Agent State Machines: Beyond Loops
When agent loops are not enough, state machines give you predictable, auditable agents. Here is the pattern Bhogar AI uses.
BABhogar AI TeamProduct & Engineering
Pure agent loops are flexible and unpredictable. Production agents for sensitive workflows benefit from explicit state machines: bounded transitions, auditable history.
Why it matters
The state machine becomes the contract between your agent and the rest of the system, with each state having defined entry/exit policies.
How Bhogar AI approaches it
Bhogar AI ships an agent state-machine primitive alongside the loop primitive. You can mix both in one agent - loops within states, state machine across them.
- State-machine primitive in agent canvas
- Bounded transitions and entry/exit policies
- Per-state observability
- Mixable with loops
- Audit-friendly history
What you get
Sensitive agent workflows ship with the predictability and audit trail compliance teams require.
