SUMMARY:WMGS October Monthly Meeting: ChatGPT for Genealogists
DESCRIPTION:At our October monthly meeting\, Robert Cameron Weir will return to WMGS to present “ChatGPT for Genealogists.” Rob will explore how ChatGPT can become a powerful ally in your genealogical research. After a quick introduction to how this AI tool works\, Rob will dive into a series of hands-on examples that showcase the full range of its capabilities. ChatGPT can tackle an impressive variety of tasks\, such as suggesting source material\, interpreting images\, and translating records. \nJoin us to see how AI can revolutionize your research\, save you time\, and reveal new insights in unexpected ways. \nRobert Cameron Weir is a genealogical researcher\, educator\, and author who specializes in New England genealogy. He is a member of the Association for Professional Genealogists and is the Publications Director for the New Hampshire Society of Genealogists. He’s also the author of the new book ChatGPT for Genealogists: From First Prompts to Advanced Workflows. \nWe hope you’ll join us on Wednesday\, October 7 at 6 p.m. ET on Zoom. Members will receive an email to register for the Zoom link. \n(This presentation will be archived in the Members Only section of our website for\n90 days.)
