The story of SDL AI Studio
A build log. How the workspace came together, feature by feature, and the reasons behind each decision. Start at the top, or follow the line back to the beginning.
AI Personalities: make the assistant your own
The built-in roles are a starting point. Now you can create, edit, and save your own personas.
Read postThe Prompt Optimizer: sharpen a rough idea
Type a rough prompt, click once, and get a clearer, more effective version you can review before you use it.
Memory Timeline: what it remembers, by date
The assistant can remember facts about you and your work. Now you can see those memories laid out over time.
SDL Consensus: many models, one better answer
After several models answer the same question, combine their best points into a single, stronger response.
AI Score: an AI judge for AI answers
Let a model rate each answer from one to ten, with a short reason, so you can compare quality at a glance.
AI Workflow: chain prompts into a pipeline
Turn a repeatable job into a series of steps, where each step feeds the next, and run the whole chain at once.
What shipped in v1.1.0
A single release that added nine features across the multi-model toolkit, delivered as an automatic update.
The AI Router: the right model for each task
You should not have to pick a model for every message. The AI Router reads the task and sends it to the model that fits.
The Multi-Model Arena: compare models side by side
Ask the same question to several AI models at once and watch their answers stream in next to each other.
Bring your own key: GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok
Use the big cloud models without a second subscription. Add your own API key and pay only for what you use.
Agent Mode: when the assistant can use tools
Sometimes you want more than an answer. Agent Mode lets the assistant search the web, read files, and run code to finish a task.
The Prompt Library: reuse your best prompts
Stop rewriting the same prompt from scratch. Save it once, fill in the blanks, and reuse it forever.
AI Employees: specialist roles, ready to work
Instead of one generic assistant, SDL AI Studio ships with focused roles like Researcher, Developer, and Copywriter.
Own it once: how we think about price
A free tier that actually works, one fair price for the full workspace, and no surprise renewal a year from now.
Local by default: what that actually means
Local-first is easy to say and easy to fake. Here is what it means in SDL AI Studio, and where the cloud fits in.
Why we built SDL AI Studio
It started with two problems every small business runs into with AI: the bill grows with your people, and your work lives on someone else's servers.
