Humanize Automation

Whether it was in high school or college, most of us have met with a guidance counselor at some point in time. Some of us have had great experiences, and some of us have had not so great experiences. This week, I'm joined by AI expert and founder of Advisor.AI, Arjun Arora, to learn about the work his company is doing to help both students and advisors. By aligning coursework with career goals and reducing advisor workloads, Advisor.AI creates access and equity for those who need it most, ensuring every student has the chance to succeed.

In this episode, Arjun and I discuss how businesses can harness automation without sacrificing human connection, the importance of starting with the end in mind, and using technology to empower people to make more effective decisions.

Welcome to the first mini episode of Humanize Automation. These minisodes are meant to be training tutorials to give you different tips, tricks, ideas, and use cases for AI, generative AI, synthetic media, different automations, and things that you can do to humanize automation. What most people are finding out when they experiment with AI tools is that, if they are asking a question in an inefficient way, they're not going to get the results they want. Like most things, you have to learn to communicate well. How can humans and computers communicate more effectively together? In this episode, I am going to walk you through a formula that will give you the best output for your generative AI prompts and save you time to put your own unique touch on top of it, instead of starting from a blank page.
