Few-Shot Example Formatter
100% PrivateAI & Prompt ToolsTurn your input and output pairs into a clean, consistently labeled few-shot example block.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
Add at least one complete example pair (both an input and an output) to build the few-shot block.
- 1Type an instruction line if the block needs one (optional).
- 2Fill in at least one complete input and output pair; add more pairs with the button.
- 3Choose the label style that matches your prompt: Input/Output, Q/A or User/Assistant.
- 4Keep or remove the trailing empty prompt, then copy the block.
Instruction: "Classify the sentiment of each review." Pair 1: input "I love this film", output "positive". Pair 2: input "The food was cold", output "negative". Trailing empty prompt on. Result: Classify the sentiment of each review. Input: I love this film Output: positive Input: The food was cold Output: negative Input: Output:
- Pairs missing either the input or the output are skipped; if no pair is complete, the tool says so instead of producing an empty block.
- Two to five good examples usually beat ten sloppy ones; the formatter cannot judge example quality, only consistency.
- The labels are literal text. If your chat tool has its own few-shot or examples feature, use that instead of pasting a block.
Giving a model a few worked examples of the task inside the prompt, so it copies the pattern for the new input that follows. Zero examples is zero-shot; this tool formats the examples part.
About this tool
The Few-Shot Example Formatter turns your input and output pairs into a clean, consistently labeled block you can paste at the top of a prompt. Few-shot examples teach a model the pattern you want by showing it, and consistency is what makes them work: every pair gets the same labels (Input/Output, Q/A or User/Assistant), the same spacing, an optional instruction line, and an optional empty final prompt ready for the real input.
