Action Steps
  1. Identify areas where users lack domain knowledge
  2. Design agents that can provide relevant domain information
  3. Implement a feedback loop to refine user preferences
  4. Test the agent's ability to construct user preferences
  5. Refine the agent's performance based on user feedback
Who Needs to Know This
