Prompting and Data Analysis Techniques for ChatGPT and other LLMs
2-hr session | June 18 (See time for the Americas) & June 20 (See time for Asia, Africa, Europe, MENA)
Want to refine your use of ChatGPT and other Large Language Models like Gemini for effective text and image generation, text summarisation and research? In this session we provide guidelines, movement-based examples, and tips and tricks on effective prompting techniques. We’ll show how to use prompting to generate messages with the right tone, refine your framing techniques and more accurately target your audience. We’ll also cover how to build a custom GPT specialized for your organization, and use cases for it in social justice work. Custom GPTs are easy to set up and can get you close to the results you’ll get from some expensive A.I. tools being promoted these days.
For groups that use spreadsheets and data, we explore ChatGPT’s powerful data analysis and code-generation capabilities.

Coaching
In A.I. coaching, an SMT A.I. specialist (see bios above) works with you to:
- Assess how A.I. tools can save your team members time on tasks
- Help you integrate them into day-to-day workflows
- Explore new capabilities A.I. tools can bring to your work, such as better segmentation of email content to specific audiences; or a more user-friendly website
- Develop A.I. policies to support the team and protect the organization
This can be an on-call relationship moving forward. As A.I. developments take place the team member can be your go-to person for quick guidance and advice.
Coaching begins with a minimum 10-hour contract (which may be sufficient). Hourly rates vary by organization size and location globally. Contact info @ socialmovementtechnologies.org with questions or for an invoice to get started.
