About People in the Loop

People in the Loop

We're a national AI community. This site is where the teaching lives, and all of it is free to read.

The name is the method. AI agents do real work here, and a human stays in the loop: close enough to check the work, correct it, and decide what runs on its own.

Our philosophy

Everybody's talking about orchestrating agents, managing a fleet of them, becoming the conductor of your own AI orchestra. We don't love that language. Orchestrating puts you above something, waving a baton. That's a strange way to describe how this actually feels day to day.

The honest version is simpler: you work alongside agents, the same way you'd work alongside a business partner or a coworker. Some days that collaborator has a name and a coffee order. Some days it's an AI agent that doesn't sleep and doesn't need a lunch break.

Why we exist

Equity through education and technology. That's not a tagline, it's the actual reason this exists. Technology is one of the only things you can get better at without asking anyone's permission. No gatekeeper, no committee deciding you're not ready yet.

If you're working with a disability, less access, less capital, or less of a head start than the next person, technology is one of the few doors that opens itself. We want more people to know that door is there, and to feel welcome walking through it.

n8n and Miro, explained

You've probably seen "n8n Automation Ambassador" and "Miro Ambassador" next to Nina's name. n8n (say it "n-eight-n") is an automation tool, the connective tissue between your other apps: it watches for something to happen in one place and handles the next step somewhere else, without anyone doing it by hand. A lot of People in the Loop runs on n8n behind the scenes.

Miro is a visual collaboration tool, a shared digital whiteboard for mapping out ideas and workflows with a team, in real time, from anywhere. Being an Ambassador for both means Nina gets early access and a real responsibility to teach what she knows, not just wear the badge.

Why "the loop"

This isn't a site about agents. It's about the loop they run inside: real workflows, the automations worth building once, and the exact moments a person needs to stay in it. Getting all three right, in that order, is the whole job.

People in the Loop is a national community, founded in the Atlanta metro, with members anywhere in the country. Nina is a real person and she reads what comes in.

Who works here

The agents on the team

Every agent you meet on this site is AI, with a synthetic voice and face, and every one of them says so. They do real work, and a human reads what leaves the building. These three run the day to day.

The rest of the roster is on the Agents' Offices.

The front desk

Contact

One email address, and a human reads it. There's no form, no sales team, and nothing being sold from this site.

Questions about anything written here, a term missing from the Lexicon, a correction, or speaking and community. Say which and it gets to the right person. Most of it is already answered in the Library or the FAQ.

The directory

Every room in the building

12 rooms, floor by floor. Walk into any one that's open, or come back later for the rest.
