I have been an avid Smartsheet formula expert for years now and yet I find the formula generator mechanism of the new AI tool extremely insightful and helpful. We work with large datasets, and a multitude of calculations and workflows and having something as handy as an AI tool to generate a complex formula (in my opinion) is a huge game changer as it saves time and increases efficiency. We can move on to bigger agendas on how to solve production issues rather than just typing in formulas to find for how long the prod is stuck. Thank you, Smartsheet AI

Hello SS Community,

I use AI as much as I can to help draft email communications, update the verbiage on my resume, and brainstorm ideas for different projects. I believe AI is a great resource to use when unclassified information is entered and/or if a person is having difficulty figuring out where to start on professional or educational assignments. There is a lot of aspects about AI that are unknown and I think that it is imperative for organizations to implement this an internal resource for employee to utilize to enhance the organization from within.

Thank you!

AI is a proof reader and intrinsic guide for me, it allows me to dump thoughts and organise them far faster than I can do.

I am confident that ai can help me in the future, I am just not sure how at this point. I've been doing my own due diligence to stay informed and remain open minded to ensure that once business value is clear I will have some ideas of how I want to apply it when the opportunity presents itself.

Within Smartsheet, the AI help with formulas has been coming in quite handy. I look forward to seeing it improve, but as it stands right now, it's certainly saved me a lot of trial-and-error time. Beyond the Smartsheet environment, I regularly use ChatGPT (in a closed non-training environment set up by my org) to reformat information. Working with international teams means that sometimes I receive dates in DD/MM/YYYY format and other times I get it in MM/DD/YYYY format, and sometimes the formats are mixed on a single file. Having AI revise formats to be consistent is just one example of the more menial tasks I have passed over to AI. Recently I wanted to create a sheet that had a column with all of the months and days listed out (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc.) which it was able to provide almost instantly.

For meeting management, I give it pre-read slides before meetings and then tell me questions that it believes should be asked. Sometimes my slides are very science heavy, beyond my personal training, so it's able to break things down into more layman terms and point me in the right direction for thinking about the data and what it will be used for. I type a lot of "notes" verbatim of what folks say during meetings, and after a meeting I provide it what I have captured along with the formal slide deck and have it produce meeting notes for me in the format that I prefer for my own reference, including a section of key information tags that we established so that I can easily search for key topics in my notes more easily at a later time.

I almost forgot - I haven't had new headshots taken in a while so I gave an AI program my last headshot and some more recent photos of me and it generated the photo I'm currently using across my work, including here!

Love the headshot! @Carly Chaput

I tried using Claude.AI recently to help with a Smartsheet formula. Very excited to use more AI functionalities & features in the future - just starting to dip my toes into the water.
