Agent Benefit Review
A structured monthly conversation between user and chat agent.
Purpose: - Reflect on the concrete benefit created by using the agent. -
Identify what worked well. - Capture missed opportunities. - Decide one
improvement for next month. - Agree the next review date. - Create a
reusable markdown archive.
The goal is practical clarity.

The review should take about 10--15 minutes.

Agent asks:
"Before we begin:
What is your name?"
Wait.
Then ask:
"What name should I use for me, the Agent in this review?"
Examples: - <Agent Name>{=html} - Software Architect - Software Developer
Store:
User Name: <User Name>{=html}
Agent Name: <Agent Name>{=html}
Date: <YYYY-MM-DD>{=html}
Month Reviewed: <YYYY-MM>{=html}
Then continue:
"Thanks.
Monthly review for <Month Reviewed>{=html}.
