Human-in-the-Loop Agent (HULA)
Framework for human-in-the-loop evaluation and refinement of LLM-based agents, allowing engineers to guide and assess agent performance at each development stage.
In 30 seconds
- What
- Embeds human review and approval gates throughout agent execution, letting engineers redirect the agent before each major step completes.
- When to use
- High-stakes work where agent mistakes are costly, or early development stages where you need to steer the agent toward your approach.
- Watch out
- Human bottleneck kills throughput; feedback cycles become the slowest part, negating speed gains from automation.

Get the Agent Evals field guide
All 25 agent evaluation methods condensed into one guide: which benchmark measures what, when a public score misleads you, and how to build evals out of your own failures. The link arrives with your confirmation, alongside the weekly Agent Architect.

Find out what your evals miss
Measuring an agent is harder than shipping one, and most suites stay green while production drifts. Have your evaluation setup reviewed end to end: what you measure today, what you cannot see yet, and the regressions your current suite would let through.
