By now, you probably know that the advent of consumer-facing AI tools like ChatGPT, Anthroponic Cloud, and Google Gemini is changing everything. If so, you may find that the results you get from these tools are only as good as the “questions” (or queries) you submit.
Effective rapid engineering is more complicated than doing a Google search. Knowing agile design methods is so important (and can be complicated) that some people make a living as agile engineers.
That's why the big platforms are using their AI to help humans write better questions.
Earlier this week, Anthropic unveiled rapid engineering tools in its developer console to simplify AI application development and challenge OpenAI's dominance in the enterprise market. The star of the show, “Rapid Improve,” automates best practices for rapid engineering and improves model accuracy by 30% per test, according to Anthropic.
Anthropix Optimizer appears to be a direct response to a similar solution released by OpenAI last month.
As reported by Decrypt, the developers of ChatGPT have stated that their tool relies on a “meta-prompt” for analyzing input and optimizes it based on OpenAI formats and practices to enhance instant transparency.
Anthropic's Rapid Update only works on their platforms, just like OpenAI's. Likewise, their developer platforms aren't exactly known. So we decided to build our own tool that is easy for general users to understand and works on all platforms.
We chose ChatGPT because it's the most popular UI, and anyone can get free access to our fast updates. We trained our chatbot on a comprehensive dataset, combining OpenAI's official guidelines with best practices and tips from the community. This hybrid approach allows the tool to provide accessible and accurate recommendations while maintaining technical accuracy. Also some ideas might help if OpenAI decides not to implement it.
We asked GPT what we should call our device, and he suggested “Fast”. Ta-da!
The process is simple: visit the link and simply tell our GPT “Upgrade this question”, followed by the question you want to raise. The bot will analyze it, explain why, and suggest some improvements in the feedback dialog. example –
Our internal tests showed particularly strong performance on creative writing and reasoning tasks, where our tool actually provided more detailed, accurate, and rich responses than Anthropic's solution. Coding and parsing capabilities didn't really make a big difference, but overall, the free tool succeeded in helping users narrow down questions through natural interactions.
Notable features include the ability to target specific improvements, such as clarity or detail, and the tool's ability to detect fully optimized queries and provide constructive suggestions for improvements that can still be improved. Also, you can talk to the bot in natural language and modify the prompt in multiple iterations, which is not so intuitive in the official tools.
But there is also an option for those who don't want to rely on AI to improve their AI queries. There are tons of courses, guides, and tutorials to help you excel at speed crafting.
Don't waste your money on something that is available for free. There are great courses on YouTube that provide you with all the information you need and from popular sources including channels like Zero to Master – 5-Hour Course – Google Videos and Courses, Free Code Camp, Microsoft and more.
