AI can dramatically reduce the time it takes to draft speeches, talking points, and stakeholder updates, but a fast first draft is only part of the job. This workshop gives communicators a practical framework for using AI as a drafting and editing partner while they provide context, shape the message for the audience, verify accuracy, and protect the organization's voice. Participants practice with realistic scenarios and learn when a draft needs additional human review before release.
What you'll learn
- Create AI prompts that produce drafts aligned with a specific audience, purpose, tone, and format.
- Use AI to accelerate drafting of speeches, talking points, and stakeholder updates.
- Evaluate AI-generated communications for accuracy, clarity, voice, and audience fit.
- Translate technical or complex information into clear, audience-appropriate language.
- Determine when AI-assisted communications need additional review or approval based on impact and risk.
What you'll be able to do
- Produce high-quality first drafts in less time.
- Keep messaging accurate and consistent with the organization's voice.
- Make complex topics clear for any audience.
- Catch errors and tone problems before content is released.
- Route high-risk communications for the right level of review.
Public affairs, communications, and program staff are using AI to draft speeches, talking points, and stakeholder updates, but every word still reflects on the agency. This workshop gives participants a practical framework for using AI as a drafting and editing partner while they verify accuracy, protect the agency's voice, and keep sensitive information out of public communications. Participants also learn when a draft needs additional review, supervisory approval, or clearance before release, using only the AI tools their agency has authorized.
