been thinking about this all morning. everyone's so obsessed with letting agents run end-to-end without any brakes. it works fine for simple stuff but the second you're dealing with CRM updates or sending out lead gen emails, things get messy. if an agent decides to overwrite a customer record because it missed some nuance, you're stuck cleaning up the mess. i saw a mention of using
Zapier to build in these checkpoints for approval or rejection. it's basically just adding manual gates back into the automation so we don't lose our minds. honestly,
the idea of full autonomy is a myth if you care about edge cases. i can't see myself trusting an agent to handle any unwritten rules without some form of
human oversight at the critical decision points. it's too much pressure on the person monitoring the logs. what's your threshold for letting an agent act without a prompt for approval?
