CTO AI Corner: When AI gets stuck – teaching agents to debug themselves
Do you remember when developers would spend days wrestling with a cryptic bug, making zero progress and developing a close personal relationship with the rubber duck? AI gets stuck in a similar way.

As agents become more autonomous and run longer tasks, this may be one of the most important problems to solve.
