Pitfalls to watch at work

Lavender

The score is tuned to English-language emails for the US market and is unreliable for other languages
The extension reads the mailbox it runs in: turn it off in a mailbox with confidential correspondence
A high score does not guarantee a reply: track your reply rate yourself

Notion AI

The AI answers from the whole workspace the user can access: pages with salaries or contracts shared by mistake end up in answers
Column auto-fill runs on every new record and uses quota, so turn it off on databases with thousands of rows
Keeping pages with employee personal data in a free workspace without a data processing agreement is risky
