In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, the ability to craft effective prompts has become a critical skill. As large language models (LLMs) continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible, the question has never been more pressing:

Is there a more robust and scalable approach to prompt design?

From Prompt Engineering to Prompt Design

Traditionally, prompt engineering has been a tedious and time-consuming process, involving extensive string manipulations and a deep understanding of the underlying language model. However, what if there’s a better approach? We recently discovered a new tool called “Prompt Poet” that may fill the gap. It empowers both developers and non-technical users to efficiently create and manage their production prompts.

Prompt Poet embrace a more design-focused mindset, considering a prompt as a function of runtime state — including the prompt template, data, token limit, and more. By leveraging a mix of YAML and Jinja2, it allows users to create flexible, dynamic prompts that adapt to the needs of their users and the constraints of their language models.
