I’m learning a lot about the AI inside mobile tools. Today I discovered I could use Google Gemini to look inside a folder containing notes I’m using to teach a digital transformation class. I’m pasting the Gemini summary below so this post will serve as both a preview and a recap of my teaching.
Gemini summary follows.
This deck is about digital transformation, with a focus on cognification and workflows, and is part of a curriculum co-developed with Larry G. Maguire and Frances O’Donnell.
The five key takeaways for productivity are: personal knowledge management, the limitations of free GPT, the need for strong fundamentals with Copilot and Acrobat, trustworthy GPTs deliver productivity, and the need to develop prompt engineering skills. Personal knowledge management is presented as the underpinning for effective transformation.
Free GPT has limits, and users often need a paid AI to easily interpret visual data. Strong fundamentals are needed with Copilot and Acrobat, and Microsoft 365 or Copilot Pro is required to extract PDF insights or produce slide decks from prompts.
Trustworthy GPTs can deliver productivity and make jobs easier while reducing daily workloads.
Prompt engineering skills are essential for effectively using AI tools.
The presentation also includes ten tips for using ChatGPT prompts and information on cognification and the road ahead. Activities in the deck include browsing a knowledge vault, setting up Copilot, using AI to describe a venue based on an interior shot, and a demo of PDF Insight.
Overall, the deck provides foundational knowledge on AI and digital transformation, emphasizing the importance of personal knowledge management, prompt engineering, and utilizing AI tools effectively.
