How Is This Actually Free?
You build a form with fields (topic, tone, etc.)
You write a prompt template using those fields
Scaffold generates an optimized ChatGPT prompt
User sends it to ChatGPT (they control the AI interaction)
Why Scaffold Is Different
We don't call third-party LLM APIs for you. Instead, Scaffold generates optimized prompts that users send to their preferred LLM (e.g., ChatGPT). That means no per-request billing on our side and a simpler, privacy-friendly integration for many use cases.
✅ Free tier (3 apps, 5 tasks each) stays free forever. No credit card required.
Free Alternative to AI API Keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google)
What is Scaffold?
Scaffold is a lightweight toolkit for building AI-powered form-based tools and chatbots without hosting your own LLM. Instead of making backend LLM calls for you, Scaffold helps you design prompts, fields, and templates that your users can send to their chosen LLM. This reduces operational cost and simplifies security and privacy concerns for many use cases.
Key Benefits & Use Cases
- Rapid prototyping: build generators, email writers, or menu bots in minutes.
- Cost control: no per-request LLM billing through Scaffold.
- Privacy-friendly workflows: users control the AI interaction with their own accounts.
- Embeddable forms: drop a small iframe into any site and surface tailored prompts.
