AUSIT NAT Presents: ChatGPT and Perplexity AI for Translators and Interpreters (Webinar)

In this hands-on workshop, discover how to harness two of today’s most powerful GenAI tools—ChatGPT and Perplexity.ai—to reduce manual work and carry out more insightful, reliable research.

From fact-checked results to web-wide data synthesis, you’ll learn techniques that go far beyond what traditional tools can offer.

You'll learn how to train ChatGPT to act as your personal research assistant and use Perplexity for fact-checked data analysis and smarter web searches.

We’ll explore Chain of Thought (CoT) and few-shot prompting before walking through real translator/interpreter use cases—from building a reliable glossary to cleaning up document formatting, generating content, and checking references.

Whether you're AI-curious or already dabbling, this session will help you streamline your workflow and stay ahead of the curve.

You’ll leave with new confidence, practical strategies, and tools that add real value to your work in 2025.
