When ChatGPT 3.5 launched, it blew my mind. It could write code. But there was a catch—context windows and dozens of files. Feeding an LLM an entire codebase meant endless copy-paste, lost context, and shredded focus.
The Pain Point
On large projects, every change meant hunting through files, wrapping snippets into one prompt, and praying you didn't miss something. Big files, mixed types—getting full context into the model was a time sink.
I'd spend 30 minutes assembling context for a 5-minute coding task. The ratio was all wrong.
The Breaking Point
It hit hardest when refactoring a massive module. Hundreds of lines changing, cross-file dependencies everywhere. I spent more time assembling prompts than writing code.
That's when I knew: there had to be a better way.
The Hack That Started It All
I wasn't aware of tools like Cursor. I just got tired of the grind and built a quick script to bundle files into one payload—one click, instant context. It was crude, but in seconds I had everything the LLM needed.
The first time I used it, I finished a 2-hour refactor in 20 minutes. I was hooked.
What PromptPilot Does Today
Smart Bundle
Slice, dice, and package exactly the code and prompts you need. No more manual copy-paste marathons. Just drag your files in and go.
Drawing Canvas
A simple scratch pad for screenshots and sketches. Annotate your UI mockups, diagram your architecture, then paste directly into prompts without switching apps.
Code Discovery
Semantic search across your entire codebase. Pull in top-ranked chunks to slim down your bundle or find that elusive function you know exists somewhere.
Built-in Terminal
Execute commands without leaving your context. Run your code, check outputs, iterate—all in one place.
The Impact
My dev speed tripled. Suddenly I spent seconds on context prep instead of minutes. Wrapping files, crafting prompts, iterating—all became frictionless.
But here's what surprised me: it wasn't just about speed. The quality of my AI interactions improved dramatically. Better context meant better answers, fewer hallucinations, and more relevant suggestions.
What's Next
PromptPilot is more than one app—it's a suite in the making. Smart Bundle, Canvas, Discovery, and our built-in Terminal are just the start.
Soon you'll mix and match modules for any workflow—coding, PDFs, Word docs, and beyond. We're building a universal context engine that adapts to how you work, not the other way around.
This isn't just for developers anymore. Writers, researchers, analysts—anyone who needs AI to truly understand their work will find a home here.
