KURESSAARE – AI in office work

Have you already tried AI tools, or are you just starting out and not sure how to get real value from them at work? This workshop is for you. In three hours we look at how AI can help with e-mails, documents, tables and presentations, and find together the places in your work where it saves time. No programming skills are needed.

What we cover: 1) how to talk to AI: the answer is only as good as your question, and we show how to describe a task clearly so you get a usable result the first time; 2) texts and e-mails: drafting a letter, summarising a long document, simplifying an official text, and which text tasks AI handles well and where results need careful checking; 3) tables and data: reading a table, writing formulas and summarising data, without needing to know the formulas by heart; 4) AI tools: working in a browser chat window or in an app installed on your computer, the difference and when each suits you; 5) repeated work: many tasks recur almost identically every week, and we show how to give AI clear instructions once so that it can repeat the work later.

The practical part takes place on your own computer: choose one of your work tasks and complete it with AI from start to finish. You take home an understanding of what AI can and cannot do in the office, techniques for getting better answers, and one tested solution for your own task. The workshop suits anyone who writes e-mails and documents, fills in tables, makes presentations or keeps a calendar. Please bring a laptop and charger. The trainer is Kristjan Kesküla, a designer and developer with over 10 years of experience and a trainer with Kungla Koolitused OÜ. Participation is free; register through Fienta. Part of Arunädal and the Eesti.ai initiative "The most AI-smart nation".
