PAIDE – AI in office work

Do you already use ChatGPT for work tasks, but start every new task from an empty chat window? Or are you only getting to know AI and want to use it better in your daily work? In this practical workshop you learn to build an AI work assistant that knows the background of your tasks, follows the instructions you give it and can use the materials you need.

The centre of the workshop is the ChatGPT project feature, which gathers the instructions, background information and conversations for your work in one place, so that you do not have to explain everything from scratch for each new task. Topics include: AI as a daily work assistant for simplifying office work and repeated tasks; a normal conversation or an AI project, and when to use each; creating an AI project with a working environment for different tasks; giving AI a role, working principles and the desired output format; adding project documents and other background material so the AI can work from them; practical AI methods for meeting summaries, action plans, documents and business letters; checking the quality of results and data protection.

During the workshop each participant, with help from the trainer, creates their own AI project: an assistant for office work. We create the project and its tasks, write the instructions the assistant follows, add sample material, produce a meeting summary with AI, turn it into an action plan and follow-up e-mail, and then check and refine the results. Faster participants can try extra tasks. Sample materials are used; please bring a laptop and charger, and a basic familiarity with ChatGPT or another AI chat assistant is recommended (no prior project experience needed). The workshop uses short explanations, practice and discussion. Participation is free and places are limited.
