Human-in-the-Loop: Confirmations and Approval Flows
Where humans should stay in control
- Money movement
- Data deletion
- Publishing content
- Account changes
Designing confirmation prompts
Make confirmations specific: show exactly what will happen, with a clear “Approve / Cancel”. Avoid vague “Proceed?” questions.
Draft-first pattern
Let the agent create a draft (email, document, ticket), then request approval to finalize.
Operational benefit
Approval steps also create an audit trail, which makes compliance teams happy.
