Getting started: using generative AI in your own work

Many people are still new to working with generative artificial intelligence. There are often uncertainties: How do I get started? What specific benefits can AI bring to my day-to-day work? And how do I formulate my questions so that I get practical answers?

On the linked pages you will find a collection of concrete application examples for various scenarios - whether in general work with Microsoft Copilot, in university administration or in teaching. Our examples are designed so that you can try them out straight away. No prior knowledge is required: simply copy the provided prompt into an AI tool of your choice and see what results are produced.

In addition, KOALA provides learning modules for getting started with generative AI. These help you to acquire basic knowledge and develop your skills in a targeted manner. In this way, you can familiarize yourself step by step with the diverse possibilities of artificial intelligence.
