Build a rabbit-hole machine from your obsessions

Pick a few subjects you cannot stop talking about. Your agent finds the surprising connections and builds a little explorer you can keep getting lost in.

You get: An interactive map of interesting connectionsOriginal prompt · Not run-tested

Your copy-and-paste prompt

Replace the [brackets] with your details, then paste this into your assistant.

Build me a small rabbit-hole explorer around these interests: [three to five interests]. I already know [familiar basics] and want to avoid [topics or formats]. Here are optional favorite links: [links].

Find four surprising bridges between these interests. Each bridge needs a concrete subject and at least two accessible, credible source links that explain the connection. Prefer original projects, museum collections, creator writeups, research institutions or public archives. Open and check the sources. Separate documented connections from your creative interpretation; omit a bridge if you cannot support it. Limit the collection to twelve resources so the research actually ends.

Turn the result into a small local web explorer with an illustrated connection map, a surprise-me button and short cards explaining why each resource is worth opening. Offer a five-minute path and a deeper path. Mark anything requiring payment or a login and prefer open alternatives. Let me keep notes or mark discoveries visited, with a simple export if local storage is used.

Check navigation, source links and the surprise button. Return the page, editable source and the checked resource list. Do not scrape private accounts, create subscriptions or publish the page. The design should invite curiosity without an endless feed.
What the result could look like

Jazz, subway maps and mushroom networks

An illustrative explorer could connect musical improvisation, route diagrams and distributed networks through specific projects and research. The agent would need to verify each connection before it appeared in the map.

Illustrative example. This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation.

Make it more you

Build a two-person version from interests you and a friend share, or make every path end in a small thing you can draw, try or visit.
