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
The absolute most useful and best webinar of the session. I will be registering for more of Andrew’s AI webinars.
An excellent demonstration on the use of AI to assist with thinking and analysis while performing genealogical research.
Excellent session, thank you. I came along because I thought I need to know more about AI use in genealogy in general (as the leader of a local genie group), rather than it was a tool I was wanting to use for myself (which I had no intention of doing), and came away with ideas on how I can use it myself! Andrew is very good at explaining his topic.
Extraordinary! Hard to say more!
Learned by doing is always best. Watching presenter do it was “learningful!”
Love that you’re in this topic!
Clearly demonstrated strategies and tactics for working with ChatGPT to extract and analyze family history data. Really good examples that I can apply to my own work!
Loved this presentation. I did hear “Slow Down” two or three times. Very glad I can watch this again. Looking forward to the continuing series. Always need a syllabus. Thank you.
