Debugging Agent Task Tracking and a Surprise Book Launch | Building in Public Ep. 4

Debugging Agent Task Tracking and a Surprise Book Launch | Building in Public Ep. 4

I’m Thomas Heimann — entrepreneur, internet pioneer, and founder of Cloud Title, an AI-powered title company in Florida. I’ve been building on the internet since before the web existed, and right now I’m building an AI-operated business in public — one episode every day.

Episode 4: the task management system built yesterday has a critical bug — assigned tasks aren’t being logged in the mission control dashboard. I walk through what I found, what I sent to Peter, and what it tells us about building real AI systems in production.

🔹 Why a task management and assignment system was built and what it’s designed to do
🔹 The mission control dashboard: what gets tracked and why visibility matters
🔹 The bug: SiteBuilder received a website project assignment but no task appeared in the dashboard
🔹 What SiteBuilder did do: folder structure set up, but task creation failed
🔹 Sending Peter a detailed diagnostic directive with the full Agent Zero thread
🔹 What the troubleshooting process looks like in a real AI agent system
🔹 Side note: Kindle e-book now live on Amazon; print version pending Library of Congress number

This is what running an AI agent system actually looks like. Not the demos. The real thing. 💪
