Turn failed runs into recovery examples.
An agent can fail by choosing the wrong record, misreading an observation, or continuing after a faulty assumption. The useful training example identifies that decision and preserves the context around it.
Experts review the trace, locate the error, and explain what the agent should inspect or do next. Your team gets corrections tied to the task and its expected outcome.
Find the decision that changed the outcome
Review the objective and available information before labeling an action. Explain the correction and why it fits the current state.
- Locate the first consequential divergence.
- Retain the observation and task context.
- Separate planning, execution, and verification errors.
Connect corrections to evaluation
Group recurring errors to set training priorities. Use separate evaluation tasks to check whether the corrected behavior holds in new situations.
- Capture corrected actions and reviewer reasoning.
- Categorize repeated failure patterns.
- Evaluate recovery on held-out task variants.
What a program can include
Scope can include:
- Expert-reviewed agent traces
- Error locations and failure categories
- Corrected next actions with supporting context
- Review notes to inform follow-up training and evaluation
Illustrative task / Not a production record
Make the objective concrete.
- Objective
- Recover after an API query returns several similar records.
- Context
- The task brief, candidate records, prior actions, and the latest tool response.
- Review
- Identify the missing disambiguation step and show how to verify the correct record before making an update.
Common questions
Is trajectory correction limited to browser agents?
No. The existing RDL offering covers agent traces across service workflows and computer use. The review needs enough observations and action context to support a defensible correction.
Does every failed run need to be rewritten?
Not necessarily. A scoped review can focus on the relevant decision point, preserving valid earlier work and documenting the correction and expected continuation.
