+2. **Utility Functions**: Although the AI system is the decision-maker, it relies on **external utility functions**:
- - **Example Utility Functions**:
- - Reading inputs (e.g., getting Slack messages, reading emails)
- - Writing outputs (e.g., generating reports, sending emails)
- - External tool usage (e.g., calling LLMs, searching the web)

- - LLM-based tasks (e.g., summarizing text, analyzing sentiment). These tasks are **core internal functions** built on top of the utility functions and will be designed in step 3.
