AI agent reviews & automation

Workplace agents, research workflows, and the handoff between a generated answer and completed work.

Start with the work.

These Field Notes connect product capabilities to practical evaluation questions. Each article explains its evidence and whether it describes documentation, a proposed test, or firsthand observations.

Evaluating an AI agent product

An agent’s useful output depends on more than a convincing answer. Examine which tools it can call, the information it can access, the actions it can complete, and when a person needs to review the work. These analyses separate documented capabilities from proposed tests and firsthand observations.

Start with n8n research workflows and Relevance AI evidence and scope limits. For workplace tools, explore Google Gemini agent analysis and Microsoft agentic Windows coverage.

What I look for

A clear customer task, the quality of the final result, the setup and integration work, and the limits a buyer needs to understand. A polished demonstration is a starting point for questions.
