Important Considerations
Section titled “Important Considerations”Privacy & Security
Section titled “Privacy & Security”- Never share sensitive data (passwords, financial info, personal IDs) in cloud AI conversations
- Local models (Ollama, LM Studio) keep all data on your computer
- Review AI output before sending emails, posting content, or making decisions
- Be aware of prompt injection. If your agent processes input from others, malicious instructions could be hidden in that input.
Ethical Use
Section titled “Ethical Use”- Be transparent. Let people know when content is AI-generated, if appropriate.
- Verify facts. AI can generate incorrect information (hallucinations).
- Respect copyright. Don’t use AI to replicate others’ work.
- Consider impact. Think about how your agents affect others.
Limitations
Section titled “Limitations”- AI agents work best for structured, repeatable tasks
- They are not a replacement for professional advice (legal, medical, financial)
- Output quality depends on prompt quality, so invest time in crafting good prompts.
- Free tiers have usage limits. Plan accordingly for business use.
