Working with presets

In Chapter 2, GPT 3 Applications and Use Cases, we briefly introduced presets in the Playground. Specifically, we looked at the English to French preset, but that's just one of many. Presets are like templates that provide an example prompt, along with the Playground settings. They are a great starting point for creating new prompts or as a tool for getting familiar with prompt design and setting usage.

There are a number of presets available, including the following:
