The problems people actually hit with AI

Plain answers to the things that go wrong: work that gets redone every day, agents that loop forever, a local model your script can't reach, documents you're not allowed to upload. Each one ends with a working file you can read and run.

Repeated work

Why does my AI redo the same work every single time?

You asked the assistant to do a job. It did it. Tomorrow you ask for the same job, and it starts from nothing: same explanation, same context, same co
