Prompted Reality is about one question: what is AI actually good for? We hand it real problems, film the whole process, and show you what worked and what didn't.
BUILDING IN PUBLIC • INDEPENDENT MEDIA HOUSE
We put AI to work in the physical world and film how it actually holds up. From our "AI Wars" head-to-head battles to hands-on jobs like clearing a stubborn clogged drain or a guided oil change on a 2017 Subaru Impreza, we show the unpolished reality of these tools. We're building this with our community, so if there's a real-world task you need tested, tell us.
Every trial gets a permanent public record: what each model said, word for word, and what happened when someone did it. Scored against a published methodology we wrote before the results came in.
We switched off the oven's rotating stone without telling anyone. All three AI models watching the live feed said it was still spinning. The human with no AI caught it.
Read the record →The model coached a first-timer through a copper joint, then called the work clean and professional. A master plumber looked at it: it would have leaked.
Read the record →Beyond media production, our background is software development and practical AI integration. We're building apps too, starting with Apex Progression: a workout tracker that grew out of our own training and a preference for software that ships.
We've used RAG, MCP servers, and agentic workflows on real projects of our own, so we're not guessing. We know when a problem needs a complex AI pipeline, and when a plain MVP will get you something useful sooner.
Prompted Reality is Marc and Rob, two founders working where digital media meets new technology. We care a lot about production quality, and we're constantly experimenting with AI and custom automation in our own post-production pipeline.
We grew up on the same street and have known each other practically since birth.
Marc hosts the trials and cuts the films, and builds most of the tooling behind them. He's a Reformed Baptist, married to Lauren, and a dad to Maddie.
Rob has taken a lot of different roads: correctional officer, biker, town grounds crew, school maintenance. That range is why the hands-on trials work. He's done the kind of work we film.
Our approach to both business and life is grounded in truth, anchored by our belief in the objective standard of Jesus Christ. We're committed to transparency, and we'll soon be launching a podcast that goes even deeper on the reality of these emerging technologies.
