Good morning!
We’ve (Towards AI) been using AI to research, plan, help us with drafts, and refine our lessons for our courses. It’s been a game-changer for efficiency and quality, especially when coordinating multiple writers.
I’ve just released three short videos that walk you through our exact workflow:
Researching with AI Tools - How we find credible sources and gather insights effectively:
We cover best practices for verifying the credibility of sources, using AI to rapidly gather relevant data from multiple platforms, and systematically organizing research to create a robust foundation for your project.
Using LLMs to Write a Lesson - Tips on crafting prompts, blending AI outputs with your own expertise, and producing original content:
Explore how to effectively guide AI with clear prompts, combine your unique perspective with AI-generated suggestions, and maintain originality and authenticity in the final output.
Refining Drafts with AI - Methods to polish your drafts, integrate new information, and check for accuracy:
Discover strategies to request targeted edits, incorporate updated information seamlessly, and ensure your content remains accurate, consistent, and engaging.
Why does it matter?
• Save Time by cutting down hours of tedious fact-checking and editing.
• AI can highlight redundancies or grammar issues you might miss.
• Whether you’re writing a single blog post or an entire course, these techniques scale up the writing process.
• Allows us to replicate one writing style across multiple writers far more effectively.
If you find the videos useful, we share even more tips in our recent "8-hour Generative AI Primer" course on the Towards AI Academy platform :)
This 8-hour certification is designed for software professionals, covering everything from LLM fundamentals and prompt engineering to advanced workflows like RAG and fine-tuning. It’s a hands-on approach to integrating AI effectively into your daily operations.
