The Missing Link

I come from architecture and urban planning, designing systems that should have created leverage—transit networks, resource flows, development infrastructure. This work taught me how things should scale.

When I shifted to helping businesses automate and implement AI, I kept seeing the same gap everywhere. Businesses had the technology. They had the need. But they were missing the layer in between—the infrastructure for how to actually communicate with AI.

Developers spoke in functions. Clients spoke in outcomes. AI spoke in... whatever you prompted it to speak in. Nobody had a shared language. No protocols. No architecture.

The Infrastructure Layer

With generative AI becoming so essential, I stopped seeing AI as a tool and started seeing it as territory that needed architecture.

People were treating it like a magic search bar. Ask once, get disappointed, move on. They were standing in front of a transit system but couldn't read the map.

I realized: They don't need better AI. They need better infrastructure between them and AI. Prompts aren't requests—they're protocols. Communication architecture. The same thinking I used mapping resource flows in cities applied perfectly to designing how humans should interact with intelligence.

Building the System

@godofprompt became that infrastructure layer. Not a course. Not a tool. An intelligent system for how information should flow between human thinking and AI capability.

Same principles that prevented scope creep in urban development now prevent prompt failures. Same patterns that identified bottlenecks in city budgets now identify bottlenecks in AI workflows.

Turns out you don't need a bigger budget or better AI. You need someone who knows how to design the space between question and answer. That's AI architecture for me.
