During the May 15 Women in Ag Tech webinar, Dr. Susan Olsen, Founder of Action Intel, shared valuable insights on how generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude.ai are transforming the way professionals approach their work—especially when it comes to saving time and enhancing business intelligence.
Dr. Olsen emphasized that these tools are more than just productivity boosters—they’re strategic assets. By leveraging generative AI, she explained,
users can quickly analyze data, uncover insights, and generate reports without the need to manually manipulate spreadsheets or rely on complex coding platforms like Python or Tableau.
“Generative AI is really great for getting time back,” Olsen said. “It’s a great first cut—and sometimes it’ll get you all the way.”
She highlighted how tools like ChatGPT and Claude can help break down datasets more efficiently, often producing first-draft insights that are ready for refinement or even direct use. Whether you’re a data novice or a seasoned analyst, these AI solutions are democratizing access to business intelligence and reshaping workflows across industries—including agriculture and technology.
This short clip from the webinar captures the power of generative AI in action, and reminds us that staying ahead in ag tech means embracing the tools that make us smarter, faster, and more informed.
