Introduction
Get started with an overview of the platform and its capabilities.
If you’re ready to build your first task, head to the Tasks section. To understand the data workflow, learn about Datasets next.
Steps to Get Started:
- Step 1: Define Your Goal and Create a Task
- Step 2: Test and Edit Your Task
- Step 3: Run a Dataset on Your Task
- Step 4: Review, Filter, Search and Export
Introduction
PromptLoop allows teams to leverage AI to research, build, and enrich datasets at lightning speed. This is accomplished first and foremost in a way that is non-technical, simple, and does not require an advanced knowledge of AI systems or prompting, despite our name :).
Principles
- Flexible - Access to hundreds of models and functions under a simple task based editor. Focus on the inputs (information you have) and the outputs (information you are looking for).
- Accurate - PromptLoop tasks are designed to stay within the bounds of what has been tested to work well. Whether extracting information from a website or categorizing industry terms, you will receive formatted and sourced answers from reliable models only using the relevant input data.
- Transparent - PromptLoop tasks and capabilities are transparent to the teams that rely on them. See exactly what your tasks are accomplishing and the steps they take to get there. This allows for peace of mind and helps you improve them with edits.
PromptLoop is built to help you accomplish repeatable AI research and analysis tasks, taking in sets of inputs (usually in the form of rows in a dataset) and returning formatted responses based on the task that you select.
PromptLoop is built around data, and usage is measured in terms of how much data the system is finding and generating. We have detailed information on this /credits. For teams that need support growing their business with reliable tools and data, we offer team packages that are customized with both support and model capabilities. These include detailed onboarding to set you up with the tools that you need.

Core Concepts

-
Datasets - The repository for information you'll run tasks on. You can search, filter, save and share both inputs and outputs up to hundreds of thousands of rows. You can also generate new datasets automatically on the platform with searches.
-
Tasks - Actions for our system to accomplish for you. Tasks take inputs (like a website URL) and return outputs as new columns or rows in your dataset.
-
Integrations - Spreadsheets - All tasks can be used directly in Excel and Google Sheets for cell-specific operations.
Let's walk through the simple steps to get started:
Steps to Get Started
1. Start with a new Dataset
If you already have a dataset that you are working on, this will be your starting point. You can upload any Excel or CSV file, or use the dataset Generation tool to create a dataset.
Because the majority of PromptLoop Tasks related to websites, most datasets include a link or URL as a column. This is not required however and there are instances where you will use search terms, non-websites, or a specific text input for an action.
2. Creating a Task to run on the dataset
Your next step will be putting PromptLoop to work. Tasks are how you run AI research agents on your dataset. Creating a task is simple and testing and editing it allows for detailed controls to get repeatable results for each row.
- Navigate to the Tasks section in the top navigation
- Or select "Create New Task" to build a custom one
You can describe what you are looking for using some of the examples, and you will see a preview and step by step guide of how to create your first task.
Once you've created a task, you'll want to make sure it works as expected before running it on a full dataset.
Testing your task:
- Every task has a built-in test page
- Enter a sample input (like a website URL)
- Click "Run Test" to see what output your task produces
Tips for testing:
- Try 3-5 different examples that represent the range of inputs you'll use
- Check that the outputs follow the format you need
- Look for any unexpected results or errors
If the task doesn't produce exactly what you need, use the editor to refine it:
- Be specific about formatting requirements
- Clarify what information to extract
- Specify how to handle exceptions or missing data
3. Run the Task
Once your task is working correctly, it's time to run it on a full dataset. You can navigate back to the datasets tab and click on the row of the file you uploaded.
Launching a job:
- Navigate to your dataset and click the blue "Launch Job" button
- Select the task you want to run
- Map your dataset columns to the task inputs
- Click "Launch" to begin processing
Your job will run in the background, processing each row through your task. The system will show you progress in real-time:
All datasets and tasks are shareable throughout your organization. Team members can access, edit, and build upon each other's work.
4. Review, filter, search and export
When your job completes, your results will be saved as a new version of your dataset.
Reviewing results:
- Open your dataset to see the original inputs plus new output columns
- Use the search and filter options to examine specific results
- Verify that the data meets your needs
Working with your results:
- Sort columns to identify patterns
- Filter to focus on specific criteria
- Export the entire dataset or selected portions
- Save versions with meaningful names for future reference
This entire process - from creating a task to exporting results - can take just minutes but save dozens of hours of manual work.
