5 Questions to Ask Before Adopting AI Email Automation
Most vendors skip the hard questions. This checklist helps CPAs, mortgage professionals, and Georgia SMBs evaluate any AI email tool before signing — including ours.
What's inside
Two pages. No fluff. Covers the questions most vendors hope you don't ask — written for non-technical business owners, not IT departments.
- 1
Who reviews my emails before they go out?
Look for draft-first mode. You approve before anything sends.
- 2
Where does my email data live — and for how long?
For CPAs and mortgage pros, client confidentiality isn't optional.
- 3
What happens when the AI sends the wrong thing?
Every AI makes mistakes. The question is whether they're recoverable.
- 4
How does the system learn my communication style?
Generic chatbot vs. sounds-like-you — the difference is style calibration.
- 5
What's the real total cost — including your time?
Monthly fees are the smallest part. Factor in setup, training, and year-1 review hours.
Why we wrote this
We're an AI consulting firm, and these are the same questions we wish every prospect would ask us on the first call. Vendors who can't answer them clearly are hiding something — including us, if that's ever the case.
