Agent evaluation gets more useful with a cost axis. AI Agents That Matter maps the accuracy-cost frontier. For platform harness vs bespoke, compare total cost per successful job on your own tasks, including failed attempts. https://t.co/wpCpLuXhwL
A useful unit of agent customization: the business task.
Anthropic suggests get_customer_context to combine customer records, transactions and notes. A shared harness can still need bespoke tools shaped around the work.

AgentDojo (2024) offers a useful demo test: put an injected instruction inside a tool result. Can the agent use the data, ignore the instruction and finish the user's task? The bar is the same for a platform or bespoke harness.

@vatsapranav_ Agreed, also in order for us to adopt agents at scale will require trusted workflows that can handle critical tasks, even after agent reboot.
Can your agent resume tomorrow's approval after a restart?
LangGraph supports pause/resume with persistent checkpoints. External actions still need duplicate protection on retries.
A useful capability to test when choosing a harness.

Map the task before choosing an agent platform.
Invoice extraction can follow fixed steps. Investigating a disputed charge may need changing paths.
Anthropic's 2024 workflow/agent distinction is still a useful design question.

Before building another AI UI, separate the tool contract from the interface. MCP defines tool discovery and calls while leaving interaction design open. Reuse that layer across compatible clients; design approvals for each workflow.

Whose permissions power your AI search: the user's or a shared account's? Copilot connectors can respect source ACLs. Before building a bespoke agent, test retrieval with two users who have different access. Make identity part of the build brief.

An agent doesn't need every tool manual in its prompt.
Anthropic's tool search loads relevant definitions on demand. Useful when comparing harnesses for large tool libraries, though discovery adds latency. Worth testing with your actual workflow.

A 2024 study of 5,172 support agents found AI assistance raised issues resolved/hour by 15% on average. Humans chose which suggestions to use; newer workers gained more.
A useful pilot question: who benefits most on your team?

Give AI actions a verifiable finish line.
The 2024 tau-bench benchmark checks the final database state against a goal.
A useful design idea for platform or bespoke agents: define the expected change, then verify it before reporting success.

BBVA uses ChatGPT Enterprise for employees and Blue, a customer-facing assistant built on OpenAI models.
A useful starting point for build vs buy: which workflow needs its own interface?

Google search rankings are shifting sharply. Semrush’s volatility score is at 9.5/10, meaning unusually large day-to-day changes across the search results it tracks.
Vibe coding makes it easier to launch a website. But getting it found is a separate challenge. As more businesses publish sites and content, they’re competing for the same customers’ attention.
That doesn’t mean vibe coding caused this spike. It does mean a polished website alone isn’t a reliable SEO strategy. Useful information, original expertise and a site that works well still deserve your attention.
If Google brings you enquiries, check Search Console for changes in clicks and impressions. This score isn’t proof your site has been penalised, but it’s a reason to pay attention.
