15. Prompt Engineering Tools

Manage, version, and optimize your prompts with specialized tools.

(Plot Twist: You need version control for your prompts now. Git for AI. Next year: "Prompt conflicts" will be a thing. Mark my words. 🔮)

Key Tools

  • LangSmith (LangChain): Debug, test, monitor LLM apps. Full observability.
  • PromptLayer: Log and version all LLM requests. Prompt registry.
  • Helicone: Open-source LLM observability. Track costs, latency.
  • Humanloop: Prompt experimentation and A/B testing.

Why Use Prompt Tools?

  • Version control for prompts (like Git for code)
  • A/B testing different prompt variations
  • Cost tracking per prompt/user
  • Debugging LLM app issues
  • Collaboration between engineers and non-technical
