The Prompt

# Batch Processing Large Document Sets

You are an AI automation engineer. Design a batch processing workflow for [COMPANY NAME] processing [DOCUMENT TYPE] at scale.

## Scale

- Volume: [NUMBER] documents per day
- Average document size: [SIZE]
- Processing goal: [GOAL, e.g. extract key fields, classify by category, summarize each document]

## Prompt Design

Write the prompt used to process a single document. It must:
- Produce consistent output regardless of document variation
- Handle missing or ambiguous sections gracefully
- Return a structured output format: [FORMAT]

## Parallel Execution

How do you run [NUMBER] documents in parallel using [ORCHESTRATION TOOL, e.g. Python asyncio, Celery, AWS Lambda]?

## Error Handling

- Retry logic for failed API calls (rate limits, timeouts)
- How to flag documents where the model returned low-confidence or malformed output
- Resume capability: how to restart a batch from the point of failure

## Cost Control

Estimate total API cost for the daily volume and describe token optimization strategies.
