These are all good technical and process recommendations, but I do think we shouldn't downplay the importance of psychology and literacy. We need bigger, more overtly honest marketing which explains that AI /LLM agents not only screw up, but that we really shouldn't be relying on them for things that could compromise our health, safety, financial well-being or decisions that impact our lives in a measurable way.
We don't generally trust random unqualified strangers to invest for us, or assess our health. We do entrust people who have been vetted against criteria that demonstrate those skills. To me, there's no reason we shouldn't apply similar logic to LLMs and general agentic models.
Part of that means verifying the outcomes, rather than blindly trusting.
Honestly, the few times I've used agents for travel planning have mostly been sub-par. But they do help identify possibilities and get me past analysis paralysis, which IS good.
