ACTION DASHBOARD
GPT-Entrepreneur Email - Automated Actions Executed
5.2: The Autonomous Decision
Some actions are safe to automate. Others require human judgment. The key is knowing which is which.
- Creating tickets for tracking
- Logging to database
- Sending Slack alerts to internal team channels
- Tagging/labeling emails
- Sending emails to external parties
- Escalating to executive leadership
- Taking system actions (disabling models, blocking access)
- Making financial commitments
The Critical Question
Should the agent execute these actions automatically, or ask for approval first?
This is not a technical question. This is a trust and risk question.
Your Challenge
For each action your agent can take, decide: should it execute automatically, or require human approval? This is the most important design decision in agent systems.

Explore the Action Dashboard
Now look at the Action Dashboard on the left. You'll see all the actions taken in response to the GPT-Entrepreneur email. Notice some cards say ⚠ Approval Required—these contain high-risk actions that need human review.
Click through the cards to see:
- Emails Sent: 2 need approval (external communication, executive escalation), 1 auto-sent (internal notification)
- Meetings Scheduled: 1 needs approval (pulling 6 executives into emergency meeting), 2 auto-scheduled (internal coordination)
- Tickets, Database, Slack: All auto-executed (low-risk observation actions)
This is the pattern: Trust the agent with observation (logging, alerting, tracking), require approval for action (external communication, resource commitments).
