Yes/no agents outperform open-ended ones in production: retention and reliability data from Watching Agents by Inithouse
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
Binary constraints make agents more useful. That is the core finding after months of running Watching Agents in production, a platform from Inithouse, a studio shipping a growing portfolio of products in parallel.
