The useful answer

Define how people review AI agents and automation after launch without manually repeating all of the work.

Supervision means checking whether a system stays inside its approved job as real customers and business conditions change. The owner needs visible exceptions, a review sample, a way to correct source information, controlled changes, and a clear person responsible for incidents, quality decisions, and escalation.

A system is launched and then treated as finished, even though offers, staff, calendars, customer questions, integrations, and exception patterns continue to change.
