SandMatter co-founder: a convincing final answer isn't enough to ship an agent
VariousMechanic5811 · reddit · 2026-10-17
A SandMatter co-founder asks on Reddit what blocks agent releases beyond a plausible final answer, listing his pre-launch checklist: true task completion vs. plausible description, action boundaries and permission requests, real cost including retries, regression checks across repeated runs, and recovery from partial failures. Example failure: the agent reports a message sent, but a retry sent it twice — answer fine, outcome broken. He invites the community to share their own release-blocking failures and tests.
