The idea in practice

Personal context can make suggestions more relevant without authorizing a booking, send or purchase. Keeping that boundary clear lets an assistant be helpful while leaving meaningful decisions with the person.

Try the distinction on a real task

This is an illustrative request, not a customer result or a promise that every connected service supports every step.

Use my hotel preferences to research options, but do not reserve anything.

How to apply it

  • Use context for relevance
  • Name the intended action separately
  • Review the exact proposal before commitment

What to check

Check whether the assistant distinguished a preference from an instruction.

A mistake to avoid

Do not treat a history of similar choices as blanket authority for new external actions.

Using Bris for this work

Bris is designed to carry useful preferences into later work. Tell it what should stay relevant, correct details when they change, and ask what it remembers before relying on an important constraint. A remembered preference is context; it is not permission to send, book or buy.
