How to use AI to manage the holiday season
AI can help create a meal prep schedule or find substitutes for ingredients. It can suggest gifts or compare prices across retailers. It also could help create a schedule of local festivities.
Jeffrey Shaffer, director of the Applied AI Lab in the University of Cincinnati’s Carl H. Lindner College of Business, said a key to getting good results from an AI query is to be specific.
“You really want to think about how you structure your prompt when you ask a question,” said Shaffer, the Kirk and Jacki Perry Professor of Analytics and an assistant professor-educator in Lindner’s department of operations, business analytics, and information systems. “The things that you want to do in your prompt are give it enough specifics for the task that you want to do. Sometimes, you might even want to give it an example of what you want it to do.”
