Tailor your report to your needs

When you create a prompt, you ask the Generative AI to try to find a fitting answer of what you want in the information that you saved. This includes the abstracts and higlights you saved. For websit

Thoughtfully curated and efficiently saved documents on the universe can bring a great start and add value to your reporting. But how can this process be optimized? The answer lies in the concept of Prompting with Generative AI! This is a technique that leverages the potency of modern-day Generative AI technology to streamline your report creation process, and allow you to focus on finding and saving the documents, and worry less on the report. We are continually improving this capability with new innovative features in our testing funnels innovative features such as detailed requirement extraction per paper and automatic technology overview generation.

Understanding Prompting

At present, our AI-report generation tool operates by browsing the top five documents and highlights related to the question you are asking. It evaluates their relevance in relation to the inquiry made and uses the most pertinent information for generating reports. This can serve multiple purposes:

• For a comprehensive introduction or general description, this tool helps write quickly and briefly the attention points you want to bring to your audience in one-shot.

• For detailed responses combining various aspects, breaking down your prompt or employing additional tools is ideal and allows you to create a deeper granularity of your report.

Different prompting methods can provide control over your reporting. The process might necessitate some iterations to find the perfect prompt. Consider this a conversation between your request and the answer. If the output doesn’t quite hit the mark or if there is useful information not being reflected, reconsidering your prompt could improve your results.

Access the AI-report generation menu called Ask IGOR^AI . (Please look into Build Reports with AI for more information).

For our current purposes, we will use the Question&Answer option.

Customize your report

Step 1: Define your report template and content.

To sculpt the structure of your report, you may use an existing template on our platform or craft it based on the following considerations:

• Who constitutes my audience?

• Is a general description of the technology enough, or required?

• What are the important parameters to include in my report?

• Should they be presented separately or is a summary sufficient?

As an example, a technology scouting project at Findest will follow a grid that is succinct yet sufficient for decision-making:

1. General description of the entity, and why it is connected to the study to be explored

2. A summary of an example of the technology applications and why it is relevant to the current study and with references proving it has been used for that purpose.

3. A representation of example requirements, metrics or KPI of the technology that help to assess it’s usability.

4. An example of active partners and supplier on the project to help assess the technology maturity.

Step 2: Begin with a General Description

A quick, general overview may suffice for your immediate report needs. To generate it, cou can guide the AI-tool to adhere to a specific report structure. For example, while exploring the field of ultrasonic welding inspection, you could use the following prompt

Write a 50-word paragraph on the General Description of Ultrasonic Welding Inspection technology. Follow it with a 50 word summary of its applications in a new paragraph. Lastly, add three bullet points of maximum 30 words summarizing information on 1: technology efficiency, 2: Type of material used, and 3: Key learnings

You can re-use this prompt and replace it with your technology, context and requirement by copy-pasting it into the AI-aid tool!

This prompt will produce the following report in 1 to 2 minutes.

Alternatively, if you already have the structure laid out, you can prompt the AI-tool to populate it with suitable information. This auto-populates the structure based on the top five most relevant documents related to your query.

I want my report to look like this. Fill in the information about the technology that is Reverse Osmosis

1. Introduction: general description of the technology (max 50 words)

2. Example of applications of the technology (max 30 words)

3. Pros and cons: Pros and cons of the technology (max 30 words)

4. Efficiency: information on the water amount treated with the technology (max 30 words)

5. Materials: Example of materials used in the membranes of the technology (max 30 words)

If you are happy with this level of detail, you can move on to the next entity.

Copy-paste your prompt somewhere, and keep using the word Technology in the prompt. This will allow you to use it on every entity of your current study.

Step 3: Not satisfied with the level of details? Break it down into sub-parts

Sometimes, owing to content aggregation, to the top 10 papers related to your question, certain desired details may be missing. To overcome this and increase the granularity, you can ask specific questions for every sub-section of your report.

For example, if your section addresses the amount of water treated, ask for a detailed example of that question.

A 50 words description with the details and example of how much water can be handled with reverse osmosis desalination

In the next section of your report, you could be interested in the types of material used in the technology. Therefore, you tailor your prompt to that question

To help your colleagues read quicker through your results, you can ask the AI to put some words in bold!

Step 4: Looking for More Depth?

Craving higher specificity and fidelity to original documents? The detailed requirement extraction can help. This option allows you to record every requirement and link it directly to the source document.

Summary:

To speed up your reporting, leverage the capabilities of our generative AI tool. Beginning with a general description, and if not sufficient and moving towards detailed sub-sections will help create an informative and engaging report. This approach will undoubtedly boost your productivity!
