The thesis

The human’s part, in five moves.

Governance frameworks all end with “a human reviews it.” None of them describe that human. Here’s the role.

  1. 01

    Read the intent

    What was the agent trying to do?

  2. 02

    Read the trace

    What did it actually do, step by step?

  3. 03

    Add what it can’t see

    Context no prompt carries.

  4. 04

    Decide, with a reason

    Approve, stop or escalate. In writing.

  5. 05

    Feed it back

    So the team gets smarter.

The show

AI Agents in the Loop

A People in the Loop show by Nina Thomas

Episode 1 cover: Should your AI agent run in a loop?
Episode 1

Should your AI agent run in a loop?

Only when there’s a clear check and a clear stop.

Episode 2 cover: How do I write the ask for an AI agent?
Episode 2

How do I write the ask for an AI agent?

One clear page: the job, who it’s for and what done looks like.

Episode 3 cover: What’s GitHub for if you’re not a developer?
Episode 3

What’s GitHub for if you’re not a developer?

Think Google Drive with history, and a yes before anything ships.

The lab

I don’t do blind loops.

I work from my phone, with an AI agent team on Claude and Grok Bot. I check the work, adjust it and approve what ships.

Inside the lab

20+years in enterprise technology adoption
1lane where my agents act alone. Everything else waits for a human.
