Enhancing DNA Research with AI and Airtable

In this episode of the Research Like a Pro Genealogy podcast, Diana and Nicole discuss using Airtable AI tools to evaluate DNA matches. They explain that Airtable AI can make writing about DNA much more efficient and explore how these cutting-edge features can be integrated into genealogical workflows.

The hosts focus on Airtable AI's capabilities in long text fields, where users can write paragraphs, summarize information, and extract details into lists. They provide step-by-step instructions on how to set up and use these AI tools, including creating custom prompts.

Diana and Nicole also discuss the different Airtable plans and their associated costs and credits for AI usage.

Listeners will learn how to use Airtable AI to analyze DNA match details, such as shared DNA and hypothesized relationships. The hosts provide a practical example of how to use AI to analyze a DNA match between Nicole's grandfather and his brother. They highlight the advantages of using Airtable AI, including its seamless integration with existing data and the reduced risk of AI hallucinations. Finally, Diana and Nicole explain how to use the Writage Word plugin to integrate AI-generated analysis into a research report.
