System Prompts

Your system prompt is going to leak.

If you’re designing an agentic application in 2025, and you expect to see any amount of success, the system prompt will leak.

How then do you expect to guard your agentic application so that you can continue to make money?

Simple.

Don’t think about your system as a system prompt and model.

Think about it as a subscription to an expert.

You’re subscribing to a system prompt expert, who will curate the system prompt to do what you need, and you are paying for a stream of updates, not a one-time thing.

If you’re designing an AI application and this is not your mindset, you will get undercut by open source, and you won’t make money.
