The review should prove that a rule deserves autonomy.
Personal AI agents often start by asking before every meaningful action. That is healthy at first, especially when the agent is sending messages, opening browser sessions, booking appointments, or publishing pages. The problem arrives later, when the same approvals repeat so often that users stop reading carefully. A promoted-rule review turns that repetition into a structured decision.
Define the exact action the rule may skip.
The review should begin with a narrow sentence: when this context appears, the agent may take this action without asking, unless one of these exceptions appears. Anything broader is not a promoted rule; it is hidden delegation.
- Include action, channel, user, tool, and risk ceiling.
- Name the conditions that send the agent back to approval.
- Set a freshness window before the first automatic use.
Start where approvals already happen.
For many operators, the cleanest surface is a text message AI assistant because approvals, edits, and user corrections already appear in one thread.
Separate memory from permission.
Memory can personalize the proposal. Permission decides whether the proposal may execute.
Capture negative examples.
A review without near misses will overpromote rules. Include approvals that looked similar but required a human edit.
Require receipts.
Every skipped approval should leave a visible trace showing the rule, context, and outcome.
For browser agents
Use a computer use cache to preserve the state the rule relied on. A payment page, settings panel, or account dashboard can change meaning between sessions.
For website agents
In AI agent website building, reviews should govern when source links, deployment checks, and final publish steps can be skipped.
