4. AI-Generated Content and Accuracy
4.1 Nature of AI Output
HeyEmil uses artificial intelligence to process information and generate responses, summaries, drafts, and recommendations. While we work to ensure high quality and accuracy:

- Emil is not a substitute for professional judgment. Do not rely on Emil's output as legal, financial, medical, or tax advice
- Human review is recommended for critical decisions. We strongly encourage you to review AI-generated content before acting on it, particularly for communications sent on your behalf, financial matters, and contractual or legal topics
4.2 No Guarantee of Accuracy
We do not warrant that Emil's output will be error-free, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose. You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of information and the appropriateness of actions before relying on them.
4.3 Sent Communications
When Emil sends emails or modifies calendar events on your behalf, those actions are taken under your authority. You are responsible for reviewing and approving communication templates and delegation boundaries during onboarding. You may adjust these boundaries at any time.
