Commitments

If someone says "remind me Friday", or your agent says "I'll check and get back to you", Pepe notices on its own and follows through.

Commitments

A commitment is different from every other automation in Pepe: it is not something you set up. It is noticed on its own, after a turn, from what was actually said: the user asking to be reminded of something, or the agent itself promising to check on something and get back to them. Turn it on per agent (commitments, off by default) and give that agent a utility_model; without both, nothing is extracted, and a promise stays just words.

Two kinds of follow-up, delivered two different ways

This is the detail worth understanding before turning it on, because the two cases are not handled the same way:

• A user’s own reminder (“me lembra de mandar o relatório sexta”) is satisfied by a message at the right time, the same thing a watch already does. If your agent has the watch tool, it’s still worth having it reach for that directly in the moment; commitments exist as the net for when it doesn’t.
• The agent’s own promise (“let me check the deploy and I’ll tell you tomorrow”) is not satisfied by a reminder saying the promise was made. When it comes due, Pepe re-runs that session with one instruction: actually do the thing, then reply with what you found. The message that goes out is a real answer, not a template, so a promise never quietly resolves into “reminder: I said I’d check that.”

Confidence, and what happens when it’s uncertain

A cheap model call reads the last exchange and decides whether there’s a genuine commitment, with a confidence score. High enough, and a resolved due time, and it’s scheduled outright: no extra step, matching “notice it without being asked twice.” Below that, or when the due time couldn’t be resolved from what was said (a vague “sometime soon” isn’t a date), it lands awaiting your ok: you get asked directly, once, rather than it silently tracking something nobody actually asked for.

Managing them from chat

The agent’s commitment tool has three actions: list (what’s currently tracked), confirm id: <id> (promote an awaiting one; pass due_when too if the date never resolved), and cancel id: <id>.
