Human Approvals for AI Agents

Transform your AI agents from limited question-answering tools into powerful business automation engines - with just one line of code. Add secure human oversight to critical operations while maintaining full control over your automation workflows.

TypeScript Quickstart

Add human approval workflows to your TypeScript/JavaScript agents

Python Quickstart

Integrate human approvals into your Python-based agents

Why Human Approvals?

Build Trust

Give stakeholders confidence in AI automation with transparent human oversight

Ensure Compliance

Meet regulatory requirements with built-in audit trails and approvals

Reduce Risk

Add safety checks to critical operations without sacrificing automation

Scale Safely

Deploy AI agents for high-stakes tasks with appropriate controls

How It Works

Approvals act as intelligent checkpoints in your AI agent’s workflow:

Pause: AI agent reaches a critical decision point
Present: System displays context and data to approvers
Verify: Human reviews and approves/rejects the action
Continue or Halt: Based on human decision

Common Use Cases

Processing financial transactions
Sending mass communications
Modifying system configurations
Accessing sensitive data
Executing bulk operations

Key Features

Synchronous and asynchronous approval flows
Conditional auto-approval rules
Multi-approver workflows
Rich context display
Complete audit trails

Simple Integration

import { needsHumanApproval } from '@your-org/approvals'

// Add approval requirement to any operation
const sendEmail = needsHumanApproval({
  type: 'sync',
  title: 'Email Campaign',
  ask: (args) => `Approve sending email to ${args.recipientCount} customers?`
})

// Use it in your agent
await sendEmail({
  recipientCount: 1000,
  subject: 'Important Update',
  template: 'newsletter'
})
