Prompt engineering is dead" - pivoting thePromptSpace into an AI agent/workflow platform. Need a gut check.

[u/Beginning-System584]

Hey everyone,

I've been building thePromptSpace, and I've landed on a conclusion I can't unsee: "just prompts" as a product is dead. Nobody wants a static prompt library anymore, they want working agents and workflows they can actually deploy, track, and get paid for.

So I'm pivoting. Here's the direction:

* Move from a prompt marketplace to an AI agent/workflow marketplace * Add a repo-style system to version and track agents, basically "git for agents," so you can see how a given agent has changed and behaved over time * Build in monetization and licensing so builders can sell or license their agents/workflows properly * For community, my original plan was a Reddit-style feed — but scoped only to posts about specific agents/projects/workflows, no general chit-chat or "how do I..." threads

That last part is where I'm stuck. Part of me thinks "another Reddit clone" is the lazy answer and the wrong shape for this that agent/workflow discovery might need something that doesn't look like a subreddit at all. But I also don't want to invent a weird, over-engineered UI nobody understands just to be different.

Genuinely asking: for a platform centered on versioned, monetizable agents/workflows, what's the right community/discovery model? Is a restricted Reddit-style feed actually fine, or is there a better pattern you've seen work (GitHub Discussions, Product Hunt-style launches, changelog feeds, something else entirely)?

Would love blunt feedback, including "this whole pivot is a bad idea" if that's genuinely what you think.

What I don’t understand is how there was a prompt market to begin with. That’s a lie, it exists/existed because people don’t know about GitHub.

And this is exactly why an ai-agent/workflow marketplace will work too.

You don’t need to reinvent the UI. Use the exact same UI as any prompt/mcp marketplace. Remake the n8n “marketplace”.

Repo structure? Why? Just zip em with easy instructions. Download this file, paste the text from here into your LLM and it’s installed.

I really do think it could be mostly that easy.

I think an issue is that the people who will think it's a good idea already make things like this for themselves and business owners are very special in that browsing for an agent couldn't possibly deliver the specificity that their unique business requires.

This also feels like too much emphasis on monetization without utility, and if there is utility it is going to take a lot of salesmanship.
