Empromptu,<\/a>\u00a0an AI service that businesses can use to build AI applications.<\/p>\nEmpromptu claims all a user has to do is tell the platform\u2019s AI chatbot what they want \u2014 like a new classification app or a generative recommendation app \u2014 and the tool will go ahead and build it. It also provides LLM tools to help users if they want to fine-tune any results and lets companies add AI features to their own existing code bases.<\/p>\n
Leven doesn\u2019t consider it a vibe-coding platform, though she does look to compete with companies like Replit and Lovable.<\/p>\n
\u201cVibe coding is excellent for quick experiments, but Empromptu is what turns those experiments into real software,\u201d she said. Empromptu, she continued, \u201cturns ideas into production features with built-in evaluation, governance, and self-improvement. You ship to real customers, with real data and complete control. If vibe coding is the brainstorm, Empromptu is the build.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Tuesday,\u00a0the company\u00a0said it had raised $2 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Precursor Ventures.\u00a0Zeal Capital, Alumni Ventures, FoundersEdge, and South Loop also participated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leven said the fresh capital will be used for hiring staff and developing new proprietary technology. It also announced three new features, including the ability to create custom data models and infinite memory. <\/p>\n
The company is hoping to target businesses launching in regulated industries or \u201cdeeply complex\u201d areas that involve capturing data and creating applications \u2014 software that services hotels, for example.<\/p>\n
Overall, Leven hopes that founders feel their businesses can be transformed without having to learn the technical skills to take advantage of the AI revolution.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just like any other skill,\u201d Leven said. \u201cAnd the beauty of this skill is that AI can help you learn it along the way.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
