I 'agent-washed' my own AI build. Whats your checklist to avoid this?

I worked on an agent that now seems to be an automation with an LLM step.

Make recovery from you steps fail is first attention or attempt in learning
very true!
Great question. My litmus test: can your AI actually take multi-step actions autonomously, or does it just answer questions? If it needs a human in the loop for every decision, it's a chatbot with extra steps. Real agents need tool use, memory across sessions, and the ability to fail and retry on their own. I've been building with Claude + autonomous loops and the difference is night and day vs wrapper-style 'agents'.
Rightly said. What agent are you building? Any learnings you can share from your process would be appreciated!
