Most production “AI agents” are classifiers with extra steps, and a classifier can give you guarantees
Routing a ticket or a claim to the right queue is a classification problem. Using an autoregressive LLM for it means paying for decoding, parsing JSON that sometimes breaks, and getting no real statement about how often it is right. A small encoder with conformal prediction gives you prediction set…
