CONCEPT GUIDE

Human-in-the-loop AI workflows

Place review before a consequential action and inspect the execution record.

What the term means here

A human-in-the-loop workflow pauses, escalates or requests approval at a defined step. Review is useful only if the person sees the relevant context and can change or reject the proposed action.

Two documented patterns

n8n advertises human approval checkpoints and execution inspection. Tidio Lyro describes configurable escalation and real-time intervention. These are different forms of oversight; a handoff does not automatically approve an account action.

Supervised is not professionally reviewed

A software approval feature does not establish that a doctor, lawyer or other qualified professional assessed an output. This site records professional review separately from product functionality.

Design a review checkpoint

Show the proposed action, source evidence, target account and cost implications. Decide who may approve, when to time out and how to route a failure. Test those conditions before expanding access.
