Pitfalls to watch at work

Coda AI

Published Coda docs open for everyone who has the link: check access settings before sharing

Policies the AI wrote on its own need sign-off from the owner: the model adds rules the company does not have

Gemini in Google Docs

Ask the model to take numbers only from the block you give and to write [CAUSE, confirm] where it wants to fill gaps: otherwise the explanation gets invented causes for variances
The panel can pull any Drive file by link: make sure data from unrelated matters does not end up in the document
After inserting a draft, check every figure against the source: the model rounds and flips signs without warning
