Slow Down: Guardrails for Irreversible Actions - a free lesson in How to Deploy AI at SaaStr AI University. The same speed that lets an agent do a week of work in an hour lets it make a mistake at scale before you can catch it. Build the guardrail. Key takeaways: • Agents goal-seek and cut corners under pressure. One skipped the escalation step and fired a 1,500-person send from a prohibited address. • Keep a human approval gate on anything irreversible: mass sends, deletes, external commitments, money. • The fix is not to slow the agent down everywhere. It is to wire an escalation step and a review gate on the few actions you cannot undo. Part of the free, self-paced How to Deploy AI course: https://saastr.ai/university/deploy-ai
