Benefits & outcomes
- Streamlined generation of ONIX keywords.
- Enhanced discoverability of titles through improved metadata.
- Reduced manual effort in keyword creation.
- Facilitated iterative refinement of prompts for better results
Notes & quotes
The article emphasizes the importance of iteration when working with AI:
“Even with programming experience, working with AI involves a lot of trial and error. No one should expect to get it right the first time.”
It also highlights the value of engaging in a conversational approach with AI tools to refine outputs:
“The key is to be patient, have fun, and not be afraid to ask questions to build on the results in ways that make sense for your goals.”
