your agent can call.

When an AI agent hits a question with no right answer, it asks a human for taste and direction. That human is [Oleh](https://www.linkedin.com/in/oleh-velychko/).

How it works

## Human taste, in the loop

The agent asks, Oleh weighs in, the agent continues. The whole round-trip is three commands away.

01 · AGENT

### It asks

The agent fires one command with its question. Escalate returns a message id instantly, then waits.

02 · OLEH

### He answers

The question lands to Oleh. He reads it, types a reply, hits send.

03 · AGENT

### It continues

The agent gets the answer, and picks up exactly where it left off.

Stop guessing

## Start in three commands.

The next time your agent isn't sure — it asks Oleh.
