How do you determine what action is to use the “cached” agent to reduce cost/increase speed?

So once you run a workflow (prompt) once, then that trajectory is cached.

Run the workflow again and it’ll run through that cached trajectory as best as it can, falling back to computer use if needed.

Thanks. In the OpenDental example, if the task is to update a different patient, is it falling back to computer use because the “search results” are in different places? I.e search for “John” there may be two results. John and Johnson.

What would happen in this case?

Yup, this is a case where you always want an agent to do that step. So in the prompt you just say “do a focused_action to select the search result with John”, and then the pathfinder agent will cache in it’s memory to delegate that step to a mini computer use agent, just for that particular task.

After the focused action is done, it’ll go right back to deterministic!
