I feel like there could be way more of that kind of thing - LLMs backed by a database of info or accurate tools.

e.g. At the risk of massively oversimplifying a complex issue, LLMs are bad at maths; couldn’t we have them use the calculator?

LLM tools do exactly that. That's why most online LLMs (openai, gemini) have access to sandboxed python for calculations.
