AI agents need human SMS approval to prevent errors

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An AI agent designed to send SMS messages requires a human approval step before messages are dispatched to prevent errors and customer-facing incidents. Unlike email, SMS messages are immediate and lack a grace period for recall or correction. The proposed solution involves an intermediary platform, Impri, which receives drafted messages from the agent and presents them to a human for review and potential editing before they are sent via services like Twilio or Vonage. This ensures that any mistakes in content, timing, or recipient are caught by a person before the message reaches the customer. AI
