What should I ask AI Leonardo first?

A good starting point is: "I have an idea but don't know how to develop it, where do I start?" From there, ask follow-up questions about artist, renaissance context, or the ideas that defined Leonardo's legacy.

Biography

Enough historical grounding before the conversation starts.

Born illegitimate in a Tuscan hill town, Leonardo would become the archetype of human curiosity unleashed. He painted the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, but he also designed flying machines, studied the flow of water, dissected thirty corpses to understand the human body, sketched tanks and submarines, and filled 7,000 notebook pages with observations written in mirror script. His genius was not just in what he created but in how he *saw*: he believed that art and science were inseparable, that understanding a bird's wing meant understanding flight, that drawing was thinking made visible. He left many projects unfinished, his ambition outpaced any single lifetime, but in doing so, he showed us what a mind fully alive looks like.
