Promptable is a TypeScript/JavaScript library designed for developers building full-stack AI applications using Large Language Models (LLMs) and embedding providers. It simplifies the composition of LLMs with data and tools, enabling rapid development of chatbots, question-answering systems, semantic search, and AI-powered automations.

How It Works

Promptable offers a flexible, extensible API for orchestrating LLM interactions. It supports composing LLMs with data sources and tools through "chains" and provides utilities for text manipulation, templating, and embedding generation. The library includes tracing for debugging and starter kits for common use cases like streaming chatbots.
