Will an AI Accounts Payable Specialist act without my approval?
You decide how far it goes. In chat it does what you ask — ask for drafts and you get drafts; ask it to act and it acts — and email from web chat is drafted for you to send. Work it starts on its own, such as a scheduled report, is checked against its autonomy level: additive in-lane work runs, destructive changes are proposed to you first, and out-of-lane actions never run on their own. Every reply shows its steps.
