How it works

01

Multi-step tasks need a person to click through several systems.

Step by step

  1. 01Understand. Request turned into a plan.
  2. 02Act. Tools called in order.
  3. 03Approve. High-impact step needs a person.Human checkpoint
  4. 04Report. Outcome and log returned.

Connects

Built on n8n. Equivalent tools can be swapped in.

Human control

A person stays in control at the "Approve" step. Everything else runs on rules you agree, with every run logged.
