Human-in-the-Loop Systems

Build hybrid systems where agents automate routine work and humans handle complex decisions

Closing the Loop: Learning from Human Feedback

The true power of human-in-the-loop isn't just human oversightβ€”it's continuous learning. Every escalation, approval, and correction becomes training data that makes the agent smarter and more autonomous over time.

The Feedback Learning Cycle

πŸ€–
Agent Makes Decision

Based on current knowledge, escalates uncertain cases

πŸ‘€
Human Provides Feedback

Approves, rejects, or corrects the decision with reasoning

πŸ“Š
System Learns Patterns

Feedback becomes training data, models update, confidence improves

πŸ“ˆ
Autonomy Increases

Agent handles more cases confidently, escalation rate decreases

Watch how human corrections train the agent. Each time you apply feedback, the agent's confidence and accuracy improve:

Refund Request
Agent: Auto-Rejected (outside policy)

Ambiguous Query
Agent: Escalated (unclear intent)
Human: Clarified and resolved directly
πŸ’‘ Learning: Agent learns: this phrasing pattern indicates X intent

Priority Upgrade
Agent: Required Approval (high stakes)
Human: Auto-approved (standard for this tier)
πŸ’‘ Learning: Agent learns: Premium tier upgrades are routine
🎯Active Learning

Agent deliberately escalates edge cases it's uncertain about to gather training data in weak areas

πŸ”„Continuous Improvement

Models are retrained regularly on human feedback, improving decision quality without code changes

πŸ“‰Declining Escalation Rate

Over time, agent handles more autonomously. Week 1: 40% escalation. Week 12: 8% escalation. Same quality.

βš–οΈCalibrated Confidence

Agent learns when it's truly confident vs overconfident, reducing both false positives and unnecessary escalations

The Ultimate Goal

Human-in-the-loop isn't a permanent stateβ€”it's a training process. The goal is to gradually shift more responsibility to the agent as it learns from human expertise. Ideally, escalation rates drop from 40% to under 10% while maintaining or improving decision quality. Humans transition from doing the work to teaching the agent to do the work.
