About the book:
AI for Everyday IT is full of tested, actionable advice for enhancing and accelerating IT tasks using Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot. It lays out dozens of common IT tasks that AI can help with, and provides the prompts and problem formulation methods that will deliver the best results. You’ll learn how AI can assist with root cause analysis, disaster recovery planning, effective sysadmin scripting, and even writing professional emails when you’re too furious to be nice! By the time you’re finished, you’ll know exactly how to save massive amounts of time and keep yourself competitive in the IT workplace.
AI development tools have changed how we write software. What used to take hours—debugging, documentation, basic features—now takes minutes. Although these tools complement rather than replace developers, they’ve become an integral part of how we work. Traditional code completion offers basic suggestions, but modern AI tools understand context, predict what we need, and can write complete functions or solve complex coding problems. This fundamental shift has transformed how we approach software development.
The book contains four main parts with 17 chapters and two appendices, structured to build your AI skills step by step:
Part 1 (chapters 1–7) builds your foundation with AI concepts, chatbot interactions, prompt engineering, and practical uses in document handling and workplace communication.
Part 2 (chapters 8–10) covers IT support and service desk operations, systems administration, and database administration and development.
Part 3 (chapters 11–13) explores code assistants, DevOps engineering, and building AI-powered applications.
Part 4 (chapters 14–17) addresses conflict resolution, management essentials, interventions, and career advancement.
Appendix A provides information on local AI models as an accessible alternative to online services, including their use with structured outputs.
Appendix B provides information on OpenAI GPT Actions.
