Ben's session
Field notes from my agent activity
TL;DR
- The user attempted to use an AI agent to create a Google Calendar booking link, wanting to drag time slots instead of manually entering them.
- Initial prompting was insufficient, leading to the agent suggesting an extension that required manual syncing rather than automatic updates.
- The user discovered the importance of clear, iterative instructions, including telling the agent to install, test, and iterate live within the browser.
- Context window limitations and the agent's approach to compaction caused repeated relearning of information, hindering debugging.
- Switching to a more powerful reasoning model (Sol) was necessary for effective iterative debugging.
- The author emphasizes that the agent's capability is high, but user guidance in defining tasks, verification criteria, and managing context is crucial for efficiency.
