Prompting LLMs for decision briefs yields more actionable insights than summaries

02

Practical Tip

1. Replace generic 'summarize' prompts with a request for a 'decision brief' for a busy reader.
2. Instruct the model to state the primary decision the report is meant to inform in a single sentence.
3. Direct the model to extract 3 to 5 key findings that would actually change or influence that decision, omitting irrelevant details.
