What If AI Watched You Work?: Inferring Intent from Failed Commands
dfinke · x · 2026-08-09
Doug Finke, a 16-time Microsoft MVP, announces an upcoming livestream exploring a new Agentic AI development loop. Instead of requiring perfect instructions from the user, the AI observes the user attempting workflows the tool wasn't built for.
When a command fails, the AI examines the evidence, infers the user's true intent, and suggests the smallest useful improvements. After user confirmation, the AI updates the tool, creating a continuous learning cycle for future iterations.
