Reviews ​

Reviews is the inbox of cases a person has to decide before the run can go on. When an agent is unsure, or a rule says a person must look, the run pauses here; your answer resumes it.

At a glance ​

Before you beginAn agent with Confidence or Governance switched on, or one that can ask questions (Agents → Capabilities)

1. What it is and why it matters ​

Automation should not guess when the stakes are high. Studio lets an agent stop and ask:

A case appears when…Set up in
The agent's confidence score is below its threshold (e.g. 70 %) and its policy says review or escalateAgent → Capabilities → Confidence
A governance rule fires that requires reviewAgent → Capabilities → Governance
The agent itself asks a person a questionThe agent's instructions and policies

2. Answer a case ​

  1. Open Reviews. The Waiting tab lists open cases.
  2. Click a case. You see:
    • the step it stopped at, how long it has waited, and when it gives up;
    • What the agent had reached, its partial answer;
    • the questions to answer: buttons for a choice, a box for free text.
  3. Answer every question.
  4. Optional: add a note, e.g. "Spoke to the payer; in-network cardiology has a six-week wait."
  5. Click Send and resume the run.

In a workflow, the run bar shows Waiting for review with an Open the review link that brings you straight here.


3. Tabs ​

WaitingOpen cases. A case past its deadline says This case is past its deadline
AnsweredCases someone has decided, with the answer
ExpiredCases nobody answered in time

4. Good to know ​

  • One answer per case. If a colleague answers first, you see already answered.
  • Resuming does not count against budgets again. The run was admitted when it started.
  • A personal app account acts as you if the resumed run uses an app.
