An assistant that executes — but stops at the right points

The difference between a helpful and a dangerous AI assistant is where the approval gates sit.

Anything that reaches the outside world or creates a commitment is shown to a human first. That keeps the speed of an agent without giving up control — and it is exactly these built-in approvals that make a solution AI-Act-conform.
