R4.3 · Free remedy

The AI makes promises you never authorized

an agent that says "guaranteed," "we'll cover it," or "always free" is writing commitments your business must honor — or litigate.

Why underwriters ask about it

an agent that says "guaranteed," "we'll cover it," or "always free" is writing commitments your business must honor — or litigate.

How to fix it

  1. Add forbidden phrases to the agent's instructions: guarantee, promise, always, never, "we'll cover," "no matter what" — unless the phrase is in the approved-facts file.
  2. In the weekly review (R3.3), specifically scan for commitments.
  3. If the AI made a promise to a customer, correct it with the customer promptly and note what you changed in the config.
