Keith Moehring’s Post

Yesterday I talked about Agents, and how they are what is coming for the rest of 2024 (and well beyond). Your own AI Dude (right Marcela Gallego?) that does things on your behalf. This post below is a great example of one, or several, doing great things for a CEO. He created his Agent, his "program", using Make. Make is a software like Zapier that allows you to build automations. It has a bit of a learning curve but is quite powerful once you get the hang of it. What Keith Moehring did with Make can be done with other softwares as well. Don't get hung up on the tool(s) he used, but get the feeling of what he saw needed to be accomplished. See the OpenAI icons in the picture? Understand that those are where he connected to ChatGPT. He also used Claude where it made sense for him. It isn't equating "AI" to some particular tool...but to a TASK. His automation hooks to hubspot and Gmail too. All triggered by sending an email to a particular address. He took tasks, and needed functionality in his business, and built an AI Agent to do the work for him. He called the early version an Intern, and the later version "Jarvis". It is wise to start small and targeted to get your feet wet, and then grow the idea. Without considering all the tools you might need to hook into, what can you automate in YOUR business that maybe AI can help you solve?

ChatGPT is my intern. That's what I kept sharing with friends and colleagues all last year. But it hasn't earned a promotion yet because in spite of upgrades, and some training (fine-tuning, embedding, custom GPTs) it still behaves like a very helpful, enthusiastic and overly confident intern. I love that it summarizes fast, helps format my unstructured thoughts and can fill in the gaps in my writing. If it's forced, it can be apologetic. But it never says... hey boss! I think this is right, but can you check it? Nooo, it just happily and boldy states what it thinks are the answers, which have mistakes. Key point: "You wouldn't just send your intern's work to your boss/client? Don't just copy and paste ChatGPT either... its just an intern." Here's how I love to use ChatGPT the intern: 1. Quick idea generation. This speeds up ideation so much! 2. Understanding legal contract terms before going to a lawyer. Load a few lines of a legal contract and it can describe risks to both parties etc. 3. Taking an email I've written and asking it to reformat it and find a common point. Even suggesting a summary and call to action. 4. Give a critique of my writing: It finds problems, gaps and make suggestions on how to improve. 5. Play mental chess with it. When I write a proposal or enthusiastic email I ask it to be negative, pessimistic, explain what could go wrong. It can even explain what others might think about your email. This is a great way to avoid mid-night email mistakes we regret in the morning. To get even more out of ChatGPT in business I used this resource by Laurence Yap. He's written a 23 chapter book on LinkedIn in his "AI Productivity and Management" news letter. Here's chapter 1: https://lnkd.in/ezHzd32k Do let me know if you've given your Gen-AI a promotion! #futureofwork #internship #aiadoption Daniel LIEBAU Paul Stefansson Jason S. Ts.

ChatGPT is like a great intern. And you should work with it that way. You wouldn't give an intern a high-level plan for a complex project and expect them to execute every detail exactly how you imagined. But you could give them a simple task and expect them to do it well, especially if you check their results & give them feedback as they work. Then you can use the results of that task to assign another simple task. Check the results & give feedback. And so on. That's how you can take complex recruiting issues like ultra-unique searches with lots of competing requirements that would take you a ton of time to get through and figure it out in a fraction of the time.

Interns are earning from ChatGpt. Here’s What They’re Doing : 75% of Morgan Stanley interns use ChatGPT for their daily tasks. Yeah, you heard that right! And that's not all. 10% of these tech-savvy interns are stepping up their game even further by using ChatGPT Plus. - A massive 85% of them are using ChatGPT to brush up their knowledge on various topics. - 29% are digging into the capabilities of ChatGPT for researching products. - And 22% are taking the creative route and using ChatGPT to plan projects and events. So, if you're still wondering AI is not here to stay! Think again! ________________________ You can be the first to get trending AI news, industry hacks, and secret tools straight to your inbox.

Perils of technology. As much as we use them, often we mis-use them. This case is similar to using ready made templates, and even words, in making their CVs or Resumes. Most of these cases are outcome of laziness, while some are assumption that technology might give better result. It probably does. Artificial Intelligence will be able to do a lot more, and reduce a lot of what we have to do. More often, it will reduce our intelligence too. Ironically, we might use the same technology to find the misuse of that technology.

AI tools can only help you get off the starting block. The short term sprints are ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc. But to go long distance, that endurance must come from your own efforts (using brains). Initially it would be tough, but there's no substitute to perseverance and relying on your own talent.

Hello, Dear Connections! Last week, I attended this incredible lecture at IIDE on mastering the art of ChatGPT! 🌟 I've got the scoop on framing prompts that engage and yield excellent results.  Understanding the PET model—Persona, Environment, Task—was a game-changer! It's all about creating an experience tailored to the user's persona, adapting to the environment, and nailing the task. Learning how to craft prompts effectively opened doors to endless possibilities in digital marketing. Understanding the nuances of PET – knowing who you're talking to, where they are, and what they need – is pure gold. Can't wait to apply these insights to enhance engagement and foster meaningful interactions! Let's make waves in the digital world together! 🌊✨ #digitalamarketing #chatgpt #IIDEInternship #learningandgrowing

I told my interns to stop using ChatGPT, and I think schools have a responsibility to limit the use as well. I had set out a basic task in #laravel to create an API call to another service and parse the json data. this should have been a 30 minute task, with maybe 10 lines of code. After 1.5 hours they told me they couldn’t get it to work. looking at the code, chatgpt split it up in 3 functions, and added 20 lines of comments in each on how to proceed, but no actual functionality. the students seemed to have gotten flustered by the amount of code, and didn’t know what they were pasting in the project, they just tell ChatGPT it’s not working, and keep trying without thinking about the task, the code or the best way to resolve this. Students please use your 🧠 first, ChatGPT can be a great asset, but first you need to. - know what you are doing - know the frameworks and the language fundamentals - write code yourself, and learn to think about solving problems. only then you will be able to use ChatGPT understand the code it’s giving  and pick / refactor whatever it gives you. internship is all about learning and further improving your craft, not copy pasting.

The best mental model for LLM's (ChatGPT-type tools) right now is to see them as an intern. They're smart, tireless, excited, but also clueless about specific contexts, and wildly overconfident when they shouldn't be. You have to take time to train them, and the results still may not be as good as doing it yourself. Their primary role is NOT to do "specialized job task." It's to do the "intern" things so you have more time to spend on the things requiring context. Depending on your job, that's a double-edged sword. If you have no tasks that an intern can help with, then LLM's aren't that helpful right now. If you have lots of intern-type tasks, then LLM's are very helpful...but you are also more at risk to have your job automated away in the future.

"Tell me about yourself" is a question I am NOT good at answering 🫣 I just start talking with no seemingly end point and offering no real value. So I wanted to see if I could change that today. ChatGPT enters the chat 💬 I first told ChatGPT to "Write a short elevator pitch about me with the following points" and then listed the main points of my career and life in the past 3 years, in bullet point format. The first response was BORING, LONG and wayy too FORMAL for me. I then used the following messages to narrow down the text, make it a little more fun ✨ and just correct some wording: 💬 write in a less formal tone 💬 write in first person 💬 make it shorter 💬 add a final sentence about being head of growth at upgrading women 💬 change the word wild (it said a wild internship?? who says that lol) 💬 change exec to intern And, may I present to you, the final result. Is it something I'll use in my bio? Maybe Is it my tone of voice? Not quite BUT it is a great source of inspiration and I will definitely refer to it in future messaging when someone asks for my career background 😊 Thanks GPT 😉 #AI #Marketing #WomenInBusiness #AboutMe #ChatGPT
