AI Orchestra's Miyatchi: hand AI agents 3 design decisions, not code

AI Orchestra's Miyatchi: hand AI agents 3 design decisions, not code

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    Writing in a Zenn article, Miyatchi of AI Orchestra says the spec for an automated task is just the current human procedure — company research and needs inference — and Codex (model GPT-6 Astra) was given only the form URL, workflow, and output shape.

  2. Why it matters

    The visible steps leave out silent human judgments, so agents may fill reports with the wrong same-named company or blank figures unless told to mark data as undisclosed or unknown — the write-out, Miyatchi says, gets updated as results come back.

  3. What to watch

    The design hinges on separating flow (emails for immediate awareness) from stock (a Notion database for later review), so it is worth seeing whether this three-step pattern holds for work outside inquiry handling.

WHO IT HITSNon-engineers at small companies who ask AI agents to automate internal work are the ones this lands on. It also applies to anyone who reviews agent output and has to catch the silent judgment calls left out of a written procedure.

Context & Analysis

The article is presented not as a step-by-step build guide but as a design note on what to decide before making a request, alongside a 5-minute-39-second video. The concrete example is AI Orchestra's own inquiry form, which previously required a person to search each company, read its website and IR materials, and prepare a reply or meeting. Two lines of that old work — company research and needs inference — became the written spec.

The author draws two lessons from operating the system. First, human procedures contain judgments that never appear on paper: telling apart a same-named company, and leaving a figure blank rather than guessing. The system now matches candidate companies using email domains and the business descriptions in the inquiry, and if the clues do not line up it records "unknown" rather than picking a company. Second, the receiving side was split into flow, meaning notification and analysis emails, and stock, meaning a Notion database the company can look back through. Splitting them fixed smaller details too: notification mail was separated from internal analysis mail, AI-written columns were separated from human status columns, and failures were given both a notification and a page in Notion.

The author calls this order the "Miyatchi-style 3 steps" and says the same questions can be asked of any internal task, not just inquiry handling. Whether the pattern travels that far is what the reader can judge — the evidence offered is one system running daily at the author's own company.

FAQ
What does the AI agent actually do in this system?
When an inquiry arrives from the company website form, the AI researches the sender's basic company information. It then infers the needs from the inquiry text, sends an analysis email, and stores the result in a Notion database.
Why does the article say to always use a frontier model when asking Codex?
The author says that testing with a cheaper model makes it impossible to see the AI's current limit. Having a sense of what the AI can do becomes a premise for the design.
