Agentic Workflows and Human Control

Research into how specialized AI agents can divide work, review one another, use tools, and operate inside explicit human-control boundaries.

What we explored

Where do multi-agent or tool-using workflows create real operating leverage, and what controls keep that leverage useful rather than brittle?

Why it matters

Agentic systems can move from simple assistance toward delegated work. That raises both the potential value and the importance of access, validation, escalation, and accountability design.

What B2 built or tested

  • Role-specific agent patterns
  • Multi-step review and critique workflows
  • Tool-use boundaries and approval gates
  • Human escalation points

Technical context

  • LLM orchestration
  • Tool calling
  • Structured outputs
  • Approval and audit patterns

What B2 learned

  • Delegated AI work needs explicit boundaries rather than implied trust
  • Useful agent designs separate execution from review and approval
  • The best automation target often emerges from workflow redesign rather than direct task substitution

Where it could apply

  • Research and synthesis
  • Content-production support
  • Operational monitoring
  • Administrative knowledge work

Solutions Lab projects document active research and learning. They do not imply that an experimental capability is a mature client product.
