What is a template

A template is a reusable AI task definition with:

  • title
  • description
  • prompt body
  • input fields
  • optional preferred model

Template lifecycle

  1. Create template
  2. Configure fields
  3. Run with inputs
  4. Review saved runs
  5. Refine prompt body as needed

Prompt body and placeholders

Template prompt bodies use placeholders such as:

text
{{product_name}}
{{target_audience}}
{{source_text}}

Each placeholder should map to one field.

Why this matters

Templates separate stable logic (instructions) from changing data (inputs). This is what makes AI workflows repeatable.

Use task-based titles:

  • "PR review (backend)"
  • "Launch summary draft"
  • "Customer interview synthesis"
