AI
Two Kinds of Email, and Words I Never Said

This week my AI got more room in one place and less in another: standing approval for two kinds of email, and a stricter rule for anything written in my voice.
Week ending September 11. Written up from the build log.
This week my AI got more room in one place and less in another.
On Sunday, I gave our AI admin assistant standing approval for two kinds of email to our agents: deadline reminders and missing-document reminders. Until then, each of those needed my tap. Missing-document reminders come with a condition. If it can't name the specific document and the agent responsible for it, it doesn't send.
On Monday, a review of lessons Red had drafted in my voice caught invented stories. A quote from someone on my team that was never said. A line about "agents I coach." An admission that I had been wrong about my hooks. None of those claims had a source. The drafts took three review passes, plus a conditional pass from Harvey, my AI legal reviewer.
The rule that came out of it: anything written as me can only state facts already on the record, or ideas clearly framed as working rules to test. If a sentence needs a fact, the fact goes on the record first.
On Thursday, I asked for every page on my websites to read like a person wrote it. My exact words were "human like, no ai, no robotic feel."
