Prompt Chain
A prompt chain is a form of AI task automation in which fixed steps are executed in sequence, with the output of each step serving as the input to the next. It contains no branching or loops, and its logic is fully deterministic. It is suited to structured tasks such as format conversion and generating first drafts of content.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Prompt Chain is the simplest form of AI automation: fixed steps connected linearly in series, where the output of each step is the input of the next, with no branching, no loops, and fully deterministic logic.
Each step of a Prompt Chain is a deterministic function call, with clear input and output boundaries, and can undergo version management and regression testing just like traditional software.
Prompt Chain cannot handle scenarios that require conditional branching (if/else) or feedback loops.
