Home › Draft-first AI safety
Scared AI will email a customer something wrong?
The short answerNot if it's set up to draft, not send. A draft-first AI assistant writes the reply and leaves it in your drafts. You read it, change it if needed and press send yourself. The Gotts AI Set-up works this way, and one prompt pauses everything.
The worry
"What if it says something stupid?"
- A wrong price goes to a customer
- It replies to a scam email
- It agrees a date you can't make
- You lose track of what it's done
The outcome

- Drafts onlyReplies wait in your drafts folder. You send.
- Scam checksIt flags possible scams and fake invoices for you.
- Hidden instructionsIt ignores instructions hidden inside emails.
- Stop buttonOne prompt pauses everything. You can disconnect in a minute.
