The cloned project maintains all the documents, prompts, and settings from the original, providing a safe environment for testing and improvement.

Purpose and Benefits​

  • Risk-Free Experimentation: Modify prompts and extraction methods without affecting your production environment
  • Iterative Improvement: Test different extraction approaches to improve accuracy and reliability
  • Version Management: Maintain multiple versions of your extraction logic for different purposes
  • Comparison: Compare different prompt strategies to determine the most effective approach
  • Training and Onboarding: Create copies for team members to practice without affecting original projects
