Automate and accelerate everyday IT tasks using generative AI! Read this book, and you may never write another “after incident” report from scratch again! Generative AI for the IT Pro reveals how you can automate dozens of your daily IT tasks with generative AI—including writing email and reports, setting up a chatbot to field helpdesk requests, evaluating disaster recovery plans, and more. Requirements for this book are simple and even free. While premium AI subscriptions offer more features, starting off with free services like ChatGPT, Google Bard, or Microsoft Copilot will also work. Our primary tool throughout the book is ChatGPT Plus, which we find exceptionally capable and worth the $20month subscription. Many books deal with the theory, whereas this book deals with practical, hands-on examples that you can immediately apply. In Part I, we lay the groundwork with essential definitions, concepts, and prompts. You’ll get hands-on practice with AI prompt techniques to aid in all AI interactions. In Part II, we’ve packed in relatable examples and strategies, focusing on leveraging AI for tasks like document drafting, communication, and career advancement. As the book progresses to Part III, we cover practical applications in various IT roles: including helpdesk and IT support, database administration, cloud engineering, and everything in between. And for those in management, Part IV offers tailored insights to streamline and enrich your work processes with people and products.
