Embedded capability.
WHERE IT APPEARS
Office and document software Email clients Design tools Development environments Spreadsheets Customer systems
WHY THIS MATTERS MORE THAN SEPARATE TOOLS
Capability where you are working gets used. A separate tool you must open does not.
WHAT TO CHECK
What data it accesses Whether that is permitted in your organisation Whether it is enabled by default
THAT LAST POINT
Features are frequently enabled without announcement. Check what is running.
FOR BUSINESS USE
Establish whether embedded AI features process data in ways your obligations permit.
Particularly for tools handling customer information.
WHAT TO BE CAREFUL WITH
Features that send document contents to a service Automatic suggestions that could leak information Anything enabled across an organisation without assessment
THE PRACTICAL ADVANTAGE
Lower friction, so it actually gets used.
THE PRACTICAL RISK
Lower visibility, so nobody assessed what it does.
