AI Power Hour: LLMs and Their Differences 

with Gerlyn Tiigemäe

This 1-hour Power Hour is a practical, non-technical session designed for finance professionals who want clarity on large language models (LLMs) and how to use them responsibly at work.

The session focuses on what LLMs actually are, how they differ, and how to make informed choices between tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Gemini and others. We will also cover the key risks finance teams need to understand, including data privacy, hallucinations, and regulatory considerations.

Rather than live demos or technical deep dives, the session helps participants understand how the AI landscape fits together, so they can make informed decisions about tools, risks, and usage in their role.

In this session, participants will:

• Understand what LLMs are and how they work at a practical level

• Get a clear comparison of the most common LLM tools, including where Copilot fits in finance teams

• Learn the key risks and governance considerations when using AI in finance roles

• Understand the difference between free vs paid tools, and open vs closed models

• Learn a simple prompting structure that improves results in everyday finance tasks

• The goal of the Power Hour is to help participants leave with clearer judgment, better questions to ask internally, and more confidence in using AI tools appropriately in their role.

   

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

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.
