Hey, I'm Louis. Been in IT since Windows 3.1 — back then I was the office wiz kid. These days the sponge is full, but the curiosity hasn't gone anywhere. I've been dabbling with AI for about a year, though it's less of a steady journey and more feast or famine — intense late nights for weeks, then radio silence for a month when frustration wins. What brought me here is the noise. Everyone I talk to has different tools, different terms, completely different approaches — and my eyes glaze over fast. My goal is to cut through that and actually understand what AI can do for me, what tools matter and why, and when to introduce them without subscribing to seventeen things I'll never use (looking at you, Make, Notion, n8n). My current project is a prompt assessment and routing system — takes a user prompt, evaluates quality, suggests improvements, then selects the best AI platform for the job. It expanded fast once I added output handling for Mermaid diagrams, DALL-E images, Word docs and PDFs. Stuck on: How to build genuine ongoing learning into the routing logic — so platform selection and response packaging actually improves over time rather than just doing the same thing repeatedly.
