| Approval model | Gemini is designed to ask for review and confirmation before sending communications, modifying data, making purchases, submitting web forms and signing in with Google, and it asks for confirmation before every task that involves web browsing. Google notes it can perform bulk actions on private Google Tasks without confirmation, and a schedule that runs while the user is offline may not be stoppable. | Auto Review evaluates tool calls and computer actions before they run, with user rules set to Ask first or Allow automatically; Ask first wins when both match. Before actions it cannot undo, such as sending, posting, buying or deleting, a Bot checks for approval; emails go out from draft cards and purchases show an Allow or Deny card. Running commands on the user's own computer defaults to Ask every time. |
