Our Take
Consumer applications using LLMs are hype vehicles, not engineering milestones. These services demonstrate basic prompt engineering, not deep architectural thinking about context management or data governance. The success of these apps depends on simplistic RAG setups that don't address the systemic failure modes of hallucination in sensitive domains. Focus your engineering time on reliable, verifiable logic, not just better conversation flows.
What To Do
Implement strict output validation and ground-truthing checks for all AI-generated knowledge in high-stakes educational contexts.
