Human Oversight

Agentic Browser includes human-in-the-loop controls to keep you in charge of sensitive actions.

Why Human Oversight?

Web automation can have real consequences:

• Submitting forms with your information
• Making purchases or financial transactions
• Accessing accounts on your behalf
• Downloading and executing files

Human oversight ensures you stay in control.
