This beginner-friendly session equips participants with practical skills to craft better AI prompts and integrate AI tools into their daily work. Using both real-world and mock examples, the session will demonstrate how to get more accurate, creative, and reliable results by applying best practices in prompt design. Participants will see how prompting styles differ across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, explore live scenario demonstrations, and leave with a toolkit of strategies for work, research, and personal tasks. The session emphasizes clarity, context, and iteration as the keys to success.
Master the fundamentals of AI prompting and learn how to apply best practices across three leading tools:
- ChatGPT – your thought partner for brainstorming and drafting
- Gemini – your versatile generalist with Google Workspace integration
- Perplexity – your research assistant with citations
Participants will take away practical resources to extend their learning beyond the session, including an AI Prompting Best Practices guide and a companion document that includes sample prompts and a library of prompt resources for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. These materials are designed to support continued practice, reinforce key techniques, and help participants adapt prompting strategies to their own professional and personal contexts.
