Human-in-the-Loop
A workflow design where a human reviews, approves, or corrects an AI's output or actions at key points, rather than letting it run fully unsupervised.
Many production AI agent systems keep a human-in-the-loop specifically for higher-risk actions, like sending an email or spending money, even if lower-risk steps run automatically.
