Human-in-the-Loop: Building AI Agents That Actually Work for Data Teams

The gap between an AI agent that works in a demo and one that runs in production is where most data teams get stuck. Agents can write application code from a prompt but still struggle with the nuance of data engineering, governance, and cross-functional workflows.

Security, privacy, and data teams are being pulled into closer partnership than ever to answer a question nobody had two years ago: who is accountable when an agent accesses, decides, and acts on enterprise data?

1

How are you governing agent access to sensitive data without slowing down the innovation your organization is asking for, whether those agents are built internally or delivered by a vendor?

2

Where is human-in-the-loop a deliberate design choice in your agent workflows vs. a temporary measure until you build more trust in the platform?

3

What does your path from pilot to production actually look like, and how are you evaluating the right mix of build, buy, and partner to get there?
