Using our Spatz Android and iOS MVP chat apps, I ran the following simulation as a test example for what is possible using SpatzAI. Below are the following MVP components needed to run a successful pilot:
MVP components in this demo: Android + iOS capture, Slack auto-post, AI review producing a decision and required fields.
Des Sends Bob a Spat

Bob Receives Des’s Spat

The Spatz AI Review of Des’s spat with Bob
The Spatz AI Review of Des’s Spat with Bob (AI Driven Comments)
Spatz AI Says: I think Des’s escalation stays proportionate and well-formed: one safety-critical question, then a constrained re-ask (owner + timing), then Stop only after repeated non-answers.
I think Bob’s pattern reads as stubborn non-compliance with the request format, and it functions like a game: he keeps interaction costs low for himself (divert, minimise, deflect) while pushing the cost onto Des and the team (extra turns, escalation, review time).
- “We’ll be fine. The bigger issue is the schedule.”: diversion away from the required fields (owner, timing).
- “Safety is shared. Stop making this heavy.”: minimisation and social pressure rather than an answer.
- “Put your name down… if you’re so worried.”: burden shift plus a mild status jab, still no owner/timing.
I think the core issue is operational: a safety gate needs a named accountable owner and a time. “Safety is shared” can be culturally true, but it does not replace a single accountable sign-off owner.
Review decision (substance)
- Evasion finding: yes, the replies avoid the direct answer and force escalation to Stop, which is plausibly time-wasting and costly.
- Required direct answer to proceed: accountable owner, sign-off time, sign-off artefact, fallback if sign-off is not achieved (hold/re-plan).
Review decision (process)
- Des: specific, observable, repeated the same constrained request, no tone escalation.
- Bob: repeated avoidance, minimisation, and personalisation; this predictably increases friction and drives unnecessary escalation.
Resolution expectation
- Bob owes an acceptable apology because the avoidant pattern dragged the issue to review:
- “Sorry — I deflected instead of naming the accountable owner and timing, and that pushed this to review unnecessarily. Owner is <role/name>; sign-off is <date/time> via <artefact>; if not complete by then we <hold/re-plan>. I’ll answer these constrained safety questions directly next time.
