I build tools for developers who take their craft seriously. PromptVault started as a personal problem — prompts I wrote disappeared. I got tired of that and built the solution.

The Story
Why I built
PromptVault.

Every developer I know who uses AI tools daily has the same invisible problem. You write a prompt that works perfectly — the AI does exactly what you needed. You close the tab. Next week, same problem comes up. You spend twenty minutes trying to remember what you wrote. You give up and write something worse from scratch.

PromptVault started because I was losing my best prompts in endless ChatGPT histories. The first version was just a place to store text. But as AI evolved, the problem changed. It wasn't just about saving prompts anymore—it was about structuring them perfectly for different models, tracking their performance objectively, and having them instantly available in any text field across the web.

“It wasn't just about saving prompts anymore—it was about structuring them perfectly for different models.”

The Stack

  • Frontend: Built with Next.js 14, Tailwind, and Framer Motion for a fluid, dynamic UI.
  • Data Layer: Local-first architecture using IndexedDB (dexie.js) for instantaneous access.
  • Backend & Cloud: Auth and cloud-sync powered by Supabase.
  • AI Routing: AI features routed through OpenRouter for maximum model flexibility without lock-in.

WILxAI is the brand behind PromptVault. It's how I build in public — on YouTube, on X, on Instagram, on TikTok, on Dev.to. Every tool I build starts as a problem I had. PromptVault is the first one I decided to make available to other developers. I hope it saves you the same frustration it saved me.

The Brand

Building at the intersection of development and AI.

WILxAI is where I document building with AI tools — tutorials, projects, and real products I ship and make public. If you're a developer who wants to build better and faster with AI, this is the community for you.

Principles

How I build.

Privacy is not a feature.
PromptVault stores your data on your device by default. Not because it's easier to build — it's significantly harder. But because developers deserve tools that respect their work.
AI enhances. It never gates.
Every single feature in PromptVault works without an AI key configured. AI makes things better. It should never be the barrier to using a tool.
Details are the product.
The 60ms animation when a card copies. The typewriter in Vibe Mode. The quality ring filling to 87%. These aren't extra. They're the reason people come back.
