Prompts

Prompts are the instructions your agents follow.

Etals gives you a flexible prompt system so agents can receive the right context for each task. This is important when producing content at scale, where the same task may need different rules depending on the brand, market, language, or product type.

Why you should use multiple prompts

Imagine that you work with multiple brands, markets, and product types.

Each brand has its own tone of voice. Each market has rules that need to be followed. Some product types also need specific instructions.

You could put all of this information into one large prompt, but the results are usually better when the information is separated and only included when needed.

Etals helps you organize prompts so the right information is included at the right time.

Accessing prompts

To manage prompts, go to Library > Prompts.

Prompts belong to a category, which makes them easier to organize and reuse.

Editing prompts

Open a prompt to edit its content, variables, blocks, and conditions.

Variables

Variables let you insert dynamic values into a prompt.

For example:

Produce the content in [language] for the [market] market.
The product you are working on is named [product_name].
Additional product information:
Image: [image]
EAN: [ean]
Supplier information: [product_supplier_information]

In this prompt, [language], [market], [product_name], [image], [ean], [product_supplier_information] are replaced with real values when the agent runs.

You can add variables from the right sidebar. Variables can also be used in conditions.

Blocks

Each prompt can contain multiple blocks.

Blocks help you split a prompt into smaller parts. This makes prompts easier to read, reuse, and control.

Add a new block by clicking Add block.

Block conditions

Conditions let you show a block only when it is relevant.

For example, you can show one block for a specific market, another block for a specific language, and another block for a specific product type.

The video below shows how to set up block conditions.
