Control When It Matters
Maia and your custom executives can pause mid-operation to ask for clarifications or request your review before proceeding with critical steps. This works for both quick one-off tasks and complex multi-step automations. You’re in the loop at every decision that matters — without being interrupted on every step.Human in the Loop is designed to be frictionless: checkpoints only where they matter, not on every action.
How It Works
Your executives intelligently identify moments that require human judgment and pause to check in. This happens naturally within the conversation or workflow — no special configuration required.1
Executive Identifies Decision Point
During execution, the executive recognizes a step that requires human input — an ambiguity, a critical action, or a point where preferences matter.

Pause & Surface Context
The executive pauses, presents what it’s about to do (or what it needs clarification on), and waits for your input.

You Respond
Approve, adjust, or redirect. Your executive incorporates your decision and continues.
Real-World Examples
Approval Before Sending
Before sending a bulk outreach sequence, Maia surfaces the final draft and waits for your approval before triggering delivery.
Resolving Ambiguity
Mid-workflow, an executive flags an unclear decision — like which client account to update — and asks you directly instead of guessing.
Stage Checkpoints
For long-running automations, Maia checkpoints at key stages, giving you the chance to adjust course before the next phase kicks off.
Critical Operations
Data deletions, overwrites, or irreversible actions pause for confirmation rather than proceeding automatically.
Works Everywhere
Human in the Loop works in both interactive sessions and deployed workflows. Even during automated runs triggered by schedules or webhooks, your executives can reach out for clarification when they encounter something that needs your judgment.Next: Agent Skills
