AI can speed up content creation, but without the right skills, it can also produce bland, generic, inaccurate, or off-brand communication materials

This practical workshop shows you how to use AI tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Gemini to create targeted, consistent communications for reports, websites, marketing, and social media. You will learn how to design effective communication-related prompts, set up appropriate custom instructions, and integrate AI into your workflow while protecting quality, accuracy, and brand voice. The workshop also provides practical advice on producing visual assets to make your communication more effective, as well as tips to tailor AI outputs to minimize the need for manual edits or refinements.
