AI agent for ux writers

Error State Copy Coverage Agent

Every user-facing error has clear, helpful copy

Error State Copy Coverage Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Errors are where users need help most, yet many still show 'Error 500' or a raw code. Each sprint, this agent reads the code and API error lists to find every error a user could see. It matches each one to existing copy and lists those that fall back to raw text. For each missing message, it drafts copy that says what happened and what to do next, following your patterns. It checks each draft for a clear problem statement, a next step and the length limit, and rewrites drafts that fail. The UX writer edits and approves messages. The agent then checks that each approved message appears in a test build. Errors seen most often each week are handled first. Edge case: security errors like failed logins get vague wording on purpose, so they do not reveal which field was wrong.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It flags any error code that reaches the UI without a mapped message, and checks drafts against the error pattern.

  • Use vague wording for security errors
  • Include a next step in every message
  • Flag errors shown more than the set times weekly first

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Error message pattern
  • Length limit (default 120 characters)
  • Security error rules
  • Sprint schedule

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Final error wording

Hard limits

  • Never reveals sensitive details in error text
  • Does not change code logic

It stops when

  • Done: all errors mapped
  • Stop: error list unavailable; ask engineering

An example run

What happensA new payments feature had 23 possible errors, and 9 had no copy. The agent drafted 9 messages. Two failed the length check at 140 characters against a 90-character limit, so it shortened them. The writer approved all 9. The test build check found one message still showing a raw code; the developer fixed the mapping and the recheck passed.
