My agent 'works' four months straight. The truth is it's me patching it twice a week. (r/AI_Agents)
Reddit thread · Story page
One person who sells automation to small companies says the supplier-order agent they shipped has looked flawless for four months because it gets stuck about twice a week and they fix it first. How much of your uptime is the agent, and how much is you?
In plain words
- A seller says a customer's program for ordering supplies gets stuck about twice a week.
- They fix it before the customer notices, making four months of operation look trouble-free.
- The seller says fixing the program still takes less work than handling those orders by hand.
