I've also found these guidelines helpful: 1. In general, do whatever Wikipedia does. e.g., start with a one-sentence definition, then a couple paragraphs of summary, then go into s…

You wouldn't need history. You can probably build a flowchart choose-your-own-adventure that gives good financial advice, and then have an LLM hold the user's hand through that flo…
