The Autopilot approval workflow

When Autopilot runs, it produces a batch of agent output for you to review when you return. Here's how to work through it efficiently.

The approval banner

When you open the app after an Autopilot session, a yellow banner at the top of the screen shows:

🔔 7 agents completed work while you were away — Review now →

The number reflects everything that ran since your last review. Click Review now to open the approval queue.

Working through the queue

The queue shows a card for each completed agent run, in the order they executed. Each card has:

• Step name and agent type
• One-line summary of what the agent produced
• Confidence score (1–5 stars)
• Evidence items added (if any)
• Approve / Revise / Reject buttons

Reviewing efficiently

1. Scan the summary first — if the confidence score is 4–5 and the summary makes sense, approve quickly
2. Read the full output for anything related to a decision (competitor positioning, pricing assumptions, outreach strategy)
3. Flag anything with confidence 1–2 for a follow-up revision before moving on

Most Autopilot review sessions take 10–15 minutes. That's a reasonable trade for hours of background agent work.

Decision gates

Autopilot always stops at decision gates and waits for you. When a decision gate is next in the queue:

• All prior steps are shown for review
• The decision gate itself is shown last, with a Make your decision prompt
• After you approve or reject the preceding steps, the decision gate runs and shows its recommendation
• You choose: Continue, Pivot, or Stop

Once you decide, Autopilot resumes (if you chose Continue or Pivot) or stops (if you chose Stop).

What happens after you review

After you approve items:

• Approved artifacts are added to your evidence ledger
• Plan step statuses update to Done
• Autopilot immediately queues the next batch of steps (if enabled and credits are available)

After you reject items:

• The rejected step returns to Ready status
• Autopilot skips it in the current session (to avoid looping)
• You can re-run it manually, or it will be re-attempted in the next Autopilot session

Notification emails

Z2X sends you a summary email when Autopilot completes a session. The email contains:

• List of completed steps
• Highlights from each agent's output
• A link to the approval queue

Notification emails can be configured in your account settings.

Autopilot in the background

Autopilot runs even when the Z2X app is closed. The agents execute on Z2X's servers — you don't need to keep a browser tab open. This means:

• Start Autopilot before a meeting
• Come back an hour later to a full approval queue
• Review in one focused session

This is the designed use case for Autopilot: deep work sessions separated by focused review windows, rather than constant monitoring of individual agent runs.
