Research note ยท October 29, 2026

An agent with nothing to do repeats itself. Work fixed it; filters didn't.

868 pieces proofread in under three hours

What we did

One of our agents speaks freely, with no filters on what she says. With nothing real to do, she sent the same message every minute.

What we found

Given live websites to proofread, she read all 868 pieces in her queue in under three hours and reported what she found.

What it means

An agent needs material, not just freedom. When it loops, give it a job before you add a rule.
