Introducing Prompt Formatting: Clearer Structure, Better Agents

Prompts are the heart of every Syllable AI agent. They define how your agents think, speak, and make decisions. And as your use cases get more advanced, prompts often grow more detailed and context-rich.

To make this easier, cleaner, and more powerful, we’re introducing Rich Prompt Formatting - a new way to write prompts using Markdown directly inside the Syllable Console.

With headings, bold text, lists, and structured sections, you can now organize complex instructions with far more clarity. Better structure doesn’t just help humans - it consistently improves LLM performance too.

Why Formatting Matters

Large prompts can quickly become hard to read. Important rules blend into long paragraphs, tool instructions get buried, and updating logic becomes risky and error-prone. Rich formatting solves that.

Markdown support lets you:

Create cleaner, more readable prompts - Use headings, bullet points, bold text, and separators to give structure to complex instructions.

Insert tools as dynamic variables - Directly embed tools and data sources into your prompt using variable syntax, keeping everything flexible and up to date.

Organize multi-step logic with ease - Break out sections for behavior guidelines, safety constraints, tool usage rules, tone preferences, and edge-case handling.

This makes your prompts easier to read, easier to debug, and easier to explain to teams collaborating across product, design, engineering, and operations.

How It Works

• Log in to the Syllable Console

• Navigate to Prompts and select the prompt you want to edit

• Start typing - the formatting toolbar appears automatically

• Add headings, lists, bold text, and variables directly into the prompt

• Save your updates and check the Version History to see your Markdown-rendered structure

Markdown renders directly into the prompt preview, so you can instantly see how your instructions are organized.

AI Use Cases - Smarter Structure = Better Agents

When your prompt is easier to read and logically organized, LLMs behave more consistently. Clear formatting helps models distinguish sections, follow rules, and apply instructions with fewer errors.

This feature is especially helpful for:

• Contact centers with detailed workflows

• Healthcare use cases with strict safety instructions

• Enterprise teams managing multiple tools and data sources

• Complex logic that benefits from step-by-step breakdowns

Whether you’re fine-tuning tone, crafting rules for tool usage, or managing multi-channel logic, rich formatting gives you more control and clarity.
