The Two Agentic Loops: How to Design and Scale Agentic Apps
This post introduces the concept of "two agentic loops": the inner loop that handles reasoning and tool use, while the outer loop handles everything that makes agents ready for production—orchestration, guardrails, observability, and bounded execution. The outer loop is real infrastructure that needs to be built and maintained independently. Plano implements this pattern as an AI-native proxy and data plane.
