Objections

  • Doesn't clearly connect to ChatGPT and is generic for any LLM

    From 1 comment
    • This doesn't seem to have any connection to ChatGPT. It's a just a form to click together text blocks. Could be used for any LLM I guess. The obsession with one proprietary…

  • Selector options are opaque and unclear for beginners

    • I'm neck deep in this ChatGPT stuff right now and build 1-2 apps a week, so a bit biased. Your presumed target audience is someone who does not know their way around prompt-based…

  • Keyboard shortcuts to reduce clicking

    From 1 comment
    • Mitenmit, if you're the author, could I suggest some keybindings such as control enter to save and move to the next input to reduce the amount of clicking? Or perhaps tab will…

  • Tools to compare prompt variants and evaluate outputs

    From 2 comments
    • Is the "act like a" pattern still necessary? I've stopped using that with GPT-4, since in my experience the default "persona" (for want of a better word) answers most of my…

    • Just editing a text prompt is 5% of the task. The hard part is evaluating. I would have tried a different approach: - the UI should host a list of models - a list of prompt…

Questions

  • Does the output actually work better than plain prompts?

  • Asking ChatGPT to write the prompt itself

    • That's great but I'll just ask ChatGPT to write my prompts.
