Generative AI: The Powerhouse Supercharging Your Work

The future of work is here, and it's powered by artificial intelligence (AI). But within AI, a specific branch is making serious waves: generative AI. This innovative technology isn't just about automation; it's about empowering humans to achieve more.

So, what exactly is generative AI, and how can it be used in the workplace? Let's dive in and explore its potential to transform your workday.



What is Generative AI?

Imagine a machine that can create entirely new things, from realistic images to compelling marketing copy. That's the magic of generative AI. It analyzes existing data to learn patterns and then uses that knowledge to generate fresh content.

Boosting Productivity and Creativity

Here are just a few ways generative AI is reshaping the work landscape:

  • Content Creation Powerhouse: Struggling with writer's block? Generative AI can draft reports, emails, social media posts, and even scripts, freeing you to focus on strategic thinking and editing.
  • Design Inspiration on Demand: Need a fresh logo concept or a captivating product image? Generative AI can create options based on your preferences, sparking new ideas and saving design teams valuable time.
  • Personalized Customer Experiences: Generative AI can craft dynamic marketing materials tailored to individual customers, leading to more engaging campaigns and improved conversion rates.
  • Research and Development Acceleration: Generative AI can analyze vast datasets and generate hypotheses or potential solutions, speeding up the research and development process in various fields.
  • Training and Upskilling Magic: Generative AI can create personalized training modules and answer employee questions in real-time, fostering a more efficient and effective learning environment.

The Future of Work: Humans and AI, Side-by-Side

Generative AI isn't here to replace us; it's here to work with us. By automating repetitive tasks and sparking creative ideas, generative AI allows us to focus on our strengths – critical thinking, problem-solving, and strategic decision-making. This human-AI collaboration will be the key to unlocking new levels of innovation and productivity in the workplace.

My Latest project using Gen AI

So recently parkrun removed all their stats and as a keen running who is trying to work their way up the top 100 of their local parkrun I wanted to get some of these stats back and have a bit of "fun" at the same time. So here is a little "ETL" process that I developed with the help of Gen AI.  The steps of my ETL:  Copy and paste data into Google Sheets template where an AI produced formula extracts URLS from the text and puts them into a new field. This effectively allows me to extract the parkrun athlete id, the primary key, and use it in my analysis. I also have a column to autofill the data I am processing.  Use an Gen AI generated Google Apps script to process it into a processed sheet, this allows me to build up a backlog of events (I had over 500 to process).  This is then queried using a Gen AI Google sheets query to extract key information and columns / format times etc. I then ingest the fully processed sheet into Keboola directly from Google Sheets. ...

Zapier

As much as I have enjoyed using Keboola there are some connections that it doesn't have or that just haven't worked for one reason or another. I actually came across Zapier as a solution for bringing in e-mails from parkrun to load my results every week. Honestly I have not found it to be as robust as Keboola but that might just be me archiving my e-mails before it completes it 15 minute poll.  The second use case I am working on is the pulling in Strava data, for a fitness dashboard the fact it has a built in connector for Strava is great, though I am worried given the activities I do that I might reach the limit.  I won't go into details on how to set things up but you can setup 5 Zaps that can run for a combined 100 runs during a month for free.  In my data platform / solution I am using Zaps to load harder to get / automate data. It doesn't add much from a technical point of view as it is just signing into a few account to get the data into Google Sheets for downstr...
