Using AI to Entice Employees to Python
summary
Company uses ChatGPT as a gateway to turn mundane tasks into coding problems, e.g., paste a Linear CSV into ChatGPT and generate client status reports, replacing manual writeups. Non-technical staff learn Python basics (requests, json, csv), use Cursor for dev environments, and experiment with Elasticsearch embeddings and RAG. A short course called Skynet Academy has low-code and high-code tracks, and about one third asked for GitHub access after seeing working prototypes.
