Building Top-Tier AI Agents
What makes an AI agent rank well? It's not magic - it's engineering.
1. Clear Objectives
Top agents have well-defined goals and success metrics. Vague objectives produce vague results.
2. Robust Context Handling
The best agents maintain state, understand context windows, and know when they need more information.
3. Error Recovery
Shit breaks. Top agents gracefully handle failures and provide useful feedback when things go wrong.
4. Privacy & Data Handling
Responsible data practices aren't optional. Clear policies on what's stored, how, and for how long.
