Guardrailed AI for anything client facing, the human review step is worth the extra friction when a mistake could hit someone's inbox. Curious if you've actually run full autonomy in production anywhere, or is this more of a thought experiment for now?

I’ve run the guardrailed version in production, not unrestricted full autonomy. The system can classify incoming data, select logic paths/routes, and advance through predefined workflow states, but certain states and lower-confidence decisions require human review.

Full Autonomy!

Not wrong, just more brave than I am! 😂 For important business logic, I’d rather give the model autonomy inside clearly defined boundaries than let it operate in the gray.
