What can it read?
Choose the records and details each task needs. Leave the rest out.
SECURITY, FROM THE START
Choose what your AI can read, what it can do, and when it must ask your team.
We agree the rules, AI services, and responsibilities for your specific solution.
Example only. Rules are agreed for your setup.
Agree what information the AI can use and which services can receive it. Test what happens when information is missing, permission is denied, or a service is unavailable.
Review the recipient, message, and facts before approving an action that needs a person’s decision. Other routine tasks can run within rules agreed in advance.
After launch, review activity, pause tasks when needed, and control access. The video uses fictional records to illustrate the process.
FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO DAILY USE
Start with one useful task. Agree the limits. Check it works before your team relies on it.
Start with your team and examples you approve, not access to everything.
A map of the work
Choose the information, AI services, and people involved.
An agreed access plan
Give access only to what the task needs. Allow reading without changes where possible.
Limited access
Use approved test data to check answers, mistakes, and requests the system must refuse.
A test record
Approve a limited set of tasks and people before expanding.
A launch checklist
Name who reviews activity, handles issues, and can turn off access.
An owner + review plan
BEFORE WE CONNECT
Four decisions to make before your AI uses business information.
Choose the records and details each task needs. Leave the rest out.
Agree which AI services receive information, what they may use it for, and what they keep.
Name who can read information, approve actions, and change the rules.
Agree what activity to record, who reviews it, and how to stop future actions.
BEFORE AI ACTS
Some tasks only prepare an answer. Others can run automatically. Important decisions can wait for your team.
Looking up a record does not allow the AI to change it.
Routine tasks can run automatically within the limits you set.
Actions that need approval wait for the person you choose.
The AI has drafted a follow-up for Casey. Edit it, review the message, then approve or decline.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Edits require a fresh review. This example stays in your browser and resets when you leave.
This is a practice example. In a real setup, the connected software checks permission before an action can run.
CHECK BEFORE LAUNCH. REVIEW AFTER.
Check what happens when information is missing, permission is denied, or a tool stops working.
Example checks for your project, not completed test results.
Discuss a test planNo system is risk-free. Keep reviewing how it works. Pausing does not undo actions already completed.
YOUR QUESTIONS
Here are the details to agree with your team before starting.
Read our website privacy policyNot always. An AI service may need selected information to complete a task. Before connecting it, we agree which information it can receive, where it is used, and whether copies are saved. Sending it somewhere else needs your review and approval.
Using information to answer a question is different from using it to train AI. We review each service’s terms and settings, including training use, where it handles data, and how long it keeps copies. The agreement must fit your setup; a general promise about AI is not enough.
The plan names the systems, records, tasks, and people involved. Where supported, your business controls the accounts and can remove access. We agree how to disconnect tools, remove staff access, and keep your records separate from other clients’ records.
Leave out information the task does not need. Use sample records or hide personal details for testing where practical. Check access, storage, backups, and encryption, which protects data while it is sent and stored, on the services chosen for your business.
A customer message or file is information to read, not permission to act. The connected software must check what is allowed. Test attempts to reach private records or trigger unapproved actions. When a simple rule can do the job, there is no need to ask AI to decide.
Plan for answers that show the records they used. Agree what to record about suggested actions, who approved them, and what actually happened. Decide who can see those records and how long they are kept. Activity records and backups need protection too.
Agree who to contact, how to report an issue, and how to pause affected tasks. Investigate, fix, and retest before restarting. Review changes to information, tools, and permissions. Pausing stops future work; it does not take back an email already sent.
Plan this before launch: turn off access, stop scheduled tasks, return the agreed records, and delete copies according to your agreement. Include AI services, activity records, and backups. Some copies may need to be kept for a set time or deleted on a different schedule.
