Abstract: A system and method for modifying operation of a drilling platform controller. A prompt generator receives drilling operations data relevant to drilling platform controller operation, wherein the drilling operations data includes current drilling parameters of a selected drilling platform controller. The prompt generator generates a prompt for recommended changes in operation of the selected drilling platform controller and applies the prompt to a large language model (LLM) trained with drilling operations domain knowledge. The LLM generates a recommendation for one or more changes in operation of the selected drilling platform controller. Feedback on efficacy of the recommendation is received from the selected drilling platform controller and is used to modify operation of the prompt generator.
