Throwing back to the first day of my first-ever internship, I found myself shaking with nervousness like when a caveman confronts people with electricity. One of the invaluable pieces of advice my mentor gave to me on the day was the importance of becoming proficient in two-factor authentication for Jira and getting used to team Notion.

Of course, That was the first time that I learned the existence of Notion. Notion is one of the collaborative platforms that provides a variety of features, including notes, documents, schedules, and workspaces. And what about now…? It’s one of the apps I can’t live without my Notion. Recently, Notion also introduced artificial intelligence (AI) functions.

It’s the trusty sidekick that I simply can’t do without in my digital arsenal. A virtual canvas that turns the chaos of collaboration into a harmonious symphony. But hold your horses because Notion took a giant leap into the future by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) functionalities, thus elevating its game to dizzying new heights.

As you know, Chat GPT and Notion AI are both excellent examples of generative artificial intelligence, each with its own unique strengths (Perez, 2023). Chat GPT is great at holding conversations and can provide a range of responses based on what the user says. On the other hand, Notion AI is equipped to handle more complex tasks such as data analysis, image recognition, and natural language processing. With its natural language processing capabilities, Notion AI can analyze sentences, pick out nouns, and automatically sort documents and images. Plus, it can process data to give you precise answers to your questions (It seems like a great tool to BIM students!)

For the uninitiated, Notion is a veritable Swiss Army knife, amalgamating note-taking, task management, and database functionalities into one sleek platform. However, the highlight in this Notion AI is undoubtedly its AI capabilities. It transforms Notion from a standard tool to help organize yourself into a veritable virtual assistant, equipped to tackle everything from essay writing to study planning.

Personally, Notion AI has brought improvement in a way for me note-taking. With Notion AI it became possible to pepper my notes with images, videos, and links, which has been nothing short of a revelation. Also, the AI note feature categorizes and tags my notes automatically so that I can access information in a snap. Notion AI is also equipped with the task management function! I can use it as my personal secretary, helping me create to-do lists, set reminders, and track my progress in one convenient place.

But where Notion AI truly demonstrates its worth is in its writing assistant feature. This tool supports me in brainstorming ideas, structuring essays, and proofreading my work. like I have an all-time tutor by my sideNotion AI has genuinely transformed my university life, helping me stay organized, use my time wisely, and do better in my studies. Plus, it has freed me up to fully enjoy learning by doing my repetitive job.

So, to all of my BIM colleagues, do yourself a favor and give Notion AI a whirl!

It is no secret that generative AI tools such as Chat-GPT have revolutionized our lives in many aspects since their appearance. Education is no exception to that. The education sector has witnessed a significant transformation due to technological advancements in recent years (Ganjoo, 2021). One of the innovations is AI-powered tools that assist students in their academic endeavors. Among these, Chatbot GPT, an advanced generative AI model, has emerged as a valuable resource for university students, offering an effective way to augment their learning and research experiences. 

There are voices amid growing negative perceptions rather than expectations for using ChatGPT; not only each school but also the education authorities still need to come up with accurate guidelines on how far to allow this. However, unconditionally limiting ChatGPT’s potential to students might rob them of fully realizing and harnessing its capabilities (Johnson, 2023). Thus, it is still crucial for students to understand how to utilize this resource for their academic endeavors in an ethical manner that complies with the respective university policies.

In this post, I’d like to introduce how students can leverage Chat GPT as a booster to enhance their academic journey while ensuring they avoid breaching academic integrity policies such as plagiarism with two use cases.

Students can use Chat GPT in writing academic papers to receive instant grammar checks. The program will identify grammatical errors in your writing in a minute by simply inserting your text into the box. Personally, I view ChatGPT as a formidable challenger to ‘Grammerly,’ with the added benefit of being free! What distinguishes ChatGPT from existing tools like Grammerly is its ability to deal with custom prompts. ChatGPT allows you to refine grammar, style, tone, and overall text coherence. Of course, ChatGPT shouldn’t be asked to generate entire texts or write assignments for users. Yet, we can still utilize chat GPT as an assistant tool, given the dynamic nature of the generated content, which can often lead to polished results.

Did you know that we can check their assignment to see whether it conforms to the criterion before submitting it with Chat GPT? Once you insert your writing and rubric with a command saying, “Check the writing by the rubric below.” Chat GPT will make an assessment in accordance with the assignment guides your professor offered, which I also used to check my diagrams for DBA :). Based on ChatGPT’s assessment, you can learn the points that need improvement in the assignment and work on them to get a better grade. 

As I wrote in the post, Integrating Chatbot GPT into our academic journey can let us harness its potential to elevate our learning experiences. If you have any creative way to leverage Chat GPT for your academic endeavors other than those mentioned above, please let me know in the comment section!
