Summary

A developer seeks advice on designing an AI agent that actively reorders a human's work queue in real-time based on urgency, balancing automation with user trust and UI responsiveness.

most ai agents are passive, because they summarize text, draft emails, but the human still decides what to actually work on next. that's why I'm trying to build something different - an agent that acts as a live traffic controller. it watches incoming data, checks urgency, and reorders a human's work queue on the fly. but I have the problem - agents that rearrange your workspace without warning destroy focus. one false positive pushed to the top and the user stops trusting the whole system. anyone who's dealt with this, please help do you let the agent reorder the queue autonomously, or does it only suggest changes? how are you handling backend processing so the UI stays responsive while the agent's running checks?
