When to use automatic prompt generation

Automatic prompt generation is valuable in these scenarios:

  • Limited prompt engineering experience

    • Helps users without technical expertise create effective agents
    • Removes barriers to entry for non-technical users
    • Enables anyone to create functional agents regardless of skill level
  • Standardized workflows

    • Ensures consistency across multiple similar agents
    • Maintains quality and predictability in responses
    • Particularly beneficial in business and team environments
  • Time-saving and complexity reduction

    • Provides ready-to-use templates following best practices
    • Eliminates need to understand prompt engineering nuances
    • Enables quick updates and iterations to agent capabilities
  • Rapid prototyping and testing

    • Facilitates quick creation and modification during experimentation
    • Speeds up testing of new features and capabilities
    • Reduces time investment during development phases
  • Easier agent maintenance

    • Simplifies updating agents as needs evolve
    • Makes maintenance more efficient with parameter adjustments
    • Reduces errors compared to manually edited prompts

Creating a New Prompt

  • Click the Generate button from the right side of the prompt editor
  • Write a description of the prompt you want to generate
  • Click the Create button

It will take a few seconds to generate the prompt and display it on the prompt editor.

Update an Existing Prompt

  • Click the Generate button from the right side of the prompt editor
  • Write instructions about what you want to update in the prompt
  • Click the Update button.

It will take a few seconds to update the prompt and display it on the prompt editor.

Best Practices

Be Specific

When describing what you want to generate, be as specific as possible about the agent’s purpose and capabilities.

Include Examples

Provide examples of expected interactions to help the generator create more accurate prompts.

Iterative Approach

Use the update feature to refine your prompt gradually rather than trying to get it perfect in one go.

Focus on Outcomes

Describe the desired outcomes and results rather than just the features you want.

Review & Test

Always review and test the generated prompt with sample queries before deploying.
