John Clements (JC) organized and hosted in August the “ChatGPT for Beginners” workshop, introducing its employees to the world of artificial intelligence. Over the course of three immersive sessions, Charu Misra, a seasoned Digital Marketing Consultant with over eight years of experience, showed the JC team how to get started with ChatGPT and helped them discover its potential to enhance their daily work.
ChatGPT (short for chat-based Generative Pre-Transformer) uses machine learning algorithm to understand language (written or spoken). The tool then generates a response based on input. To date, the tool is still free to use on chat.openai.com. You get started with the tool by creating an account and typing your prompts in the chat box. When writing prompts, be specific, clear, and detailed with instructions to get an accurate response.

How do you envision applying ChatGPT in your work or personal projects after attending this workshop?
“ChatGPT helps me schedule interviews across different time zones, ensuring efficient communication with international teams. Additionally, by using ChatGPT, I can simplify complex job descriptions for niche roles, making them more accessible and appealing to potential candidates.” – Roxainne Valerio
“In my professional endeavors, I will be applying ChatGPT for the refinement of my reports, my communication lines (both email and face-to-face), and my overall document construction. I plan on using it to make my work style more efficient. Additionally, I suspect that I’ll be using the prompt feature to help me come up with creative concepts or pitches if I ever need it for project management work. Regarding personal projects, I appreciate how it can provide me with a structured format for various topics, so I’ll be using it for tasks such as building productive habits and establishing exercise routines.” – Sir Ludwig Aleksandr Cayabyab
“This workshop was a game-changer because we were taught how to maximize the use of ChatGPT. It will be very helpful in preparing job descriptions, enhancing the way we post job openings online, and in our future recruitment events.” – Andrea Cinco
“After attending this workshop, I realized there are numerous possibilities for applying ChatGPT. I’ve been able to use it for proofreading, creating captions for posts and reels, and as a faster method for translating foreign languages.” – Keven Tom Guanco
“The key takeaway I had during the ChatGPT workshop, which I see as an improvement in applying it to my work and personal projects, is the way I use prompt engineering. Previously, I simply used ChatGPT like a search engine. However, upon completing the workshop, I learned that I can use it more efficiently by being more specific and detailed in my prompt engineering. I believe that by implementing this learning, I will receive better responses from ChatGPT that cater more to my specific needs.” – Philip Wency Reynes
“I plan to incorporate ChatGPT into our social media strategy by using it to craft engaging captions for our posts and articles. This will help streamline content creation and maintain a positive and professional tone.” – Mary June Navida
What did you think about the style of training during the workshop? Were there specific aspects or techniques that you found particularly useful or engaging?
“The style used in the training was highly effective. In the first session, Charu introduced ChatGPT, AI, Machine Learning, and other related concepts using analogies, which made it easier to understand and remember. Then, in the subsequent sessions, we had the opportunity to try and experience ChatGPT ourselves.” – Maricris Anne Silvano
“The training was both captivating and informative, packed with valuable information. I found ChatGPT particularly useful when it came to discussing the prompt, as it allows for a precise explanation of ChatGPT’s functions.” – Rhea Esperas
“I liked the series, from the definition of terms to the practical exercises. Miss Charu was engaging and excellent in her presentation.” – Roxainne Valerio
“I liked the way the presenter allowed us to experiment with our prompts. From there, we understood the power of generating correct prompts. When you input the correct prompts, you get the correct responses, which can save you a lot of time.” – Andrea Cinco
“It’s genuinely engaging and fun, broadening my understanding of ChatGPT’s functions beyond just grammar correction. It has also been instrumental in structuring my daily tasks and sparking fresh ideas to enhance our operational efficiency.” – Kecey Mae De Guzman
“Ms. Charu’s training method was very effective. She was able to capture the interest of the participants, and most importantly, she explained the jargon and the functions in ChatGPT effectively to us, who were considered beginners.” – Philip Wency Reynes
“AI and other technical jargon can be intimidating when reading about ChatGPT. However, the subject matter was presented in a way that was highly relevant to our everyday lives and interests.” – Emerlinda Nueva
Out of the three sessions, what was the best, most memorable part for you?
“I’m torn between Session 2 and Session 3. I suppose the most memorable part was when we attempted to create John Clements’ 50th Anniversary Jingle. It was a live demonstration of ChatGPT’s capabilities and showcased how modular it can be.” – Sir Ludwig Aleksandr Cayabyab
“The final session was particularly engaging, as everyone actively participated in their teams, collaboratively crafting scenarios with ChatGPT and processing the use of ChatGPT in more effective ways.” – Rhea Esperas
“When we were all asked to present an output based on our respective roles using ChatGPT.” – Mylene Samonte
“I believe the last part was particularly impactful, as we had the chance to watch all the divisions’ presentations on the given assignment. It became evident that ChatGPT is indeed your smartest friend because it possesses an extensive knowledge base and can provide information on a wide range of topics.” – Maricris Anne Silvano
“I believe it was during the application part when we were given the chance to create a ChatGPT 3.5 account and use it. I am still amazed at how smart and efficient ChatGPT is.” – Philip Wency Reynes
“For me, the most memorable part out of the three sessions was Session 3, where we explored the use of “prompts” to tailor ChatGPT’s responses to our individual styles and communication needs. Additionally, the awareness of ChatGPT’s data limitations was an important takeaway from that session.” – Emerlinda Nueva
“The most memorable part of the workshop was the live demonstrations, which showcased ChatGPT’s capabilities in real-time. It was both insightful and engaging, leaving a lasting impression on me.” – Mary June Navida
