Hi — Joseph here @Next Automations

McDonald's is set to implement AI across 43,000 locations to expedite service and improve customer experiences. Similarly, software giants like ServiceNow, Salesforce, SAP, and Intuit are developing AI agents to autonomously manage tasks in customer service, HR, IT, and marketing, aiming to boost efficiency. However, a Financial Times report indicates that companies are struggling to convince employees of AI's benefits, with many workers feeling inadequately trained and supported in AI adoption. These trends underscore the importance of effectively integrating AI into business operations to fully harness its potential.​ sources: nypost.com businessinsider.com ft.com

PROMPT OF THE WEEK: Personal Sous Chef

Level: Beginner | Requirement: None | Use-case: Any Department or Home

Ever stared at your fridge, unsure what to cook? Turn ChatGPT into your culinary assistant to create delicious meals from available ingredients.​

Prompt: Copy Paste To ChatGPT

"You are a recipe developer. I have [list your ingredients]. Suggest a recipe using these items?

How It Works: Input this prompt into ChatGPT, replacing the bracketed text with the ingredients you have. The AI will then generate a recipe tailored to your available items.​

Use Case Examples:

  • Quick Meals: Create a tasty dinner with what's in your pantry.​ Reducing Waste: Utilize leftover ingredients effectively.​

  • Dietary Needs: Customize recipes based on specific dietary restrictions.​​

  • Office Work Version: "I would like you to ask me questions to achieve ‘X.’ You should ask questions until condition ‘Y’ is met. Ask me one question at a time. Now, ask me the first question."

💡Pro Tip: Be specific about your ingredients and any cooking preferences (or task) to receive the most suitable recipe suggestions.​

This approach not only saves time but also adds variety to your meals. Give it a try and discover new culinary delights!
