The Generative AI Prompting Guide For Business Professionals
For all the reports of strong generative AI adoption, some knowledge workers may not know how to get started. This prompting guide can help. Generative AI (GenAI) innovation continues to rapidly evolve as tech companies seed the market with multimodal capabilities, reasoning models and AI agents, among other capabilities. Even with the enthusiasm and AI infrastructure powering this digital transformation, some organizations have moved more slowly to embrace GenAI. For every organization that boasts upwards of 1,000 use cases, others struggle to fully embrace AI in their daily routines. This is a missed opportunity. Applied properly, GenAI can be the ultimate brainstorming buddy, helping knowledge workers create content, shaving hours from their workstreams. Research suggests this is happening across all types of knowledge work, with employees using GenAI to draft and edit documents (64%), create marketing content (58%) and generate emails (56%) among several use cases, according to the Wharton School of Business and GBK Collective. This theory of GenAI as a productivity rocket booster is great but what does this look like in practice? Workers' mileage will vary per business function, but Dell and NVIDIA put together this prompting guide that imagines what it's like for business professionals to augment their work using GenAI. Let's imagine a workday in the life of knowledge worker Jane. At 8 a.m. Jane fires up her laptop and waits as her PC populates her screen with unread emails, status updates and other data feeds. While tackling this digital data dump can be daunting, Jane uses her corporate GenAI tool, a chatbot backed by a large language model, to reclaim the focus and productivity she may have lost to addressing each update. Jane starts by tackling routine email correspondence using prompts such as: Here is the text of an email I need to answer. Draft a succinct, polite, and professional reply that addresses any questions and provides clear next steps. Ensure the tone is friendly yet efficient: [COPY AND PASTE EMAIL] The next email response poses more of a challenge: I received an email with multiple questions. Based on the provided email text, break down the questions and draft a thorough response that includes clear explanations and next steps. The tone should be helpful, knowledgeable, and customer-focused: [COPY AND PASTE EMAIL] And on and on Jane goes, dispatching one email challenge after another by varying her prompts, accounting for shifts in content and supplying descriptors for her preferred tone. By 9 a.m., Jane is ready to tackle her next workstream: a high-priority research project, which includes synthesizing research reports into a presentation she's building for her leadership team. Leaning into 'prompt chaining,' an iterative technique that splits work into discrete steps, Jane uploads a PDF and prompts it to check for contextual understanding. Next, she asks the chatbot to summarize the content with an emphasis on identifying the main objective, methods and conclusions. She also asks the chatbot to translate complex technical jargon into plainer, business speak, and spotlight key metrics from the PDF. Over the remainder of the workday, Jane uses the chatbot to summarize and respond to instant messages; brainstorm content ideas; and prep for her leadership presentation, among other meetings. The GenAI tool is her trusted copilot, collaborating with her to be more efficient—and more productive. Those are just a smattering of prompting tips, more of which are included in the eBook. Ideally, this guide will help knowledge workers identify everyday tasks that are ripe for automation, unlocking greater productivity and creative value. At the least, it should provide support for some of the more mundane, repetitive tasks from which business professionals seek relief. Even if your organization is stacked with staff who are as savvy at prompting as they are at negotiating contracts or closing sales deals, they still require support from their organizations' IT departments. And IT departments need best-in-class AI infrastructure and trusted advisors who know how to run models efficiently. Dell Technologies and NVIDIA can help you leverage AI to drive innovation and achieve your business goals. The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA delivers capabilities to accelerate your AI-powered use cases, integrate your data and workflows and enable you to design your own AI journey for repeatable, scalable outcomes.

Trump attacks ‘third rate' biographer over claim president targeting Harvard because he didn't get in
Donald Trump has denied claims made by biographer Michael Wolff that he is attacking Harvard because he didn't get in. Trump lashed out at Mr Wolff in a TruthSocial post, calling him a "Third Rate Reporter" and stating that he never applied to Harvard, having graduated from the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania. Wolff presented his theory on The Daily Beast podcast, suggesting Trump holds a grudge against Ivy League schools because he didn't get into Harvard. Podcast host Joanna Coles said many people surrounding Trump went to Ivy League universities, including Vice President JD Vance, who went to Yale. The Trump administration has been accused of waging a "campaign of retribution" against Harvard, including rescinding permissions for international students. Trump unleashes TruthSocial tirade and blasts 'false' claim he is attacking Harvard because he didn't get in

Trump denies claims he was rejected from Harvard in late-night TruthSocial tirade
President Donald Trump has furiously denied claims that he was rejected from Harvard. Trump lashed out at Michael Wolff, the biographer who made the claim and has written about the president extensively, in a Truth Social post Monday evening. 'Michael Wolff, a Third Rate Reporter, who is laughed at even by the scoundrels of the Fake News, recently stated that the only reason I'm 'beating up' on Harvard, is because I applied there, and didn't get in,' Trump said. 'That story is totally FALSE, I never applied to Harvard. I graduated from the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania,' Trump continued. ' He is upset because his book about me was a total 'BOMB.' Nobody wanted it, because his 'reporting' and reputation is so bad!' It comes as the Trump administration has been accused of waging a 'campaign of retribution' against the university. Wolff presented his theory about the president last week on The Daily Beast Podcast to host Joanna Coles. 'It's also odd because so many of the people around Donald Trump went to Ivy League universities. Several of them went to Harvard Business School,' Joanna Coles pointed out. 'Obviously, JD Vance proudly went to Yale. So it does seem particularly odd, but perhaps he's also trying to stuff it to them.' 'It's important not to lend too much calculation and planning to anything he does,' Wolff responded. 'But the other thing is that, by the way, he didn't get into Harvard. So one of the Trump things is always holding a grudge against the Ivy Leagues.'

