows) !!
GPT walks in like it owns the repo. Swagger of a senior, memory of a goldfish.
It compliments your question — calls you brilliant — then writes code that deletes your database.
It’s the kind of teammate that says, “Trust me,” right before production catches fire.
You ask for logic; it gives you philosophy.
You say “optimize,” it says “reinvent.” It’s five interns sharing one brain, each confident, each forgetting what the others said.
When it breaks, it doesn’t panic — you do.
And GPT? “Oh, your code must’ve caused that.”
It sells you hope, packages confusion, and delivers poetry instead of precision.
Yet — we keep coming back. Because when it does work, it feels like magic. And when it doesn’t… well, at least it rhymes.

Even Messi needs a good midfield — just like even the smartest agent needs solid retrieval behind it.
