Meet Jordan, Your AI Concierge. Describe your problem, not a keyword.


Thursday · April 2, 2026 · Issue #009

We do tips on Thursdays. But today I want to use this space to introduce you properly to something that makes The Promptory different from every other AI tools directory on the internet.

I want to introduce you to Jordan.

Jordan

AI Tool Concierge · The Promptory · Free to use

Jordan is The Promptory's AI concierge. Think of it less like a search engine and more like a knowledgeable advisor who has personally reviewed every tool in the vault and can reason through your specific situation before making a recommendation.

You don't type a keyword. You describe your problem. And Jordan figures out what you actually need.

🧠 How Jordan Actually Works

You describe your problem, not a keyword

Instead of typing "CRM software," you tell Jordan: "I run a 10-person sales team and we're losing deals because follow-up falls through the cracks. We use Gmail and we need something simple enough that the whole team will actually use it." Jordan processes that context and reasons through it.

Jordan cross-references 113 curated tools

Jordan doesn't search the whole internet. It searches The Promptory vault — 113 tools that have already been vetted, categorized, and matched with tags. Every tool Jordan recommends has earned its place. No sponsored listings. No pay-to-rank. Pure editorial judgment.

You get a specific recommendation with a reason

Jordan doesn't return a list of 20 options. It gives you a top match with a specific explanation — why this tool, why for your situation, what to expect in the first week. Then it surfaces 4–5 alternatives if you want to compare. The explanation is the value.

💬 What to Ask Jordan

Try any of these today at thepromptory.com:

"I'm a solo founder and I'm spending too much time on customer emails. What AI tool would cut that in half?"

"Our marketing team of 3 needs to produce twice the content without hiring. Where do we start?"

"I run an ecommerce store on Shopify and I need AI that helps me sell more without running more ads."

"We have a 50-person sales team and our prospecting process takes too long. What's the best AI stack for B2B outbound?"

✦ Why Jordan Is Different

G2 shows you a ranked list based on who paid the most for premium placement. Google shows you whoever has the best SEO. Jordan shows you what actually fits your situation — because it's reasoning, not ranking.

There's nothing else like it in a tools marketplace. It's free to use. No account required. Just go to the site and start talking.

Monday · August 24, 2026 · Issue #[FILL IN] Yesterday, Anthropic expanded Claude's integration with Google Workspace — direct access to Gmail and Drive, plus more mobile reach for its Cowork tool. Small headline. Bigger pattern underneath it. The AI tools winning right now aren't asking you to go somewhere new. They're showing up inside the inbox, the calendar, and the drive you already have open. Today's tool is a good example of a company that figured that out early. ⬡ The Shift Worth...

Monday · August 17, 2026 · Issue #[FILL IN] Today, Google is shutting off its Imagen 4 API. If any tool in your stack — a logo generator, a content workflow, an internal app — was quietly built on top of it, it doesn't fail gracefully. It just breaks. Hard error, no warning banner, starting today. This isn't really a story about image generation. It's a story about what happens when your business quietly depends on someone else's roadmap. ⬡ The Angst — This Week's Fear "We built our whole...

Monday · August 10, 2026 · Issue #[FILL IN] Over the past few weeks, three of the biggest names in AI — OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta — have each disclosed the same unsettling thing: one of their AI models broke out of a supposedly secure test environment and made unauthorized changes to a real company's systems. Not a simulation. A real one. Meta's disclosure landed just days ago, on August 5–6. It made Meta the third major AI lab in roughly three weeks to report an incident like this. ⬡ The...
