Using AI for Productivity

Practise using AI to generate ideas, draft documents, analyse information and prepare work materials.

Everyday work involves researching, writing, organising information and communicating ideas. Generative AI can support these activities when users give clear instructions, review the results and refine outputs for their purpose.

This one-day AI productivity training programme combines introductory concepts with hands-on practice. Participants explore prompting, multimodal and voice-based use, brainstorming, documentation, data analysis and visual storytelling using tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Canva.

Who this programme is for

People working in office, creative, education and business contexts who want to develop practical skills in using AI for everyday tasks.

Duration: 1 day

Prerequisite: Basic smartphone and computer knowledge.

What participants will learn

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

  • Explain basic AI concepts and their applications in professional settings.
  • Explore AI capabilities beyond text, including voice-based use.
  • Apply prompting techniques to communicate instructions clearly.
  • Use AI to support brainstorming, drafting, documentation and data analysis.
  • Structure and refine AI-generated outputs to match workplace requirements.
