You'll know that I'm a big fan of the idea of creating prompt templates. So let me just quickly explain what I mean by that. I am really into the idea of systemizing as much as possible in our business, automating as much as possible. And so anything that we do frequently in our business where AI and tools like ChatGPT can help us, we can create prompt templates, in other words, standard prompts that we can use very easily to do a recurring task. And so I do recommend you start to build out prompt templates. Have a place where you have the prompts you use most frequently. And when you have regular recurring tasks, it might be, for example, analyzing financial statements. Anything you do frequently that's important. You want to make sure you have a well crafted prompt, because we know from prompt engineering that the better the prompt, the better the instructions you give, the better the result you'll get.
