What your AI assistant can do in Reel-E

Every action runs as you, on your listings, with your plan's limits. Each tool is one of three kinds.

Kind	Tools	What it means
Read	23	Looks at your account and changes nothing.
Write	40	Changes your video or listing. Every change has an Undo.
Sensitive	14	Uses a credit, publishes something or starts a new listing. Reel-E holds it for your yes unless you gave the connection that permission.

A tool that both reads and changes things counts as a write. Sensitive tools ask every time: Reel-E holds the request for your yes in Reel-E, unless you gave that connection the credits or publish permission when you connected it. Connect your assistant with the guides.

You stay in control

You decide what the assistant may do. On the sign-in screen, choose Full control, where it does the whole job without stopping, or Ask me first, where anything that uses a credit, publishes your website or starts a new listing waits for your yes in Reel-E. You can pick which listings it can reach. You can disconnect any time in Reel-E under Account settings, Profile, Connected apps, and the connection stops at once. Reel-E only shares what the assistant needs to do what you asked, and your assistant's maker handles it under their own terms.

Stuck? Email support@reel-e.ai and tell us which assistant you use.
