Tuesday Tip: A Delightful Dive Into the World of AI Assistants

May 14, 2024

Picture of a human hand with a robotic image on a black space background. AI assistants, chatbots, and machine learning will become an integral part of our daily lives, seamlessly blending technology and convenience. Here are some hints that will pique your interest and give you a glimpse into the fascinating world of these intelligent companions.

Learn the ‘How-To’

AI assistants are not search engines – they respond best to full sentences rather than just keywords. Engage in dialogue by using complete thoughts and questions. The more detail you provide, the better your result will be.

For tools like Perplexity or ChatGPT, think of it like speaking to a consultant you are meeting with for the first time. Provide detailed information, such as: “I work for a construction company in the metro Atlanta area, comprised of 30 individuals aged 25-52. I’m looking for fun and engaging team building exercises we can execute via an outdoor activity, with a strong focus on communication and teamwork. Please provide some options in 2 paragraphs or less and include pros and cons for each.”
If an answer doesn’t make sense, try rephrasing your question. This can help the AI assistant better understand your intent.
With most all platforms, ask follow up questions. For example, with Osito (an AI travel planner), you could say “The travel itinerary looks good, but could you provide more detail on the hotel options?”.

Remember, Safety First

Use only well-known, secure, and organization-approved AI tools. Verify the legitimacy of the AI platform before using it.
Never input personal identification information, financial details, or other sensitive data into AI chatbots. This information could be vulnerable to security incidents.
Always verify the accuracy of information provided by AI tools before relying on it. The data they use may be incomplete or outdated.
Disable chat history saving functions on AI chatbots to minimize the risk of your data being used or accessed inappropriately.

By understanding the unique capabilities of AI platforms, you can maximize the effectiveness of your interactions and get the most value from these digital assistants.
