Exploratory Prompting of Large Language Models to Act as Co-Pilots for Augmenting Business Process Work in Document Classification

Businesses deal with different types of documents containing unstructured documents. The data in these documents must be converted into digital forms other automated systems could only process. One generic use case is document classification, which usually involves manual transformation due to human...
