Ways to add human review to an AI agent.

An agent needs a person at the decisions that matter. Here’s how the common options handle three things: answering live inside the agent’s workflow, knowing who the people are, and measuring their quality.

OptionAnswers live, inside the agentKnows who the people areMeasures their quality
Your own teamSlow to scale with agent volume, expensive per decision, and people get pulled from other work.Answers live, inside the agent: YesKnows who the people are: Your staffMeasures their quality: Trusted
Crowd marketplacesLarge workforce, but anonymous. Quality control and fraud checks are on you.Answers live, inside the agent: PartlyKnows who the people are: Anonymous workersMeasures their quality: Varies
Training data vendorsBuilt for batch projects that train models, not live decisions inside an agent.Answers live, inside the agent: NoKnows who the people are: Vetted expertsMeasures their quality: Strong
Another model as judgeFast and cheap, but it tends to miss the same cases as the agent it checks.Answers live, inside the agent: YesKnows who the people are: NobodyMeasures their quality: Shares blind spots
PluresBuilt for live agent decisions: ID checks, independent answers, consensus and a record of every decision.Answers live, inside the agent: One API callKnows who the people are: ID verified peopleMeasures their quality: Scored continuously

Questions

When is a model as judge enough?

For low stakes checks where the judge model has different strengths from the agent. For decisions that cost money or trust, an independent human check catches the cases models share blind spots on.

Can I use Plures alongside my own team?

Yes. Many teams send routine checks to Plures and keep their own staff for escalations. Use agreement to decide which answers act automatically and which go to your team.

How is Plures different from a crowd marketplace?

Every Plures verifier is ID verified and scored on hidden known answer tasks, answers are independent and reconciled by consensus, and results come back live to your agent by webhook.
