  text: <jats:p>As a possible solution to the demographic change and the resulting
    knowledge loss due to retirements in the Energy sector, this study aimed to develop
    a generic pipeline to implement and evaluate proof-of-concepts (PoCs) for LLM-based
    assistance systems in new domains. Our pipeline contains an LLM-based data generation
    strategy based on documents, a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architecture
    utilizing prompting techniques on existing German LLMs, and an LLM-based automatic
    evaluation strategy. We leverage our pipeline to evaluate five LLMs using data
    from a German DSO. We found that the Llama3 and the Mistral model are appropriately
    aligned for the task. We plan to pilot the RAG architecture in the DSO's infrastructure
    for future research and continuously research improvements using the generated
    human demonstrations.</jats:p>
