Trainers: The 9 AI use cases to emulate

1. Quickly Create Custom Training Materials

Designing custom training materials to meet each client's specific needs is very time-consuming. With AI, you can quickly generate tailored training modules. Using language models like ChatGPT or Claude (often superior in style), you can craft course plans, presentations, and even interactive exercises in record time while ensuring content relevance. Here's an advanced prompt we use at Side School to create course summary PDFs (feel free to copy it!):

2. Automate and Personalize Interactions with Students (Email, Outreach, Support)

Rewriting is THE major use of generative AI. It's a feature coming to all mailboxes (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) and operating systems (Android, iOS, macOS, etc.). However, a good prompt goes beyond the autocorrector: it clarifies communication and speeds up projects by reducing back-and-forths with learners or clients. By sharing an email thread with ChatGPT or Claude and asking what could be clarified, these AIs provide valuable suggestions.

Question: Does AI Dumb Down?

It's legitimate to wonder whether using AI in creating educational content might compromise teaching quality. However, AI should be seen as a complementary tool that helps trainers save time on repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on delivering added value and human interaction with learners. Facing the upheaval of generative AI, it is natural to want to avoid the topic ("bury your head in the sand"). Side School's training restores confidence by putting AI into practice in real job cases. We have already supported several training organizations in integrating AI into their work. Our month-long training sessions run alongside your professional activity, with constructive feedback from your peers.

3. Analyzing Learners' Progress with a GPT

Tracking and analyzing your learners' progress is essential to improve your training and demonstrate its effectiveness. However, manually processing the data can be tedious. Using a customized GPT ("custom GPT" in English, available for users with a paid "Plus" account), you can automate the analysis of assessments, feedback, and success rates. This allows you to quickly identify strengths and areas for improvement in your training. Tested and approved at Side School!

4. Simulating Dialogues and Role-Playing

Whether for your learners or yourself, generative AI tools like Claude excel in dialogue simulation. It's a great use case for practice: simulate, for example, a sales discussion with a potential client by describing this person's psychological profile in advance. This role-playing can also benefit your students. Using a customized GPT, you can create scenarios and personalities for your students to interact with. Engaging with these "virtual actors," you practice handling various situations, improve your teaching skills, and gain confidence.

5. Standardizing the Onboarding of New Trainers

Integrating new trainers into your team requires time and resources to ensure they align with your quality standards and teaching methods. LLMs ("Large Language Models," like ChatGPT) can help you create comprehensive and interactive onboarding guides. By providing standardized and personalized content, you ease the onboarding process, ensure training consistency, and free up time to focus on other priorities.

6. Attract New Clients with Valuable Content

Regularly creating relevant and engaging content is a great way to attract new clients (for example, on search engines) and strengthen your positioning as an expert in your field. This, however, requires time and creativity. LLMs can generate blog articles, social media posts, and informative newsletters. You may have tried it already. But often, results need rework as they don't match your style. To create quality content, projects in Claude allow sharing reference files for stylistic inspiration. Alternatively, by paying for ChatGPT, you gain access to the latest reasoning models with more nuanced styles.

7. Competitive Intelligence: Staying Ahead

In a competitive market, it's crucial to know the current trends and your competitors' offerings to adapt your strategy. However, comprehensive monitoring can be tedious. To continuously track competitors, an AI spreadsheet like V7 Go allows extracting content from competitors' sites, then asking to rate the competitor's arguments, pricing, and even how to differentiate against them. Although more complex to set up than the other examples mentioned, V7 Go, once mastered, is an extremely powerful tool. It's like launching ChatGPT conversations over hundreds or thousands of data lines in parallel. V7 Go is one of the tools that brings the most productivity gains in our training sessions.

8. Financial Planning and Funding Assistance

AI can assist in preparing financial plans, writing grant applications, and simulating budget scenarios. Automating these tasks reduces error risks and enhances efficiency. By sharing financial template files, ChatGPT can propose drafts to quickly start new administrative procedures. It can also analyze accounting documents to identify potential errors.

9. Staying Current with Regulatory Changes

It's challenging to keep up with constant regulatory changes, notably those concerning Qualiopi certification and CPF. These changes can significantly impact your ability to offer eligible training and maintain your competitiveness. Using AI tools like Perplexity (as if ChatGPT and Google had a child!), you can receive precise and up-to-date summaries of regulatory changes without spending hours deciphering complex legal texts. Here’s a prompt to paste directly into Perplexity:
