Approval steps aren't a crutch — they're how you ship AI safely and fast. Here's where to put them.
Why review matters
An agent that's right 95% of the time is a liability without review and a superpower with it.
Put checks where mistakes are expensive
Customer-facing replies, payments and data changes get a human click. Internal summaries usually don't.
Make review one click
If approving takes longer than doing, people stop approving. Good review UIs show the draft, the source and a single button.
Loosen over time
As accuracy is proven, move from approve-every-item to spot-checks. Trust is earned with data.
Key takeaways
✓Put approvals where mistakes are expensive
✓Make review a single click
✓Loosen checks as accuracy is proven
