The premise
AI can compile the curatorial concept, conservation environment specs, and indemnity status into a loan request letter the lending registrar takes seriously.
What AI does well here
Lay out the exhibition concept and the requested object's role
Describe environmental and security conditions in standard terms
Reference indemnity coverage and crating expectations
What AI cannot do
Promise climate conditions the venue cannot meet
Decide on courier or crating arrangements
Replace registrar-to-registrar relationship work
End-of-lesson check
