I Built a Lightweight Prompt Testing Tool That Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Groq Simultaneously

TL;DR: Prompt Lab is a free, browser-only prompt debugging tool. No backend, no data storage — just paste your API keys and start testing across multiple LLM providers at once.

The Problem

Every time I needed to debug a prompt, I was jumping between tabs: OpenAI Playground, Anthropic Console, Groq's dashboard... Each has a different UI, no shared history, and I'd have to reconfigure parameters from scratch every time.

What I actually wanted was one place where I could:

• Write a prompt once
• Send it to multiple models in parallel
• Compare responses side by side
• Iterate without losing my history

What Prompt Lab Does

Multi-Model Testing

Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Groq all at once. Write your prompt, hit send, and get responses from every model you've configured — side by side.

Supported models:

• OpenAI: GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, GPT-3.5-turbo
• Anthropic: Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3 Haiku
• Google: Gemini 1.5 Pro, Gemini 1.5 Flash
• Groq: Llama 3.1 70B, Llama 3.1 8B, Mixtral 8x7B

Variable Injection

Use {{variable}} syntax in your prompts and define variable values separately. This makes it easy to test the same prompt structure across different inputs without rewriting it each time.

Summarize the following article in {{tone}} tone:

{{article_text}}

Then set tone = "formal" and article_text = "..." as variables. Change one, re-run, compare.

8 Built-In Templates

Included templates for common use cases:

• Text summarization
• Code review
• Email drafting
• Data extraction
• Translation
• Creative writing
• Q&A
• Chain-of-thought reasoning

Streaming Output

Responses stream in real-time rather than waiting for the full completion. For long outputs, you see the model "thinking" as it writes.

Session History

Your prompts and responses are saved locally in browser storage. You can go back and compare earlier test runs without losing context.

Technical Details

The whole thing is a single HTML file:

File size: ~45KB
Dependencies: none (vanilla JS)
Backend: none
Your API keys: stored in localStorage only, never transmitted to my servers
Data stored externally: none

API calls go directly from your browser to each provider's API. I don't sit in the middle. Your keys, your calls.

Who It's For

• AI developers testing prompts during development
• Product managers evaluating which model fits a use case
• Indie hackers who need quick prompt iteration without setting up a full environment
• Anyone who's tired of juggling multiple provider dashboards

---

What's Next

The core use case — test a prompt across multiple models — is fully functional and free. If there's interest, potential paid features:

• Batch testing (run 50 prompts, get 50 comparisons)
• A/B prompt comparison with metrics
• Export to CSV/JSON
• Team sharing

But for most individual use cases, the free version does the job.

Feedback welcome, especially from people who have existing prompt testing workflows — I'm curious what's missing compared to tools you already use.
