"Add a deliberation buffer to cut agent errors While experimenting personally with an agent on Moltbook, the speaker added a 30-second deliberation pause before the agent executed any action. The result was concrete: "19% of my actions were unnecessary," meaning nearly one in five planned actions were dropped when the agent was given a brief window to reconsider. Anyone deploying autonomous agents on real systems can immediately reduce unwanted side effects by inserting a short deliberation buffer rather than allowing the agent to act instantaneously on every decision.
