  • A study found that over half of the participants using AI for work saw a 30% productivity increase.

  • People are still hesitant to use large language models like ChatGPT to their advantage.

  • Here are three ways people can ease into using generative AI at work.

Six months ago, I wrote about how ChatGPT saved me eight hours a week as a marketer. Now I work as a generative AI consultant and trainer and use AI tools to save closer to 25 to 30 hours of work a week.

A recent study by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Grammarly found that more than half of people using AI at work said they were 31% more productive.

ChatGPT is my primary generative-AI tool, but many people ask me how to get started with generative AI without diving headfirst into daunting large language models like ChatGPT.

If you're hesitant about embracing generative AI, many apps and tools you already use have AI functions you can familiarize yourself with quickly. Here are three beginner-friendly ways to integrate AI into tools you already use.

GrammarlyGo

GrammarlyGo is my most-used non-ChatGPT generative-AI tool.

A weakness of ChatGPT is its grasp of grammar and syntax. Specific prompt instructions can circumvent some of these errors, but most AI-generated text requires editing.

With GrammarlyGo, you can add any human or AI-generated text into a document and ask it to improve, shorten, lengthen, or change the tone. The tool can also write for you from scratch.

The plug-in appears as an icon at the bottom of your computer screen. The pop-up window has the options ready, so you don't have to worry about writing prompts.

GrammarlyGo generative AI is the most reliable for editing copy with my intended formality and tone, which is critical for my work as a marketer.

The free version allows 100 monthly prompts for text generation, basic writing suggestions, and tone detection. For $12 a month, users get 1,000 prompts and full-sentence rewrites, vocabulary ideas, and tone suggestions.

    Developers are now using AI for text-to-music apps

    With the rise in popularity of Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI tools like ChatGPT, developers have found use cases to mold text in different ways for use cases ranging from writing emails to summarizing articles. Brett Bauman, the developer of PlayListAI (previously LinupSupply), launched a new app called Songburst on the App Store this week. You just have to type in a prompt like "Calming piano music to listen to while studying" or "Funky beats for a podcast intro" to let the app generate a music clip.
