Wrapping Your Head Around AI and Your Workflow

Up until about 10 years ago I’ve worked primarily in the tech industry and marketing. Those geeky genes run deep for me, and while that is not my primary business anymore I’ve kept my hand in, and with the advent of machine learning, over the last few years, and the literal explosion of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI.

I’ve been loving using these tools to learn, research, improve my knowledge and writing abilities, brainstorm now projects and help clients with creating customized training and coaching programs that suit their needs. As a public speaker I’m working with organizations to train AI models to better understand human emotions and recognize patterns.

If you’re curious about these tools but daunted by a feeling you aren’t geeky enough, don’t worry, there are some amazing tools that you can easily use, and you most likely are using them already.

For example.

Do you have a smart phone, smart speaker, smart lights? or smart TV? Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Siri or a gazillion of customer service apps are in the background helping us out.

Grammarly helps fine tune writing skills to make that presentation or email sing.  

I frequently use Otter.ai to keep notes for meetings, send transcripts, list action items,  and it even make suggestions or generate status update emails.

Chat GPT, Gemini, Claude and Jasper are all great to do your research for you, write a great story or marketing materials. I often use these as a basis for my work whether teaching, coaching or writing this blog post. Each of these tools has it’s own way of being, so it’s good to experiment a bit and see which works best for you. Ask me if you want advice, I love helping people learn how to easily use these tools.

Canva is my current favorite to create images and videos for websites, social media, printing flyers, posters nr t-shirts using AI assisted graphics,

Lingolette, DuoLingo and Jumpspeak are amazing language apps that use AI to process actual conversations with an AI program in natural languages.

Gmail and Gemini
I could go on and on, but I’m really writing this because I’ve been sharing a lot lately how the combination of Gmail and Gemini has been a gamechanger for me in my cluttered, sloppy, overwhelmed Gmail account, and wanted to share it with you. So I’ve put together a free e-book with some tips and 50 ways you too can use Gemini and Gmail together. Happy new year! Grab your copy now.
