- Testing on ATT exam papers showed strong performance, with the agent scoring 2.5 out of 3 marks, outperforming regular LLMs.
- Potential applications include contract-invoice cross-referencing and content library management, limited mainly by the terminal interface.
- Future developments include GUI-based solutions and broader use in professional services due to the low barrier to creating expert systems.
