Let’s assume you have approval to use an AI tool such as ChatGPT at work (if you don’t, check out my article on BYOAI), here are some ways to add extra value to your work output and hopefully impress your boss!
1. Create automatic meeting summaries – input your messy stream-of-meeting notes into your AI tool and ask it to create condensed notes in bullet fashion. You can also ask it to create a list of follow-up items and by dates, if they were discussed in the meeting.
2. Draft emails – I hear form people frequently that this is one of the best loved features of an AI tool. Have a pesky email that you need to respond to diplomatically? Ask your AI tool virtual assistant to draft it. An AI tool can help with crafting a polite but firm reminder email to an employee that still owes you a job completion report or needs to complete an activity that is overdue.
3. Write social media posts – ask your virtual assistant to draft a short post (you can specify the length and tone of the post) about a new product launch, a financial report, or highlight industry news of the day.
4. Draft presentation content – either a presentation you plan to give or help out your boss with an initial draft of what you think they should say about a project update or a request for staffing.
5. Research industry news – what are the upcoming trends, what factors will impact growth, what new studies or research has been released and quoted by influencers in your field.
Once you start using an AI tool in this manner, you might be astonished how many ways it can ease your workday and increase your effectiveness. Be sure to tell your boss about your positive experiences.
