KI im Büro: Excel, Präsentationen und E-Mails mit KI erstellen
Wir zeigen, wie sich Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot und Google Gemini für typische Büroaufgaben einsetzen lassen und welche Tools tatsächlich gute Ergebnisse liefern.

In voorbereiding van een commissievergadering gebruikte ik, na eerst de stukken zelf te hebben gelezen, Gemini 3 als tool om mij te adviseren over de in te brengen punten. Heel makkelijk omdat alle stukken openbaar zijn en je deze dus kunt meegeven als context/kennis. Gemini vindt deels dingen die ik zelf had geconstateerd maar deels ook andere. Benieuwd hoe dit het werk in raden gaat veranderen. Risico, mensen gaan nog minder zelf lezen... 🙄
