Prompt Engineering

Prompt Engineering refers to the process of designing and constructing effective prompts to elicit specific responses from an AI system. It involves creating well-structured instructions or queries to guide AI models’ output generation. Through prompt engineering, AI researchers and developers aim to improve the accuracy, relevance, and quality of the AI system’s responses by shaping its behavior with carefully crafted prompts.

Some types of prompts include:

Text Summarization
Question Answering
Text Classification and Sentiment Analysis
Expansion
Tone Adjustment
Spell-Check/ Grammar-Check
Multi-tasking

Let’s try this out with some examples.

Model Selection

Make sure to select the desired model before running each prompt. This is required for each new prompt.

Text Summarization

This example tasks the LLM with condensing and summarizing a given text. The text is expected to be distilled into a concise summary of no more than 30 words. The focus is on extracting the most salient points and presenting them in a succinct manner, ensuring that the essence of the original content is retained without excessive verbosity. This format is designed to challenge the LLM’s capability to discern key details and convey them efficiently. For this example we have taken 2 pages from the SAP annual report on Independent Assurance Practitioner’s Report by KPMG.

Review: Independent Assurance Practitioner's Report
To the Supervisory Board of SAP SE, Walldorf
We have performed a limited assurance engagement on the non-financial statement of SAP SE (further "Company" or "SAP") and on the non-financial statement of the parent company that is combined with it, which are published in the Management Report, (further "combined non-financial statement") for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2022.
Responsibilities of Management
Management of the company is responsible for the preparation of the combined non-financial statement in accordance with Sections 315c in conjunction with 289c to 289e HGB ["Handelsgesetzbuch": German Commercial Code] and Article 8 of REGULATION (EU) 2020/852 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of June 18, 2020 on establishing a framework to facilitate sustainable investment and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 
(hereinafter the "EU Taxonomy Regulation") and the Delegated Acts adopted thereunder, as well as for making their own interpretation of the wording and terms contained in the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the delegated acts adopted thereunder as set out in section "Sustainable Finance: EU Taxonomy Disclosures" 
of the combined non-financial statement.
This responsibility includes the selection and application of appropriate non-financial reporting methods and making assumptions and estimates about individual non-financial disclosures of the group that are reasonable in the circumstances. 
Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as they consider necessary to enable the preparation of a combined non-financial statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The EU Taxonomy Regulation and the Delegated Acts issued thereunder contain wording and terms that are still subject to considerable interpretation uncertainties and for which clarifications have not yet been published in every case. Therefore, management has disclosed their interpretation of the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the Delegated Acts adopted 
thereunder in section "Sustainable Finance: EU Taxonomy Disclosures" of the combined non-financial statement. 
They are responsible for the defensibility of this interpretation. Due to the immanent risk that indeterminate legal terms may be interpreted differently, the legal conformity of the interpretation is subject to uncertainties.
Independence and Quality Assurance of the Assurance Practitioner's firm
We have complied with the independence and quality assurance requirements set out in the national legal provisions and professional pronouncements, in particular the Professional Code for German Public Auditors and Chartered Accountants (in Germany) and the quality assurance standard of the German Institute of Public Auditors (Institut der Wirtschaftsprufer, IDW) regarding quality assurance requirements in audit practice (IDW QS 1).
Responsibility of the Assurance Practitioner
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion with limited assurance on the combined non-financial statement based on our assurance engagement.
We conducted our assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised): "Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of

 To Our Stakeholders
    Combined Group Consolidated Financial Further Information on Management Report Statements IFRS Sustainability
  Additional Information
  Historical Financial Information" issued by the IAASB. This standard requires that we plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether any matters have come to our attention that cause us to believe that the company's non-financial statement, is not prepared, in all material respects, 
  in accordance with Sections 315c in conjunction with 289c to 289e HGB and the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the Delegated Acts issued thereunder as well as the interpretation by management disclosed in section "Sustainable Finance: EU Taxonomy Disclosures" of the combined non-financial statement. We do not, however, issue a separate conclusion for each disclosure.
In a limited assurance engagement, the procedures performed are less extensive than in a reasonable assurance engagement, and accordingly, a substantially lower level of assurance is obtained. The selection of the assurance procedures is subject to the professional judgment of the assurance practitioner.
In the course of our assurance engagement we have, among other things, performed the following assurance procedures and other activities:
– Interviewing employees responsible for the materiality analysis at group level in order to obtain an understanding on the approach for identifying key issues and related reporting limits of SAP,
– Carrying out a risk assessment, inclusive of media analysis, on relevant information on sustainability performance of SAP in the reporting period,
– Assessing the design and implementation of systems and processes for identifying, handling, and monitoring information on environmental, employee and social matters, human rights and combating corruption and bribery, including the consolidation of data,
– Interviewing staff on group level, who are responsible for the disclosures on concepts, due diligence processes, results and risks, the performance of internal control activities and the consolidation of the disclosures,
– Inspecting selected internal and external documents,
– Analytically assessing the data and trends of the quantitative information, which is reported on group level of all locations,
– Evaluating the local data collection, validation, and reporting processes as well as the reliability of the reported data by means of a sampling survey at two locations,
– Interviewing of responsible staff on group level to obtain an understanding of the approach to identify relevant economic activities in accordance with the EU taxonomy,
– Evaluating the design and implementation of systems and procedures for identifying, processing, and monitoring information on turnover, capital expenditures and operating expenditures for the taxonomy-relevant economic activities for the first two environmental objectives climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation,
– Evaluating the data collection, validation, and reporting processes, as well as the reliability of the reported data for the taxonomy-aligned economic activities in conjunction with the assessment of the technical evaluation criteria for the substantial contribution, the fulfilment of the DNSH-criteria and the documentation of the minimum safeguard,
– Assessment of the overall presentation of the disclosures.
In determining the disclosures in accordance with Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation, management is required to interpret undefined legal terms. Due to the immanent risk that undefined legal terms may be interpreted differently, the legal conformity of their interpretation and, accordingly, our assurance engagement thereon are subject to uncertainties.

Question Answering

This example instructs the LLM to formulate a concise response to a specific question, with the context provided for reference. If the LLM is uncertain about the correct answer based on the provided context, it is instructed to reply with “Unsure about answer”, offering a clear acknowledgment of uncertainty rather than providing potentially inaccurate information. This example takes a part of a memo by Christian Klein from SAP Annual report.
