The AI got my event details right but never made the calendar event

He asked the AI to make a calendar event out of an image. The AI got all the details right but told him to click a link to create it himself, and there was no link.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Tells the AI to make a calendar event out of an image
  2. The AI reads the details correctly
  3. The AI tells him to click a link to create it himself
  4. There is no link

Why it’s worth knowing

The AI read every detail on the image right, then pointed him to a link that was not there. The one step that would have made it an agent task never happened.
