Package Exports
- @promptbook/fake-llm
- @promptbook/fake-llm/esm/index.es.js
- @promptbook/fake-llm/umd/index.umd.js
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@promptbook/fake-llm) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

๐ The Book Whitepaper
For most business applications nowadays, the biggest challenge isn't about the raw capabilities of AI models. Large language models like GPT-5 or Claude-4.1 are extremely capable.
The main challenge is to narrow it down, constrain it, set the proper context, rules, knowledge, and personality. There are a lot of tools which can do exactly this. On one side, there are no-code platforms which can launch your agent in seconds. On the other side, there are heavy frameworks like Langchain or Semantic Kernel, which can give you deep control.
Promptbook takes the best from both worlds. You are defining your AI behavior by simple books, which are very explicit. They are automatically enforced, but they are very easy to understand, very easy to write, and very reliable and portable.

Aspects of great AI agent
We have created a language called Book, which allows you to write AI agents in their native language and create your own AI persona. Book provides a guide to define all the traits and commitments.
You can look at it as prompting (or writing a system message), but decorated by commitments.
Persona commitment
Personas define the character of your AI persona, its role, and how it should interact with users. It sets the tone and style of communication.

Knowledge commitment
Knowledge Commitment allows you to provide specific information, facts, or context that the AI should be aware of when responding.
This can include domain-specific knowledge, company policies, or any other relevant information.
Promptbook Engine will automatically enforce this knowledge during interactions. When the knowledge is short enough, it will be included in the prompt. When it is too long, it will be stored in vector databases and RAG retrieved when needed. But you don't need to care about it.

Rule commitment
Rules will enforce specific behaviors or constraints on the AI's responses. This can include ethical guidelines, communication styles, or any other rules you want the AI to follow.
Depending on rule strictness, Promptbook will either propagate it to the prompt or use other techniques, like adversary agent, to enforce it.

Action commitment
Action Commitment allows you to define specific actions that the AI can take during interactions. This can include things like posting on a social media platform, sending emails, creating calendar events, or interacting with your internal systems.

Where to use your AI agent in book
Books can be useful in various applications and scenarios. Here are some examples:
Chat apps:
Create your own chat shopping assistant and place it in your eShop. You will be able to answer customer questions, help them find products, and provide personalized recommendations. Everything is tightly controlled by the book you have written.
Reply Agent:
Create your own AI agent, which will look at your emails and reply to them. It can even create drafts for you to review before sending.
Coding Agent:
Do you love Vibecoding, but the AI code is not always aligned with your coding style and architecture, rules, security, etc.? Create your own coding agent to help enforce your specific coding standards and practices.
This can be integrated to almost any Vibecoding platform, like GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, Cursor, Cline, Kilocode, Roocode,...
They will work the same as you are used to, but with your specific rules written in book.
Internal Expertise
Do you have an app written in TypeScript, Python, C#, Java, or any other language, and you are integrating the AI.
You can avoid struggle with choosing the best model, its settings like temperature, max tokens, etc., by writing a book agent and using it as your AI expertise.
Doesn't matter if you do automations, data analysis, customer support, sentiment analysis, classification, or any other task. Your AI agent will be tailored to your specific needs and requirements.
Even works in no-code platforms!
How to create your AI agent in book
Now you want to use it. There are several ways how to write your first book:
From scratch with help from Paul
We have written ai asistant in book who can help you with writing your first book.
Your AI twin
Copy your own behavior, personality, and knowledge into book and create your AI twin. It can help you with your work, personal life, or any other task.
AI persona workpool
Or you can pick from our library of pre-written books for various roles and tasks. You can find books for customer support, coding, marketing, sales, HR, legal, and many other roles.

๐ The Promptbook Project
Promptbook project is ecosystem of multiple projects and tools, following is a list of most important pieces of the project:
| Project | About |
|---|---|
| Book language |
Book is a human-understandable markup language for writing AI applications such as chatbots, knowledge bases, agents, avarars, translators, automations and more.
There is also a plugin for VSCode to support .book file extension
|
| Promptbook Engine | Promptbook engine can run applications written in Book language. It is released as multiple NPM packages and Docker HUB |
| Promptbook Studio | Promptbook.studio is a web-based editor and runner for book applications. It is still in the experimental MVP stage. |

๐ Dictionary
The following glossary is used to clarify certain concepts:
General LLM / AI terms
- Prompt drift is a phenomenon where the AI model starts to generate outputs that are not aligned with the original prompt. This can happen due to the model's training data, the prompt's wording, or the model's architecture.
- Pipeline, workflow scenario or chain is a sequence of tasks that are executed in a specific order. In the context of AI, a pipeline can refer to a sequence of AI models that are used to process data.
- Fine-tuning is a process where a pre-trained AI model is further trained on a specific dataset to improve its performance on a specific task.
- Zero-shot learning is a machine learning paradigm where a model is trained to perform a task without any labeled examples. Instead, the model is provided with a description of the task and is expected to generate the correct output.
- Few-shot learning is a machine learning paradigm where a model is trained to perform a task with only a few labeled examples. This is in contrast to traditional machine learning, where models are trained on large datasets.
- Meta-learning is a machine learning paradigm where a model is trained on a variety of tasks and is able to learn new tasks with minimal additional training. This is achieved by learning a set of meta-parameters that can be quickly adapted to new tasks.
- Retrieval-augmented generation is a machine learning paradigm where a model generates text by retrieving relevant information from a large database of text. This approach combines the benefits of generative models and retrieval models.
- Longtail refers to non-common or rare events, items, or entities that are not well-represented in the training data of machine learning models. Longtail items are often challenging for models to predict accurately.
