> I don't use LLMs much

Sorry to be so blunt, but it's not surprising that you aren't able to get much value from these tools, considering you don't use them much.

Getting value from LLMs / agents is a skill like any other. If you don't practice it deliberately, you will likely be bad at it. It would be a mistake to confuse lack of personal skill for lack of tool capability. But I see people make this mistake all the time.

Would be helpful if you pointed out what I did wrong :).

If it's "you didn't explain the problem clearly enough", then that aligns with my original comment.
