Answering your questions about business and technology
What are AI skills and why do I keep hearing about them?

Hi Julie,
You can use skills with whatever AI tool that you are using to teach the model how to do something that it doesn’t know how to do.
For example, if your company has a specific way that they create marketing materials (styles, colors, fonts, etc.), you can put those details in a skill and then call the skill whenever you need to create something.
It can be any step by step procedure (even if there is only one step), aka SOP, aka workflow.
They’ve been around for about a year but have mostly been in tech circles. You are probably hearing about them because the more popular AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) have recently introduced them. They are also forcing a lot of people to use them by getting rid of custom GPTs (ChatGPT), Gems (Gemini), and other similar tools.
By the way, if you use custom GPTs or Gems, you might want to get up to speed on skills soon. You don’t want them to delete your stuff…
If you are interested, we have multiple videos on YouTube about skills so you can start at the beginning or jump in wherever you are at.
Hope that helps.
