I already did- I ask it to inform purchasing decisions and use it as a google to determine etf/bond allocations Do I need a custom app for this? No, claude in a csv + me looking over it works fine. Im not an avg consumer which I would

I should make this clear-forcing your kids into kumon so they can skip a grade is really shitty I know its happens, but optimizing for education goals in American is usuabbly a faux pax

Being frank I think its not enough to have a good looking app and have some llm calls Think about your competition for your market. When I want my child to really excel in learning, I would force them into kumon - so they can skip a grade.

What is being taught to 5 year olds? And why would an AI tutor be better than an pre-k learning app Most students are pretty homogeneous in learning at that stage

Being real, I have no idea. I can only say in my industry(entertainment) which i believe 80% of content consumed is by AI(think like ultra niche specialized content but for the majority of people). 20% will be by humans commanding a premium
