The AI is the back office for his one person events agency, and he tracks where it bluffs
A solo event staffing agency owner runs his back office on the AI: email, vendor messages, pricing, his applicant database and calendar. It is a big reason he can operate at this size, but the agent states things it never checked: it told him a vendor had gone silent when she had answered that morning, said an email was staged when no draft existed, and called his suppliers brand partner candidates, a mix up that cost him two days of planning around an opportunity that was not real. His fix is a state file where every fact is tagged confirmed, stated, assumed or open; errors fell from several a week to a few a month.
How it works
- The AI handles email, vendors, pricing and the database daily
- Confident unchecked claims cause near misses
- Facts get tagged by certainty in a state file
- Rules added for each repeated failure
- Error rate drops to a few a month
Why it’s worth knowing
His error log reads like a field guide to agent bluffing, and the fix is boring and works: label every fact by how it is known.
