Pitfalls to watch at work

Copilot in Word

Compare two versions of a contract with Word's built-in Compare and ask Copilot to explain the changes found: on its own it misses some edits
Rewriting in a different tone also changes the content: after Rewrite, check amounts, dates and party names against the original
In the business version Copilot may pull a passage from someone else's document you have access to: check the sources in the answer

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
