Of course, you need to be careful about what access you give to your agent. I gave my agent its own email, and I can forward it emails if I need it to read anything in my inbox.

Everyone will have their own threshold for what type of access they want to give their agent. some people will give it access to their personal email, bank account, etc, but I wouldn't recommend it yet! But I bet in a couple years this will be standard practice.

There’s a lot of humans I wouldn’t trust to be an assistant with access to my bank account. It’s bold to assume that within 2 years these things are going to be scam resistant.

It’s going to be bleak when there’s articles about how “my agent fell for a scam and now my life savings are gone”.
