Agentic Orchestration

Human-in-the-Loop Patterns

Build agents that pause for human approval. Learn interrupts, checkpoints, and confidence-based routing.

Autonomous agents are powerful—until they're wrong. A trading bot that executes a bad recommendation, a support agent that gives incorrect information, an email assistant that sends an embarrassing message. Some decisions need human oversight.

This tutorial teaches you to build agents that know when to pause. They analyze their confidence, request approval for high-stakes actions, and resume exactly where they left off.

What You'll Learn

  • LangGraph interrupts that pause execution
  • Checkpoint persistence for later resumption
  • Confidence-based routing (auto-approve vs human review)
  • Build a simple approval UI
  • Production patterns: timeouts, escalation, audit trails
