Transform your AI development with intelligent context management, optimization, and prompt engineering
English | ๆฅๆฌ่ช | Demo | Quick Start | Docs
Every AI developer faces these challenges:
|
|
Context Engineering is the systematic approach to designing, managing, and optimizing the information provided to AI models. Think of it as DevOps for AI prompts - bringing engineering rigor to what has traditionally been ad-hoc prompt crafting.
- ๐ Measure Everything - Quality scores, token usage, response times
- ๐ Optimize Continuously - AI-powered improvements on every interaction
- ๐ Standardize Templates - Reusable components for consistent results
- ๐ฏ Focus on Outcomes - Business metrics, not just technical metrics
Click to see how our analysis works
# Traditional approach - manual review
context = "You are an AI assistant. You help users. You are helpful..."
# Developer: "Looks good to me!" ๐คท
# Context Engineering approach - AI analysis
analysis = await analyze_context(context)
print(f"Quality Score: {analysis.quality_score}/100")
print(f"Issues Found: {analysis.issues}")
print(f"Recommendations: {analysis.recommendations}")
# Output:
# Quality Score: 65/100
# Issues Found: ['Redundant statements', 'Vague instructions']
# Recommendations: ['Combine role definition', 'Add specific examples']Our AI analyzer evaluates:
- Semantic Coherence: How well ideas flow together
- Information Density: Token efficiency metrics
- Clarity Score: Readability and understandability
- Relevance Mapping: How well content matches intent
See optimization in action
# Before optimization
original_context = """
You are an AI assistant. You are helpful. You help users with their
questions. When users ask questions, you provide helpful answers.
You should be helpful and provide good answers to questions.
"""
# Tokens: 50, Quality: 60/100
# After optimization
optimized_context = """
You are a helpful AI assistant that provides comprehensive,
accurate answers to user questions.
"""
# Tokens: 15 (70% reduction!), Quality: 85/100Optimization strategies:
- ๐ฏ Token Reduction: Remove redundancy without losing meaning
- ๐ Clarity Enhancement: Improve instruction precision
- ๐ Relevance Boosting: Prioritize important information
- ๐ Structure Improvement: Logical flow optimization
Explore our template system
# Create a reusable template
