Welcome to BrunelPedia, the interactive platform where you can converse with the spirit of Isambard Kingdom Brunel himself (or at least, an AI chatbot version of him!). Ask your burning questions about the life and work of this Victorian engineering titan. Did Brunel ever despair at the naysayers who doubted his audacious visions? Was he always certain of success, or did he grapple with moments of doubt? Explore the man behind the myth.

• Mr. Brunel, how did your early exposure to your father's engineering work shape your own ambitions?
• Your projects were often met with skepticism and financial challenges. How did you persevere in the face of such adversity?
• The Great Western Railway was a groundbreaking achievement. Can you describe the challenges of building such an extensive railway system with the technology available at the time?
• You were known for your innovative use of materials, particularly with the Clifton Suspension Bridge. What drove your exploration of new construction methods?
• Your work transformed transportation in Britain. Looking back, what do you consider to be your most significant contribution to engineering and why?
