A complete 54-page beginner-friendly guide to using ChatGPT and Google Gemini for genealogical photo work.
This practical PDF walks you step by step through analyzing historical photographs using ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Custom GPTs like Photo Whisperer. You will learn how to extract dating and location clues from clothing, photo formats, studio imprints, handwritten notes, and visual context, as well as how to identify and date objects within photos to refine timelines.
The guide also explains the risks and limitations of AI photo restoration in both tools, why restored images should be treated as illustrations rather than evidence, and how to responsibly label and document AI-modified images. In addition, it covers historically informed image creation, including how ChatGPT and Gemini differ in image generation, how to write clear, detailed prompts, and how to let AI help you generate better prompts when you are not sure how to describe what you want.
Perfect for genealogists who want clear, real-world workflows for working with photographs, understanding what ChatGPT and Gemini can and cannot do, and using these tools to save time while preserving research integrity.
