Empromptu, a new AI platform designed to let businesses build production-ready AI applications without deep technical expertise, has secured $2 million in pre-seed funding led by Precursor Ventures, with participation from Zeal Capital, Alumni Ventures, FoundersEdge, and South Loop. The company was founded by CodeSee creator Shanea Leven and AI researcher Sean Robinson, following Leven’s experience building enterprise software where reliability, security, and compliance remained core requirements even in the age of generative AI.
Empromptu allows users to describe the application they want — such as classification tools or recommendation engines — and automatically generates the software, while offering fine-tuning capabilities and integration with existing codebases. The platform is built for regulated and operationally complex industries, emphasizing governance, evaluation, and continuous improvement. New features unveiled alongside the funding include custom data model creation and expanded long-term memory capabilities.
The investment will support hiring and development of additional proprietary technology as Empromptu aims to help companies turn AI concepts into deployable, production-grade systems without needing specialized engineering skills.
