What is Pickaxe?
Pickaxe is a no-code platform for creating customised AI tools without programming knowledge. You build what's called a Pickaxe by feeding the system your own knowledge, data, and communication style, then enhance it with documents, websites, videos, and other content sources. The result is a sharable AI tool that reflects your expertise and approach. The platform is designed for creatives, consultants, and entrepreneurs who want to offer AI-powered services or tools to others. You can embed your Pickaxes on websites, share them directly, or monetise them. It's particularly useful if you have specialised knowledge you want to package as an interactive tool, or if you want to create AI assistants based on your own materials without writing code.
