Since it’s Christmas, I’ve been thinking about Christmas assistants, mostly as a way to highlight beyond the foundational design principles.
Most assistants handle individual questions well, but struggle once you ask them to manage anything over time, like:
- tracking who you’ve already bought gifts for
- remembering a budget cap across multiple suggestions
- not suggesting items that won’t arrive before Christmas
A more structured design might include:
- an intent analyzer that extracts things like “budget-sensitive” or “last-minute”
- a simple planner that maintains a checklist (e.g., gifts left, budget remaining)
- task-specific workers (one focused on gift ideas, another on reminders)
- a validation step that checks for obvious issues before replying
Automating these parts helps the assistant stay consistent instead of reinventing logic every turn.
What would be your Christmas themed Agent 😁😉 and how would you approach it?
