Human in the loop - 4 levels of automation
In a live stream from Every, the host sorts 10 kinds of business work into four levels of automation, from fully human to fully automated, to figure out where people should stay in the loop as AI gets cheaper.
The gist
-
The host defines four levels: human with no AI, human in the loop, orchestrate where you trigger agent tasks, and automate where agents decide when to act.
-
He vibe codes a drag-and-drop work autonomy board with Gemini inside Antigravity, comparing 2022, 2024 to 2025, and 2026 placements.
-
For 2026 he puts coding, debugging, QA and admin in automate, arguing coding should only be automated once debugging and review are automated too.
-
He keeps strategy and product design human in the loop as the seed of the work, and keeps coordination fully human because people want people.
-
Looking to late 2026 or early 2027, he expects discovery, marketing and sales to move to automate, and product design to move to orchestrate.
