Choosing ai email & communication
Will an AI email tool send messages on my behalf?+
Most draft and let you approve; some can auto-send follow-ups. Keep sending under explicit approval until you trust the drafts, and review any automation that touches customers.
Is my inbox used for training?+
Read the data terms. Reputable tools separate your account data from model training and let organisations opt out; confirm this before connecting a work mailbox.
