How should Autopilot be configured?
Vyvern recommends gradually enabling automation as your organization becomes more familiar with workflow behavior, proposal quality, and approval processes.
While Autopilot can significantly reduce administrative workload, starting with more conservative settings typically provides safer and more accurate onboarding.
Recommended Settings for New Organizations
For newly onboarded organizations, we generally recommend:
Lower auto-approval priority thresholds
Compliance review enabled
Limited eligible workflow categories
Manual review for higher-risk proposals
This allows organizations to validate:
Workflow quality
Organizational targeting
AI understanding of the environment
Persona realism and workflow behavior
before enabling broader automation.
Suggested Approval Thresholds
A common onboarding configuration includes:
Auto-approving Low and Medium priority workflows
Requiring manual approval for High and Critical priority workflows
This helps organizations:
Reduce unnecessary risk early on
Maintain oversight of advanced workflows
Evaluate workflow behavior before expanding automation
Many organizations increase approval thresholds gradually over time.
Compliance Review Recommendations
Vyvern strongly recommends keeping Require compliance review enabled during initial deployment.
Compliance review helps prevent workflows from being approved when:
Additional organizational validation is required
Restricted workflow categories are involved
Organizational policies require oversight
Workflow behavior needs additional verification
This is especially important for MSP deployments managing multiple organizations.
Gradual Automation Rollout
Most organizations benefit from enabling Autopilot in stages rather than immediately automating all workflow approvals.
A common rollout approach includes:
Manual review of early workflows
Limited Autopilot approval thresholds
Expanding eligible workflow categories over time
Increasing approval levels after workflow quality has been validated
This approach helps improve:
Workflow safety
Organizational trust in automation
Proposal quality validation
Long-term automation reliability
New Organization Review Period
For newly created organizations, Vyvern manually reviews the initial workflows generated by the AI before execution.
This additional review process helps ensure:
The AI understands the organization correctly
Workflow targets are valid
Platform restrictions are functioning properly
Generated workflows remain safe and realistic
During this period, some workflows may remain in a queued state pending review.
Recommended Workflow Categories for Automation
Organizations often begin by allowing Autopilot for:
Lower-risk awareness workflows
Information gathering workflows
Standard employee research proposals
Higher-risk workflow categories are often reviewed manually during onboarding and early deployment phases.
Long-Term Recommendations
After onboarding is complete, organizations may gradually:
Expand eligible workflow categories
Increase auto-approval priority thresholds
Reduce manual review requirements
Allow broader workflow automation
Vyvern recommends adjusting automation settings based on:
Organizational comfort level
Workflow quality
Employee awareness maturity
Compliance requirements
