Pitfalls to watch at work

Coda AI

Published Coda docs open for everyone who has the link: check access settings before sharing
An AI column fills all rows at once and overwrites old values after the instruction changes
Policies the AI wrote on its own need sign-off from the owner: the model adds rules the company does not have

DeepL

On the free version texts may be stored to improve the service: translate contracts and correspondence with details only on a paid plan
Legal terms are translated with a general dictionary: without a glossary "supplier" and "contractor" can swap midway through a document
Scanned PDFs without a text layer are translated with OCR errors, so run OCR first
