Human Override Vertical

🛡️ Human Override Insurance

Your AI agent is fast, capable, and occasionally about to do something catastrophic. Before it fires a sensitive action — payroll, DNS, guest comms, customer-facing messaging — SideGuy puts a human in the loop.

Actions That Need a Human Checkpoint

These Should Never Fire Without Approval

FinancePayroll runs, invoice sends, refund approvals

InfrastructureDNS changes, env variable updates, deploy triggers

Guest CommsBooking confirmations, cancellation messages, pricing replies

Customer MessagingOutbound campaigns, support escalations, complaint responses

Legal / HRContract sends, termination notices, offer letters

Access ControlPermission grants, API key rotations, user role changes

Who This Is For

Anyone Running AI Agents on Consequential Workflows

FounderAI agents handling customer comms or ops actions — one bad output breaks trust immediately

OperatorAutomated workflows touching money, access, or external parties — need a stop before firing

SMB OwnerUsing AI tools for booking, follow-up, or payments — want a safety net without slowing down

Local BusinessAI handling guest arrivals, repair quotes, or scheduling — edge cases need a human call

What's Included

Approval Rails Built Into Your Workflow

Audit of your current AI workflows — identify every action that needs a human gate
Approval checkpoint designed for your stack (text, email, Slack, or dashboard)
Escalation path for each action type — who approves, how fast, what happens if no response
Timeout and fallback logic — workflow pauses safely if approval doesn't arrive in time
Edge case protocol — what the agent does when the situation is genuinely ambiguous
Audit log so every approved and rejected action is recorded
Runbook handed off — your team knows what the gates are and how to manage them
Monthly check-in option to review what's getting flagged and refine the rails

How It Works

Map → Gate → Approve → Log → Refine

Text PJ with your AI stack and what it's doingWhich workflows are running, what actions they can fire, and where you're nervous about automation going wrong.

Workflow auditPJ maps every consequential action in your stack and categorizes by risk level — what needs approval, what can run freely, and what needs a fallback.

Approval rails designed and builtHuman checkpoint configured for your workflow — text, email, or Slack approval before the action fires. Timeout and fallback logic included.

Edge case protocol documentedFor every action type: who approves, what the fallback is, how long to wait, and what gets logged.

Monthly review optionCheck what's getting flagged, what's running clean, and where the rails need tightening as your workflows evolve.

Why This Exists

Providers Own the Agent. You Own the Consequences.

Anthropic, OpenAI, and n8n give you the agent. The moment it touches something real — money, people, infrastructure — the liability is yours.

The Agent

Fast · Capable · Scalable · Tireless

Will execute whatever it's told, whenever it's triggered, with no instinct for when a situation is actually edge-case ambiguous.

Human Override Insurance

Checkpoint · Approval · Audit Log · Fallback

The calm layer between what the agent wants to do and what actually fires. One approval step prevents the mistake that takes days to fix.

The faster AI agents get, the more valuable the human checkpoint becomes. Speed without a gate is just faster mistakes.

Put a Human in the Loop Before It's Too Late

$150–$500 for approval rails, escalation paths, edge case protocol, and audit logging — built into your existing AI workflow stack.
