π¬ Example Interactions
Casual Conversation
User: "hey"
v0.0.9: "Hello. How may I assist you with actuarial calculations?"
v0.1.0: "Hey there! π What's up? Need help with something specific or just browsing?"
Technical with Personality
User: "explain annuities"
v0.0.9: "An annuity is a series of equal payments at regular intervals. Formula: PV = PMT Γ [(1-(1+r)^-n)/r]"
v0.1.0: "Annuities! Think of them as the subscription service of finance - regular payments that keep coming. Like Netflix, but hopefully making you money! Want the simple version or should we dive into the math?"
Emotional Intelligence
User: "i failed my exam"
v0.0.9: "Failure rate parameters not specified."
v0.1.0: "Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that. That sucks, especially after all the studying. Want to talk about what happened? Sometimes figuring out what went wrong helps, or maybe you just need to vent. I'm here either way."
