Autonomy is a dial, not a switch.

At every setting, a person can watch, step in, or say no.

The question is never whether AI should run without supervision. It is how much, for which job, decided by you and changed when you are ready. Every recipe sits somewhere on a trust ladder, every live interaction is visible while it happens, and any step can be made to wait for a human before it proceeds. The AI does the work. A person can always take the wheel.

Staying in the loop

Visibility while it happens, and a way in at any point.

Barge in and take over

A person can join or take over any live interaction. A call handed to a human mid-conversation, a chat picked up, an email thread claimed. The agent briefs; the human continues with the full context.

Approval gates

Any step in a chain can pause for a one-tap approve or reject. Hold releases, refunds over a threshold, after-hours calls. You decide what needs a human signature.

Watch the floor live

Every live interaction across every channel on one screen as it happens, with parked runs and pre-verification sessions visible alongside active calls.

Pinged when it matters

Long holds, failed verifications, sentiment turning, a parked run resuming. The right person is notified rather than expected to be watching.

The trust ladder

Every client picks the rung, per recipe, and every promotion is a decision you made in writing.

Watch

It observes and reports. Nothing acts without you.

Recommend, then act in bounds

It proposes, you approve. Then it acts inside limits you set, and escalates anything outside them.

Autonomous

It runs the play end to end. Chosen deliberately, per recipe, and recorded in the audit trail as your decision.

Moving a recipe up the ladder is a deliberate act, recorded with who authorised it and when. Autonomy is something you grant, not something that accumulates quietly.

Start on Watch. Move a recipe up when it has earned it, and not before.
