A setup that gets better when models improve
Chat apps and model names change every quarter. What should not change is how you wire the work: the harness and the skills around it. Treat the model as swappable. Keep the connectors, evals, rules, and human review loop.
The product is the harness, not the model name
- Connectors: email, calendar, sheets, and the other pipes that move real work; not a one-off paste into a chat box.
- Evals: quick checks that a run did what you meant before anything sends, pays, or deletes.
- Rules: what stays draft-only, what needs approval, and what never runs unattended.
- Human review: you keep the loop; the agent proposes, you ship.
When a better model ships, you swap the engine. The workflow, guardrails, and review loop stay.
