Coming later
Planned, not built yet:
- Simpler access levels: Chat, See, Assist and Full. The plan is to pick a level during setup and change it any time. Lowering a level would apply at once; raising one would need an on-screen confirmation, never a voice command or page text alone. Sending, buying, deleting, passwords, security settings, installing software and sharing files outside the computer would need your confirmation at every level. Today there are the two settings in Machine access.
- Sending and drafting email in Gmail.
