Agent Gatekeeper
A safety layer that sits between your AI agents and the real world — every email send, purchase, or post gets a one-tap approval on your phone before it goes out, with a plain-English summary of what the agent wants to do and why.
Operations managers and executives delegating real tasks to AI agents who need a clean human-in-the-loop checkpoint
- Lock-screen approval cards with a one-sentence summary of each agent action
- Risk scoring that auto-approves low-risk reads but always surfaces writes, sends, and payments
- Audit log of every approved and denied action with the agent's reasoning, exportable to compliance tools
- Time-out rules: if you do not respond in five minutes, the agent pauses and reports what it wanted to do
Always-on AI agents are shipping into business workflows, and the missing piece — a frictionless human checkpoint on a phone — is exactly the gap Pushary exposes.
Real traction: Pushary is live on Product Hunt for the exact same 'approve AI agent actions from phone' use case, OpenAI Agents SDK ships native HITL approval primitives, Microsoft Azure has an HITL framework, and Permit.io publishes a dedicated HITL guide — the category is being actively validated by incumbents and startups alike.Pushary: Get push notifications when your AI agent finishes | Product Hunt ↗Human-in-the-Loop for AI Agents: Best Practices, Frameworks, Use Cases ... ↗
Very crowded: Pushary is a near-clone (phone approvals, MCP support, audit trail, per-tool policy), TofuLoop is an HITL approval platform, and OpenAI/Microsoft ship HITL as a first-class primitive in their agent SDKs — a standalone 'gatekeeper' product has to find a clear wedge.Pushary: Approve Your AI Agents From Your Phone ↗TofuLoop — Human-in-the-Loop Approval Platform ↗
Proven willingness to pay: Pushary lists tiered plans (Agent, Agent Pro, Team with shared audit trail and 365-day history, plus an enterprise 'embed in your product' API), and approval-workflow software commonly runs $30–$200/user/month per third-party pricing guides.Pricing | Pushary ↗Approval Workflow Software Pricing Guide 2026 ↗
Durable: AI agents shipping into business workflows is a multi-year shift, HITL/approval is a regulatory-grade requirement (EU AI Act-style oversight), and audit trails are table-stakes for any high-stakes deployment — unlikely to be obsoleted.Using function tools with human in the loop approvals ↗
Technically buildable (MCP + mobile push + webhook approval is straightforward), but competing head-on with Pushary's already-shipped mobile-first approval flow plus OpenAI/Microsoft baked-in primitives makes differentiation hard without deep vertical focus.Pushary Documentation ↗Human-in-the-loop - OpenAI Agents SDK ↗
