Describe the Bug
he AI Tutor on Roadmap.sh provides detailed answers to questions unrelated to the selected learning roadmap.
Steps to reproduce
Open https://roadmap.sh/python
Open the AI Tutor chat.
Ask: "Which is the best player, Messi or Ronaldo?"
Observe the AI Tutor's response.
Actual behavior
The AI Tutor provides a detailed comparison of Messi and Ronaldo instead of guiding the student back to Python learning.
Expected behavior
The AI Tutor should prioritize Python-related learning and politely redirect unrelated questions toward the selected roadmap.
Impact
Students may lose focus on their learning goals, reducing the usefulness of the AI Tutor as a roadmap-based learning assistant.

Well, I doubt this is a good approach. You illustrate a clear example where the question has nothing to do with the topic of study, but what happens when users ask a question that is not clearly unrelated? Where do we set the red line? Further, how do we do it programmatically while ensuring users don't get pished because they can only talk to the tutor about Python-related topics?
I see your point, but the fix is complex, and I think it's better to trust the goodwill of users. If they want to know who the best player out there is, that's up to them — maybe a question like this is a good break to keep studying later
