What Founders Say

#responsible AI | #entrepreneurship essentials | #build products people actually want | #deeply understand the problem |

Prof Hasson's approach enabled me to convert my frustration with the terrible impact of AI data centers into Promptly, a product that helps users prompt more responsibly AND effectively. A few months ago it was just an idea. Now it's up on the Chrome store!
