HumanLoop Shutdown: Guide to Migrating Your Prompts and Evals to PromptLayer

HumanLoop is shutting down on September 8, 2025. If you're among the many teams who relied on HumanLoop for prompt management, evaluations, and observability, you need to act fast. The good news? PromptLayer offers everything HumanLoop did—and more.

What is PromptLayer?

PromptLayer is a comprehensive prompt engineering platform that serves as the "Git for prompts." Founded in 2023, it provides:

  • Prompt Registry: Version control and management for all your prompts
  • Evaluations: Automated testing to ensure prompt quality
  • Observability: Complete logging and analytics for LLM interactions
  • Collaboration: No-code interface for non-technical team members
  • A/B Testing: Built-in experimentation capabilities

PromptLayer was built from day one to empower both engineers AND domain experts (doctors, lawyers, marketers) to collaborate on AI development.

1:1 Feature Mapping: HumanLoop → PromptLayer

Here's how HumanLoop features map directly to PromptLayer:

HumanLoop Feature PromptLayer Equivalent Notes
Prompt Files & Version Control Prompt Registry Git-like versioning with diffs, commit messages, and rollback
Datasets Datasets/Regression Sets Import CSV/JSON, create test cases
Evaluators Evaluations Code, LLM-based, regex, semantic similarity, and human evaluations
Logs Request Logs Complete request/response logging with metadata
Monitoring Dashboard Analytics Dashboard Token usage, latency, success rates, cost tracking
Flows/Agents Agents Native agent support + framework integration
API/SDK API/SDK Python and JavaScript libraries
Team Collaboration Team Workspaces Comments, activity logs, role-based access
Model Proxy Logging Wrapper Drop-in replacement for OpenAI/Anthropic calls
Online Evaluations A/B Testing Live traffic splitting and evaluation

All that, plus some more features.

PromptLayer isn't just a replacement—it's an upgrade:

1. Better Collaboration Features

  • Threaded comments on prompt changes
  • WYSIWYG no-code editor designed for non-engineers
  • Domain experts can directly experiment without touching code

2. More Powerful Evaluations

  • Conversation Simulator: Test multi-turn agent interactions
  • Spreadsheet-like Pipeline: Chain multiple evaluation types
  • 6-minute code execution: More time for complex evaluations
  • Built-in eval templates for common use cases

3. Superior A/B Testing

  • Native A/B testing with traffic splitting
  • Real-time performance comparison
  • No code changes needed—just toggle in the UI

4. Native Agents + Framework Flexibility

  • Built-in Agents feature for complex workflows
  • Also works with ANY LLM framework (LangChain, OpenAI Functions, etc.)
  • Not locked into a proprietary agent runtime
  • Use your preferred tools while getting PromptLayer's benefits

5. Active Development

  • Well-funded with recent seed round (2025)
  • Rapid feature releases based on user feedback
  • Direct access to founders for support

Quick Migration Guide

Step 1: Export Your HumanLoop Data (Before Sept 8!)

  • Prompts and versions
  • Evaluation datasets and results
  • Logs and feedback
  • Use HumanLoop's API endpoints for export

Step 2: Set Up PromptLayer

# Install PromptLayer
pip install promptlayer

# Initialize with your API key
import promptlayer
promptlayer.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Step 3: Import Your Prompts

  • Create prompts in PromptLayer's Registry
  • Copy prompt templates and versions
  • Add metadata and comments for context

Step 4: Recreate Evaluations

  • Upload test datasets (CSV/JSON supported)
  • Rebuild evaluators using PromptLayer's evaluation types
  • Run baseline evaluations to verify parity

Step 5: Update Your Code

# Before (HumanLoop)
from humanloop import Humanloop
hl = Humanloop(api_key="...")

# After (PromptLayer)
from promptlayer import PromptLayer
pl = PromptLayer(api_key="...")

Step 6: Start Logging

  • Replace API calls with PromptLayer's wrapper
  • Verify logs appear in the dashboard
  • Set up any needed alerts or monitoring
