human in the loop

Hi Javier — saw the "Bring Your Own AI Agent" post and this is right in our lane. I'm building an AI triage assistant on top of Front: it reads a conversation, then drafts replies, summarizes, archives, snoozes, and proposes actions. Today we do exactly the workarounds you mentioned — the agent's writes get attributed to a human account acting as a proxy — so a native agent identity with assignment and @mention support would be a real upgrade for us.


One design point that's central to how we've built it: our agent is strictly human-in-the-loop — it proposes actions (replies, tags, archive, etc.) and a person approves them with one click; it never sends or executes on its own. Does the beta support that propose-then-human-confirms pattern (draft/suggested replies, gated actions), or is it oriented toward agents that act autonomously? That distinction is the thing I'd most want to get right.


Happy to share concrete use cases — we have a working app and real triage flows. 


Thanks,
Jim

Hey ​@JimKeough,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We’re in the process of putting together early designs for this project. We plan to send feedback requests to this group once we have something more solid, then eventually move towards a product that can be tested down the line.

To answer your question, the beta will most likely support whatever your agent does. If your agent creates drafts that teammates approve, then that functionality would not be altered by Front. If your agent takes autonomous actions, then Front would likely not limit the majority of those actions. It’s still very early to be specific about details, but I think the general design philosophy is that you would have the flexibility to operate your agent the way you see fit.

I’ll keep everyone posted once the team has a specific feedback or participation touchpoint for customers who have filled out the form!

FYI we have an early design we’re hoping to get feedback on! We also have an open question about your agent setup.
