Sure, AI is amazing at finding information, but using it just for searches is like having a smartphone that only makes calls. Plus, when you Google something these days, you're already getting AI-powered results - so let's think bigger! That's exactly why I'm hosting an in-depth workshop to help small businesses and nonprofits unlock AI's full potential.
Think of AI as Your Smartest Team Member
AI works best when you treat it like your smartest team member. The more context you give it, the better it performs. I always share exactly what I'm working on, who it's for, and what I'm trying to achieve. I even sometimes include a stream of consciousness paragraph while I think through what I'm doing. It's like briefing a brand new, starry-eyed colleague who's ready to tackle anything you throw their way.
My Favorite AI Hack
Here's a little trick I like to use: whenever I'm working through something complex and feel stuck or like I've thought of it all, I ask my fave AI (I'm team Claude, personally) if there's anything I'm missing or that I should be thinking of. The responses have been really helpful and thought provoking with angles I hadn't considered.
Free vs Premium: What's the Difference?
Speaking of powerful AI tools, there's a whole world out there beyond free Chat GPT. While free versions are great for dipping your toes in, the premium versions are where the magic really happens - think bigger projects, faster responses (and no limit on messages!), and way more capabilities. Plus, fewer AI hallucinations (Creepy right? Come to the workshop and let's chat about that weird term).
Join Me for a Hands-On Workshop
Want to learn how to make AI work for your business or nonprofit? Join me for an in-person workshop (including tasty sandwiches!) where we'll explore practical ways to use these tools to save time, spark creativity, and solve real-world problems. No technical background needed - just bring your curiosity and a project you'd like to tackle!
