## Direct answer
I built SudoChat as a practical Copilot Studio proof of concept to demonstrate how a controlled, evidence based AI assistant could answer questions about me without simply relying on the general knowledge of an LLM.

The system was designed around a curated knowledge base, retrieval and grounding, explicit limitations, and a user interface that makes the assistant's purpose clear. The objective was not to build a general chatbot. It was to build a bounded assistant that can answer a defined set of questions, show why those answers are supported, and avoid inventing claims when the evidence is insufficient.
