AI agent team narrates its own work as a podcast so he can monitor it

His team of AI agents, building a biotech-investor decision-support app, turns the agent chat history into a scripted ElevenLabs-voiced podcast episode after each unit of work so he can follow progress by listening; he caught the team planning a roughly $730 API test run instead of using his AI plan and stopped it.

How it works

Agents complete a unit of work
Agent writes a short script from the chat history
ElevenLabs voices the episode
He listens and steers
He vetoed a planned roughly $730 API test-suite run

Why it’s worth knowing

The agents brief him in audio, scripted from their own chat, including his own interruptions.
