Your AI Isn’t Dumb. It Just Doesn’t Think Twice.

A developer built a minimal AI agent for the OpenClaw Challenge that follows a generate-critique-improve loop.

Instead of trusting the first answer, the model reviews its own output and rewrites it for a better result.

The approach improved a sample response and suggests that stronger reasoning loops can matter more than complex prompts.

The piece argues this simple self-critique pattern could make AI agents more reliable and useful.
