Studio

Build, version, and manage prompts in the Dakora web interface. Track executions, analyze costs, and optimize your AI operations.

Overview

Dakora Studio is the central hub for managing your AI operations. Build and version prompt templates, track every LLM execution with detailed analytics, monitor costs in real-time, and set budget controls - all without touching your codebase.

Studio gives you complete visibility into token usage, latency, and spending across models and prompts. Update templates in the visual editor and deploy instantly via the SDK. Identify optimization opportunities with cost breakdowns and execution traces.
