Show HN: glideprompt: – Writes your system prompt and tests it on popular LMs
Good morning hackers, here&#x27;s my story.<p>How this problem bothered me...
About half a year ago, I was hired as a prompt engineer and didn&#x27;t have a service to run prompt tests at my company. We were a startup not looking for a huge, expensive solution.<p>I needed this testing tool to allow me to:
SHOW MY RECEIPTS. Evidence of why I choose to use a certain LLM provider (price, results) over another for a task.
MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS. For personal projects, an easy way to see which language model would be the best choice for a given task.<p>How I built glideprompt?
I started building this solo (using just node and react) and realized there was even more opportunity to simplify the prompt-engineering process:
1. Stop writing system prompts from scratch, it writes me a boilerplate one -for the task- to start with. Oftentimes, staring at a blank slate wastes so much time in any area of life, including coding or prompt engineering.
2. Saving the prompt tests for later on firestore, so I can use it again when new open source models come out, etc.<p>I figured other people would have the same problem so I tried to make the interface as simple as simply freaking possible. Moving forward, I&#x27;m looking to see if anyone wants to use this as an API connection, or would be more interested in running larger tests, etc.<p>I really want to make this a collaborative customer&#x2F;founder thing. Comment or email and I guarantee I will respond, and take your advice&#x2F;feedback seriously.<p>Please let me know what you think.
