Deep agents blow past the simple LLM+tool loop by actually building plans, diving deep into topics, and executing multi-step tasks over longer time horizons. Shallow agents, by contrast, tend to zig-zag between calls and tools without any real strategy.
You’re already seeing deep agents in action: OpenAI’s Deep Research tackles complex scientific queries, while coding-focused systems like Claude Code and Manus break development problems into step-by-step workflows.
