What Is The Prompt Factory?
The Prompt Factory is our suite of AI education resources: a weekly newsletter with practical insights, an all-in-one AI app for seamless model access, and structured training programmes for every skill level, together with exec briefings to inform and set the strategy.
Built by practitioners building production AI systems daily, we share honest, real-world insights — what actually works, what doesn't, and why. Our way of giving back to the community that helped us grow.
All AIs in One Beautiful App
Coming soon: the native app that brings together every AI model you need in one seamless experience.
Why We're Building This
The subscription trap is real. Paying $20-75/month for AI tools you might not use? That's not sustainable or fair.
Context switching kills productivity.Five browser tabs open, copying conversations between ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini? There's a better way.
One-size-fits-all doesn't work.Different tasks need different models. Claude for writing, GPT for coding, Gemini for research — use the right tool for each job.
