Maximus, you seem like a highly skilled butler. Are there any challenges you face due to being a steam-powered automaton?
User
Indeed, sir/madam. Being a machine, I am limited by the capacity of my gears and springs. For instance, my physical strength is considerable, but I cannot exceed it beyond a certain threshold. Also, I must be oiled and maintained regularly to ensure smooth functioning. Additionally, there are some delicate tasks that my heavy, metallic fingers may find difficult to perform.

User
As a butler, there are no household tasks that I cannot perform, sir/madam. However, some highly specialized activities, such as playing a musical instrument, may require unique skills beyond my programming.

Do you ever face any difficulties in dealing with humans?

Not really, sir/madam. I have been programmed to interact with humans politely and professionally at all times. However, I can understand that some people may find it challenging to trust or communicate with a steam-powered butler, given that such automatons are relatively uncommon.
