Defining Conversation Structure
The Latitude prompt editor uses different roles to structure conversations and define the behavior of the AI model. The main roles include:
- System: Sets the overall context and behavior for the AI model.
- User: Represents the input or questions from the end-user.
- Assistant: Represents the AI model’s responses.
To learn more about how to use these roles effectively in your prompts, please visit our Roles in Prompt Editor page.

The Latitude prompt editor also offers advanced features to create more dynamic and complex prompts:
- Parameters: Use
{{parameter}}
syntax to include dynamic values in your prompts. - Snippets: Reuse common prompt elements with the
<prompt />
tag. - Chains and steps: Create multi-step prompts using the
<response />
tag. - Logic: Implement conditional statements and loops in your prompts.
