Built for the plants we grew up around. Promptable was started in Sheffield — a city that still makes things. The problem we kept seeing wasn't a technology problem. The knowledge that makes a factory work lives in people's heads. When they retire, it walks out the door. We're building the system that catches it before it leaves.The knowledge that makes a factory work lives in people's heads. We built the system that catches it before it leaves.
Who's pulling the strings. A technical founder and a commercial founder. Between us we've built drones, electric vehicles, AI tooling and enterprise software, advised founders and run board seats. We started Promptable because we think British manufacturing deserves better tools.Between us we've shipped AI systems, enterprise software and hardware.

How we make calls. Three things we keep coming back to. They shape what we build, what we say no to and how we talk to customers.Three things we keep coming back to.
We don't tell a plant manager about 'knowledge graphs' or 'embeddings'. We tell them what the system does for their team, in the words they already use. If you need a glossary to understand our product, we've failed.
Promptable is software. It does part of the job. The change management, the integration work, the audit prep — that's what the partner network is for. We don't pretend to be the whole answer, because pretending costs customers more in the long run.
We sell to quality managers and plant managers, not to venture analysts. Every feature has to earn its place against an ISO clause or a shop-floor workflow. If it only looks good in a demo, it comes out.
