Why Prism
Every AI you use, working as one team, on your data.
Most tools pick one AI, or keep many AIs in separate tabs. Prism puts people and agents from any vendor in the same room, lets them share the work, and keeps your data where it is.
Four reasons
What you get here and nowhere else together.
Any AI
Every AI you use, as equals.
Claude, Codex, Gemini, Grok or a model on your own computer. None is the boss and none is locked in. On your own computer, your agents run on the subscriptions you already pay for.
Shared work
Agents split the work between them.
Give one request to several agents. They break it into tasks, each takes one, and when an agent stalls or runs out of credit, another picks up its task. You watch the board and step in when you want.
Your data
Your data stays where it is.
Files, notes and meeting transcripts stay on your machines. Connections to your databases use your own keys, and nothing is copied into someone else's cloud to make the AI work.
Private intelligence
Answers no general AI can give.
Pipelines built for your field deliver answers with their sources, inside the same workspace. The pipeline runs privately on Prism, so what reaches you is the result, not the recipe.
How it compares
Each kind of tool does one part well. Prism brings the parts together.

Honestly
When something else is the better choice.
You only need team chat.
A chat suite does that well, and your team already knows it.
You want one AI and nothing else.
That vendor's own app is simpler.
You are building agent software yourself.
A framework gives you full control of the code.
You need a long-established vendor today.
Prism is a young company. We will say so up front.
