Pitfalls to watch at work
Gemini in Google Drive
- Gemini answers from the files the user can access: if folder rights are handed out broadly, an employee will see other people's payroll in an answer

- An answer drawn from several files may mix up contract versions: check the file date and name in the link
Humata
- A contract archive with parties and amounts in a third-party cloud needs a data processing agreement: without one, upload anonymized or public documents
- The limit is counted in pages and large scans burn through it fast: upload one file first and check the quality
- An answer across hundreds of documents may mix up terms from different contracts: check which file the highlighted passage comes from
