It walks through building a system prompt template for report writing inside Enterprise h2oGPTe's Prompt Catalog, covering how to define the AI's role, outline a report structure with introduction, analysis, recommendations, and conclusion sections, set a professional tone, and format the output with headings and bullet points. It finishes by applying the new template to a chat linked to a document collection and reviewing the output.
