Heroku AI Studio is Your Workspace for Smarter, Faster AI Apps

Ever found yourself in the endless loop of tweaking a prompt, running your code, and waiting to see if you finally got the output you wanted? That slow, frustrating feedback cycle is a common headache for AI developers. What if you could speed that up and get back to what you do best? Let’s focus on building amazing applications.

We’re excited to introduce Heroku AI Studio, a new set of tools designed to streamline your generative AI development from prompt to production. We’ve focused on creating a more intuitive and efficient workflow, so you can focus on innovation instead of wrestling with your development environment. When using the Heroku Managed Inference and Agents add-on, this new tool is about to become an essential part of your workflow.

Heroku AI Studio: your interactive AI workspace

Heroku AI Studio is your interactive workspace for the Heroku Managed Inference and Agents add-on. It allows you to directly engage with the underlying models and tools you’ve provisioned. Think of it as a real-time sandbox where you can experiment freely, understand model behavior, and fine-tune your prompts to get the exact output your application needs.

Key benefits for developers

Heroku AI Studio is more than just a testing tool; it’s a complete environment for rapid prototyping and iteration. Here’s how it helps you build better AI features, faster:

• Understand model nuances: Get a feel for the strengths and subtleties of your provisioned AI model by experimenting with different prompts and parameters in real time. This will help you quickly learn how to get the best results.
• Tune prompts with efficiency: Now, you can tune and refine your prompts directly in the studio. Iterate on instructions and text until they’re perfect, and then seamlessly integrate them into your application.
• Ensure appropriate and effective tool use: AI Studio provides affordances to ensure that tool use is effective and appropriate for your specific use case, leading to more reliable and predictable outcomes.
• Integration into your code: The studio provides built-in guidance and example code snippets to make the integration into your application’s codebase as smooth as possible.

Getting started with Heroku AI Studio

If you already have a Heroku Managed Inference and Agents add-on provisioned for your app, you can get started in just a few clicks:

1. Navigate to your app’s Resources page in the Heroku Dashboard.
2. Click on your Heroku Managed Inference and Agents add-on from the resource list.
