    • Most people don't know how to ask good questions. They want to be fed good questions to click on.
    • Every chat-first product assumes the user will remember it exists, translate a vague need into language, and trust the system enough to try. That's the real cold start. A blank box asks you to think. Most people won't.
    • Micro-apps as pre-framed prompts collapse ambiguity. Framing the right question is the product.
