Reflecting on my experience with generative AI tools, I’ve found them invaluable, especially when it comes to the use of Microsoft Excel. As an Instagram creator @excelinsider which over 450k followers, I focus on sharing tips and tricks about Excel, and AI has dramatically improved both my workflow and content quality.
The NLP models of OpenAI has advanced so much that it can generate lines of code and even Excel functions and formulas. This functionality helps me reply to the queries I receive around the Excel problems my followers have. AI plays a crucial role in helping me generate complex Excel formulas and providing easy to understand solutions to my followers, which earlier would take more time in writing manually.
I’ve tried AI even with intricate scenarios, and was not disappointed with the multiple alternative methods it offers to solve problems. This has definitely expanded my knowledge curve. As a part of Microsoft Excel’s Ambassador program, I can understand the use case of AI in Excel deeply, and this would simplify our lives even more with the launch of Copilot for Excel. ’ve also experimented with multiple AI Excel plugins, which are fantastic for learning and improving Excel skills efficiently. These tools offer valuable insights into various functions, tips, and shortcuts, making the learning process faster and more engaging.
AI also helps in content creation. I often use AI to generate content ideas for new posts and content writing. Furthermore, AI assists in generating sample data, which I often in tutorials or demonstrations, making my content more practical and easy to follow. The use of AI in my content journey with AI based photo and video editing apps has been phenomenal as I can generate the thumbnails within seconds and tailor them to my needs. Also, video editing has become much faster for me especially with adding captions and auto removal of pauses.
Overall, AI has been a game-changer for me, significantly boosting my productivity and creativity. AI has allowed me to consistently deliver high-quality, educational posts to my followers while optimizing my learning and content creation process.
