Here is the prompt transcript:


Tell the story of a pair of crime-fighting, mystery-solving, snail detectives. What is their backstory? Does it involve radioactive ooze? A strange genetic mutation in a lab? A weird biproduct of evolution? Where do they live? Are they part of a snail city or do they live among humans?

What is each snail’s personality like? What skills do they have? And how do they solve crime without having any arms or legs? What kinds of technology do they use? Who do the snails work for? Is there a super snail signal the agency uses to get their attention?

Do they have a human boss or a snail boss? How do the snails save the world? What kinds of cases do they handle? What kinds of villains do they face? Perhaps an arach-nemesis?

What do they do when they’re not on the case? Just hang around a garden?
Play some kind snail sport? Binge-watch snail TV or waste their time on snailchat? Go to snail dance parties? What is their theme song like? Quick to the crime but they might leave some slime. It’s the super snail detectives!

Now tell the story of a crime they solved.
