Getting the Most from ChatGPT: Practical AI for Everyday Use

AI tools like ChatGPT are everywhere, but how do you get the best out of them? In this hands-on, phone-based workshop, Jon Bell will guide you through practical techniques to make ChatGPT a more useful, reliable partner in your work and life. Whether you’ve tried it a few times or use it regularly, you’ll learn how to write better prompts, refine responses, and avoid common pitfalls without needing any technical background.

We’ll cover real examples, answer your questions as they come up, and spend plenty of time experimenting together so you leave feeling confident and ready to put your new skills to use.

Please bring: A phone with the ChatGPT app installed, and enough battery to last the day.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to:

• Write effective prompts that get clearer, more useful responses
• Use ChatGPT for research, brainstorming, and creative work
• Recognise the tool’s limitations (and how to work around them)
• Apply practical strategies for using AI in your personal or professional projects
• Confidently troubleshoot when ChatGPT gives unexpected or unhelpful answers
