How to implement human-in-the-loop systems
Answer:
Pick intervention points, present context to reviewers, record decisions, and feed outcomes back into your system.
The full story
Implementation starts by choosing the moments where the system must ask for help.
Practical guidelines
- Pick checkpoints (tools, thresholds, policies).
- Build a reviewer UX with context.
- Persist state while waiting for a decision.
Building this infrastructure yourself can be complex. Platforms like TofuLoop handle the state management and reviewer interface for you, letting you focus on your agent logic.
A good rule: start conservative, measure outcomes, then expand autonomy where the data supports it.
