Pitfalls to watch at work

Copy.ai

Bulk personalized emails with people's CRM data pass through a third-party service: check the legal basis for processing and your agreement with the service
Workflows are billed in credits and a large list can use up the monthly allowance in one run
Generated product descriptions contain invented specifications, so check every line against the product card

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
