    I thoroughly enjoyed the webinar and plan to watch the re-play. I am relatively new to the use of AI, but the presenter’s descriptions and explanations were very clear. I am going to recommend it to my genealogical group.

    Great. Enjoyed and learned from the live creation of a ChatGPT prompt.

    I just watched Andrew’s webinar, GPTs for Family History: Unlocking the Potential of AI, and found it incredibly informative. I wasn’t aware that custom GPTs were available, so it was great to see their potential for genealogy. With technology evolving so fast, keeping up can be a challenge, but Andrew’s clear and engaging presentation made it easier to understand. Thanks for another excellent session!

    Can’t wait to write my own GPTs now. It’s great that Andrew Redfern showed us how to write a GPT.

    Because it covered the whole array of my GPT questions from soup to nuts, it filled the gaps in my understanding of the lead-up to what’s too often just the starting point. In other words, it didn’t take for granted what I already know, but yet extended to what I can do at a highly sophisticated level all on my own. Nice to know I’m not restricted to just the “canned” things presented to me but can get creative in future. Thanks for the toolkit, Andrew!

    Andrew Redfern certainly engages you as you learn. Love the live hands-on approach to demonstrating “how to” use ChatGPT for genealogy. I have learned so much from the Legacy Family Tree Webinars about using AI, my local genealogy club thinks I am such an expert as do some people from various museums around the country. I’ve applied it to my life, planned a 50th wedding anniversary weekend for me, my husband and family, wrote a humourous poem about him, plus edit, summarize grant applications! WOW!
