Products that do what Gato Prompt Lang – keep prompt content and responses short in JSON does
It started with me trying to get consistent json output but then evolved to something I can use to get consistent outputs structured in the way I need with, which is essential to consume responses in software. I seem to get json consistent 100% of the time when I use the API but when I use the UI I occasionally some response data not in the json.

I spent a few hours last weekend testing whether AI can replace code by executing directly. Built a contact manager where every HTTP request goes to an LLM with three tools: database (SQLite), webResponse (HTML/JSON/JS), and updateMemory (feedback). No routes, no controllers, no business logic. The AI designs schemas on first request, generates UIs from paths alone, and evolves based on natural language feedback. It works—forms submit, data persists, APIs return JSON—but it's catastrophically slow (30-60s per request), absurdly expensive ($0.05/request), and has zero UI…

Hey HN! We’re Kevin and Steve. We’re building PromptTools (https://github.com/hegelai/prompttools): open-source, self-hostable tools for experimenting with, testing, and evaluating LLMs, vector databases, and prompts. Evaluating prompts, LLMs, and vector databases is a painful, time-consuming but necessary part of the product engineering process. Our tools allow engineers to do this in a lot less time. By “evaluating” we mean checking the quality of a model's response for a given use case, which is a combination of testing and benchmarking. As examples: - For generated…

Hey HN, I've been using GPT a lot lately in some side projects around data generation and benchmarking. During the course of prompt tuning I ended up with a pretty complicated request: the value that I was looking for, an explanation, a criticism, etc. JSON was the most natural output format for this but results would often be broken, have wrong types, or contain missing fields. There's been some positive movement in this space, like with jsonformer (https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer) the other day. But nothing that was plug and play with GPT. This library consolidates…

Hi HN, I’m Joan, the developer of Quicklang. I made this app to easily translate and keep in sync all my localization JSON files for my side projects. While searching online for a similar tool, I only found enterprise solutions that do not allow direct editing of JSON files. I used to use ChatGPT to translate the JSON translation file changes before coding Quicklang. However, I realized that ChatGPT only allows you to input short content for translation into another language (even if you provide a .json file), and each time I had to request translations for one language at a time. So, I…

Hello! This is Jeane and Samuel and we’re building RecipeUI. RecipeUI is an open source Postman alternative that uses TypeScript to statically type and autocomplete requests. We built this because current API tools don’t deal with the fact that some APIs are just painful to work with. For us, it’s usually error after error as we try to figure out how to properly form the first request. We recorded a demo to show you how TypeScript helps us autocomplete a request correctly. https://youtu.be/O_Mly_p-g5s How does our platform improve the developer experience? The analogy is…

We're a team of three friends who have been working with forms and Open Source for a decade, and we joined forces together to create something where we can apply all of our experience. We recently released GolemUI, an Open Source library to generate forms dynamically from JSON definitions, with a typed layer to simplify authoring. This library has a lot to offer. These are the main characteristics: 1. A JSON engine. The form is governed by a JSON definition that you can store in a DB, version, diff, or generate it with LLMs as a validated JSON. 2. We provide also 28 headless components (and…

I build this app because I was tired of using Google Translate to translate my locale files (i18n). I wanted to use a more efficient and accurate translation tool. ChatGPT, however, always break my json and cannot translate large contents. So I build this app to solve these problems. Hope it can save your time. github: https://github.com/ObservedObserver/chatgpt-i18n online app: https://chatgpt-i18n.vercel.app/

Hi HN, I've been working on an experimental tool that helps you use GPT to work on your codebase. I'd love to improve the tool if there's interest. New ideas welcome! I think this could also be useful for experimenting with other types of recursive prompts. It’s a little bit Swiss Army knife and a little bit skynet: https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr From the README: Promptr is a CLI tool for operating on your codebase using GPT. Promptr dynamically includes one or more files into your GPT prompts, and it can optionally parse and apply the changes that GPT suggests to…

I built this out of frustration as I lead the development of AI features at Yola.com. Prompt testing should be simple and straightforward. All I wanted was a simple way to test prompts with variables and jinja2 templates across different models, ideally somthing I could open during a call, run few tests, and share results with my team. But every tool I tried hit me with a clunky UI, required login and API keys, or forced a lengthy setup process. And that's not all. Then came the pricing. The last quote I got for one of the tools on the market was $6,000/year for a team of 16 people in a…

We are excited to show Promptly (https://trypromptly.com), a prompt management platform for LLM apps that makes it easy to experiment, share and manage prompts in production. With Promptly, users can: - Try out different prompts and model parameters for various providers - Quickly share prompt snippets together with parameters and generated output. Think of it as CodePen or JSFiddle for prompts - Create high level endpoints on top of provider APIs (Open AI, DreamStudio etc) with templated and versioned prompts - Use built-in caching for endpoints that will help save on Open AI…

Hey HN! I'm working on OpenPipe, an open source prompt workshop. I wanted to share a feature we recently released: prompt translations. Prompt translations allow you to quickly convert a prompt between GPT 3.5, Llama 2, and Claude 1/2 compatible formats. The common case would be if you’re using GPT 3.5 in production and are interested in evaluating a Claude or Llama 2 model for your use case. Here's a screen recording to show how it works in our UI: https://twitter.com/OpenPipeLab/status/1687875354311180288 We’ve found a lot of our users are interested in…

As I was building my first few chains, I noticed how difficult it was to understand what was going on, why GPT was responding the way it was, and how I could improve it. Tinkering with my prompts was so tedious - I had to either update the prompt template and rerun the whole chain, or grab the actual prompt, take it to OpenAI playground, tweak it there, and then make a template out of it again. That's why I decided to build something better! PromptWatch allows you to tune your prompt templates in the browser in a format appropriate for LangChain, decoupling template from parameters data. It…

Hey HN! Erik here from banana.dev We’ve trained a small(ish) language model on structured extraction, and today we’re launching a playground for it at https://anythingtojson.com. Give it a try! This model continues our work on structured generation, following last week’s launch of Fructose[1], a python client for strongly-typed LLM responses. There seem to be two distinct halves of the problem intended to be solved by Fructose and structured generation: 1. the reasoning ability of the model, such as performing chain of thought, creative acts, and natural language tasks. In a way,…

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…
