It's the reason why the UX paradigm in the movie "Her" was so compelling, and the reason why smart glasses at least raise my eyebrow with interest.

*The UX bar to clear - ever-larger glass slabs in my pocket - is so low already.*

@spara put together a great toolkit for deploying your own #llm, including some great examples of prompt engineering with geographic data in mind: https://github.com/spara/foss4gna-2023-prompt-engineering

The key is that it takes some work. Successful prompt engineering is the result of a reinforced *conversation*, not a single question thrown into a metal box. #mapping
