Do you find yourself writing the same kind of prompts again and again into ChatGPT? Work your most used prompts into a comfy graphic user interface with just a few lines of code.

Promptbook allows you to:

• Have a customizable UI from a simple prompt-building Python function
• Store your GUI-prompts to reuse them on a click
• Use fantastic recipe ideas from other contributors

Please, note that this is just a practical PoC

Examples

For a simple example, the recipe in recipes/correct_text.py...

def correct_text(
        text: str,
        style: str = None
) -> str:
    prompt = f"""
Your task is to correct and improve the text that is shown delimited by quotation marks below.

"{text}"

Output only the corrected text and perform the following actions:
 1. Identify and correct spelling errors
 2. Identify and correct grammatical issues
 3. If necessary, improve readability and reduce verbosity
"""

    if style is not None:
        prompt = prompt + f" 4. Make sure the text is written in {style} style."

    return prompt

...will automatically be shown in the app as...

Then, promptbook offers multiple customization options to embellish your UI. A more complex example (see the code in recipes/document_python_code.py could look like:

How it works

Promptbook is built upon Python function signatures and type hints. Then, Streamlit is used to provide a graphic interface.

In essence, a parser reads the prompt-generating function, identifies the arguments and creates according streamlit input widgets in the application.

Lastly, a Prompt class queries the OpenAI API and computes the answer, together with its token context and resulting cost.

How to use

To use the current recipes just get to Promptbook UI and start playing! If you do not have an OpenAI API key to launch the prompts, you can generate them and copy-paste into ChatGPT.
