Getting the Most Out of AI Chatbots – Share Your Experience Below!

Apart from getting high-level information on topcis I’m working on, I’ve found LLMs very useful to help me create Javascripts for this Community. I’m not a developer and although I have some basic coding skills, I had never worked with Javascript before. Nevertheless, by providing the right information to ChatGPT, I was able to add some small scripts to the Community that make it more fun (or so I think) and easier to use.

Apart from the very apparent one, adding snow to the Community during the holidays, scripts can also be used to tailor the pages on the Community and better guide users to content of interest based on their experience or roles, for example. Excited to explore this further over the next months…

Curious to hear if anyone has had similar wins in their work (whether related to TrendMiner or not)...

My experience with AI tools has been for scripting, writing, and designing things for my side hobby. For scripting, AI tools are very helpful for troubleshooting/debugging Python code (since I'm not a coder), optimizing my code, or understanding code written by others. For the last one, it's very helpful in explaining what the code is doing. Reflecting back at some of the code I've written in the past, it all made sense when I was writing it, but when I look at it again after a couple of years, its feels like I'm reading ancient hieroglyphs.

Writing is another area where it's very help. Often I find that everyone has a certain type of writing style, some times its needs to be changed depending on the audience and occasion. AI tools helps in setting the right tone for the intended audience and tips to include certain useful things for the occasion. 

Lastly, and the most fun one for me, is the generation of design ideas for woodworking. I like working with my hands but I'm not the most creative mind for thinking revolutionary designs. As amazing as some of the imagery and designs can be, I used it as an inspiration and scale down the complexity.
