Example #2:
Hikaru bot suggests the idea is to try the win the knight. NOPE!
The ACTUAL idea is to try to win the bishop. The knight is never even threatened at any part of the puzzle, and isn't even taken or under direct threat. In fact, black can choose to simply drop the bishop instead:

Example #3 (and I'll stop here as these three puzzles demonstrate the 'sage' advice from the coach bot):
In the puzzle, you in fact DO NOT win the knight, and even worse, white AFTER the puzzle stops can simply rescue the knight instead of the bishop, and it's equally losing. The difference between -4.8 and -5.0 doesn't mean anything to humans.

In many of these cases, the coach suggestion comes from a later move in the engine line.
I believe work is being done to minimize those types of occurrences.
Managed to capture a classic example of the coach giving misleading advice. In the position shown, the ACTUAL goal is to go up a bishop, not attempt to promote a pawn. Why? Because where the pawn lands in the ensuing tactics has NOTHING to do with it setting up for promotion. The king will capture it, but the puzzle ends before then.
