Responsible Automation Principles

Automation should reduce busywork, not replace personal agency. The safest approach is one where the user remains in control.

Consent and Control

• Use approval modes when testing new message styles.
• Keep personal boundaries explicit and consistent.
• Avoid high-risk scenarios where context is missing.

Privacy Boundaries

• Do not share sensitive personal information.
• Keep location details and schedules high level until trust is established.

Human Oversight

• Review any conversation that moves toward a date.
• Step in when tone or intent changes.

Automation works best when it is paired with human judgment and clear consent.
