What should it do?
One job per agent. You can build another one after.
Plan the week's mealsA menu and a shopping list, sized to your house. Just a chat window.Sort my inboxPaste in the pile, get back what actually needs you, and a draft reply when you want one. Just a chat window.Wait for something to go on saleTells you when the thing you want hits your price. Just web search, nothing to connect.Teach me one thing a dayThe thing you keep meaning to learn, one small piece at a time. Just a chat window.Practise a language with meA patient partner for the language you can almost speak. Just a chat window.Explain a document to meThe letter, contract or form you have read four times. Just a chat window.Something not on this listDescribe it in a sentence and we write the agent, same shape, same hard rules, same blueprint page. A few more questions than the ones above.
What this decides
Each of these is a finished set of instructions we wrote and tested. Picking one fills in the parts that are the same for everyone; the next questions fill in the parts that are yours.
Why it matters
Good agents are narrow. One job, clearly described, is what makes an AI reliable instead of chatty.
