Where AI agents actually work in production is predicted by two properties of the task, not by the industry or the vendor: a verifiable feedback loop the agent can iterate against, and a blast radius you can bound. Coding leads by a wide margin; research, analytics, data engineering, SOC triage, and IT operations follow — each with a different verifier, a different checkpoint, and a different honest maturity grade.
Human-in-the-loop agent design is a triage discipline, not a checkbox. Tier every agent action by reversibility, blast radius, and run-time confidence; gate only the tiers that earn it; enforce the gate with durable pause-and-resume mechanics your framework already ships; and measure approval latency and override rates so actions can earn autonomy over time.
