Join the IT group for this webinar where Matt Ensor will explore how AI can help create, populate and improve structured templates for real work processes, including reports, CVs, research summaries, grant applications and technical documentation.

The session will focus on the practical challenge of turning unstructured information into structured documents: finding relevant source material, extracting the right information, fitting it into a template, identifying gaps and keeping a clear human review point.

It will also touch on how more agentic AI tools may increasingly support this process, and the controls needed before they can be trusted in real organisational workflows.
