Understanding Prompts

Prompt management is the raison d’etre for Prompt Store. In too many AI applications, the prompts are hidden. Given how important the prompt is to the fitness of the output, this is a mistake. A single word, or a change in the sequence of words, while it may be appropriate for one use case, it will cause undesirable consequences in another use case. For example, adding the prompt instruction - “We want the customer to feel like we are giving them a super power, not just selling another product.”, to give marketing copy extra pep, users were confused why the copy would regularly churn out phrases including the words “power”, “super”, and “awaits”.

Prompts aren’t meant to be defaulted. They are intrinsic to the use case and business problem at hand.
