The limit of free-form chat
An AI prototype can look convincing when the model gives one good answer. A product has to support repeated use, partial information, corrections, and review.
When decisions matter, users need to know what has been confirmed, what is still an assumption, and where the output came from. Structure gives the model response a place in the workflow.
Where the product work sits
Model choice matters, but it is usually not the whole design problem. The harder decisions are when to let the user explore, when to extract facts, and when to turn an answer into a saved artifact.
That is why I think useful AI systems need product and workflow design as much as prompt design.
