This presentation outlines how generative AI and chatbots, particularly newer models like Google Gemini 3, serve as powerful virtual research assistants for overcoming genealogical challenges such as "brick walls" and data overload. It details specific AI capabilities, including transcribing foreign language documents, summarizing complex records, and connecting unrelated clues to deepen research accuracy. Finally, the presenter emphasizes that while these tools are rapidly evolving, researchers must learn to use natural language prompts effectively and rigorously verify all AI-generated facts with original records.
