One day on how AI assistants work, how to get a useful answer, where they get things wrong, and what is safe to type into one at work.
What you'll be able to do
- Explain in plain language what a large language model does and why fluent text is not the same as correct text.
- Describe the difference between an assistant answering from training and one answering from a document or a web search you gave it.
- Write a prompt that states the task, the reader, the constraints and the format you want back, instead of a one-line question.
- Turn a rough brief into a usable first draft and then edit it into your own voice rather than sending the machine's.
- Summarise a long document, email thread or transcript into decisions, actions and open questions.
- Sort a set of messy notes or free-text comments into themes and produce a short written summary of what they say.
