    I was blown away learning that you can copy the family page and paste it into chatgpt to have it put together a biography in minutes! Then you have time to check it for accuracy… but what a time saver!

    I’m excited for what we are going to learn. I can already see these won’t be ‘passive’ sessions, the idea of ‘getting my hands dirty’ so to speak is definitely my learning style.

    Even as an AI novice, I feel inspired to use many of their techniques on my own family members. Sound advice, easy to understand, and relevant.

    I liked the “in real time” portion. Seeing something in action is so much better than a screenshot. Great information.
