Use GenAI tools effectively

Generative AI tools are useful to us today. They can help us do some tasks better and other tasks quicker. AI tools, such as large language models, have been trained to provide relevant helpful responses to any questions we may pose to them. For example, they can:

• they can answer a question with useful relevant information,
• provide step-by-step instructions for a task, such as making an omelette
• draft a letter with the right tone and style, such as creating a job description
• review and suggest improvements to a document or text,
• brainstorm ideas on a topic, for example, suggest possible titles for a spy novel
• and explain a complex topic like CRISPR gene editing
• and summarise a document or set of web pages, such as this review.

Examples of how AI tools can make us more productive at work

AI tools can help us with the following types of task:

• provide step by step instructions to complete a task
• ask a question e.g. Who was Neil Armstrong?
• plan a task: plan activities for a day out in …
• brainstorm ideas: suggest a name of a pub quiz team
• review and suggest improvements an some text or a document
• and perform lots of technical/software tasks: e.g. explain an Excel formula, write SQL or Python code.
