Blaine Bettinger – 10 Generative AI Prompts Every Genealogist Needs to Know

October 18, 2026 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm EDT

– at IAC (In-Person and Zoom Meeting)

Program Description:
This program continues JGSGB’s series of artificial intelligence topics, and will be helpful whether or not you attended prior presentations.  Using AI tools effectively can accelerate your research tasks.  Writing targeted prompts is perhaps the most important technique for using generative AI.  The prompt is how we direct AI tools to give us the output we desire.  However, forming these prompts can be challenging and is rarely a one-shot attempt.  The presentation shows how to formulate (and reformulate!) AI prompts, including ten example prompts that can save us significant time and effort.
