Autonomous AI AgentsReward and Feedback Loops for AutonomyAn agent ran ten steps open-loop and compounded a tiny early error into nonsense. The fix was a real autonomous agent feedback loop - and rich text feedback, not a reward number, is what made it work.October 7, 2026·8 min read
Autonomous AI AgentsCuriosity and Exploration in Autonomous AgentsMost agent advice says keep it on rails. But some tasks need the opposite. This guide covers autonomous agent exploration - when to let an agent wander, and how to keep wandering from becoming drift.October 7, 2026·8 min read
Autonomous AI AgentsAutonomous Agents That Write and Run CodePicture an agent that writes a function, runs it, sees the failure, and fixes itself - no human in the loop. An autonomous coding agent is the most reliable kind of agent, and the reason why is worth stealing.October 7, 2026·8 min read
Autonomous AI AgentsThe Voyager Agent: Lifelong Learning ExplainedThe Voyager agent played Minecraft for hundreds of hours and got permanently better - without ever changing its model weights. Here's how lifelong learning without training actually works.October 7, 2026·9 min read
Autonomous AI AgentsBuilding an Autonomous Research AgentOne research agent confidently reported a 'fact' it pulled from a single unreliable source. Building an autonomous research agent that doesn't do that takes a few specific safeguards - here they are.October 7, 2026·8 min read
Autonomous AI AgentsComputer-Use Agents: How They WorkMost explanations of the computer-use agent make it sound like magic vision. The reality is a fragile screenshot-click loop - and understanding its weak points is how you make one reliable.October 6, 2026·8 min read
Autonomous AI AgentsAutonomous Web Agents ExplainedEver wonder why an autonomous web agent can reason brilliantly and still click the wrong button? The answer is grounding, not intelligence - and it explains most web agent failures.October 6, 2026·8 min read
Autonomous AI AgentsSelf-Correction in Autonomous AgentsPicture an agent that finishes a task, declares success, and is confidently wrong. This case study shows why autonomous agent self-correction usually fails and the fix that finally worked.October 6, 2026·8 min read
Autonomous AI AgentsHow to Keep an Autonomous Agent on TaskCounterintuitively, the longer an autonomous agent runs, the less it remembers what you asked. Here's how to keep an autonomous agent on task even across hundreds of steps.October 6, 2026·9 min read
Autonomous AI AgentsStopping Conditions for Autonomous AgentsOne agent looped 400 times refining a report nobody would read, then billed for it. A weak autonomous agent stopping condition is how that happens - here's the teardown and the fix.October 6, 2026·8 min read
Autonomous AI AgentsGiving an Autonomous Agent Tools SafelyMost guides on autonomous agent tool safety focus on the model refusing bad requests. That's the wrong layer. Real safety lives at the tool boundary - here's how to build it there.October 6, 2026·8 min read
