What is Prompt Tracking?

Prompt Tracking is the process of organizing prompts, running prompts over time, and recording outcomes such as answers, citations, and mentions. Prompt Tracking focuses on continuity, history, and comparability across runs.

Quick definition

Prompt Tracking means keeping a consistent record of what prompts were run and what responses were returned.

How Prompt Tracking works

• Prompt Tracking assigns stable identifiers to prompts so results are comparable.
• Prompt Tracking stores run metadata such as date, provider, and parameters.
• Prompt Tracking allows trend analysis of prompt performance and prompt visibility.
• Prompt Tracking often uses a prompt index to keep prompt lists stable.

Why Prompt Tracking matters

Prompt Tracking matters because one-off prompt tests do not show stability or change.

Prompt Tracking helps:

• measure persistence of AI visibility
• identify when an answer changes after a model update
• compare performance across prompt sets and intents

Example use cases

• Tracking a single prompt across daily runs to measure volatility.
• Tracking prompt coverage across multiple intents for the same topic.
• Tracking citation rank when an interface returns ranked sources.
