My First AI Prompt

I didn’t need code. I needed clarity.
Most people don’t even know what a fisher is. It’s not a bird. Not a woman holding a fly rod. It’s a wild predator – fast, silent, and one of the few animals in the Northeast that can kill and eat a porcupine.

I’ve trapped them. I’ve tracked them. I’ve found them dead – and not always with a clear reason why.
Not long ago, I typed my first serious AI prompt. I wasn’t trying to write code. I wasn’t chasing a startup.

I wanted to know: What’s actually killing the fisher in the Northeast? The answers were a mess. Some studies were incomplete. Others were overly confident. Rodenticide showed up in toxicology reports – but did it kill the animal, or was it a side note after a car strike?

I realized something important:
Good AI isn’t about better answers. It’s about sharper questions. That search changed everything. Now I’m building tools, systems, and frameworks to help field operators, local governments, and even creators ask better ones – the kind that don’t come from a dashboard or blog post.
