When not to use an AI agent

Honest limits: tasks where an AI agent is slow, risky or simply the wrong tool.

When one click is faster

If you know exactly where to click, do it yourself. Agents shine with many steps, not one.

When the stakes are high

Medical, legal and financial decisions need professionals. Use AI to understand, not to decide.

When a site forbids automation

Respect site rules. Don’t use agents for mass messaging, scraping against terms or anything that looks like spam.

When the page is mostly visual

Canvas-based editors, maps and games are hard to read as text. The assistant can still help with words you paste in.

When you need certainty

AI can be wrong. For anything you can’t afford to get wrong, check the source.
