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

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
