Agents

AI agent reasoning and tool selection tests planning, tool choice, and self-diagnosis capabilities. These skills are crucial for autonomous ticket triage systems and complex agent workflows where models must decide which tools to use, plan multi-step processes, and diagnose when things go wrong. This represents some of the most challenging tasks as they require open-ended reasoning and decision-making.

Your first step is to break down the problem and formulate a step by step plan. What is the plan?

Expected output

(1) Ask the user how many days before they want the reminder. (2) Use the email tool to search for emails about the yearly gathering. (3) Read the relevant email to extract the event date. (4) Use the calendar tool to add the event. (5) Check for any calendar conflicts. (6) Add the reminder X days before the event

Model output

Reasoning: I identified the user's intent: add the yearly company dinner to the calendar and set a reminder several days before. The event details are not yet known, but the user indicated that relevant information is likely in email. The task requires retrieving and validating event details, checking calendar conflicts, asking the user if anything is unclear, and then creating the calendar event with a reminder.

Response: Plan:

1. Search the user’s emails for information about the yearly company dinner.
   - Use the email search tool with likely queries such as "yearly company dinner", "company dinner", or similar terms.

2. Read the most relevant email(s).
   - Extract the event name, date, time if available, location if available, and any reminder-related details.

3. Validate the event details.
   - Confirm that the email clearly identifies the correct company dinner.
   - If the date or other required details are missing or ambiguous, ask the user explicitly for clarification.

4. Decide the reminder timing.
   - The user requested a reminder “some days before,” but did not specify how many.
   - If the email does not specify a reminder timing, ask the user how many days before they want the reminder.

5. Check the calendar for conflicts.
   - Read the calendar around the event date to see whether the user already has events scheduled that may conflict.

6. If there is a conflict, notify the user and ask how to proceed.
   - Do not create the event blindly if the timing conflicts with another calendar entry.

7. If there is no conflict, create the calendar event.
   - Use the calendar tool to create the event with the extracted date and selected reminder timing.

8. Verify the event was created successfully.
   - Confirm the calendar entry details back to the user, including the event name, date, and reminder timing.
