AI is your assistant. I tell it "I AM NOT TECHNICAL" :unclejoe:, the model knows it has work to do ;-)
1). I create amazing Spreadsheet formulas.
2). I fix Spreadsheet formulas that are not working.

I'll give it what I know, it'll make mistakes, ask it to fix it, just paste the error message in and it'll fix it.

I had Claude 3.7 create an interactive report on this hypothetical Dealer Group sales table

DealerRefresh Group Annual Performance
1742337669118.png

Year-End Analysis of All Stores' Sales Performance
CLICK HERE TO SEE INTERACTIVE REPORT <--- ITS BAD ASS


Prompt I used FYI:
I am the marketing dir at our Dealer Group, DealerRefresh Group (aka DRG). Below is monthly sales for all stores. YOu are a data business analyst. You are to assist me in creating an end of year presentation. All leadership will be present. Store leaders will want to hear about how they did. You are to deeply analyze this data, look for business based stories that speak to the total perfomance of our dealer group, then on to store analysis. This is an deep process, you are to create visuals if it will help communicate data. Our final product will be to use your 'publish to share' feature to give to all in attendance.

  • Context on Goals: It was a good year. Look at the ratio of sales of stores vs total. Did any take more or less share Month over Month?
  • Comparative Benchmarks: None.
  • Focus Areas: No, look for outliers.
  • Preferred Visuals/Format: No preference, your choice to choose the visual that best communicates the data.
  • Time Constraints: Time is only constraint if the data found is not important. IOW, small variants are to be ignored. Again, the audience are the store leaders, they're most interested in thier contribution to DRG. Be sure to create format that allows an executive review top down, then for each store, then onto the granular data.
DO you understand your mission? DO you have any questions before you begin? If not, proceed.
 
AI EMAIL CLUSTER F*CK ASSISTANT
Dealer decision makers, have you ever been in one of those looong email chains, drawn out over days and weeks, with several players in the conversation and the conversation is 'lost in space'?

Copy the ENTIRE email thread into AI (Claude.ai is a good one), use this prompt:
(this can be sooooo helpful!)
I am [your name], I am the [your position] at [your dealership]. You are my executive assistant. You are to read this entire email thread and create the following. 1. List all names and positions of participants. 2. Create a summary of what this email thread is about and what I want from this group of people. 3. Tell if all of the questions have been answered and do we have consensus. 4. Tell me if the group is waiting for any information from me. 5. If so, you know what my position is and what I want, craft a reply for my review.
 
Why doesn't the dms do the charts for you? It's not really a hard lift and chatGPT can get it 70% of the way done.


Ai is good at OCR and Charts.js.
Image generation is getting better.

Ai still can't code and vibe coding is a death trap.

I've noticed that chatGPT is wintering more and more. It's not really wanting to answer questions. Now that duck.ai and gemini are working about as good as 4.0 I am thinking of canceling my chatGPT monthly spend.
 
I do almost all of my search through ChatGPT now. I also always ask it to give me the news of the day without any bias. Love that. As far as using it for work, I used it for two projects. I had it help me with creating save button for my hangtag spreadsheet and also a load button to recall the original later. I also had it help me with getting a QR code on those hang tags. I got as far as getting it to scrape my site to create the code, but I haven't quite figure out yet how to get my hang tag sheet to read the new sheet and cross-reference the VIN. Got busy with other stuff.

To the lurkers, most AI's knowledge is not current:.
Prompt: what is the last date of your knowledge?

Answer:
My knowledge goes up to June 2024, but I can also pull in live information using web browsing if you need something more current. Just let me know!

Be sure to click 'search the web' for fresh info.
