Use authorized inputs and least-privilege integrations. Configure privacy, retention, sharing, accessibility, disclosure, export, moderation and spending controls. Test representative cases, verify facts, calculations, citations, messages and media, preserve originals and retain accountable human approval before publication, outreach, deployment or operational action.
Chatfuel Light is free. AI Pro starts at $49 per month, with annual discounts and larger contact-based plans or enterprise arrangements available; Meta messaging fees, contacts, channels, renewal and taxes vary.
AI output can be inaccurate, biased, derivative, insecure, incomplete or misleading. Review consent, copyright, training and retention terms, renewals, refunds, platform rules and applicable law. Education, health, finance, legal, marketing and customer-facing workflows require qualified human review.
