Prompt APIs - Steamship: Build and Deploy in Seconds

Steamship empowers you to create and deploy production-ready Prompt APIs with ease. This guide walks you through the process, highlighting key features and benefits.

Getting Started: Three Simple Steps

Steamship streamlines the process of deploying your Prompt APIs to just three steps:

1. From Your Machine: Utilize Steamship's low-code library to customize your API using a few lines of Flask-style Python. The provided api.py file serves as a starting point, allowing for quick testing and modification locally.
2. Customization: Steamship's library lets you effortlessly chain prompts and other models, providing flexibility and control over your API's functionality. Modify api.py to tailor your API to specific needs.
3. Deploy & Share: Once your API is ready, deploy it with a single command (ship deploy). You can then share your API publicly or keep it private, depending on your requirements.
