Useful AI tools for School and Workplace productivity

ChatGPT (https://chat.openai.com/chat)

Obviously Chat GPT is on here. From helping you write computer code to suggesting recipes based on a given list of ingredients, ChatGPT can do A LOT. Get creative with this one.

Bard by Google (https://bard.google.com/)

Haven't gotten to play with this very much, but it seems similar to ChatGPT. Will update when I get to use it more.

Perplexity.ai (https://www.perplexity.ai/)

Uses articles to answer questions. Think of it like a cross between Siri, Wikipedia, and Google search. It also lists its sources too. Great for researching a plethora of topics.

Google's Talk to Books (https://books.google.com/talktobooks/)

Yet another tool Google offers and tells no one about. This one crawls books for the response to a prompt. Another tool that's great for researching topics.

Virtual Face (https://virtualface.app/#/)

For ~ $10 you upload 15 photos of yourself, and the AI will generate an entire professional looking photoshoot of headshots to use in your various projects. Great if you need headshots on a tight budget or timeline.

Bearly.ai (https://bearly.ai/)

In-depth summaries, grammar correction, writing suggestions, rewordings, etc. If you type words into your computer - you can likely find a use for Bearly. It can also generate a long blog, newsletter or article based on a prompt.

YouTube Transcript (https://youtubetranscript.com/)

This one is pretty simple, It uses AI to pull a transcript of your video which can be used to create subtitles, translations, and converting the video into a blog or article (maybe using Bearly?).

More to Come!

I see more and more interesting and useful AI tools all the time. I'll be updating this list as I come across more that I find.
Also, If you use or know of any Useful or Interesting AI tools, drop 'em in the comments. I may even add them to the list!

Thanks All!

Create Profiles for Managing Microsoft Exchange using Windows Terminal (Online and On-Prem)

Image
I use Windows Terminal a lot and I wanted to show off how I setup Exchange Management profiles to make my life easier. Enjoy! Exchange Online: In Windows Terminal, go to "Settings" and click "Add a new profile" at the bottom. Give it a name you like, and in the "Command line" field, Paste the following: powershell.exe -NoExit -Command "Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement; Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName user@contoso.com"  Make sure to replace the UserPrincipalName property with your own. On-Prem Exchange: In Windows Terminal, go to "Settings" and click "Add a new profile" at the bottom.

Give a User 'SendAs' permssions to a Mail-Enabled AD Group in Exchange Online

Image
Really specific situation I know, but this took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out. Thankfully, its pretty simple. Just use the 'RecipientPermission' cmdlets: Add-RecipientPermission -Identity GROUP -Trustee USERNAME -AccessRights SendAs Where GROUP is the 'samAccountName' or 'Primary Email' of the group you want to allow the user to send as and USERNAME is the 'samAccountName' of the user. You can also use the following to see who already has 'Send As' permissions for the group Get-RecipientPermission -Identity GROUP Example:

Get a User's Active Directory Groups

Problem: You need to list out a User's AD Groups quickly and in a way you can copy and paste them. Solution: So we can use the Get-ADUser cmlet with the "Properties" parameter specifying "Member Of" to get a list of AD Groups. The issue is the groups are formatted as distinguished names which are not very easy to read. PS C:\Users\jheisler> (Get-ADUser -Identity "jheisler" -Properties "MemberOf").MemberOf CN=ITTeam,OU=O365,DC=johnjheisler,DC=com CN=ACL-ITDevOps,OU=Security Groups,OU=Groups,DC=johnjheisler,DC=com Thankfully, All we need to do to overcome this is pipe the Get-ADUser cmdlet into a Get-ADGroup cmdlet. Then we can specify the "Name" property off the AD Group objects. PS C:\Users\jheisler> ((Get-ADUser -Identity "jheisler" -Properties "MemberOf").memberof | Get-ADGroup).Name ITTeam ACL_ITDevOps That's it. A quick and clean way to list a user's AD Groups. https://github.com/Snowstuff123/Po...
