# Reynforce and Tribble

**Tribble gives your people an approved answer to a buyer's question, with
its source and owner attached. Reynforce does the same job for your AI
agents: it checks each promise before it goes out, and records every one.**

## The problem

> **Example: the RFP answer that becomes a promise.** Your proposal team has
> a good, approved answer about data retention. A person pastes it in,
> reads it, and adjusts it. Your AI agent doesn't paste. It writes to buyers
> on its own, at any hour, and nobody reads the sentence before it goes.

An answer library is built for people who ask. An agent needs something it
must check before it speaks.

## What Tribble does

Tribble is an answer library, and a well-designed one. In its own words,
"Tribble answers every buyer question from what your experts already
approved, with the source and owner attached."

It shows "the source document version, the last reviewer, and the approval
date". It "leaves out what is outdated, restricted or in dispute". And
"Uncertain answers go to the owner, not to the buyer". People ask in Slack or
Teams, and Tribble answers there.

Of everything we've looked at, it's the closest in shape to what Reynforce
keeps.

## What Reynforce does

1. **A list of what's true about your company.** 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: a date nothing is in place to
   keep, its personal word, or anything that lets a buyer believe something
   nobody said.
3. **A record of every promise.** Which agent said what to which buyer, the
   line it relied on, and whether it was allowed. Kept so nobody can edit it.

> **Example: the 20% discount.** Your agent wants to offer 20% off. Your rules
> say anything over 15% needs the deal desk. Reynforce tells the agent to ask
> first, and the request is on the record either way.

## Side by side

| | Tribble | Reynforce |
|---|---|---|
| Who asks | People, in Slack, Teams, RFPs and security reviews | AI agents, before they promise something |
| The question | What is the approved answer, and who owns it? | May this agent promise this, and does someone stand behind it today? |
| What it records | Who approved the answer, from which source, and when | What each agent promised, to whom, and on what basis |
| What an agent is allowed to do | Not its job | Set per agent, with some things never allowed |

## Our view

**Tribble is right about the hard part.** Deciding what's true and who
answers for it is most of the work, and a company with a well-kept answer
library is already further along than most.

Where we differ is who is on the other end. Tribble's answers go to a person
who reads them first. Reynforce is for the moment nobody reads first: an agent
writing to a buyer on its own. That needs a check before the sentence goes,
and a record afterwards of what was actually promised.

If your proposal and security teams answer the same questions every week,
Tribble is built for them. If your agents talk to buyers directly, that's
what Reynforce is for.
