What the agent asks of you

Turnout asks unpaid people to give up hours of their life. That is the whole product, and it is the part most worth being careful about. So this page is the other side of the chief's board: for every member, what the agent knows, how many times it has asked this week, the hours it will not text them, and every message it has actually sent. Nothing here is a model's opinion. Every number comes from that member's own history.

Millbrook Volunteer Fire Company. Four limits the agent cannot argue its way around, because they are enforced in code before the tool runs, not by an instruction in a prompt that a model may or may not follow:

Every answer a member gives is written to this department's own Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory, which is where the response history sharpens from week to week without anyone retraining anything.

The prior on the response probability is 32 percent with a strength of 10 observations, from Predictive Dispatch of Volunteer First Responders, 2023. A member with no history is assumed to be about as likely to say yes as the published average, not certain either way.

The roster

The percentage is a Beta posterior over that member's own yes and no history for that kind of window, with a prior taken from the published range for volunteer first responders. It is why the agent asks two specific people rather than texting all fourteen.

The same record over the API

A member who wants to know why they were asked should not have to take anyone's word for it.
