Your system prompt took weeks to build. It contains your tone, your workflow logic, your competitive edge. Right now it’s sitting on OpenAI’s servers. In 2024, OmniGPT — a cloud AI aggregator — exposed 34 million lines of chat messages, system prompts included, in a single breach. The agencies whose prompts leaked didn’t know until … Read more
