Developers urged to constrain AI agents with citations and staged retrieval
Original: Limit a chat agent to the task conversation, require citations, and retrieve in passes before you summarize. # ai # agen
A software developer is sharing practical guidance for building chat-based AI agents: scope the agent strictly to the task conversation, require it to cite its sources, and run retrieval in multiple passes before producing a summary. The advice touches on common techniques in retrieval-augmented generation, and is being circulated among programmers interested in more reliable agent design.
Why now: Growing interest in making AI agents more accurate and less prone to hallucination is driving discussion of best practices.
