A specified objective
Frame a task with a clear input and expected output, such as gathering evidence for a recurring review.
RAIN / Software
Give an assistant a bounded task.
A proposed direction for structured, read-only information work: gather relevant material, prepare a draft, and make each result reviewable.
Product direction
INTELLIGENCE BELONGS WHERE THE DATA LIVES.
01 / THE IDEA
A clear task is more useful than open-ended autonomy.
RAIN Agents explores assistants that perform a defined sequence of information tasks within explicit access limits. These agent workflows are proposed and are not demonstrated by the current telemetry simulator. The initial direction is reviewable assistance, with no implied authority to operate equipment or transact on a user’s behalf.
Limited tools and access
Identify the information an agent may read and the operations it may attempt. Keep permissions tied to the task.
Inspectable intermediate work
Preserve source context and proposed conclusions so a reviewer can see what the agent used and where it was uncertain.
02 / IN PRACTICE
How the pieces come together.
Define the scope, preserve the boundary, and make the outcome something a person can inspect.
- 01
Define the boundaries
Agree the sources, permitted steps, and situations that should stop the workflow or require review.
- 02
Prepare a bounded result
Use representative examples to evaluate information gathering and draft preparation within those limits.
- 03
Review the outcome
Have a responsible person verify the source material and determine whether the result is suitable for use.
03 / A FEW DETAILS
Worth understanding.
Can agents control plant equipment?
No such capability is offered. RAIN’s operational architecture is observe-only, and these proposed information workflows do not add an actuation path.
Are production agent tools available?
A production agent runtime, tool catalog, and deployment offering have not been announced. Individual workflows would need implementation and evaluation.
BUILD WITH RAIN
One site. One question.
A useful next step.
RAIN is preparing for its first field pilot. Start by defining the environment, the data boundary, and what success should look like.
