Overview of AI Tools Available to Project Managers
In 2024 Update: How a Project Manager Can Leverage Artificial Intelligence, we examined the types of AI, the promises made by AI vendors, and what tools project managers can use in their work.
Â
Two Types of Artificial Intelligence
Generative AI
Predictive AI
Â
Standard Promises from Software Companies
 Automated Budget Analysis
Intelligent Schedule Optimization
AI-Generated Reports
Â
Practical Applications
Â
1. Swift and Verified Research
Chat GPT will continue as a fast and accurate secondary source of verified research in 2024.
Â
2. Original Visuals
Midjourney remains one of the most popular AI image generators due to its unique capabilities and high-quality outputs.
Â
3. Document Summaries
Wordtune, an AI tool that simplifies complex documents, lengthy articles, and other correspondence into concise summaries, proves helpful in extracting critical information efficiently.
Â
4. Document Analysis
I abandoned this form of document analysis in mid-2024 because of its complexity.
Â
5. Assistive Tools
Google's Live Transcribe emerged as a powerful speech-recognition app in 2023. In 2024, it is the go-to AI app on the market.
I reviewed Live Transcribe in 2023 in The #1 Speech-to-Text Tool That Improves Inclusion and Business Presentations. Amelia Loken also gave her testimony using this assertive device in Bridging Communication Gaps with Google Live Transcribe.
Â
A Deeper Examination of Wordtune
In Avoid Stranding Value and Wasting Time by Using an AI Text Summarizer, I took a deeper dive into Wordtune.
I gave three real-world examples of using Wordtune: a water system master plan, a conference paper on harmful algal blooms, and a regulatory impact analysis.
Wordtune is an AI tool that simplifies complex documents, lengthy articles, and other correspondence into concise summaries and helps extract critical information efficiently. It can also do much more than summarize.
Â
The bottom line is that you should use an artificial intelligence (AI) summary tool to improve your understanding and communication.
Â
A Deeper Examination of Midjourney
In Leverage AI Visualization Tools Like Midjourney for Better Results, I took a deeper dive into Midjourney.
Â
AI-based visualization tools like Midjourney are most helpful for creating meaningful images when I do not have one, capturing a project message while not compromising confidentiality, and facilitating creativity early in the life of programs or large projects.
Â
Midjourney was the right visualization tool for our small company two years ago. It takes trial and error, but you do not have to be an expert to create useable, high-quality images.Â

Incorporating AI in Project Management
For project managers in 2024, the key to meaningful and effective AI implementation lies in leveraging it to streamline routine tasks. Project managers can enhance research, visualization, document analysis, and facilitation processes by adopting AI tools like Chat GPT, Midjourney, Wordtune, and Live Transcribe. Embracing AI technologies empowers project managers to achieve greater productivity, efficiency, and communication.
