Pitfalls to watch at work

Copilot in Outlook

A thread summary misses attachments and late edits in quoted text: check amounts and dates in the email itself
The reply draft picks up the tone of the previous email, including a sharp one: reread before sending
A personal Copilot Pro subscription on a work mailbox takes company email outside its tenant: work mail needs a business license

Docsumo

Local-format delivery notes with non-standard layouts are recognized worse than English-language invoices: train the model on your own samples
Scans with stamps over the text produce errors in amounts: make review mandatory for amount and tax number fields
Documents are stored in the vendor's cloud: before signing, confirm the storage region and deletion period
