Q&A highlights
Sit down as a team, try the tools together and build curiosity: everyone wants to save time. Keep experimenting, and save ready-made prompts for routine tasks such as job descriptions, so people only need to change the details.
Try it, but start with hypothetical information, not real data, until you are sure of the platform. Automate the mundane tasks and use the time saved to connect with people, which AI cannot replace.
