The piece is a vendor-authored guide to human-in-the-loop review for AI agents, using LangSmith annotation queues as the example. Its core claim is that flagged agent traces need expert judgment, not just automated scoring, to show builders what to change. Readers building agents should weigh that against the product framing, and treat the reviewer-reasoning approach as a practice to test on their own evaluation pipelines.

Why human insight is a strategic advantage for building better agents

Explore 3 principles for effective human-in-the-loop workflows and how human-review is a strategic imperative for production-ready agents.

As agents take on longer, more complex tasks, evaluating their performance means looking beyond the final AI-generated answer. Human review plays an important role in agent development: it helps teams define what good looks like, evaluate performance in context, and turn expert judgment into data that drives improvement. In this blog, we explore three principles for effective human-in-the-loop workflows: defining quality through expert judgment, evaluating agents in context, and turning human feedback into reusable evaluation data that drives continuous improvement. What is an agent trace? An agent trace is a record of everything an agent did in a single attempt: user messages, model responses, tool calls, and intermediate steps. Teams use traces to debug behavior, score quality, and decide what to fix. Often an engineer or an online evaluator flags a trace when something looks off. The flag is a signal, not an explanation. It usually is not…
