Announcing prompt management in the Vertex AI SDK

As generative AI applications grow in sophistication, development workflows become more fragmented. Although AI can be a force multiplier, teams may design prompts in one environment, manage versions in spreadsheets or text files, and then manually integrate them into their code. This leads to inefficiencies, versioning chaos, and collaboration bottlenecks. 

Vertex AI Studio is designed to solve this. It offers a powerful collaborative workspace for testing and managing prompts within the Google Cloud console. Today, we are announcing the General Availability (GA) of Prompt Management in the Vertex AI SDK, a new set of capabilities designed to bring control, scalability, and enterprise-readiness to your prompt management workflow. Some key benefits: 

  • Programmatic prompt management: Create, version, and manage prompts directly within the Vertex AI SDK. 

  • Seamless UI-to-SDK experience: Move effortlessly between designing prompts in Vertex AI Studio and managing them at scale with the SDK.

  • Enhanced collaboration: Share and reuse prompts as a team by managing them as a centralized resource within your Google Cloud project.

  • Enterprise-ready: Available for everyone with full support, including CMEK and VPCSC for your security and compliance needs.

Let’s take a look at how you can manage your prompts using the Vertex SDK. 

How it works: prompts as code

The Vertex AI SDK empowers you to treat your prompts as a versioned asset in your application. You can create, retrieve, update, and manage your prompts with just a few lines of Python code, enabling powerful new workflows. 

Whether you prefer the visual interface of Vertex AI Studio or the programmatic power of the SDK within your own environment, your prompts are a managed resource within your Google Cloud project — easy to track, share, and reuse. Design and test a prompt in the Studio UI, and then use the SDK to programmatically manage versions at scale. Furthermore, this GA launch comes with enterprise support, including Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) and VPC Service Controls (VPCSC) to help protect your assets. 

Imagine you want to create a new prompt. With the SDK, it’s as easy as this:

code_block
<ListValue: [StructValue([(‘code’, ‘import vertexairnrn# Instantiate a clientrnclient = vertexai.Client(project=PROJECT_ID, location=LOCATION)rnrn# Define a prompt objectrnprompt = {rn “prompt_data”: {rn “contents”: [rn {rn “parts”: [rn {rn “text”: “Hello, {name}! How are you?”rn }rn ]rn }rn ],rn # variables replace templates in a prompt, i.e. {name} in this promptrn “variables”: [rn {rn “name”: {rn “text”: “Alice”rn }rn }rn ],rn “model”: “gemini-2.5-flash”rn }rn}rnrn# Create a prompt in Vertexrnprompt_resource = client.prompts.create(rn prompt=prompt,rn)’), (‘language’, ‘lang-py’), (‘caption’, <wagtail.rich_text.RichText object at 0x7fb50a28a040>)])]>

Prompt management in the SDK unlocks a world of possibilities to streamline your workflow. Work with the latest version of your prompt, easily view a comprehensive list of project prompts, and delete prompts that are extraneous to your team’s work.
