# 04 — What you can't do (and what you can)
Part 4 of 7 · ← A nano in insurance · Index · Next → AI risks
Can
- Describe products in plain language, with sources.
- Compare products neutrally.
- Answer factual questions ("what does civil liability cover?").
- Show an indicative estimate — clearly labeled.
- Connect the user to a human advisor (booking button).
- Log interactions for later audit.
Cannot
- Recommend a specific product to a specific user (= regulated advice).
- Say "you are covered" or "guaranteed" without an insurer's warranty.
- Show a binding price without the full pre-contractual documents.
- Handle payment card numbers, health records, or ID documents (unless architected for that from day one).
- Replace a human for binding, signing, or cancellations.
- Sell digital goods, subscriptions, credits, or crypto (OpenAI platform rule).
If your idea falls in "Cannot," reshape it before writing any code.
