Blog series explains how AI agents know when a task is actually done
PerfectAd4814 · reddit · 2026-11-08
A developer on Reddit is running a blog series on building AI agents, driven by the idea that "if you can't explain it, you don't understand it."
After the first post drew comments about retry loops and task termination, the second post dug into how an agent decides it's done — a common pain point in agent workflows. The author plans a new post every 4 days and is taking suggestions for future topics. Worth following for anyone building agents.
