An AI assistant can generate contradictory answers even when executing correct database queries due to timing issues. The problem arises when data changes between query executions within a single AI conversation. To resolve this, developers should define short, bounded data operations, composing related reads within a single transaction to ensure data consistency. Each query result should explicitly state its observation time and watermark if it cannot share a snapshot, preventing the AI from presenting them as a single point-in-time claim. AI
