The primary challenge in current AI agent performance lies not with the models themselves, but with the quality and relevance of the data provided to them. Michel Tricot, CEO of Airbyte, demonstrated how agents can misinterpret requests, such as retrieving incorrect sales calls, due to "context poisoning" where excessive or irrelevant data fills the model's context window. To address this, Tricot advocates for logging tool outputs precisely, including token counts and record IDs, and ensuring data is filtered and shaped before it reaches the model. This approach aims to improve agent accuracy by focusing on the precision of input data rather than solely on model capabilities. AI
