Fin announced Fin 4 at Pioneer on October 7. Its Skills let a support agent choose how to investigate a problem from supplied goals, tools and guardrails, instead of following a fixed Procedure. The release also introduces new ways for agents and human teammates to collaborate.
Vendor-reportedChecked: [launch]
The Skills guide requires contacting the account team for closed-beta access. Reporting and Human in the Loop within Skills are still listed as coming soon. Website-click and API triggers require an additional opt-in.

Separately, email Human in the Loop is available in open beta. Fin pauses replies below a configured confidence threshold and requests teammate input. However, when the configured Proceed after time expires without a response, it sends the original draft automatically. The email guide distinguishes this feature from the teammate/agent step inside Procedures.

Checked against sources
AI-assisted source check
AI-assisted checking read the dated launch and both complete implementation guides. No product testing, independent performance verification or human review was performed. Source screenshots were unavailable.
Source evidence
Original source excerpt. This shows what the source says; it does not establish product performance.
Once that time expires, Fin automatically sends its original draft to the customer.
What changes for users
Before piloting email review, test the no-response path and match the timeout to actual staffing. This setup is not a mandatory approval gate. Evaluate Skills separately: confirm access and decide how to measure the pilot while its reporting is unavailable.
