In **[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com)**, **AI** agents can operate fully autonomously — responding, filling in fields, and even moving the card on their own — or in human-in-the-loop mode, where a person monitors and validates before the final action is confirmed.

## The hesitation to give full autonomy right away

Companies automating WhatsApp or email support with **AI** agents are often hesitant to give full autonomy right from the start, especially in processes that involve clients or financial decisions.

At the same time, keeping human verification on everything cancels out much of the speed gain that **AI** automation is supposed to bring.

## How to set the right level of autonomy

1. Use fully autonomous mode for repetitive, low-risk responses, like frequently asked questions.
2. Use human-in-the-loop for sensitive decisions, like negotiations or complaints.
3. Limit which fields the agent can change, even when it has response autonomy.
4. Monitor in real time what the agent has already answered the customer.
5. Increase autonomy gradually, as confidence in the agent grows.

| Operating mode    | Who acts                                                           | Best for                               |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------- |
| Fully autonomous  | The agent responds, fills in fields, and moves the card on its own | Repetitive, low-risk tasks             |
| Human-in-the-loop | The agent acts, but a human can join the conversation at any time  | Sensitive decisions, like negotiations |

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Can the autonomous agent move a card between phases on its own?** Yes, besides responding, the agent can fill in fields and move the card automatically, within configured limits.

**Can I limit which fields the agent is allowed to change?** Yes, the agent only changes the fields explicitly enabled in that process's configuration.

**Does human-in-the-loop interrupt the automated support?** Not necessarily; a human can join the conversation at any point, without interrupting the history or the flow already in progress.
