PromptPlayground
Side-by-side prompt and model comparison with parameter controls and shareable runs.

AI-02Illustrative preview of the intended interface.
Overview
What it solves
The problem
Comparing prompts and models usually means copy-pasting between tabs, losing parameters and eyeballing the differences.
The approach
PromptPlayground runs one prompt against several models side by side with shared parameters, highlighted differences and shareable runs.
Features
Key features
- 01
Side-by-side runs
Send the same prompt to multiple models at once and watch the answers stream in parallel.
- 02
Parameter controls
Temperature, max tokens and top-p per model, saved with every run.
- 03
Word-level diff
Differences between outputs are highlighted so you can see what changed, not just that it did.
- 04
Shareable runs
A run captures prompt, settings and outputs behind a single link.
Under the hood
How it works
- 1
Write
Compose the prompt and any variables.
- 2
Configure
Pick models and set parameters for each.
- 3
Run
Requests fire in parallel and stream back independently.
- 4
Compare
Review diffs, latency and cost, then share or save the run.

Developer experience
Usage
Planned API — this shows the intended developer experience and may change as the component is built.
<PromptPlayground
models={["model-a", "model-b"]}
defaultParams={{ temperature: 0.2, maxTokens: 512 }}
onRun={(run) => saveRun(run)}

Metrics captured per run
Enough detail to reproduce a run and judge it fairly.
| Metric | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Latency | Time to first token and total completion time. |
| Tokens | Prompt and completion token counts. |
| Cost | Estimated from the model's token pricing. |
| Diff | Word-level differences between outputs. |
| Parameters | Exact settings, so any run can be repeated. |
