Make AI actually engage with user answers

- Add contextual AI responses that acknowledge and build on user answers
- Analyze user responses for topic-specific keywords and concepts
- Provide meaningful feedback that shows the AI is listening
- Add clutch/car mechanics specific responses for technical topics
- Enhance bird flight and sky color topic responses
- Generate appropriate responses based on answer length and quality
- Create natural conversation flow instead of robotic question sequence
- Make users feel heard and validated for their thinking process
