Pitfalls to watch at work
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
LanguageTool
- The extension sends text to the service's servers for checking: for documents with trade secrets check your company policy or use a corporate plan with processing in Europe
- Accounting and legal terminology is often flagged as an error: add the terms to your personal dictionary instead of accepting every correction
