Designers don't yet know how a person should watch, stop, and check an agent

UI/UX DesignAI in Product

Designers describe designing for a person who supervises agents as an open problem with no pattern library yet.
Interfaces for one person and one agent are everywhere, while nothing yet handles several people and several agents at once.
Sixteen employers are hiring for this, and one job listing tells applicants the patterns for directing and trusting agents do not exist yet.
The evidence is hiring intent and essays, and the usable answers are still small: supervising frees twenty to sixty minutes between redirections.

Someone has to decide what a person is allowed to stop halfway through, and that is a product call.
Your success measure has to cover how fast someone caught a bad run, not just how many finished.
Worth asking how a user finds out that an agent did the wrong thing, and how late.

Progress, pause, undo and the record of what happened are screens you will draw from nothing.
One person watching six agents at once is a layout problem nobody has solved in public.
Recruit people who have never watched an agent run, because the mental model is the risky part.
