Sanity Builds Bespoke Agent Harness

The compelling product is the control plane, not another chatbot: Sanity turns agent creation into a governed content-management workflow. Its results suggest better routing, access, and durability matter more than increasingly elaborate prompts.

• –Defining agents as documents lowers the barrier for non-engineers, but shifts risk toward permissions, ownership, validation, and evaluations.
• –Jev’s typed routing makes delegation faster while forcing agent descriptions to be specific and non-overlapping.
• –Knowledge bases work best when their purpose is sharply defined; vague source collections still produce weak retrieval.
• –Temporal keeps agent runs alive across deploys, enabling background and scheduled work without tying execution to a single process.
• –Only 42 of 61 hackathon agents worked fully or partly, showing that access and integration remain bigger bottlenecks than prompting.
