Delegate the work. Keep control.

A chat does not grant device access. A draft is not permission to send.
Specify accounts, data, recipients, and spending limits.

✳

“Handle everything” is not unlimited permission. Changes to accounts, data, recipients, spending, or risk may need new approval. CAPTCHAs, website restrictions, and tool errors can also pause a task.

Your computer

For the local work you specify

It must be connected, authorized, and available. Supported tools can operate the local files, apps, or browser you specify; access is not automatic.
