JÕHVI – AI in office work

AI helps write e-mails, summarise documents, tidy meeting notes and prepare reports. Thoughtful use makes everyday tasks faster and helps you pick out the important points from large amounts of information. In this practical workshop we solve real office tasks. You learn to give AI clear instructions, add the necessary background and turn the answer into a usable result. We go through the whole process, from wording the task to checking and polishing the output, and look at practical tips for working more smartly with AI.

For office workers, specialists and managers who want to use AI for everyday tasks, including those who have so far tried AI only a little. Important concepts and methods are explained through practical examples. You will: map the tasks where AI can save time and improve results; write precise prompts, stating goal, background and desired output; practise e-mails and official texts, adapted to the audience; make summaries, comparisons and short reports from documents; turn meeting notes into an action plan with owners and deadlines; adapt AI answers to your role and writing style; try practical tricks, such as asking AI to pose clarifying questions, splitting tasks into stages and improving answers with concrete feedback; and look at AI skills, meaning reusable work instructions, how to create them and use them.

By the end you can find at least three tasks where AI helps, give AI a clear brief and materials, produce structured outputs from documents and notes, build a simple AI skill for a recurring task, assess the quality of answers and check key claims, and use the tested methods in your daily work. Bring a laptop and charger, and set up an account in an AI tool such as ChatGPT or Gemini. It helps to bring one task you want to simplify. Practice uses public materials or anonymised examples. If you do not have a personal laptop, let us know and we will arrange equipment. The trainer is Olari Miiter, an entrepreneur and AI adoption strategy specialist who has trained teams in more than 20 companies, run over 40 online courses and shared AI skills with more than 2,700 participants.
