In Prompts We Trust

Live prompt demos use GPT‑4 and 3.5, Azure OpenAI and Azure AI Studio Prompt Flow with LangChain‑style chaining to show concrete gains: few‑shot and role prompts improve style, Chain‑of‑Thought and Tree‑of‑Thought fix arithmetic and reasoning errors, and tweaking temperature/top‑p/penalties changes creativity versus reliability. Retrieval‑augmented generation pulls indexed PDFs from blob storage and returns sources to reduce hallucinations. The presenter builds a RAG-backed TikTok trend assistant and a LinkedIn recommendation generator live — both work but require iterative prompting and grounding to be dependable.
