The most common mistake businesses make building AI agents
Scope creep. A general agent meant to do everything does nothing reliably.
The mistake
The most common agent mistake is scope creep — building a general agent meant to do everything, which does nothing reliably. Agents earn trust by owning one job well.
The fix
- —Pick a single, well-defined job.
- —Give it only the tools and data that job needs.
- —Evaluate it against real cases before launch.
