OpenAI reported ~10,000 agents working on Navier–Stokes.
That raises a question for teams of any size: how should agents work together, and which ways of working are worth reusing?
Our insight: a workflow that loses on average can solve what the winner misses.
FlowBank learns which workflows to keep and when to use each.
