Human-in-the-loop
A workflow design that pauses at critical decision points for human review and approval before continuing. Combines automation speed with human judgment. Example: AI drafts a response to a complex complaint → human reviews and approves → automation sends it.
Expert insight
The best automation design is not maximum automation it's maximum automation with human oversight exactly where it matters.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, Human-in-the-loop is not an optional consideration it is part of the production standard. Our workflows are tested against edge cases, monitored 24/7, and built to handle what happens when things don't go as expected.
Every client workflow we deploy in the AI & Agents category is designed with this principle in mind from day one not added as an afterthought.
