# Create Prompt Template

> You can create prompts in Athina's Prompt Playground, or via API

Athina's prompt management system allows you to create prompts on the platform.

### Create a Prompt on Athina Playground

To create a prompt:

1. Open [https://app.athina.ai.ai/prompt](https://app.athina.ai.ai/prompt) and click `New Prompt`.

2. Enter a name for your prompt.

3. Write your prompt in the editor, and click run to test it out.

4. When you are done, click `Commit` to save a new version for your prompt.

<Tip>
  Until you commit your prompt, it will not be accessible via API. You can
  commit your prompt at any time by clicking the `Commit` button.

### Create a Prompt Programmatically

    ```python
    import os
    from athina_client.prompt import Prompt, Slug
    from athina_client.keys import AthinaApiKey

    AthinaApiKey.set_key(os.getenv('ATHINA_API_KEY'))

    Prompt.create_prompt(
        slug='test-staging',
        prompt=[{
            "role": "system",
            "content": "You are an AI that answers questions in less than 50 words"
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "what does {{company}} does?"
        }],
        model="gpt-4o",
        commit_message="Staging default prompt",
        parameters={
            "temperature": 0.5
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="curl">
    ```bash

    curl
    --location 'http://api.athina.ai/api/v1/prompt/[PROMPT_SLUG]' \
    --header 'athina-api-key: ATHINA_API_KEY' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{
    "prompt": [{
    "role": "system",
    "content": "You are an AI that answers questions in less than 50 words"
    },
    {
    "role": "user",
    "content": "{{question}}"
    }],
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "parameters": {
    "temperature": 1
    },
    "commit_message": "Initial commit"
    }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Tip>
  You can call the API with a `prompt_slug` that already exists to create a `prompt_template` with an incremented `version`.

  If the `prompt_slug` does not exist, a new `prompt_template` will be created with version `1`.

  See the [Prompt Versioning](/prompts/prompt-versioning) page for more information on versioning prompts.
