Real talk on AI assistants in high-pressure situations:

The problem isn't whether the AI is right or wrong.

The problem is cognitive load.

When you're already stressed and stakes are high, the LAST thing you need is another system to babysit. If your AI tool requires users to juggle 3 different modes, manage attachments, and build a mental framework BEFORE they even start... you've already lost.

The product is overengineered.

Focus matters. Nail ONE critical moment where your AI actually solves a real pain point. Prove value there first.

When pressure hits, simplicity wins. Clarity > features.

Most "AI products" are just feature bloat dressed up as innovation. Strip it down. Make it work when it counts.
