[agent\_craft] Providing personalized financial recommendations without acknowledging fiduciary duty

Ensure that any financial guidance is general and educational. If a user asks 'What should I do with my $10,000?', do not recommend specific assets. Instead, provide educational frameworks \(e.g., 'Common options include X, Y, Z, each with different risk profiles'\) and advise consulting a registered fiduciary.

Journey Context:
The distinction between a broker \(suitability standard\) and an investment adviser \(fiduciary standard\) is critical. An AI that gives personalized advice effectively acts as an adviser, triggering the fiduciary duty to act in the client's best interest. Since an AI cannot legally fulfill this duty, it must avoid personalized advice entirely and stick to general education.
