HITL functionality is valuable in large language model (LLM) workflows, where human-provided guidance can be essential for achieving better results.
It is also highly beneficial in enterprise data pipelines, where human validation can complement and enhance automated processes.

Human in the Loop (HITL) Operators
==================================

Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) operators enable workflows where task execution
can pause and wait for human input, approval, or intervention before
continuing.

These operators are part of the ``apache-airflow-providers-standard``
package and are intended for modeling approval steps or manual decision
points within automated pipelines.

Available HITL operators
------------------------

The Standard provider includes Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) operators.
For the complete and up-to-date list of available operators and their
parameters, refer to the Python API documentation:

`Python API reference <https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow-providers-standard/stable/_api/airflow/providers/standard/operators/hitl/index.html>`_

Usage guide
-----------

For an end-to-end guide on using HITL operators, including examples and
recommended patterns, see the HITL tutorial:

* `HITL tutorial <https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/tutorial/hitl.html>`_
