Layout

  • Agent pickerTop-left dropdown listing every agent you can edit. Switching agents reloads the conversation and the System Prompt panel on the right.
  • Conversation threadLive chat with the selected agent — same model, same knowledge, same tools the public API would use. Messages stream token-by-token on Pro+.
  • System Prompt panelThe right-hand editor. Draft edits stay local until you click Publish. The badge tells you if your draft differs from the published version.
  • Publish buttonPromotes the draft to the live system prompt. Every API call from that point uses the new instructions — public widget, REST API, and member portal all switch at the same time.
  • Reset threadClears the current conversation without affecting saved logs or prompt drafts. Useful when you want to evaluate a prompt change with a clean slate.
  • Tool inspectorExpands under the assistant reply when an MCP tool ran. Shows the tool name, the input the model sent, and the raw output the tool returned.

Iterate on a prompt

  1. 1

    Send a real question

    Use the kind of question your real users ask — not trivia. Score each reply for accuracy, tone, completeness, and length.
  2. 2

    Edit the System Prompt panel

    Type into the right-hand editor. The Draft chip lights up to show the prompt now differs from production. Resend the same question to compare before-and-after.
  3. 3

    Iterate until happy

    Drafts auto-save per device. Switch agents and come back — your draft is still there. Reset the thread between major changes for a fair comparison.
  4. 4

    Publish

    Click Publish. The new version is live everywhere immediately and is versioned — see the agent's Versions tab to diff or roll back.

Draft vs published

The public API, the embedded ChatBot widget, and the member portal always read the published prompt — never your draft. That means you can safely iterate in Playground without affecting live traffic.
