Hey everyone! I'd love to hear how you're incorporating AI into your daily sysadmin tasks. Personally, I often find myself Googling and browsing Reddit for answers. Lately, I've started using ChatGPT to help with some simple scripting. I'm curious about other ways I can leverage AI to make my work more efficient and, quite frankly, to stay relevant in a world where AI is becoming more prominent. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I've built a simple OpenAI app that automates PowerShell script generation for daily IT tasks. What’s cool is it even warns me if my script could cause any issues, acting as a safety net. I also feed it into a new AI service that automates everything further. Super helpful!
I use tools like Obsidian paired with Whisper for transcriptions, clean up my emails for tone and clarity, and even ask for small scripts! Plus, instead of scrolling through Reddit or Stack Overflow, I just let an LLM give me tailored info. It’s definitely a handy addition to my toolkit, but remember, it’s not a complete replacement!
Thanks for sharing all those examples! I'll try using AI to organize my notes.
Have you tried just asking ChatGPT what other ways you can use AI in sysadmin tasks? It's pretty adaptable! 😊
Right? It's like having your own assistant that can help with tons of tasks!
I tend to feed manuals and scripts into AI for verification and troubleshooting. It's incredible for double-checking my work or doing web searches when I hit a knowledge wall. Definitely a versatile tool for sysadmins!
Awesome tips! I'm definitely going to use it for script checking.
I rely on AI like a junior admin who works 24/7. It helps with regex headaches, summarizes lengthy vendor PDFs, and even explains error logs in simpler terms. Sure, it can mess up sometimes, but it’s still better at writing PowerShell than I am, and it saves me a ton of time!
What tool do you use for summarizing those docs? That could really help me out!
That's a solid approach! I'm definitely considering using it to tidy up my emails.
