Autonomous mode

In plain language

The preview shows decisions and fixes proceeding without a person in each loop.

In a sentence

• The autonomous mode control in the simulation shows a possible future workflow.
• We did not count the autonomous mode preview as evidence of live operation.

Examples written for this glossary

Usage note

The published feature preview labels this mode as being built. Its simulation shows intended behavior; the controls there do not start or stop the real organization.

Not to be confused with

• Collaborative mode

  Collaborative mode is the page's stated present mode, with a human at consequential decisions. Autonomous mode is shown as a preview still under construction.

Why it matters
