OpenMark AI vs SkillForge

OpenMark AI is a web application for task-level LLM benchmarking. You describe what you want to test in plain language, run the same prompts against many models in one session, and compare cost per request, latency, scored quality, and stability across repeat runs, so you see variance, not a single lucky output.

The product is built for developers and product teams who need to choose or validate a model before shipping an AI feature. Hosted benchmarking uses credits, so you do not need to configure separate OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API keys for every comparison.

You get side-by-side results with real API calls to models, not cached marketing numbers. Use it when you care about cost efficiency (quality relative to what you pay), not just the cheapest token price on a datasheet.

OpenMark AI supports a large catalog of models and focuses on pre-deployment decisions: which model fits this workflow, at what cost, and whether outputs are consistent when you run the same task again. Free and paid plans are available; details are shown in the in-app billing section.

I built SkillForge because I kept running into the same problem — I'd practice audio production or graphic design for a few days, then completely lose the habit with zero record of my progress. Every productivity app I tried was either too generic or made for corporate project management, not for creatives who just want to get better at their craft.

The core idea was simple: what if practicing your skill felt like levelling up in a game?

So I built a skill tracker where every minute you practice earns real XP, builds streaks, and unlocks badges. The more you show up, the more you level up — from Level 1 to Level 10 across any creative discipline you choose (audio, design, dev, video, photography, and more).

What surprised me most during development was how much the AI Coach feature resonated with early testers. Instead of just logging time, the AI analyzes your session history and tells you exactly what to work on next — it noticed patterns in people's practice that they hadn't noticed themselves.

A few things I'm proud of:
🔥 Streak system that actually keeps you accountable
🤖 GPT-4o-mini powered coaching that builds you a personalised 7-day plan
📶 Fully offline-first — your sessions save locally and sync when you reconnect
👥 A community feed so you're not grinding alone

This started as a personal tool and grew into something I genuinely use every day. I'd love to hear what you think — especially from fellow creatives.
