Human-first agents need more than an approval button

Set confirmation, approval, escalation, permission, and autonomy boundaries wherever judgment or accountability belongs with a person.

Built for teams running human control at scale

See it in action

Review steps where they matter

Insert a human checkpoint exactly where judgment or accountability needs to stay with a person.

Override without friction

A person can step in and change course without fighting the system.

Approval, not rubber-stamping

Reviewers see the context behind a decision, not just an approve/reject button.

Built for practical oversight

The goal is not to slow work down. It is to place human review exactly where it matters.

  • Insert technically enforced confirmations and approvals into agent workflows

  • Escalate uncertain or sensitive cases to humans

  • Keep operators able to override, correct, or stop execution

Built for how People teams actually work

Not fully autonomous by default

AI assists the workflow, but a person stays accountable wherever policy requires it.

Configurable checkpoints

Decide exactly which steps need a human sign-off and which can run under configured autonomy.

Accountability stays traceable

Every override and approval is logged with who made the call and why.

How it fits into your workflow

What the capability supports

Control who can see, review, approve, correct, or allow each consequential action.

Approval checkpoints

Require confirmation for individual work or cross-user approval before sensitive actions move forward.

Escalation paths

Route edge cases to the people best positioned to decide.

Operator overrides

Let humans correct, pause, or redirect the workflow.

Why human control changes adoption

Give agents room to handle data work without outsourcing accountability.

  • Accountable agent operations

    Keep employment and other consequential decisions with the people responsible for them.

  • Inspectable trust

    Let authorized reviewers see the context, sources, reasoning, messages, and changes behind the work.

  • Selective autonomy

    Choose where agents ask, where they escalate, and where configured autonomy is appropriate.

How teams roll it out

Start by identifying where judgment and policy risk still live.

01

Map the high-risk decisions

Identify the steps that still need a human owner.

02

Insert review logic

Set the approval, escalation, and override paths.

03

Tune the workflow

Move faster where confidence is high and slow down where it matters.

Give agents work. Keep human judgment.
