Stay in control

Your helper does a lot on its own. Here's how you stop it, slow it down, and keep an eye on what it costs.

Stop, any time

While a task works, Send turns into Stop. There's a Stop in the task header and on the Activity card too, and Stop all when several tasks are working. Stopping keeps what's done.

Choose spending pauses

Settings → General → Usage → Pause to check spending is on by default: costly, long or repetitive work pauses with Keep going or Stop here. If you turn it off, work can use all available credits without those pauses or the daily safety cap. Purchases and other approvals still apply. See spending controls.

Protected actions need confirmation

Your request authorizes ordinary app work, including emails, invitations and edits. Payment and API-key operations still use an exact-action confirm card; those protected actions do not run until you confirm. Purchases through Link require your approval in Link.

Choose how careful it is

Settings → Permissions: Standard carries out requested work without extra confirmations, while payments and API keys stay protected. Careful also asks before reading your email and files. Locked down adds asks before using its computer or visiting websites. Your saved allowances affect which permission asks appear.

Watch the meter

Settings → General shows the month's usage and storage, and you get a note at 50% and 80%. Turn on Show estimated costs there to see what each task has cost. See Plans and usage.

Choose your AI privacy

Settings → General → AI data privacy decides which AI providers may handle your requests: Zero Data Retention, No Training or Unrestricted. See AI data privacy.
