Agency with observability

What is Prompty?

Prompty is an asset class and format for LLM prompts that aims to provide observability, understandability, and portability for developers - the primary goal is to speed up the developer inner loop.

Prompty is comprised of 3 things

• the specification,
• its tooling,
• and runtime.

The specification

Prompty is intended to be a language agnostic asset class for creating and managing prompts.

• Uses common markdown format
• Modified front-matter to specify metadata, model settings, sample data (among other things)
• Content in a standard template format

The tooling

Given the standard specification, there’s a lot of nice things we can give developers in their environment.

• Front matter autocompletion
• Colorization / syntax highlighting
• Validation (with red squiggles for undefined variables)
• Quick run
• Code generation
• Evaluation generation

The runtime

Prompty runtime is the whatever engine that understands and can execute the format. As a standalone file, it can’t really do anything without the help of the extension (when developing) or the runtime (when running).

• Works in Python
• Works in C#
• (In progress) works in TypeScript/JavaScript

1

Feel confident while building

Understand what’s coming in and going out and how to manage it effectively.

2

Language agnostic

Use with any language or framework you are familiar with.

3

Flexible and simple

Integrate into whatever development environments or workflows you have.

Standards open doors

By working in a common format we open up opportunities for new improvements.

• By default all prompty executions will produce tracing for each prompty called
• Developers can add additional tracing via simple SDK functions
• Tracing output uses OpenTelemetry so any/all existing tooling around that standard can be used to visualize the tracing output.

Works for everyone

Prompty is built on the premise that even with increasing complexity in AI, a fundamental unit remains prompts. And understanding this can lead to more innovative developments in AI applications, for everyone.
