Useful for code solutions, factual claims, and strategic recommendations. Ran uses this routinely: 'What's your confidence level in the solution you just created?' — the model often responds by catching its own errors.Conversation simulatorA Bonds feature where AI plays your partner so you can rehearse a hard talk and get scored feedback.
