About this webinar

Writing about your genealogy research can be challenging. Assembling genealogical conclusions requires time, persistence, and dedication. Learn how generative AI tools can help – whether you’re writing a biography, research report, or proof argument. Tools like ChatGPT and Claude can turn research logs into reports and timelines into narrative. Providing text to the AI tools help increase accuracy and limit errors. Generative AI tools can increase your writing efficiency, but your personal style may be lost. Learn how to maintain your unique voice while increasing productivity. We will also discuss when to disclose writing assistance from AI tools and how to cite them.

    Both Nicole Dyer, and her mother Diana Elder, are excellent teachers. I have started using AI’s recently and like anything else practice helps you learn how to use the to get the result you want. What is good with AI’s is that they can help you learn to use them, as they can act as a coach in addition to an assistant.

    FANTASTIC! Nicole Dyer’s presentation opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of AI assistance with genealogical writing and research. I appreciate her willingness to share her knowledge and expertise in such a relatable manner. She suggested we choose an AI tool and try it out, experiment, revise, chat, and learn as we go, which took all the fear away. Thank you, Nicole, for this AI epiphany!
