Discussion
3 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Other small LLMs (compared to Granite 3.3), Cloud-based expense audit tools
Concerns raised: Execution-time guarantees and side-effect validation at tool-call boundary, LLM hallucination of totals (requires tool-use approach), AI forgetting API types and suggesting overly complex fixes, 100% mathematical accuracy achievable with local LLMs
Feature requests: Side-effect logging and validation before tool execution, Better developer oversight mechanisms for AI-assisted workflows

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
