An electronic medical record system. It's got too many moving parts and they all have to unify.

I've had a lot of success in using LLMs in smaller tasks that I peal off myself, but it's largely due to having an existing architecture that makes sense. The times in which I've tried to let the agent loose to make architectural decisions, it tends to wildly-overcomplicate stuff (which I'm only able to recognize because it's a problem I suffer from too).

That's not to say those smaller tasks aren't useful or time-consuming. They're important, but I try to remove the critical assumptions that might need to be made.
