Discover how PromptKeeper, a Chrome extension, is simplifying GenAI prompt management by enhancing productivity for all Generative AI users

This is January 2024 — So Happy 2024, Folks! And I’ve been sitting on this particular pain-point-awaiting-creative-solutions, an itchy-idea-that-needed-hands-on-during-holidays, a dev-experiment-to-be-done-with — whatever you call it — for a lil while now 😅. Since 2023 in fact 🤔 … (obv)

What am I talking about?
Ok, First, First — Some Context, Some Background: The thing is, I am really in-like with GenAI #exponentialAge and all the disruption that is taking place (like it, hate it, or join it) and with the rapidly evolving world of generative AI (#GenAI), and the use cases, The efficiency and organization of so call prompts have quickly become a need, a MUST.

So, while you may use Notes, GitHub Repo, or Google Keep for that matter to keep your prompts recorded, noted down, (and passed down through generations)— as long as it's super handy and accessible in your web browser, - that's really where the most value comes from when it comes #genAIbyAverageJoe disruption.
And we’re talking Dozens of LLMs, from OpenAI ChatGPT, LLama, Bard, repos, or AWS Bedrock anyone?

The point is, — with Generative AI use cases, `Prompt Engineering` is quickly the First Point of call, and the most effective starting point to get the most from your Generative AI, tuning the context, your “Gorgeous Assistant” helpfulness level — This is their the Art of Prompt Engineering comes in. It’s a well-paid time as well.

So…. what DID I end up creating with this dev-itch-that-needed-scratching?

The big deal, well, it’s the Chrome Extension I created to fast-track prompt engineering with a focus on re-usability and efficiency. And This Post dives into the journey of developing PromptKeeper, its impactful features, and how it accelerates value creation with GenAI tools and services.

Most importantly you can re-use the same prompts in all other web-accessible prompt text windows, track versions, and even export for sharing the set.

The Pain of Managing Prompts in the GenAI Ecosystem

As a user and developer within the GenAI ecosystem, It’s a common challenge I faced myself, and my AI Engineering colleagues faced as well: managing a plethora of prompts. :the_sad_face_emoji:
These prompts, crucial for interacting with AI models, often got lost in the shuffle of everyday work. Without a proper management system, the process was inefficient and time-consuming. This problem not only hampered productivity but also stifled creative exploration. It was clear that a solution was needed — a tool that could centralise, organise, and just simplify this prompt management process.

The Promise of PromptKeeper “TM”

PromptKeeper emerged as a response to this need. This simple, yet effective Chrome extension is designed for anyone using GenAI platforms. It offers a convenient way to store, manage, and reuse prompts, all within your browser.
