In summary
- Anthropic introduced a prompt improvement tool that increases model accuracy by 30%.
- OpenAI launched a similar “meta-prompt” to optimize user input on its platform.
- Decrypt created “Promptly”, a free tool that improves AI prompts in an accessible way and works on all platforms.
By now, you probably know that the rise of consumer-facing AI tools like ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, and Google’s Gemini changes everything. If so, you might also know that the results you get from these tools are only as good as the prompts you enter.
Effective prompt engineering is much more complex than performing a Google search. Knowing the tricks of prompt design is so important (and potentially complex) that some people even make a living as prompt engineers.
That’s why big platforms have been using their AI to help humans write better prompts.
Earlier this week, Anthropic introduced a set of prompt engineering tools in its developer console, to simplify AI application development and challenge OpenAI’s dominance in the enterprise market. The star of the show, a “prompt improver,” which automates best practices for prompt engineering and increases model accuracy by 30% in testing, according to Anthropic.
Anthropic AI Prompt Enhancer.
Anthropic’s optimizer appears to be a direct response to a similar solution released by OpenAI last month.
As reported by Decrypt, the developers of ChatGPT revealed that their tool is based on a “meta-prompt” designed to analyze an input and adapt it according to OpenAI formats and practices to improve the clarity of the prompt.
Meet Promptly from Decrypt
Anthropic’s prompt enhancer, like OpenAI’s, only works on their platforms. Also, their developer consoles aren’t exactly intuitive. So we decided to build our own tool that is easy enough for general users to understand and works on all platforms.
We chose ChatGPT because it’s the most popular UI, and anyone can access our prompt enhancer for free. We train our chatbot on a comprehensive dataset that combines official OpenAI guidelines with best practices and advice from the community. This hybrid approach allows the tool to provide accessible and justified recommendations while maintaining technical accuracy. You may also benefit from some ideas that OpenAI decided not to implement.
We asked GPT what to call our tool, and it suggested “Promptly.” Ta-da!
The way it works is simple: Visit the link and simply tell our GPT “improve this prompt”, followed by the prompt you want to improve. The bot will analyze it, explain its reasoning, and suggest specific improvements through an iterative dialogue.
For example:
Our internal testing revealed particularly strong performance on creative writing and reasoning tasks, where our tool subjectively provided better results than Anthropic’s solution, with more detailed, precise and richer answers. Coding and analysis capabilities didn’t show a major difference, but overall, the free tool manages to help users refine prompts through natural interaction.
Notable features include the ability to target specific improvements such as clarity or detail, and the tool’s ability to recognize fully optimized prompts while still offering constructive suggestions for possible improvements. Additionally, you can talk to the bot in natural language and improve the prompt through several iterations, which is not as intuitive in official tools.
But there is also an option for those who don’t want to rely on AI to improve their AI prompts. There are many courses, guides and tutorials that can help you excel at creating prompts.
Don’t waste your money on what is already available for free. There are excellent courses on YouTube that will provide you with all the information you need and come from trusted sources, including channels like Zero to Mastery—which offers a 5-hour course—Google videos and courses, Free Code Camp, Microsoft, and others.
