I found this really helpful. I've read a few different bits around this area, and being able to quickly click and scroll around this has confirmed my understanding of it now - thanks!
I thought it funny to think how this is all to give the impression to the user that the AI, for example, _knows_ the weather. The AI doesn't: it's just getting it from a weather API and wrapping some text around it.
Now, imagine being given a requirement 5 years ago like: "When the user asks, we need to be able to show them the weather from this API, and wrap some text around it". Imagine something like your diagram came back as the proposed the solution:| Not at all a criticism of any of your stuff, but it blows my mind how tech develops.
