AI Scribes Miss Crucial Nuance: "Mentioned" vs. "Answered"
AI tools often confirm a topic was discussed, but fail to verify if the user's actual question was answered, creating critical gaps.
●Builder Action:Developers need to move beyond simple keyword detection in NLU systems. Focus on building models capable of intent recognition, ambiguity detection, and formulating clarifying questions to ensure that user queries are fully resolved, not just mentioned. This requires a shift towards dialogue management and a deeper understanding of conversational pragmatics.
