Variables

Variables allow you to parameterize the content within your prompt messages, making interactions more dynamic and personalized. To define a variable, use the following format:

{ variable }

These variables can be incorporated into both the main system message and any subsequent messages. They are tracked in the engine's history, ensuring consistent usage throughout the conversation. Variables act as initial conditions that you set when starting a new chat session.

Travel Bot Example

In a travel bot scenario, variables enable you to tailor responses based on user input or predefined parameters. For example, you can set up variables for different locations, dates, or user preferences to create a more personalized experience.

Example:

{destination} = Paris
{check_in_date} = October 10
{check_out_date} = October 15

When initiating a chat session, you can initialize the destination variable to Paris.

You can also combine variables with few-shot prompting to generate customized responses:

Looking for hotels in {destination} from {check_in_date} to {check_out_date}
