AI Power Hour: Prompting Best Practices

with Gerlyn Tiigemäe  

This 1-hour Power Hour is a practical session focused on how to communicate effectively with large language models (LLMs) to get reliable, usable results in finance-related work.

The session starts with a very brief refresher on LLMs and then moves quickly into prompting. The emphasis is on why traditional “Google-style” searching does not work well with AI tools, and how moving to clear, structured instructions significantly improves output quality.

Participants will learn different prompting approaches and then go deeper into a structured 5-part prompting technique that can be reused across tools and use cases. The session includes live examples based on common finance workflows rather than abstract or marketing-style prompts.

In this session, participants will: 

• Understand why effective prompting is a core skill when working with AI

• Learn different prompting techniques and when to use them

• Apply a clear 5-part prompting structure that works across LLM tools

• See practical, finance-related prompt examples used live

• Learn how to improve, test, and validate AI-generated results

• Understand how prompting differs for regular chat models, reasoning models, and deep research tools

The session includes 45 minutes of content followed by a 15-minute Q&A, allowing participants to ask questions and discuss their own prompts and use cases.

In this session, participants will: 

• Understand what AI assistants are and how they differ from standard AI chat tools

• Learn where assistants add value in finance roles, and where they do not
