There’s more to ChatGPT than prompting. Learn to use Deep Research, advanced reasoning, connected tools, Canva, Airtable, and more.
Most participants know how to ask ChatGPT a question, but that only scratches the surface of what AI can do. In this hands-on workshop, participants will move beyond basic prompting and learn how to use ChatGPT for research, problem-solving, productivity, and creation. Participants will explore capabilities such as deep research and reasoning, working with documents and data, organizing complex information, and connecting AI with other tools and platforms. Through practical examples, they’ll learn how to research and synthesize information, develop ideas, analyze content, and create useful outputs in tools such as Canva, Airtable, and more. The workshop will also cover how to give AI better context and direction, evaluate its output, and determine when AI is the right tool for the task. Participants will leave with practical workflows they can apply to academic projects, organizations, internships, job searches, and future professional work.
