Agent Builder

Built an autonomous agent that completes a multi-step task without human intervention, booking, research, monitoring, scheduling.

The idea

Agents fail in ways chat doesn't. They get stuck in loops, miss handoffs, hallucinate confidently across multiple steps. Have your kid log every run and identify where each break happened. The debugging is the engineering. Most agent projects work in the demo and fail in real use. Bridging that gap, by watching what actually happens and patching the failure modes, is the entire milestone.

Steps
  1. Define the multi-step task specifically.
  2. Build the agent. Plan its decision points.
  3. Run it 10+ times. Log every run, especially failures.
  4. Fix the failure modes until it runs without intervention.
What counts

An autonomous agent completing a multi-step task reliably, with a run log. The log and demo are plenty.
