THE BOOM OF GENERATIVE AI: 2022-
2023 AND BEYOND

The Historical Evolution of AI

A
rtificial Intelligence (AI) has a storied history that stretches back
to the mid-20th century. The term “Artificial Intelligence” was
first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 during the Dartmouth
Conference, which is considered the birth of AI as a field of study. The
early years were marked by significant optimism, with researchers
believing that creating machines as intelligent as humans was just around
the corner. However, progress was slower than anticipated, leading to
periods known as “AI winters” where interest and funding waned.

Despite these setbacks, foundational work continued, laying the

groundwork for future breakthroughs. The development of algorithms,
computational theories, and the increasing power of computers kept the
flame of AI research alive. In the 1980s and 1990s, AI saw a resurgence
with the advent of expert systems—software designed to mimic the
decision-making abilities of a human expert. However, it wasn’t until the
21st century, with the explosion of data and advancements in machine
learning, that AI truly began to boom.

The Rise of Machine Learning and Deep Learning

The 2000s marked a pivotal era with the advent of machine learning—a
subset of AI that focuses on building systems that can learn from data.
Unlike traditional programming, where rules are explicitly programmed,
machine learning systems learn patterns from large datasets. This shift

What are Open Ai assistants?

GPTs vs Assistants

GPTs

GPTs are custom versions of ChatGPT that users can tailor for specific
tasks or topics by combining instructions, knowledge, and capabilities.
They can be as simple or as complex as needed, addressing anything
from language learning to technical support. Plus and Enterprise users
can start creating GPTs at chat.openai.com/create. GPT’s live inside of
ChatGPT and are intended to be created by anyone using a simple UI.
BONUS
Assistants

Workshop : Developing a 24/7 support system The Assistants API allows you to build AI assistants within your own
applications. An Assistant has instructions and can leverage models, tools,
with live chat and AI-driven help solutions and knowledge to respond to user queries. The Assistants API currently

How to integrate ChatGPT in Excel?

Sentiment analysis, also known as opinion mining, is a process of
using natural language processing and machine learning techniques to
extract subjective information from text data. It involves identifying and
categorizing opinions, attitudes, emotions, and feelings expressed in a
piece of text, such as product reviews, social media posts, news articles,
and customer feedback.

Sentiment analysis can be used to determine whether the overall sentiment

of a text is positive, negative, or neutral. It can also be used to identify Step 1 : Getting our Open Ai API Key
specific emotions such as joy, anger, sadness, and fear, and to determine
the intensity of these emotions.

Applications of sentiment analysis include customer feedback analysis,

social media monitoring, brand reputation management, market research,
and political analysis. By analyzing sentiment, businesses can gain
valuable insights into how their customers feel about their products or
services, and can use this information to make data-driven decisions

Now, let’s take the same dummy data generated by chatgpt in the previous
section and move to the following workshop on how to integrate ChatGPT
in excel?

250 251
 and copy paste the following source code :

function runOpenAi(prompt, cell, maxWords) {

const apiKey = ‘YOURAPIKEY’; // Replace with

your OpenAI API key

const apiUrl = ‘https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/

completions’;

// Check if the cell parameter is valid

if (typeof cell !== ‘string’ && !cell.getValue)

Step 2 : Pasting the source code in App Script {

return ‘Error: Invalid cell reference.’;

// If cell is a range object, get its value

const cellValue = (typeof cell === ‘string’) ?

cell : cell.getValue();
Let’s call our AppScript “OpenAIrunner”.
const fullPrompt = `${prompt} ${cellValue}`;

const data = {

model: ‘gpt-3.5-turbo’,

messages: [{ role: ‘user’, content: fullPrompt

}],

max_tokens: maxWords

};

252 253
 const options = {

method: ‘post’,

contentType: ‘application/json’,

headers: {

Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`

},

payload: JSON.stringify(data)

};
You can verify it in the source code, we named the function call “runOpe-
nAI”

try { It takes three parameters :

const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(apiUrl, • The prompt

options);
• The cell
const json = JSON.parse(response.
• the max length of the answer.
getContentText());
Let’s use it in the first cells and see the result
const output = json.choices[0].message.con-
tent.trim(); In the first empty cell, let’s write the following function
return output; =runOpenAi(“Please give a rate to this feedback
from 1 low to 5 very positive..give
} catch (error) {
just a number”, C2, 1)
return `Error: ${error.message}`;
We will notice that OpenAi API was successfully called, giving a rating
}
of 5 to the first feedback.
}
Now we can copy the function to the rest of the cells and get an overall

Summary of Automation Workflow:

1. Data Collection:

o Scrape LinkedIn profiles and extract relevant links.

o Background scrape profiles to gather detailed information.

2. Email Extraction:

o Use Snov.io to find and verify email addresses.

3. Data Management:

o Store the collected data in Google Sheets.

o Retrieve and format email addresses for use.

4. Email Sending:

o Verify the email data.

o Send outreach emails using Gmail.

This workflow ensures an efficient and automated process for reaching
out to potential partners via LinkedIn, leveraging multiple tools to collect,
verify, and use contact information systematically.

6- Execution of the first steps

a- Scrapping a linkedin profile

Let’s start with a simple use case, scrapping the information of one
specific profile.

Let’s scrap the information of my own Linkedin profil “Mohamad

Najem”.

and test it !
Here, We add the following action “Add rows to Google Sheet”.

This way,we are making sure to collect all of the relevant data of the target
linkedin profile and map it with a Google Sheet file that will contain all
of my prospects.

Now, our first Bardeen automation is created :

As you can notice my profile was beautifully scraped.

276 277
b- Scrapping multiple linkedin profiles

Tada, you notice that Bardeen has scrapped all.

Let’s look for the “Linkedin search” playbook. In this example we scrapped the data of Dubai chief marketing officers.

By the way, you can use directly the same template in this link : https://

7- Workshop

In order to scrap the data of the potential collaborators of 02Book app,

we will have to reproduce the same previous steps, while adding these
new steps :

• Finding an Email from Linkedin using Snov.io API.

And let’s add the “Add rows to google sheet” action. • Add rows in Google sheet with the Snov.io Email

• Check if the Email is not empty

• Send an automated Email to the prospect

Recap of the Journey

A
s we wrap up “The AI Augmented Product Owner,” let’s take a
moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve undertaken
together. Our goal was to explore how AI can transform the role
of a product owner, enhancing traditional practices and unlocking new
levels of efficiency and effectiveness.

We began by questioning whether traditional agile methods are still

up to the task in today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape. This led us
to introduce the concept of an AI-augmented agile mindset, where the
principles of agile are supercharged with the capabilities of AI to boost
productivity and innovation. We discussed the explosion of generative
AI technologies and their potential to revolutionize product management.

From there, we dove into the essential AI tools that every modern product
owner should have in their toolbox. We provided practical advice on
integrating these tools into daily workflows to maximize productivity and
drive innovation. Setting the right context at the beginning of a project
was emphasized, highlighting the importance of empathy interviews to
understand stakeholders’ and users’ needs deeply.

We moved on to crafting a clear and compelling project vision and

ensuring stakeholder alignment. Story mapping was introduced as
a powerful technique to visualize the user journey and identify key
features, creating detailed and impactful user stories. Iteration planning
and prioritization strategies were discussed to ensure steady progress and
deliver maximum value.

Executing development sprints efficiently and conducting effective

sprint reviews were covered to gather feedback and make necessary
