First I want to preface this with I am absolutely not developing any kind of AI platform.
This is a post coming out of fear of being left behind because I am slow to adopt AI and I struggle with how to use it efficiently. I have used ChatGPT mostly for things like polishing presentations to be “executive ready,” rewriting emails for clarity, things like that. But I deeply struggle with getting it to do meaningful, helpful things in spreadsheets. Like I struggle with how to prompt ChatGPT or Claude to get it to give me what I want. Maybe it’s because I’m not a great user of spreadsheets to begin with. I can do the basics but I’ve never had to do complex formulas in the past. I have tried to prompt Claude to rework a new product development timeline, where dates are auto populated. Claude spent 4 hours trying to figure it out and then crapped out. And I know this is something that can be done because I’ve seen it made by other people. I think the issue is I just don’t know how to make it understand what I am asking for :/
Does anyone know of any resources, like video tutorials or blogs, that I can use to help me with becoming a better user of these platforms?
I’m definitely an AI skeptic. But I don’t want to put myself out of a job because I can’t adapt to the latest technology. Any advice is appreciated!
