Human-in-the-loop handoff

Pausing a run at a step that needs a person — an approval or a verification code — then resuming from the same step once it is cleared.

What is human-in-the-loop handoff?

A human-in-the-loop handoff suspends an automated run when it reaches a step a person must clear, keeps the browser session parked and open, surfaces the decision, and continues from that exact step once the input arrives. It is the alternative to failing the run and starting over.

Why it matters

Real authenticated workflows are not fully autonomous — they have checkpoints. Parking rather than failing keeps a long flow from dying at the first gate and keeps a person in control of the steps that should not be decided by a machine.

Put your agent to work. Keep the decision.

Give your agent a real browser, authorize the accounts it may use, and keep control of every step. Repeated runs compile into skills that replay without a model.
