| ### 1. Time Window Constraints | |
| - Limited to 14-day window for event fetching | |
| - No historical event data available | |
| - Can't handle queries about past events | |
| - No long-term event planning capabilities | |
| ### 2. Search and Response Limitations | |
| - Basic semantic search without context awareness | |
| - Responses are template-based and lack conversational flow | |
| - No memory of previous interactions within the conversation | |
| - Limited understanding of complex queries | |
| - No handling of follow-up questions | |
| ### 3. Technical Constraints | |
| - Single RSS feed dependency | |
