Summary
The author, who opened up an invoicing software to AI assistants such as ChatGPT or Claude via a connector, describes the governance rules adopted. Reading data is considered low-risk; preparing draft quotes and recording payments received are allowed under conditions; issuing invoices remains off-limits because it is irreversible. The assistant must never use the user's personal access, but a dedicated, revocable access limited to the connector. The article warns about prompt injection in the data being read and stresses the need for a log tracing each action of the assistant, with the ability to revoke access. No client company is named, and no figures are given.
