Why SkaFld Studio for Partner Organizations

Unlike traditional LMS or standalone AI tools, SkaFld Studio combines:

Structured curriculum - Not just tools, but guided skill development
Private AI workspace - Members keep using it after training completes
White-label ready - Your brand, your member pricing
SMB-optimized - Built for 2-50 employee businesses, not enterprise complexity

Market Gap

Most LMS platforms deliver content. Most AI tools provide features. SkaFld Studio delivers AI capability building—members leave with skills AND a production workspace.

Core Features

1. Private AI Workspace

Your own secure environment where:

All conversations are private to your organization
Documents you upload stay private
AI learns your business over time
Nothing is shared with other companies

2. Project Organization

Organize work by department or purpose:

Your SkaFld Studio
├── 📁 Marketing
│   ├── Brand content threads
│   ├── Social media planning
│   └── Campaign ideas
├── 📁 Operations
│   ├── Process documentation
│   ├── Training materials
│   └── Vendor communications
├── 📁 Sales
│   ├── Customer responses
│   ├── Proposal drafts
│   └── Competitive analysis
└── 📁 Finance
    ├── Report generation
    ├── Budget analysis
    └── Investor communications

3. Custom GPTs

Pre-configured AI assistants for specific tasks:

GPT Type	What It Does
Marketing Content	Writes in your brand voice
Process Documenter	Captures and formats SOPs
Customer Response	Drafts professional replies
Report Generator	Creates formatted reports
Meeting Summarizer	Extracts action items

4. Document Memory (RAG)

The system remembers everything you share:

What You Upload	How AI Uses It
Company overview	References in all responses
Product descriptions	Accurate product info
Brand guidelines	Consistent voice and style
Past proposals	Template for new ones
SOPs	Training and reference

What is RAG?

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) means the AI searches your documents to answer questions. It's not just using general knowledge—it's using YOUR business information.

5. Multiple AI Models

Choose the right model for each task:

Model	Best For	Speed	Cost
GPT-4	Complex analysis, creative writing	Slower	Higher
GPT-3.5	Quick tasks, simple questions	Faster	Lower
Claude	Long documents, nuanced content	Medium	Medium
Claude Instant	Basic tasks, fast turnaround	Fast	Low
