Shiloh Burnam provided an amazing AI presentation yesterday demonstrating an AI-enabled personalized approach to tailor your resume utilizing your resume, the job description and company background. It is not only about the resume, but also locating an easier way to distill your strengths, gaps to address in the materials you share and having an overall better understanding of what to focus on during your interview process.

This is an amazing group of individuals willing to collaborate and share knowledge. I am enjoying using what we have learned so far and look forward to the next session! Thank you Diana and all that have presented each week!
Really great discussion today. e.g. I hadn't even thought to ask ChatGPT for an Excel version of the table before, and surprised when it answered back, "no problem, here you go! [link]"
Feels like the early days of the WWW when you could *almost* keep up with all the new websites springing up. AI is growing fast, and we're almost able to keep up, but it's accelerating.
I have the privilege of working with Diana McLean and am consistently impressed by her exceptional leadership, collaborative spirit, and innovative approach. Diana demonstrates a unique ability to unite individuals from diverse backgrounds, fostering a shared sense of purpose and creating a thriving, inclusive learning environment.
As the driving force behind the AI Study Group, Diana transforms it into a vibrant community where professionals, students, and AI enthusiasts come together to expand their knowledge. Her organizational skills and diligence ensure that every meeting is meticulously planned, engaging, and impactful. She effectively leverages tools such as Slack, Miro, and LinkedIn, maintaining seamless communication and connectivity among participants.
What I admire most about Diana is her approachable demeanor, unwavering professionalism, and genuine respect for others. She actively values the contributions of every participant, fostering a culture of collaboration and inclusivity that inspires meaningful discussions and drives collective growth.
Working with Diana is an inspiring experience. She exemplifies the qualities of a visionary leader and serves as a catalyst for innovation and positive change. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any initiative or endeavor that demands strategic leadership, organizational excellence, and a passion for empowering others.

Communities are born when people recognize a gap—something missing, an unmet need, or a shared challenge—and step up to build a bridge that connects, supports, and inspires others.
What I love most about community work is the sense of continuity and trust that develops over time. Even when we’re not working under the same company logo, we come together under the shared umbrella of trust, passion, and a commitment to collective growth.
The SparkUp AI community is a perfect example. Founded by Diana McLean, SparkUp AI brings together people passionate about artificial intelligence, offering a space for collaborative learning, mentorship, and real-world project collaboration.
Whether you’re just starting your AI journey or are a seasoned expert, this community thrives on members learning from each other, sharing knowledge, and contributing to a vibrant, supportive ecosystem
Every week, SparkUp AI hosts practical workshops, discussions, and opportunities for members to volunteer, present, and connect.
Thank you, Pavel Anni, for joining us and generously sharing your AI expertise with the group last week.
If you’re looking for a place to learn, connect, and grow in
#AI, I encourage you to join us at SparkUp AI. Together, we’re building more than a network—we’re building a movement.

It was so fun experimenting with AI to create a logo for our group. Thanks to all who participated and to the winners. We learned some interesting yet basic concepts this week. 1. Using the same prompt can return different results. 2. Different apps can also return different results using the same prompt. 3. AI can be creative especially if the prompt is specific to what you are looking for. 4. Add more to the first prompt to fine tune your design. Thank you to Diana McLean and Clint Mitchell for leading the meeting and encouraging engagement and interaction.
