# Basic Prompting
|
|
|
|
Prompts serve as the inputs to a large language model (LLM), acting as the interface between human instructions and computational tasks.
|
|
|
|
By submitting natural language requests in a prompt to an LLM, you can obtain answers, generate text, and solve problems.
|
|
|
|
This article demonstrates how to use Langflow's prompt tools to issue basic prompts to an LLM, and how various prompting strategies can affect your outcomes.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- [Langflow installed and running](../getting-started/install-langflow.mdx)
|
|
|
|
- [OpenAI API key created](https://platform.openai.com)
|
|

## Create the basic prompting project
|
|
|
|
1. From the Langflow dashboard, click **New Project**.
|
|
2. Select **Basic Prompting**.
|
|
3. The **Basic Prompting** flow is created.
|
|
|
|

sources={{
|
|
light: "img/basic-prompting.png",
|
|
dark: "img/basic-prompting.png",
|
|
}}
|
|
style={{ width: "80%", margin: "20px auto" }}
|
|
/>
|
|
|
|
This flow allows you to chat with the **OpenAI** component via a **Prompt** component.
|
|
Examine the **Prompt** component. The **Template** field instructs the LLM to `Answer the user as if you were a pirate.`
|
|
This should be interesting...
|
|
|
|
4. To create an environment variable for the **OpenAI** component, in the **OpenAI API Key** field, click the **Globe** button, and then click **Add New Variable**.
|
|
1. In the **Variable Name** field, enter `openai_api_key`.
|
|
2. In the **Value** field, paste your OpenAI API Key (`sk-...`).
|
|
3. Click **Save Variable**.
|
|
|
|
## Run the basic prompting flow
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **Run** button.
|
|
The **Interaction Panel** opens, where you can converse with your bot.
|
|
2. Type a message and press Enter.
|
|
The bot responds in a markedly piratical manner!
|
|
|
|
## Modify the prompt for a different result
|
|
|
|
1. To modify your prompt results, in the **Prompt** template, click the **Template** field.
|
|
The **Edit Prompt** window opens.
|
|
2. Change `Answer the user as if you were a pirate` to a different character, perhaps `Answer the user as if you were Harold Abelson.`
|
|
3. Run the basic prompting flow again.
|
|
The response will be markedly different.
