Visualizing Organizational Structures with AI: A Leap Forward in Management and Education

Today's experiment is about the ability of AI to generate visual representations from text-based dialogues. This capability, as demonstrated by OpenAI's ChatGPT and its 'Show Me' plugin, might have profound implications for management and education.


ChatGPT has been trained on a diverse range of internet text. However, its ability to understand and generate text is not its only strength. With the help of plugins like 'Show Me', ChatGPT can now create visual diagrams based on the information provided in a text-based dialogue.

Consider the task of creating an organizational chart. Traditionally, this would require manual effort to gather the necessary information, decide on the structure, and then design the chart. With ChatGPT and the 'Show Me' plugin, this process is streamlined. The AI can understand the hierarchical relationships described in a conversation and generate a visual organizational chart. This ability to find structure in text-based dialogue and translate it into a visual format is a game-changer.

Implications for Management and Education

The ability to generate visual diagrams from text-based dialogues has significant implications for both management and education. For management, it simplifies the process of creating organizational charts, flowcharts, and other visual aids that are crucial for understanding complex systems and processes. It also allows for real-time updates and changes, making it a flexible tool for dynamic organizations.

In education, this technology can aid in teaching and learning by providing visual representations of complex concepts. It can help in subjects like biology, where visualizing the structure of a cell or an ecosystem can enhance understanding, or in computer science, where visualizing algorithms or data structures can be beneficial.

ChatGPT Plugins: Visualizing Conversations

ChatGPT plugins are additional features that extend the capabilities of the base model. They allow the AI to perform tasks that go beyond generating text. The 'Show Me' plugin, for example, enables ChatGPT to create visual diagrams based on the information provided in a conversation.

How Plugins Work in ChatGPT

Plugins in ChatGPT work by interacting with the AI's responses. When a user's input triggers a plugin, the plugin processes the input and generates a response. This response is then incorporated into the AI's output. This allows for a seamless integration of additional features, enhancing the AI's capabilities without disrupting the conversational flow.

Providers and Visual Plugins

Providers are the entities that create and maintain these plugins. They ensure the plugins are up-to-date and functioning correctly. There are a variety of visual plugins available, each designed for a specific purpose. For example, some plugins generate mind maps, others create flowcharts, and some can even produce complex diagrams like UML diagrams or organizational charts.

This post has been cowritten with ChatGPT. Please beware that AI is fascinating and can catch your full attention for hours. Get the balance right! > more?

An Ethical Framework for Exams and Continuous Assessment with AI

Throughout the history of education, a multitude of diverse and even contentious methodologies have been employed to assess knowledge and aptitude. Several assessment methods have been employed, ranging from oral examinations to written tests, all with the overarching objective of discerning the extent to which students comprehend the subject matter in a manner that is equitable, comprehensive, and optimal. In the present context, amidst the cusp of a forthcoming epoch, the ongoing discourse persists, albeit with a futuristic inclination. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about transformative changes in the field of education, revolutionizing the tools and methodologies employed for assessment and evaluation. As we transition into this emerging era, it is crucial to discuss the implications for the fundamental principles and ideals of education. The conventional methods of assessment, commonly characterized by high-stakes examinations and standardized tests, ha...

Rethinking Exams in the Age of Chatbots

Today's experiment explores the potential of ChatGPT to assist me in the realm of exams, particularly within my field of teaching, Business Analysis. Can ChatGPT create a question for an exam? Indeed, it can do even more! In the experiment below, ChatGPT showcases (to varying extents) its ability to not only generate an exam question but also to engage in several related tasks: Generate a difficult critical question Solve the question Critically evaluate the solution (its own solution!) Attribute a mark between 1 and 6 Attribute a severe mark between 1 and 6 Defend a mark Refute a mark Generate a variation of the question which is difficult to solve Generate a variation of the question which is even more difficult to solve Give a correction scale with marks from 1 to 6  The impact of AI and chatbots like ChatGPT impact on university exams is becoming increasingly evident. Students and teachers alike are beginning to discover these tools, questioning their potential to generate, cor...

How to augment a Course with AI and Student Personas

As an educator in the field of business analysis, I've always sought innovative ways to enhance the learning experience for my students. My latest experiment (see below) into this endeavor involved leveraging ChatGPT to not only understand the learning process better but also to tailor it to individual student needs. Here's a glimpse into this fascinating journey. It began with identifying eight phases of a learning process with ChatGPT. These phases ranged from orientation to reflection and evaluation, encompassing the entire spectrum of a student's learning journey. The goal was to understand how students navigate through these phases and how they could be supported in each step. Building on these phases, I adapted them into a model for student personas . This involved considering various aspects of a student's academic life, personal characteristics, and learning styles. From this model, I created ten distinct student personas. Each persona represented a unique c...
