Thank you for attaching the syllabus before the session, it helps to have time to print it out and have on hand at the start of the session.
I wish I could give this a 10. Building on the previous session, this expansion into writing prompts provided a solid foundation for creating the prompts and built on the benefits of AI. I really like the expanded sessions that provide a deeper understanding of the subject over the course of several webinars. The work in AI and DNA are expanding my knowledge and giving me the chance to ask why during the multiple sessions. GREAT IDEA and GREAT WORK!
The handouts were very helpful and I really enjoyed the tag-team approach by the presenters for posing prompts and showing results on screen. This kept the presentation moving, allowed maximum information to be shared and it allows the user to refer back to the prompts in future. I also admire the way that audience questions were managed. Exceptional job!
I found this webinar very useful. The explanation of how prompt wording affects AI responses was clear and practical, and it’s helped me think more carefully about how I frame questions for my family history research.
From Problem to Solution: A Case Study Approach to Using AI in Genealogy
Artificial intelligence is changing the way genealogists work—but how do you move beyond tips and tricks to apply AI in a sound, methodical way? In this session, Andrew Redfern demonstrates how a case study approach provides the answer. Using real examples, he walks through the stages of tackling a genealogical problem with AI, showing how tools can assist with transcription, analysis, correlation of evidence, and presentation of findings. Rather than treating AI as a shortcut, Andrew highlights how to integrate it into the established genealogical research cycle—problem definition, source gathering, analysis, and conclusion. Attendees will see how AI can clarify complex evidence, save time on repetitive tasks, and support storytelling, while still requiring human expertise and critical thinking. By the end of the session, participants will have a practical framework they can adapt to their own research problems, ensuring that AI becomes a trusted partner in genealogical methodology.

Syllabus
I was a little apprehensive after the first session. But after tonight’s session class 2, following along and trying at the same time made for an excellent one. Andrew and Fiona make an excellent team of teachers.
The ‘identifying’ myself aspect was really helpful. Being able to ‘change hats’ with AI from my hobby as a family historian but also a teddy bear collector, will definitely alter the content we exchange and the language used. Thank you for attaching the syllabus before the session, it helps to have time to print it out and have on hand at the start of the session.
Amazingly helpful. Thank you. A complex subject explained well. I think the hand out will be very helpful for practicing using AI.
I wish I could give this a 10. Building on the previous session, this expansion into writing prompts provided a solid foundation for creating the prompts and built on the benefits of AI. I really like the expanded sessions that provide a deeper understanding of the subject over the course of several webinars. The work in AI and DNA are expanding my knowledge and giving me the chance to ask why during the multiple sessions. GREAT IDEA and GREAT WORK!
The handouts were very helpful and I really enjoyed the tag-team approach by the presenters for posing prompts and showing results on screen. This kept the presentation moving, allowed maximum information to be shared and it allows the user to refer back to the prompts in future. I also admire the way that audience questions were managed.
