About this webinar

Stop getting generic, surface-level answers from AI! The secret to breaking brick walls isn’t just asking questions—it’s assigning Roles. In this video, discover how telling AI to “act as” a professional archivist, DNA expert, or social historian transforms it from a basic chatbot into a specialized research partner.

We reveal the top 5 personas that unlock deeper historical context, decipher impossible handwriting, and analyze evidence with professional rigor. Don’t just chat with AI; build your own expert research team. Watch now to revolutionize your family history strategy.

Author’s Note: I want to be transparent that this material – DESC Tech Tip – Using Roles for AI Prompts – was created in part with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) language model – Gemini Pro 3. The AI assisted in generating an early draft of the article, but every paragraph was subsequently reviewed, edited, and refined by me.

I am proud to present this work and assure readers that while AI was a tool in the process, the story, style, and substance have been carefully shaped by the author.
