There are thousands of websites, chat-bots, mobile apps, and other interfaces for using all the different AI out there. It's all really exciting and powerful, but _it's not easy to integrate this functionality into our lives._ **Fabric was created to address this by creating and organizing the fundamental units of AI—the prompts themselves!** Fabric organizes prompts by real-world task, allowing people to create, collect, and organize their most important AI solutions in a single place for use in their favorite tools. And if you're command-line focused, you can use Fabric itself as the interface! ## Updates For a deep dive into Fabric and its internals, read the documentation in the [docs folder](https://github.com/danielmiessler/Fabric/tree/main/docs). There is also the extremely useful and regularly updated [DeepWiki](https://deepwiki.com/danielmiessler/Fabric) for Fabric.

## Changelog Fabric is evolving rapidly. Stay current with the latest features by reviewing the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md) for all recent changes. ## Philosophy > AI isn't a thing; it's a _magnifier_ of a thing. And that thing is **human creativity**. We believe the purpose of technology is to help humans flourish, so when we talk about AI we start with the **human** problems we want to solve. ### Breaking problems into components Our approach is to break problems into individual pieces (see below) and then apply AI to them one at a time. See below for some examples. ### Too many prompts Prompts are good for this, but the biggest challenge I faced in 2023——which still exists today—is **the sheer number of AI prompts out there**. We all have prompts that are useful, but it's hard to discover new ones, know if they are good or not, _and manage different versions of the ones we like_. One of `fabric`'s primary features is helping people collect and integrate prompts, which we call _Patterns_, into various parts of their lives. Fabric has Patterns for all sorts of life and work activities, including: - Extracting the most interesting parts of YouTube videos and podcasts - Writing an essay in your own voice with just an idea as an input - Summarizing opaque academic papers - Creating perfectly matched AI art prompts for a piece of writing - Rating the quality of content to see if you want to read/watch the whole thing - Getting summaries of long, boring content - Explaining code to you - Turning bad documentation into usable documentation - Creating social media posts from any content input - And a million more… ## Installation ### One-Line Install (Recommended) **Unix/Linux/macOS:** ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielmiessler/fabric/main/scripts/installer/install.sh | bash ``` **Windows Powe
