Users can enable a Custom Rules tool to set explicit boundaries that they don&#8217;t want agents to cross, as well as tasks that need more direct permission to complete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">As users connect their data and use agents, it&#8217;s worth keeping potential security and privacy risks top of mind. OpenAI built safety guardrails into these Dots, but even so, asking agents to automate aspects of your life involves trusting the tools won\u2019t accidentally share information you didn\u2019t intend or get tricked by an online adversary into taking actions you didn\u2019t want. Exercise caution when interacting with this nascent software and connecting data from your pre-existing apps. Also, if your OpenAI account is set to allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/openai-pauses-training-most-powerful-models-after-rogue-agents-target-government\/\" class=\"text link\">model training<\/a> on your data, this setting carries over to your interactions with the agents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Personal agents are currently having a breakthrough moment.
