A practical example
Example: an agent that drafts renewal emails runs unsupervised for low-value accounts, but every message above a set contract value queues for a sales manager's review before sending.
What to evaluate before investing
- Ask how supervisors are notified of pending actions and whether review queues support assignment, comments, and bulk approval.
- Confirm the platform logs every agent action with inputs, outputs, and the reviewer decision for later audits.
- Test whether supervision rules can change per workflow, per segment, or per risk level without rebuilding the automation.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Supervision adds review latency; over-restricting agents can erase most of the time savings that justified the automation.
