AI tool bug fixed: User notifications added after task completion

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author details a persistent bug where AI-driven tools would complete tasks but fail to notify the user, leading to the perception of breakage. The core issue was that the output was delivered to a browser tab that users rarely kept open. The solution involved implementing a system to visually indicate task completion, such as a toolbar badge and a notification in the side panel, and ensuring these notifications were marked as 'seen' by the user.

    A skill that finishes into a tab nobody has open did not finish

    <p>Your agent runs a job. The job succeeds. The row in your job table says <code>completed</code>. And the person who asked for it is on a different tab, in a different app, and never finds out. Every framework I have read treats "the tool returned" as the end of the arc. It is n…
