Chris Gomes Muffat Takes Aim at Common AI Problems and Offers Solutions with Promptify.com

Many enthusiastic users of generative AI tools probably had the same experiences with the given obstacles and restrictions these tools often have. They’ll lack new data. They won’t have nuance.

Chris Gomes Muffat has set out to build an AI tool that shatters that wall. A well-regarded presence in the cyber security field, Muffat has long been interested in AI and has decided to pivot his career entirely and tackle some of these issues with Promptify.com.

“My background is in B2B software, particularly with AI. I know how to build the product, make sales, and understand the B2B ecosystem well. That’s why I chose a B2B type of business. Promptify is new for me because it’s a B2C application,” he explains. “I’m using this project as a learning curve to understand how people use AI. I think there’s a lot of room for innovation to enhance the user experience, even with challenges.”

The first issue he wanted to address was the generative AI’s lack of current data. ChatGPT, for example, is infamous for its message about its last training data being in September 2021. This means the AI won’t know anything new happening beyond the information provided by the user or beyond the information provided within the same thread.

“The idea behind Promptify is to address some of these issues to make sure that the information from yesterday is available to the AI,” Muffat adds. “For instance, if you ask ChatGPT a broad question without much detail, it will respond immediately. However, due to the lack of details, the answer tends to be quite generic.”

The second issue Promptify.com addresses is the problem of non-determinism in LLMs. Large language models like GPT-4 often produce inconsistent outputs for the same prompts, making their performance unpredictable. This non-determinism limits their reliability for business use-cases that require tailored, consistent AI content. Promptify implements features like customizable templates, model selection, and prompt monitoring to add more user control and structure. This increases the determinism of LLM outputs, improving consistency and aligning the content with user needs. By making LLMs more deterministic, Promptify unlocks more applications that require reliable, predictable AI content generation.

Integrating AI tools with the latest data is essential, but it’s one of many tweaks that Muffat believes AI needs to resolve. Further examples include making the AI tool an engaging experience for all users and not just following a basic conversational matrix.

“GPT doesn’t ask follow-up questions. Ideally, it should say, ‘Before I answer, maybe I need more details about who you are.’ The goal is for the AI to request additional information from the user, refine the user’s question, and provide a more sophisticated response,” Muffat explains. “This allows the AI to create unique responses tailored to the individual user and consider the target audience of the content that has been produced.”

The Promptify API enables seamless integration of customized prompt templates into any application or website. Users can build chains of proven, deterministic prompts within Promptify’s interface and link them to external apps via the API. This provides those applications with access to structured prompts tailored to their specific content needs, ensuring reliable performance from integrated AI models. The API connectivity allows businesses to leverage Promptify’s deterministic templates anywhere, standardizing LLM usage across their tech stack for predictable results.

Muffat has already implemented some user interface enhancements that allow for a similar experience to Promptify.com. With it, users can choose the exact tone of the text they want to produce how impactful they want it to be, and include the necessary parameters to configure and fine-tune their text.

And when they’re done, they can get much more text than with other generative AI. “You can’t tell GPT to write 200 pages about some topic. It can only give you an answer at a maximum of about 4000 words,” Muffat explains. “So, with Promptify, you won’t have this problem. You will go online and say you want to write a novel of 200 pages.”

Throughout ventures like Promtify.com, he aims to shape AI into something that’s not only profoundly useful but also incredibly easy to use.
