Create a prompt - Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio is in preview release and is subject to change.

Create a prompt

When you create a prompt, you select a model for it and can modify inference parameters. To adjust the prompt for different use cases, you can include up to 5 variables.

You define variables in a prompt by surrounding them in double curly braces {{variable}}. For example, the following prompt defines two variables, topic and location.

Generate a playlist of songs about {{topic}}. Make sure each song is by artists from {{location}}.

When you run the prompt, you supply values for the variables. Amazon Bedrock IDE fills the prompt with the variable values and then passes the prompt to the model. For example, if you supply a topic value of castle and a location value of Wales, the model generates a playlist of songs about castles by Welsh artists.

You initially create a draft of your prompt. You can then test your prompt by inputing test values for the variables and running the prompt. These values are only for temporary testing and aren't saved to your prompt.

You can create variants of your prompt that use different messages, models, or configurations so that you can compare their outputs to decide the best variant for your use case.

When you are ready, you can create a version of your prompt for use in a flow app. You can create multiple versions of a prompt, but you can only edit the latest version. When you delete a prompt, it deletes all versions of the prompt.
