She has no budget, and the board of trustees believe digital is a luxury. We started with talking about quick wins ... using Fathom or Otter AI to record meetings, take notes and summarise actions. I showed her some of the things you can do with deep research in Perplexity and asked it how can a charity digital lead influence the board to embrace digital and AI - have a look at the output [https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-can-a-chartiy-digital-lead-SRc5nKx0TRWOw485fVwIlg](https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-can-a-chartiy-digital-lead-SRc5nKx0TRWOw485fVwIlg) In Claude we created an Artifact quiz about digital leadership using the output from perplexity [https://claude.site/artifacts/b8561802-b65f-41f7-941f-3d16e6ed4c6f](https://claude.site/artifacts/b8561802-b65f-41f7-941f-3d16e6ed4c6f) We looked at how to transform post-it notes and whiteboard jottings from collaboration sessions into text summaries in ChatGPT and then convert them to diagrams and mindmaps with the Whimsical add in. I popped their website address into Notebook LM and created a summary of what the charity does, some FAQ, and the 'podcast' style audio deepdive. I showed her NoteGPT and how you can get a summary of You Tube videos, webpages and podcasts. We talked about using Loom to record how to guides and create SOP documents quickly. I don't proclaim to be an AI expert - I'm a curious and eager enthusiast who wants to make the best use of the tools available to enable me to work better and provide an excellent service to my clients.
