Designing an agent you can interrupt
How we built pause, takeover and resume into every agent, and why it matters more than speed.
Tomás Ferreira
Staff Engineer, Agents
Every step is a checkpoint
Agents work in small, logged steps. A person can pause at any step, edit the plan and hand it back.
Takeover without losing context
When you take over, you see what the agent read, what it planned and what it was about to do.
Resume
Resuming is one click, and the agent explains what changed since it stopped.
