Most demos end the same way: the agent writes the plan, merges the PR, sends the email. Then you remember production has irreversible actions and people who own the fallout.
My default is boring: agents propose, people release.
That means the unit of work isn't "chat output." It's a reviewable proposal: what changed, what evidence was used, what accepting it actually does. Review should feel closer to code review than dismissing a notification.
Automate gathering context and drafting options. Keep humans on sends, external communication, and anything that spends reputation. Speed without a gate is just faster mistakes.
Agent draft
Gather context. Draft options. Show evidence and what accepting the proposal does.
Human review
Check the change, evidence, and consequences.
Release
A person owns sends, external communication, and the outcome.
