That’s a good question. In such a situation, there is probably not a lot you can do except tell her she absolutely must/should hire a CTO.

Additionally, make sure you have an “insurance” in the form of a paper trail: Whenever she says to come up with feature XYZ, provide an estimate how long it takes in written form. Later on she cannot blame you guys for not having told her, you actually have proof. If you want, you could also do that as part of a an architecture decision document. That’s unusual as the document is not meant for that, but together with the architecture decisions you have a captured each and every rationale why you think building XYZ actually takes so and so long. When I manage projects with a moderate to high degree of complexity I typically add 20% - 40% overhead time to my high-level estimates for the “unknown unknowns”. I know that stakeholders typically don’t like that, but we all know that projects follow the 80/20 principle.

How does EverMail AI ensure responsible AI use?

At EverMail AI, we leverage cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) to craft fully customized emails using natural language. We prioritize ethical AI development, ensuring fairness and data privacy, while eliminating the need for fill-in-the-blank templates.

Aha. So much for answering the question on transparency and responsibility.

So, in essence you do webscraping on their personal LinkedIn profile and use an LLM to create a custom email.

What if I, as the recipient of the email, do not want you to scrape my data in the first place? Is there a way to object?
