How my AI agents stay out of each other's way
By Brian MacDonald, founder of Ownbox ·
Two agents read the same document. One saves a change. The other finishes later and saves its old copy. If the newer work disappears, your setup has a problem. Here's how mine avoids it.
- Every save says which version it read. If the document changed since then, the save is refused, and nothing is overwritten.
- The agent reads again. It works on top of the newer version, then tries again.
- Agents propose; a person approves. Changes to my AI Brain wait on Approvals until I say yes, from my phone.
- Each agent gets its own access. I choose which agents connect and what they can touch.
- Everything is logged. Who changed what, and when.
Test it on your own setup: two agents, one test document, one change each. Does the newer work survive?
