TLDR
CowPilot is a mixed-initiative web-navigation framework where an agent proposes next steps while the user can pause, reject, override, or hand control back at any time. Across five websites, the collaborative mode reaches the highest success rate while requiring humans to perform only a small fraction of the total steps, and the system is also positioned as a data-collection and evaluation tool.
