Have you used AI before?
Your Goal: Get to know your neighbor and share your current experience with AI. Turn to the person next to you.
- Exchange names.
- Answer the title question: "Have you used AI before?"
- Discuss your experience:
- What tool have you used (e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney, Grammarly, etc.)?
- What is the biggest benefit you’ve seen so far in your work or personal life?
You have 2 minutes total to share. Listen closely to your partner!

A brilliant title
With Genially templates, you can include visual resources to leave your audience in awe. You can also highlight a specific phrase or fact that will be etched in the memory of your audience and even embed external content that surprises: videos, photos, audios... Whatever you want!

Check the Context
Always be vigilant for cultural or doctrinal bias. If you ask for a sacred story (like the story of Abraham), the AI might pull from the largest dataset (like a non-Christian one). Double-check the source and the tone.

Ask the AI to provide its sources (this is called RAG in technical terms). Trust the answer more when the AI is referencing specific, verifiable resources.
Asking for Better Answers
- Specify the AI's Role (Persona)
- Be Very Detailed
- Define the Output Format
- Try Your Language Instead of English

The Task (or Instruction)WHAT
prompt Defninition
The action the AI must take (e.g., Write, Summarize, Compare, Debug).
A prompt is the input you give to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model—like a chatbot or an image generator—to tell it exactly what you want it to do.
It is essentially your set of instructions or a question that guides the AI to generate a specific and relevant response.
The ContextWHY and WHO
The background information, audience, and the persona the AI should adopt (e.g., You are a marketing analyst writing for the CEO).
prompt Pillars
- The Task (What)
- The Context (Who/Why)
- The Format (How)
The Format (or Constraint)HOW
The rules for the output (e.g., Use a table, Keep it under 200 words, Use a professional tone).

Discretion is Divine
Do not ask the AI for advice regarding a specific person's spiritual or pastoral care. AI is a research tool; spiritual discernment requires human connection and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Do you need more reasons to create dynamic content? Well: 90% of the information we absorb comes to us through sight, and we also retain 42% more information when thecontent moves.

Remember that the AI's internal knowledge is not live. Be aware of its training cutoff date (e.g., when it last "read" the internet). If you need current info, use a tool with real-time search.

Assume It's Learning
Remember that your questions and conversations may be used to improve the AI model. Do not share proprietary, highly sensitive ministry strategies or internal documents.
Be Unambiguous
Write your prompt very clearly so the AI cannot interpret it in a way you didn't intend. Precision prevents accidental error or offense.
A great title
- Plan the structure of your communication.
- Prioritize it and give visual weight to the main points.
- Define secondary messages with interactivity.

Practice Good Stewardship
Use the tool wisely. Guide it with examples, resources, or PDFs, but do not hand over the core spiritual work. Avoid over-reliance.

Using generative ai
The Goal: Prime your brain for the coming demonstrations! Partner Up: Turn to your neighbor. Briefly share your favorite generative AI example you've seen so far (image, song, lesson, video). The Task: Brainstorm ONE creative and practical idea for how Generative AI could immediately help your specific ministry (e.g., event flyer, small game idea, lesson summary). Lock it in! Hold onto that idea. As we watch the next few slides (the demos), your goal is to observe how the presenter uses the tool to see if you can build your locked-in idea when you get home!
Would you like to share your idea? ?
Consistency is Key
If you define a role (e.g., "Act as a Youth Ministry Leader"), repeat that role in the follow-up prompts within that same conversation thread.

Verify Everything
NEVER treat the output as fact. Always verify names, dates, Scripture references, and core Catholic teaching against official, trusted Church sources.

The action the AI must take (e.g., Write, Summarize, Compare, Debug).
A prompt is the input you give to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model—like a chatbot or an image generator—to tell it exactly what you want it to do. It is essentially your set of instructions or a question that guides the AI to generate a specific and relevant response.
The ContextWHY and WHO
The background information, audience, and the persona the AI should adopt (e.g., You are a marketing analyst writing for the CEO).

Protect Sensitive Information
NEVER enter any personal or sensitive information: Full names, complete addresses, dates of birth, bank accounts, passwords, or SSNs. This information is often used to train the model.

Write a great headline
Interactivity and animation can be your best allies when creating tables, infographics, or charts that help provide context to the information and simplify the data to present it to your audience. We are visual beings and find it easier to 'read' images than to readwritten text.
‘Your content is liked, but it engages much more if it is interactive’

Discretion is Divine
Do not ask the AI for advice regarding a specific person's spiritual or pastoral care. AI is a research tool; spiritual discernment requires human connection and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Know Its Knowledge
Remember that the AI's internal knowledge is not live. Be aware of its training cutoff date (e.g., when it last "read" the internet). If you need current info, use a tool with real-time search.

Have you used AI before?
Your Goal: Get to know your neighbor and share your current experience with AI. Turn to the person next to you.
- Exchange names.
- Answer the title question: "Have you used AI before?"
- Discuss your experience:
- What have you used (e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney, Grammarly, etc.)?
- What is the biggest benefit you’ve seen so far in your work or personal life?
You have 2 minutes total to share. Listen closely to your partner!By show of hands, how many have used AI tools before?
Manage Free Limits
Be aware that most tools have a limited free tier (tokens, conversation length). To manage costs and conversation focus, always start a new chat for a new topic or project.

Assume It's Learning
Remember that your questions and conversations may be used to improve the AI model. Do not share proprietary, highly sensitive ministry strategies or internal documents.
Be Unambiguous
Write your prompt very clearly so the AI cannot interpret it in a way you didn't intend. Precision prevents accidental error or offense.

The Right Mindset
Practice Good Stewardship
Use the tool wisely. Guide it with examples, resources, or PDFs, but do not hand over the core spiritual work. Avoid over-reliance.

Visual content is a cross-cutting, universal language, like music. We are able to understand images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.

Using generative ai
The Goal: Prime your brain for the coming demonstrations! Partner Up: Turn to your neighbor. Briefly share your favorite generative AI example you've seen so far (image, song, lesson, video). The Task: Brainstorm ONE creative and practical idea for how Generative AI could immediately help your specific ministry (e.g., event flyer, small game idea, lesson summary). Lock it in! Hold onto that idea. As we watch the next few slides (the demos), your goal is to observe how the presenter uses the tool to see if you can build your locked-in idea when you get home!
Would you like to share your idea? ?
Consistency is Key
If you define a role (e.g., "Act as a Youth Ministry Leader"), repeat that role in the follow-up prompts within that same conversation thread.

Verify Everything
NEVER treat the output as fact. Always verify names, dates, Scripture references, and core Catholic teaching against official, trusted Church sources.

The Right Mindset
Human Review is Final
A person must review and approve all AI-generated content before it is shared. The AI is a helper, not the final authority.
