Updates & Questions

While the agent is working, Overlord keeps humans in the loop through live updates and blocking questions.

What can stream into a ticket

As an agent works, tickets can receive:

  • session state updates
  • progress summaries
  • blocking questions
  • follow-up messages
  • final delivery events

Shared context

Overlord also supports ticket-specific shared context so useful facts can survive across sessions.

That helps when work pauses, resumes later, or moves between different agent runtimes.

Human-in-the-loop review

When the agent is blocked, it can ask a question directly in the ticket workflow. The user can respond in the ticket and keep the work moving without losing context.
