I'm tired of writing apology emails for my own AI.

Last month an agent I was dogfooding cancelled a calendar event I actually cared about. Two weeks before that, a different one auto-replied to an investor with what read like a hostage note from a Slack bot. Both companies have raised more money than I'll see in five years.

The pattern across every "agentic AI" demo on my timeline is the same:

Agent does a thing

Agent emails the user that it did the thing
