February 18, 2025 @ 2pm ET: Getting Real Value from AI: Prompting Clinic

  • The main way most people are using generative AI is through chatbots, and that means "prompting." As many have discovered, there are better, and worse, ways to get answers from a ChatBot. In this session, we'll go hands on with ChatGPT to learn some tricks and ways of thinking about using these tools in useful and surprising ways. Participants are encouraged, but not required, to sign into their own ChatGPT account and follow along. We'll save time after the scheduled webinar for troubleshooting and Q&A.

    There is more and more talk about "AI Agents," which is another way of saying getting AI to do more than just respond to prompts. In this session we'll create a custom GPT, give it some instructions, and connect it to some common software tools through Zapier. We'll do all of this without a single line of code, just connecting dots and giving thoughtful instructions. Participants are encouraged, but not required, to sign into their own ChatGPT account and follow along. We'll save time after the scheduled webinar for troubleshooting and Q&A
