A simpler way to decide

loops.guide helps beginners understand when an AI should answer once, follow a list of steps, or keep checking its work in a loop.

Why this exists

People are moving from hand-prompting AI tools toward building small systems around them. Those systems can try something, check what happened, and decide what to do next.

That is useful, but it is also easy to overbuild. Many tasks do not need a loop at all. This site helps you choose the smallest setup that works.

How the verdict works

The "Should I Loop?" tool looks for simple clues in your task. Does the AI need to check its answer? Does it need to react to an error? Are there risky steps where a person should approve the work? The tool turns those clues into a plain recommendation.
