Lately, I have been using AI a lot more than in the months before. I've had a few conversations with colleagues that have inspired me.

How does this look in concrete terms, what have I done differently in the last few days?

First of all, I used the AI-based chatbot on Coursera to review and better understand my learning material.

I learned from a colleague that you can also have a conversation with AI tools. I did this during a walk to better understand a specific product in terms of technology, user flows, market participants, market size and so on. I had this conversation with Perplexity.

I also prepared customer meetings with AI, mainly because I had little time for this. I will automate this preparation even more with no-code tools so that colleagues can benefit from it. But that will take some time.

My conclusion: the more I think about my personal use cases, the more I realize how AI can help me. Am I always satisfied with the results? No, sometimes the results are too generic and I'm also not sure if everything is “true”. But more and more I see how AI improves my productivity and also my knowledge.

By the way, I didn't have this article written by an AI, but I used AI to translate and improve it.

I am in a hurry and I need content for the portal. Product owners do not have time either to provide the right input. At least there is a clear, predefined structure for the content.

So I try to speed up with ChatGPT. The content structure helps to shape the prompts. And yes it helps to get the right terms to focus on. I do not like the long sentences ChatGPT provides, so I only take elements, add my own wisdom and have more than a text prototype. It can be reviewed and improved at any time.

My conclusion: ChatGPT delivers very quickly a starting point. Not more, not less.
