AI is revolutionizing the metal industry too! In February, Metaalunie and Globally Cool joined forces to host several hands-on workshops, showing member businesses how to work smarter with ChatGPT. Entrepreneurs and professionals explored how AI can enhance efficiency, content creation, and data analysis in marketing, sales, and communication.

Unlocking ChatGPT’s full potential

Research from institutions like MIT shows that using ChatGPT can increase work efficiency by 18% and improve output quality by 40%, helping businesses save time while producing higher-quality content and analyses.

During the interactive workshops, participants discovered how to leverage ChatGPT for:

• Content creation – Quickly drafting articles, emails, and reports, including translation
• Summarisation and analysis – Converting complex information into key insights
• Data interpretation – Conducting market research and trend analysis
• Brainstorming – Generating and structuring creative ideas for your marketing plan and value proposition

6-Step framework helping to master AI

A key highlight of the workshops was the 6-step framework, a structured method that helps users get more precise and relevant AI-generated results by defining role, context, task, structure, writing style, and format. One participant shared: “I used to get vague answers, but with this framework, I now receive much more precise and valuable results from ChatGPT.”

Why is AI a game-changer for businesses?

Many attendees were amazed by AI’s impact on their workflow. ChatGPT proved especially valuable for marketing, sales, and communication, allowing businesses to quickly generate drafts for news articles, social media posts, sales emails, and marketing plans. Trainer Onno Roukens sparked an engaging discussion with the statement: “AI won’t replace you, but people who use AI will.” This led to a lively debate on AI’s role in efficiency, skill adaptation, and job evolution, reinforcing the importance of AI literacy for modern businesses.

Next steps: AI for every skill level

The sessions revealed varying levels of AI experience among participants—from beginners to advanced users. As a result, Metaalunie is tailoring future workshops to address different expertise levels.
