Why We Built AI Tools
January 2, 2025
Our Journey
Here's a scene we kept seeing over and over: A marketing team member is crafting social posts using ChatGPT, while their colleague is using Claude for the same task but getting different results. The sales team is copying product specs directly into AI chats without any context about brand voice. Meanwhile, HR is nervous about using AI at all because they're unsure about data privacy. Sound familiar?
The Wild West of AI Usage
The rapid rise of AI has led to a peculiar situation in most companies. Everyone's using AI tools, but they're doing it in completely different ways:
Marketing teams individually pasting brand guidelines into ChatGPT every single time they write content
Customer support teams each maintaining their own "perfect prompts" in notepad files
Product teams getting inconsistent results because everyone's using different AI tools with different instructions
Teams accidentally sharing sensitive internal information through public AI interfaces
Knowledge getting scattered across personal AI chat histories instead of being shared with the team
The result? Duplicated effort, inconsistent outputs, and a lot of wasted time reinventing the wheel.
The Real Costs of Unstructured AI Usage
This chaotic approach was creating real problems:
Team members spending 15 minutes writing prompts for 5-minute tasks
Inconsistent brand voice because everyone was using different instructions
Important context and organizational knowledge staying trapped in personal chat histories
No way to leverage internal documents and knowledge bases effectively
Compliance teams struggling to track and control AI usage
Successful prompts and workflows not being shared across teams
Why We Built Tools
This is exactly why we built Tools. We wanted to help teams transform their scattered AI experiments into structured, reusable workflows that:
1. Capture Organizational Knowledge
Instead of everyone writing their own prompts and instructions, teams can create standardized Tools that incorporate:
Brand guidelines
Product information
Company policies
Best practices
Successful workflows
2. Make Success Repeatable
Once someone figures out the perfect way to generate a sales email or analyze customer feedback, they can turn it into a Tool that:
Has clear input fields for the variables that matter
Includes all necessary context and instructions
Can be used by anyone on the team
Delivers consistent results every time
3. Respect Business Boundaries
Tools provide a structured way to:
Control what information goes to AI models
Maintain data privacy
Ensure compliance
Track usage and results
Real World Impact
The difference is dramatic. Take a marketing team we work with:
Before: Each team member spent 10-15 minutes setting up context in ChatGPT for every piece of content
After: They fill out a few fields in a Tool that already has their brand voice, guidelines, and product details built in
Or a customer support team:
Before: Everyone had their own "best prompts" saved in different places
After: They share a set of Tools that incorporate their support policies, product details, and tone guidelines
What's Next
We're continuing to evolve Tools based on how teams actually work with AI. Our focus is on making it even easier to:
Turn successful workflows into reusable Tools
Share knowledge across teams
Maintain consistency while allowing for creativity
Track and improve results over time
The future of AI in business isn't about everyone individually chatting with AI models. It's about teams working together to create structured, reusable ways to leverage AI effectively.
