The library

The library is a set of ready-made prisms written by Prismlet. Each entry is a recipe: a prism's fields, context, questions and Lens, with an example text and the answers a real model gave for it. You browse recipes, read how one answers its example, and adopt the one closest to your job. Adopting copies it into your account as an ordinary prism you can change.

Admins open it with Browse library on the Prisms page.

Type what you want to check in the search box, such as refund, complaint or tone. The search matches the recipe's title and summary, its questions, the fields it reads, the columns it returns, and its team, industry and job.

Browse by groups the recipes three ways:

  • Team, such as Customer service, Fraud and risk, or Legal.
  • Industry, such as Insurance, Healthcare or Telecom. Recipes that fit any industry get a group of their own.
  • Job, the kind of work the prism does, such as Route and sort, Screen what comes in, or Check before it goes out.

The chips under it narrow the list to one team, industry or job. All shows every group. A recipe can sit in several groups. Featured recipes come first in each group. Show more loads the next batch.

The search and the chosen group are part of the page's address, so you can share a link to a view.

Each card shows the team, the number of questions, what the prism reads, what it returns, and its industries. Click a card to open it.

The open recipe has two sides:

  • Example shows the example text, one section per field.
  • Questions & answers shows each question with the answer it got on that example and its probability. Definition under a question shows its type, instructions and options with their descriptions.

These answers were saved with the recipe when Prismlet ran it. Opening a recipe makes no model call and costs nothing.

Try your own text lets you edit the example, and Reset example puts it back. Test this prism (mock) is a preview only. It keeps showing the stored answers for the original example and does not read your text. To see answers to your own text, adopt the recipe and use the Try tab.

Collapse closes the recipe.

Use this prism adds the recipe to your account as a new prism with the recipe's name, fields, context, questions and Lens. Version 1 is saved and published.

The new prism opens on its Try tab with the recipe's example loaded. Nothing has been sent to the model yet. Replace the text with your own, or keep it, and choose Run check. See Try and file runs.

Each Use this prism makes a separate prism, so using a recipe twice gives you two.

The adopted prism is an ordinary prism. Edit its questions, save versions, publish and set up its Lens as with any other. See Building a prism.

The Questions tab names the recipe it came from, with View the recipe to open it in the library. The recipe and your prism are separate from then on.

  • When Prismlet changes the recipe, the Questions tab says that the library recipe changed since you adopted it. Your prism stays as it is.
  • When the library drops the recipe, the tab says the library no longer has it.

Nothing in the library ever updates your prism. To take a change, open the recipe and copy what you want into your prism, or adopt it again as a new prism.

Some recipes have a use case page on prismlet.com that walks through the problem it solves. An open recipe with such a page shows Read the use case, which opens it in a new tab. The full list is at prismlet.com/use-cases.
