Compared with

Reynforce and agent-platform supervisors: Sierra and Decagon

By Callum, founderLast updated 3 min read

In short

Sierra and Decagon check their own agents from the inside. Reynforce works across every agent you run, on any platform, with one list of what's true and one record of every promise.

The problem

The buyer doesn't care which platform said what. They see one company.

What Sierra and Decagon do

Sierra runs "supervisors" beside its agents. In Sierra's words, "Supervisors run in parallel, reviewing each response as it's generated, verifying facts, enforcing policy", stepping in or "escalating to a human when needed." Monitors then review every conversation afterwards, including "grounding in fact — do they stick to verified knowledge?"

Decagon uses Agent Operating Procedures. "An AOP is a step-by-step set of natural language instructions backed by code." They're "the playbooks that allow Decagon agents to resolve complex, multi-turn conversations reliably at scale", "equipped with guardrails to keep sensitive operations safe".

Both are serious, well-built ways to keep a platform's own agent on track.

What Reynforce does

  1. One list of what's true about your company, shared by every agent. Every line has a named owner and the date someone last checked it.
  2. Rules for each agent. What it may promise on its own, what needs a person first, and what it may never say.
  3. One record of every promise, whichever platform the agent ran on. Kept so nobody can edit it.

Our view

If your customer-facing agent runs on Sierra or Decagon, their checks are a real strength. Sierra's supervisors are the closest thing on an agent platform to the check Reynforce makes.

Our view is that most companies won't end up with one agent on one platform. They'll have a support agent, an outbound agent, maybe an agent their partner runs, and their own people. A promise made by any of them lands on the same buyer. That's why the list of what's true, and the record of what was promised, should sit outside any one platform.

An agent on either platform could ask Reynforce before it promises a price, a date or a feature, if the platform lets it call an outside tool.

The short version: a platform's supervisor watches its own agent. Reynforce watches what your company promises, whichever agent said it.
