The last mile of agents: render structured output with Gamma instead of dumping JSON
raw-hit10 · reddit · 2026-09-22
A developer observes that many agent projects nail reasoning and tool use but fail at the boring last mile: presenting results to humans.
His fix: agents dump structured output, which he pipes into Gamma, an AI document generator that renders readable reports or decks. Once a dedicated tool handled presentation, his agents felt genuinely useful instead of producing JSON nobody wanted to read. "Intelligence is upstream; usefulness is often in the presentation." He asks how other builders handle it.
