Turn your AI chaos into organized, reusable recipes
Your best prompts are scattered across dozens of chats. Your confidential work can’t touch AI because of the security overhead. CRAFT Framework fixes both—with a system that organizes your AI workflows and keeps your data under your control.
| Version | Files | Setup Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRAFT Foundations | 5 | ~2 minutes | Learning CRAFT while using it |
| CRAFT Express | 5 | ~2 minutes | Quick tasks, no configuration |
| CRAFT Studio | 5 | 10-15 min | Defined projects with persistence |
Choosing Your CRAFT Version
CRAFT offers three distinct experiences — Foundations, Express, and Studio. Each provides access to the complete CRAFT capability set. The difference is in setup complexity and guidance level.
Key principle: Different approaches, same power. No version is “lesser” — each serves a specific need.
The Single Question That Decides
What matters most to you right now?
“I want to understand CRAFT while I use it” → CRAFT Foundations
“I want to start working immediately” → CRAFT Express
“I’m running a defined project over multiple sessions” → CRAFT Studio
