What is Prism Context Engine?

Prism Context Engine is an AI-powered context governance platform that eliminates “Context Pollution” — the phenomenon where AI coding assistants generate code that doesn’t match your project’s architecture, style, or patterns.

The Problem

Every AI coding assistant (Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Claude) has the same issue:


You: "Create a login form"
AI: *generates Bootstrap-looking component with inline styles*
You: "No, use our design system with glass morphism and cyan accents"
AI: *still doesn't quite get it*

Context Pollution happens when AI doesn’t understand:

Your design system rules
Your architectural patterns
Your naming conventions
Your error handling strategies
Your testing preferences

The Solution

Prism Context Engine captures your architectural decisions from video recordings and converts them into actionable context rules that AI assistants can follow.

How It Works

Step 1: Record Your Architecture

Screen record yourself explaining your project’s patterns, design system, and conventions. Just talk naturally — Prism handles the rest.

Step 2: AI Extracts Rules

Azure OpenAI analyzes your video transcript and automatically extracts:

Coding patterns and conventions
Design system rules
Component architecture decisions
Testing strategies

Step 3: Deploy to Your IDE

Export rules as .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, or connect via MCP (Model Context Protocol) for real-time sync.

Step 4: AI Follows Your Rules

Your AI assistant now understands your architecture. No more generic Bootstrap code.
