How Are You Using AI to Boost Workplace Productivity?
Asked by

I'm working at a Managed Service Provider (MSP) and for this quarter, I'm tasked with exploring and implementing an AI tool that can enhance our workflow and productivity. I'm curious about what specific AI tools you've been incorporating into your daily operations, beyond just the usual options like ChatGPT and Google Gemini. What has worked for you?

Before jumping into using AI, make sure to define the problems you're facing. Pinpoint where time is lost and identify the repetitive tasks you want AI to handle. For us, it's mainly using Copilot for quickly generating guides or troubleshooting. Beyond that, AI hasn’t really integrated into our other processes yet.

Given that you're at an MSP, your AI needs might differ from a typical office. Testing various AI tools could prove beneficial. We've occasionally used Copilot for creating onboarding guides or simplifying processes during our large client integrations, and it’s been quite effective.

We've restricted generative AI at our office except for Microsoft Copilot. It’s the only one we trust for our projects.

Using AI can be hit or miss. Sometimes it helps find documentation faster than our usual searches, but when it comes to more complex queries, it often gets things wrong.

I set up ChatGPT with Teams using Power Automate, which saved us a ton of time! Now, our ticket summaries are created automatically, and the interns have finally stopped asking if they can just reboot everything.

SkepticalSteve77: I get that! We're mostly okay with it since it writes decent code and helps non-techy folks make decisions.
