In this video I break down what an agent loop actually is (reason, act, observe, repeat), why the verification step matters more than the architecture, and how to think about a "done" criteria that your agent can actually check. I walk through a few real loops I ran, including thumbnail scoring, a three.js plane, and an Abbey Road recreation, and explain why loops are about getting you closer on the first try, not perfect output. If you have been feeling behind because you are not running five agents at once, this one is for you.
