The Latitude Prompt Editor is your central hub for designing, testing, and managing AI prompts. It provides a powerful interface built around PromptL, our specialized language for creating dynamic and structured prompts.

​
Writing a Prompt using PromptL

At its core, the editor lets you write prompts using PromptL syntax. This includes:

  • Configuration Block: Define provider, model, and settings in the YAML frontmatter.
  • Messages: Structure conversations using <system>, <user>, and <assistant> tags.
  • Advanced Features: Utilize loops, conditionals, snippets, and more for complex logic.
---
provider: openai
model: gpt-4o
temperature: 0.7
---

<system>
You are a helpful assistant.
</system>

<user>
Tell me a joke about {{ topic }}.
</user>

Explore the full power of PromptL in the PromptL Syntax documentation.

​
Adding Parameters and Variables

Make your prompts dynamic by using variables and parameters:

Define placeholders like {{ topic }} in your prompt. You can use, read, and write data from these variables all over your prompt. All variables defined in the prompt without a value are automatically added as Input Parameters, which can be filled in via the Playground or API calls.

Learn more about Variables in PromptL.

Input parameters will automatically appear in the Playground for easy testing.

​
Collaborating in the Editor

Latitude is built for teamwork:

  • Version Control: Manage changes using drafts and published versions. See the Version Control guide for details.
  • Shared Workspace: Team members can view and edit prompts within the same project.
  • Comments: Add /* comments */ directly within the editor for feedback and discussion.
