Learn Prompting🟢 Introduction
Last updated on August 7, 2024 by Sander SchulhoffPrompt engineering is an iterative design task. More formalized iterative design fields (e.g. logo design) have well established tooling which allows designers to be more efficient. Similar tooling exists in the prompt engineering space, with a variety of prompt engineering IDEs (integrated development environments) having recently been created. There exists a surprising range of such tooling, with everything from research interfaces to professionally designed IDEs. This chapter will provide an overview of some of the tools which may be of interest to you as a prompt engineer.
See the final article in this chapter for my recommendations on tools to use.
Due to waitlists, I have not yet been able to access all IDEs mentioned here. Additionally, due to the number of tools coming out, not all have a dedicated page.
Here is a table of the tools we will be discussing in this chapter:
