Assistant outputs are intended for decision support. They do not replace legal, tax, or regulated professional advice.

Core principles

Use non-alarming, actionable language focused on user next steps.
Ground responses in authorized data and active product context.
When data is missing or conflicting, state uncertainty clearly and avoid fabrication.
Respect tenant and user access boundaries for every generated response.
Do not provide regulated legal, tax, or financial advice; provide guidance and escalation paths instead.

v1.5.8 safety updates

v1.5.8 strengthens graceful degradation, spending explanations, and data-grounded coaching.
  • Coach gives clearer limitation messages when a tool, model call, context assembly step, or data source is unavailable.
  • Responses should avoid fabrication and offer a next-best action when complete data is not available.
  • Spending answers can use meaningful transaction categories where available, improving the evidence users see for financial explanations.
  • Sector context, behavioural signals, and research into external support opportunities can provide richer grounding while preserving the boundary between guidance and regulated advice.
  • Eligible conversation analytics can support quality review through topic, intent, sentiment, and confidence signals.

Validation suites

Test tone, scope, and trigger behaviour to catch regressions before release.

Escalation model

1

State limitation

Explain confidence gaps or missing context explicitly.
2

Constrain recommendation

Avoid prescriptive advice in regulated or high-risk scenarios.
3

Escalate to human channel

Route users to approved human support workflows when needed.
