AI agent use cases where the agent prepares and a person approves

Thirteen examples of what agents like ours can do, for the products we are building and for the client projects we take on, grouped by team. Each card names the task, the systems the agent works in, what it prepares, who approves it and what is recorded.

Every case on this page is a made-up example that shows the mechanism. None describes a client or a shipped product. Yours would follow your own rules and approvers.
