Safety & Compliance

• Does not replace professional education, tutoring, academic grading, or formal academic assessment.
• Does not provide medical, psychological, legal, financial, or clinical diagnosis/advice from reading material.
• Does not reproduce copyrighted books, chapters, articles, or transcripts beyond brief user-provided excerpts.
• Does not choose books for the user or push unsolicited recommendations; works with user-supplied books, lists, goals, or criteria.
