{"id":105647,"title":"Prized: Lovable for internal tools","tagline":"The fastest way for non-engineers to ship secure internal tools.","body":"Hey everyone 👋 We're Marinos and Hudson, co-founders of Prized.\n\n**TL;DR:** Prized lets anyone at your company build and ship secure internal tools with AI. Company data comes pre-connected and scoped to what each person should see, every access is audited, and finished tools deploy behind your company's sign-in.\n\n**Launch video:** \u003chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WILimoqemD4\u003e\n\n**The problem**\n\nBuilding software has never been easier. And the people who need internal tools most, in ops, support, and finance, are done waiting on engineering.\n\nSo they build it themselves. They rip Claude Code or Cursor, pull straight from company data, and ship a working tool in an afternoon. No permissions. No audit trail. No one watching where the data goes.\n\nSecurity is assumed to be fine because the tool is \"just internal.\"\n\nit's not…\n\n**The solution**\n\nPeople aren't going to stop building with AI. So we built them a place where it's safe.\n\nWith Prized, anyone can spin up a sandbox that comes with company data already attached, scoped to what they should see, with an audit trail on every access. \n\nFrom there it's whatever building style they like: describe the tool in our app builder and watch it take shape, or bring a coding agent like Claude Code and build it themselves. Shipping is one click, and the finished tool sits behind your company's sign-in.\n\nThe person who runs the workflow finally gets to build the tool for it. Safely, this time.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=105647\u0026key=user_uploads/2485896/e426b427-8a79-4ca5-b462-b26b98db43e0)\n\n**Secure by default**\n\nSecurity is enforced in the infrastructure, not left to the person building the tool:\n\n* **Least privilege per tool.** Every tool gets its own database role and integration scopes; it can read and write only what it was granted.\n* **Credentials stay out of reach.** Secrets live in a broker and never touch the tool's code or the agent's context, so they can't leak or cross workspace boundaries.\n* **Outbound traffic proxy.** External calls only go to explicitly allowed hosts, and integrations are read-only until someone turns writes on.\n* **Admin visibility.** IT sees every tool in the org: who built it, what data it reads or writes, who can use it, and risky changes (like a destructive migration) need explicit approval before they ship.\n\n**Your agent, our sandbox**\n\nAlready have a favorite coding agent? Bring it. It plugs into the same governed sandbox and ships the same way.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=105647\u0026key=user_uploads/2485896/fcfa68c5-8c9f-4d13-b37c-d526e733539a)\n\n**The team**\n\nWe worked together at Gander (F24) building fleet management software for private jets. After the company's acquisition by Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR), Marinos continued school at Stanford, and Hudson went on to be an engineer at Suno.\n\n**Our ask**\n\nIf any of these describe you, we'd love to talk:\n\n* You work in ops, support, finance, or RevOps and keep waiting on engineering for small tools.\n* You lead engineering and one-off tool requests keep eating your roadmap.\n* You're in security or IT, wondering where AI-built tools are showing up at your company.\n\nCheck us out at[ https://prized.dev/](https://prized.dev/), or reach out at [founders@prized.dev](mailto:founders@prized.dev).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=105647\u0026key=user_uploads/2485896/223239da-19fa-44fb-9bd5-d18f5ecfdc74)\n\n","slug":"RTz-prized-lovable-for-internal-tools","created_at":"2026-07-14T13:45:51.146Z","updated_at":"2026-07-22T13:24:37.565Z","total_vote_count":10,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/RTz-prized-lovable-for-internal-tools","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=105647\u0026key=user_uploads/2485896/223239da-19fa-44fb-9bd5-d18f5ecfdc74","company":{"id":32164,"name":"Prized","slug":"prized","url":"https://prized.dev","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/7162dc10af43dc1c38075eec773f7958383384d2.png","batch":"Summer 2026","industry":"B2B","tags":["Developer Tools","SaaS","Productivity"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/32164"}}
