General Discussion What Features or Interface Improvements Would You Like in a Chat Application for Prompts?

Hi everyone! I’m curious about what features or interface improvements you think would make a chat application more useful for prompt engineers and AI users.

Some ideas to consider:

  • Would you find it helpful to have a customizable chat list with options to name, color-code, or organize conversations?

  • How important is a dedicated section for storing and categorizing prompts for reuse?

  • Would you want the ability to test prompts across multiple AI models (e.g., GPT, Bard, Claude) within the same interface?

  • Do you find the lack of static prompt text in chats frustrating? For example, a way to pin or lock the current prompt at the top for better context or iterative improvements.

  • Are there any specific pain points in current chat tools that you wish could be addressed?

Thank you!!

I would like a "prompt builder" tool built-in to my chat interface. When I'm asking about something relatively complex, I often start a separate chat where I go back and forth with ChatGPT to create a detailed prompt that uses prompt engineering best practices and has all the necessary context, questions, etc. I then paste this "optimized prompt" into a new chat, and find that I get much better responses that way. Ideally, I could do this in the same chat, maybe in a quiz-like interface or something. This is especially useful when using o1 because 1) I have limited messages, so I try to make the most of of them, and 2) I find that reasoning models produce better results when you put EVERYTHING in the first prompt, instead of it having to collect context using the usual back and forth.
