Very informative and interesting Webinar. A good one for learning about different AI programs!!!
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!
