Prompt Playground

Crafting effective prompts is key to building AI systems that are aligned with your business needs. Prompts act as instructions that guide AI models like those from OpenAI and others on how to respond. A well-structured prompt can make all the difference between useless and intelligent output.

Here is a comparison of a well-structured prompt and a poorly structured prompt:

Well-Structured PromptPoorly Structured Prompt
Clearly states the task or questionVague, unclear task or question
Provides necessary context and background infoLacks context or background info
Uses clear, simple languageUses complex, convoluted language
Is specific and detailedIs overly broad or general
Avoids ambiguityContains ambiguous phrases
Is an appropriate lengthIs overly long or short
Follows logical structureJumps around or lacks organization
  • Well-structured prompts clearly state the task and provide sufficient context. They use clear simple language, are specific, avoid ambiguity, are an appropriate length, and are logically structured.

  • Poorly structured prompts are vague, lack context, use complex language, are overly broad, contain ambiguity, are extreme lengths, and lack organization.

Following prompt engineering best practices like clarity, specificity, providing context, and logical flow results in well-formed prompts that allow AIs to provide high-quality responses.

How's prompt engineering different from ChatGPT?

While chatting interactively with an AI system allows tweaking prompts on the fly, that flexibility goes away when integrating AI into real applications. In an app context, the prompts need to be pre-engineered to provide reliable, accurate responses every time. This makes prompt engineering a crucial skill; one that is very different from chatting with an AI.

Prompt Playground

The Prompt Playground enables prompt engineering by making it easy to methodically craft, test, and refine prompts before integration. Having poorly designed prompts embedded in apps can lead to unpredictable or useless AI behavior. With the Prompt Playground, anyone can become an expert at prompt engineering - the art of articulating the ideal prompts that unlock an AI model's full potential.

When you first open the Prompt Playground, you will see a blank text area to your left. This is where you can start designing your prompt. Below the main text box, you will find advanced configuration options to further refine your prompt. This includes settings like temperature, max tokens, top p sampling, etc. that allow fine-tuning of the AI model's output. Hands-on tooltips explain what each parameter means.

The access to various commercial LLMs that your organization is using, and the controls for fine-tuning together facilitate creating prompts tailored for your unique business needs. The end-result is intelligence that can power your apps and deliver tremendous value.

The Prompt Playground allows using handlebar syntax like {{variable}} to parameterize your prompts. This enables creating dynamic prompts that accept variable input. As soon as you add the handlebar syntax, additional text boxes will appear below the prompt to define the variables.

Whenever you add variables into the Prompt Playground, the interface will automatically create inputs to pass on test values to run the prompt. Defining prompt variables using the handlebar syntax is an easy way to make prompts adaptable to different contexts.

Tip 💡: If you are crafting prompts to integrate into your applications, generate a JSON object of the result that the applications can later consume when calling into the API. If you're creating prompts to share within team members, this is not required.

The variables get passed to the AI system at runtime, guiding it to generate personalized and relevant responses.

The Prompt Playground makes it seamless to create dynamic, variable-powered prompts without needing any coding. It is the central hub where you can create, and test prompts within Hyperleap AI. This intuitive interface allows anyone, even without coding skills, to harness the power of AI through well-crafted prompts.
