Integrate human oversight and intervention for critical decisions and quality control
Add human oversight and approval to AI agent workflows for critical decisions
Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) is a design pattern where AI agents pause execution at critical decision points to request human review, approval, or input before proceeding. It combines AI automation with human judgment for high-stakes scenarios.
HITL ensures accountability, accuracy, and safety for critical decisions where AI alone may lack context, ethical judgment, or domain expertise. It prevents costly errors in financial, legal, medical, and customer-facing scenarios while maintaining efficiency through automation.
Use HITL for any action that is irreversible, high-cost, legally binding, or affects customer trust. Skip HITL for low-risk, reversible, or internal operations where speed matters more than perfect accuracy.
Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) is a design pattern where AI agents pause execution at critical points to request human review, approval, or input before proceeding. This ensures accountability, accuracy, and safety for high-stakes decisions.
Think of HITL like a self-driving car that asks the driver to take over in complex situations. The car handles routine driving (AI automation), but when it encounters construction zones or unusual conditions (critical decisions), it alerts the driver to take control (human oversight). This combines the efficiency of automation with the judgment of human expertise.
Agent pauses before executing critical actions and waits for explicit human approval
Agent generates draft output, human reviews and edits before finalization
Agent proceeds automatically for high-confidence decisions, requests human input for uncertain cases
Agent handles routine cases, escalates complex or edge cases to human experts
Agents pause at critical decision points for human review
Humans provide context, ethics, and domain expertise
Human decisions improve AI accuracy over time
All decisions recorded for compliance and accountability
