Why this topic matters
Most people connect AI to their email, calendar, and files first, then think about the risks later. An AI Chief of Staff can save you hours a week. It can also read every client email and send messages you never approved. The difference is one decision: what does each workflow need to see, remember, and change? This lesson gives you a quick method to make that call yourself, on your real work, before you build anything.
