Creating and running prompts

Let's create our very first Unstract prompt in Prompt Studio to fetch the name of the credit card issuer.

  • Click on the + Prompt button to add a new prompt cell

Let's understand the different components that make up a prompt cell:

  1. Field Name: This is the field name of the prompt. This will be the field name used in the JSON output. You'll need to make sure this is JSON key syntax compatible.
  2. Field Prompt: Prompt used to extract the field.
  3. Coverage Info: We have 3 documents loaded into this Prompt Studio project. Coverage Info shows you the number of documents for which this prompt created any output. In this screenshot, we see that our prompt returned some output for all 3 documents, making our coverage 100%. Coverage only checks for null. You'll need to manually check if the values themselves make sense.
  4. LLM Profile Settings: Shows the currently selected LLM Profile for this prompt. You can use the LLM Profile Switcher (highlighted by 9) to switch profiles and then re-run the prompt.
  5. Output type selector: You can switch between types of output you need. Prompt Studio takes care of adding the prompts required to generate that type of output behind the scenes automatically for you. You can choose between text, data, number, JSON object, etc. When a new prompt is created, the default is always set to Text.
  6. Eval Output: Shows you various parameters determined by output evaluation. You can optionally use this metadata to further process this output. You can set Evaluation parameters in the panel which is brought up by the Eval button highlighted by 8.
  7. LLM Response: This is the area which shows you the response from the LLM.

The Run Prompt button is highlighted in red. As you enter the field name and field prompt, they're auto-saved. You can then click on the Run button to run the prompt.

For this example prompt, here's what we enter:

  • Prompt Field: cc_issuer_name
  • Field Prompt: What is the name of the issuer or the bank who has issued this credit card? I am not interested in the legal entity, but the primary brand name of the credit card.
  • Click on the Run button

Understanding Prompt Coverage

While you can switch documents via the Documents Manager and examine the LLM output for each of them, it's way easier to see what output we got for each document for a particular prompt using Coverage Info.

In the above prompt cell, we see that we have coverage for all 3 documents, meaning the LLM selected responded with some output for all three documents for the given prompt.

Clicking on the Coverage link brings up the Coverage Panel, which shows the output against the document's file name.
