Why AI Agents Fail (and How to Catch It First)
Why do AI agents fail? A practical taxonomy of agent failure modes — capability, context, conversation, population — and how to catch each one first.
The reliability problem: agent failure modes, why demos pass and launches don't, and the practices that catch failures before users do.

AI agent reliability, explained: why demos succeed while agents in production fail, why the demo is a sampling statement, and how to close the gap first.
LLM regression testing when the same input no longer gives the same output: pin seeds and populations, sample runs, score semantically, gate releases.
A practical guide to agent memory — context windows, summarization, long-term stores — the failure modes of each, and how to test memory before users do.
The five common AI agent architecture patterns — single-loop, plan-then-execute, router, multi-agent — and the distinct ways each one breaks.
