How to Create a Project in AI for Genealogical Research

Описание: Diana Elder, AG, discusses how to create a project in AI for genealogical research report writing. She uploads various documents such as timelines, research logs, key documents, transcriptions, locality guides, and past research reports into the project knowledge in Claude AI 3.5 sonnet version. She uses a paid account, although she notes that similar functionality is now available in Perplexity's free offering. Diana asks the AI to assist in various aspects of writing her report, including creating background information, tables of tax data, and analyzing research data. She ensures that all AI-generated content is sourced and cited properly, noting the use of AI in the report's limitations section. To integrate citations with accurately, Diana uses a tool called Writage in Microsoft Word, which converts markdown citations into properly formatted footnotes. She highlights the efficiency and time-saving benefits of using AI, allowing her to focus on revising and adding to the AI-generated content to produce a comprehensive and well-structured research report. Diana also demonstrates how AI can create tables from extensive data, such as census records, and how she revises and fact-checks the AI-generated tables to ensure accuracy.