What's in Trump's big budget bill? From cuts to taxes and Medicaid, here's what to know
If Donald Trump gets his way, a long list of his policy priorities will all be enacted by a single law: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which would cut a swath of taxes, lengthen the wall on the border with Mexico and fund mass deportations. The U.S. President's plans would be paid for in part by cuts to spending on health care, food stamps, student loans and fighting climate change. Despite its spending cuts, the bill would cost up to US$3.2-trillion, according to modelling by the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, driving up the country's debt. The tax cuts, meanwhile, would mostly benefit the wealthiest Americans while the poorest would be made poorer, according to Wharton's estimates. Trump's new bill threatens major tax increases for Canadian companies These twin realities are making the bill controversial in Congress, raising the hackles of Republican deficit hawks while rallying the opposition Democrats against the cuts. The bill passed the House of Representatives last week by a single vote and now must get through the Senate. There, Mr. Trump will have to find a way to hold together as much of his caucus as possible to enact the centrepiece of his domestic policy agenda. Here is what's in the proposed law and what happens next. The bill's central provision is to make permanent a suite of temporary tax measures passed in Mr. Trump's first term, which otherwise would expire this year. These include cuts to most income tax rates, a larger standard deduction, higher gift and estate tax exemptions, and a cut to taxes on pass-through entities such as limited liability companies. The legislation would also increase the cap on the amount of state and local taxes – or SALT – that people can deduct from their federal taxes to US$40,000 from US$10,000. It would eliminate a US$200 tax on gun silencers in place since 1934. And it would decrease royalty rates paid by oil, gas and coal companies. Tony Keller: Trump is inverting everything The child tax credit, meanwhile, would temporarily rise to US$2,500 from US$2,000, and most tipped workers would receive a new tax deduction. Both measures would expire in 2028, Mr. Trump's last year in office. Unlike most of the rest of the bill, these two last measures have broad bipartisan support. A previous, Democratic-controlled Congress tried unsuccessfully to increase the child tax credit even further than the Big, Beautiful Bill would. The U.S. Senate this month, meanwhile, unanimously passed a stand-alone bill to take the tax off most income earned via tips. Mr. Trump's signature policy of cracking down on asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants would receive a huge cash injection under the bill. It includes US$46.5-billion to restart construction of the wall on the Mexican border, and more than US$6-billion to hire and retain more border guards. The aim is to build enough capacity for the U.S. to deport one million people annually. Other new spending includes US$150-billion in additional money for the defence department, including US$25-billion to start building the Golden Dome missile defence shield, which Canada is in talks to join. To partly offset the cost of the tax cuts, Congressional Republicans are targeting Medicaid – a program that provides government-funded health care to the poorest Americans – for a nearly US$700-billion cut by adding a requirement that recipients prove they are working. They are also not renewing some tax credits for people buying private insurance through the Obamacare system. The new Medicaid rules would take away health coverage from 8.6 million people, according to an estimate by the Congressional Budget Office. Opinion: The real goal of Trump's mass detention centres? Unlimited power Another provision would take US$267-billion out of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – or SNAP – popularly referred to as food stamps, which helps low-income Americans buy groceries. The bill would also put new restrictions on how much money people can take out in student loans and make repaying them more expensive. Lastly, the bill would eliminate or curb tax incentives for fighting climate change originally enacted by former president Joe Biden, including tax credits for clean electricity generation facilities, installing solar panels and buying electric vehicles. Other provisions would make it easier to drill for oil and gas on public land. Former Democratic House speaker Nancy Pelosi has branded the legislation 'Robin Hood in reverse' for cutting programs that help low-income Americans and delivering most of its benefits to people at the top of the ladder. The Wharton model estimates that 70 per cent of the benefits from the tax cuts will go to the top 10 per cent of income earners, while those in the bottom quintile would be poorer if the bill is passed than if it were not. Some moderate Republican senators may be willing to team up with the Democrats to prevent cuts to social spending. Alaska's Lisa Murkowski and Maine's Susan Collins, for instance, both helped tank Mr. Trump's 2017 effort to repeal Obamacare over that bill's proposal to slash Medicaid. On the other side of the ledger, fiscal conservatives are demanding more cuts to spending. Kentucky Republican Rand Paul described the proposed reductions as 'wimpy and anemic' on Fox News. Wisconsin's Ron Johnson, meanwhile, told CNN that senators would hold up the bill 'until the President gets serious about spending reduction and reducing the deficit.' Moody's downgraded the U.S.'s credit rating this month. Another intraparty flashpoint is the state and local tax deduction. Republicans in higher-tax Democratic-run states support it because it helps their constituents, while red-state Republicans see it as a subsidy for tax policies they oppose. The Republicans' 53-seat caucus means they can only afford to lose a handful of votes. Once they do pass something, they will then have to negotiate with the House over any changes they have made to it.
