Products that do what A tool to help you write more reliable prompts does
Hey HN! While writing prompts for a few projects recently, a couple of friends and I realised that writing prompts today is like writing code in a txt file - it sucks and there is no tooling to help you. So we decided to hack on a tool to help you fix this - https://optimist.varied.ai/ It is literally a hack rn but we already find it useful for writing prompts. That said we'd love to talk to folks who are writing serious prompts everyday and see how the product can be better. Also the only reason the waitlist is there, is running this is super expensive like $100/day for…

Hey HN! We just launched PromptL: a templating language built to simplify writing complex prompts for LLMs like GPT-4 and Claude. Why PromptL? Creating dynamic prompts for LLMs can get tricky, even with standardized APIs that use lists of messages and settings. While these formats are consistent, building complex interactions with custom logic or branching paths can quickly become repetitive and hard to manage as prompts grow. PromptL steps in to make this simple. It allows you to define and manage LLM conversations in a readable, single-file format, with support for control flow and…

I made EchoStash. If you’ve ever written a great prompt, used it once, and then couldn’t find it again — I’ve been there too. I kept losing my best prompts in chats, notes, or random documents. Every time I started a new project, I ended up rewriting the same stuff or wasting time trying to remember where I saved things. So I built EchoStash — a simple tool for developers who use AI tools regularly. It helps you save, organize, and reuse your prompts. You can tag them by project or tool, and when you need something, just search. The cool part? EchoStash has AI-powered search. You don’t need…

Hi HN, I'm pleased to share Promptspot, an open-source (Apache License 2.0) project that helps automate testing of large language model (LLM) prompts against an array of input data. Modern LLMs offer an enormous amount of leverage if you "teach the bot to fish" — i.e. simply prompt it with both a "system prompt" (which typically doesn't change often) and a dynamic input, which is often application state, search results, recent activity, user profile data, etc. Existing playgrounds and prompt management systems often lack the rigor and flexibility required for this dynamic approach — and as…

As a high school student, I love LLMs and the execution of Apple's Appel Intelligence Writing Tools, but was disappointed that nothing like that existed for Windows. So, I created Writing Tools, a better than Apple Intelligence open-source alternative that works system-wide on Windows! Key features: - Uses Google's Gemini 1.5 Flash model for superior AI-assisted writing (much better than the tiny 2B parameter Apple Intelligence model) - Works in any application with a customizable hotkey - Proofreads, rewrites, summarizes, and more - Free and privacy-focused (your API key stays local, no…
