Why StrayMark doesn't automate unsupervised
The trend is to delegate everything to AI. We take the opposite path, and we have technical reasons for it.

When people try an AI agent for the first time, the common reaction is excitement: the tool writes code, fixes bugs, moves on its own. The natural question that follows is «what if I let it work without me stepping in?».
It’s a reasonable question, and the short answer is that you can — but it rarely pays off. Not out of ideological distrust of the machine, but because of a concrete mismatch between two speeds.
The speed mismatch
AI generates decisions far faster than a human can review them with care. When you let it run alone, it’s not that it makes bad decisions all the time — it’s that it makes many decisions, and the few wrong ones get buried under the right ones before anyone sees them.
The problem isn’t the average quality of the decisions. It’s the impossibility of auditing them at the rate they’re produced.
StrayMark starts by accepting that mismatch instead of ignoring it. Rather than asking the human operator to approve or reject at machine speed, it reorganizes the work so decisions arrive grouped, with context, at moments where conscious review is possible.
