The big idea
Like a student checking math homework, AI agents can look back at their work. Good agents don't just do a task and call it done — they check the result and fix mistakes. This makes them way more useful.
Some examples
- An agent that wrote an email reads it back to spot weird wording.
- An agent that booked a meeting checks the date and time again.
- An agent that summarized a story rereads it to see if it's accurate.
- If something looks wrong, the agent fixes it before showing you.
Try it!
Write a sentence about your day. Wait one minute. Then read it again. Did you spot anything to fix? Boom — you just self-checked like an agent!
