Goal Management: Priorities, Deadlines, and Trade-offs
Goal Management: Priorities, Deadlines, and Trade-offs
Multiple goals are normal
Agents often juggle: user satisfaction, correctness, speed, and cost. Make priorities explicit.
Priority queues
Represent goals as items with priority + deadline + status. Let the agent pick the next best action based on that queue.
Trade-offs
When goals conflict, the agent should explain the trade-off and ask for preference if needed.
