Have you been meaning to try one of these AI tools but never quite known where to start? Do you have meeting recordings to write up, figures to turn into something presentable, and emails you've been putting off? Have you tried once, got an odd answer, and left it at that?
This workshop is ideal for researchers, HDR candidates and research professional staff who want a practical first session with generative AI. No coding is required and no prior experience is assumed. We start with the interface, and you will be typing your first prompt within minutes.
Following one research assistant through a single afternoon of real tasks, you will use AI to turn a messy meeting transcript into notes, build a table and an infographic from figures read aloud in a meeting, draft a protocol change in line with institutional policy, and create a draft communications piece in a specific genre. Combining short demonstrations, hands-on practice and group discussion, this workshop will send you home with a handful of techniques you can begin using the same day.
