Navigating the AI Revolution: A Quickstart Guide to ChatGPT

AI is here to stay, whether we like it or not.

Although AI can feel like scary territory, education and tips can guide you through the exploration of it so you can set your brand apart and ahead. We’re buzzing with excitement about the endless possibilities AI offers and is about to unleash in the ease of daily operations in the retail sphere.

Picture a retail world where AI transforms personalization, efficiency and sustainability. As we dive into the new year, our focus is on guiding our clients and retail teams to leverage AI effectively. We’re tackling key questions: How do we make the most of AI and what are the best tools for use?

As the paradigm in AI shifts, our employees and team members have started exploring new possibilities with many aspects of AI. Let’s dive a little deeper into one, specifically: ChatGPT.

One of the ways we’ve begun to leverage ChatGPT in our daily work life is by following OpenAI’s writing guide, which outlines five clear strategies for powerful results:

1. Write Clear Instructions:

Include detailed prompts for more relevant answers.
Specify the steps required to complete the task.
Provide examples.

Provide Reference Text:

Instruct ChatGPT to use reference text, such as a link to a PDF or a website.
Instruct ChatGPT to answer with citations for a reference text

Split Complex Tasks into Simpler Subtasks:

This year we saw an uptick in the brands appealing to both parents and kids. Messaging towards mom and dad highlighted the needs at various stages of development, while the younger audience was pulled in via packaging. Several brands partnered with fan favorite TV characters or branded their products with characters themselves.

Give ChatGPT Some Time to Think:

a. Allow time for ChatGPT to develop its solution.
b. Ask ChatGPT if it missed anything on previous attempts.

Test Changes Systematically:

a. Evaluate ChatGPT’s outputs against gold-standard answers.

By empowering our internal teams at The Barcode Group to test and learn these skills in partnership with our internal AI Committee, we aim to stay at the forefront of evolving tools. Embracing ChatGPT and developing internal prompts for our teams ensures peak efficiency, enabling us to provide top-tier service and quality work to our clients.
