2Before You Begin

Here are a few things you need to do to ensure the best results when using the generative AI financial aid automation configuration toolkit.

Choose a Generative AI Tool

There’s a wide variety of generative AI tools out there—from powerful public models to flexible open-source options. Choosing the right one can make a big difference, so it’s worth taking the time to explore what fits best with your goals. Think about what matters most to you—whether it’s accuracy, how easily it integrates with your applications, or how much control you want over the results.

We recommend using OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4o and 4o-mini models. These models have consistently shown exceptional performance for generating commented Groovy code and handling complex prompts. The ChatGPT 4o and 4o-mini models provide clear, maintainable, and context-aware outputs, making them ideal for this task.

If you're already using a generative AI provider or exploring open-source solutions, feel free to choose the one you're most comfortable with and that delivers the best results for your use case. Key factors to consider when selecting an LLM include:

  • Model performance. You need to evaluate the quality of generated outputs, especially for structured tasks like code commenting and reviews.
  • Cost. Consider the pricing model and its alignment with your budget.
  • Data privacy. Verify the provider’s compliance with your organization’s data security and privacy requirements.

By choosing the appropriate tool, you can maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of your Groovy script development process.

Prepare Your Code

Ensure that your code is properly formatted. Make sure you remove sensitive data. Lastly, verify that the script type matches the prompt.

How to Use the Prompts

When using the prompts, make sure you don't change the context sections: it's important to keep original prompt structure intact.

How to Review the Generated Documentation

When reviewing the generated documentation, check that all sections are complete. Make sure you also check for correct method references. Also make sure that the business logic is correctly explained.
