After an initial pilot phase, PMI Infinity is launching today, January 19th. Thank you to everyone who participated in co-building, testing, and providing feedback! We’re eager to continue hearing about your experiences with AI tools.
PMI Infinity is PMI’s AI-powered community-generated and peer-reviewed knowledge base; it contains trusted and vetted content that you can rely on for your most pressing project management questions.
Access it! Infinity.pmi.org PMI Infinity will be available to anyone registered on PMI.org for free until 12 February 2024 when it will be restricted to PMI members.
Share! Within PMI Infinity, you can provide immediate feedback with a thumbs up or a thumbs down, and there is the option to provide more detailed input via a pop-up window.
In the comments below, tell us about your experience using PMI Infinity: - What questions or scenarios did you pose to PMI Infinity? - What was the outcome? - How have you used PMI Infinity on a project? Or on your professional development journey? - What applications do you see for PMI Infinity to your projects? - How has your use of PMI Infinity evolved?
If I understand correctly, ChatGPT had been used to attempt to pass either a full or a partial PMP exam a few months ago and the results weren't great. Had PMI Infinity's beta version (based on the v4 engine) been similarly tested, and if so, how did it fare?
Given the difference in its performance on the bar exam (jumping from 10th to 90th percentile), it would be interesting to see whether a PM-trained instance like PMI Infinity on the v4 engine could do better than a generic v3.5 instance.

Hello Kiron, Our focus with PMI Infinity is to help with project success and increase the efficiency of a project manager; we have stayed away from having Infinity test the PMP for now. Maybe something for us to consider in the future. We'll have that in our backlog :) Saving Changes...

This is likely a deficiency in the underlying ChatGPT 3.5 engine which has issues with basic maths. I'd expect things will improve when PMI upgrades it to the v4 engine, but that is likely to require paid subscriptions by members.

Totally agree with you, I tried the same prompt through Copilot with Bing using GPT-4 and it gives an accurate results taken into consideration the whole provided data. Saving Changes...

Hello Rami, hope things are good. Let me clarify your questions:
1. 1) I did pose a question but didn't find the option to provide more detailed input via a pop-up window. Where can I find this? - We do not have a separate pop-up window. The chatbox should expand to the length of your prompt,so that you can read all your text. If you do not see this behaviour, please let me know.
2) When you move to GPT4, as paid PMI members, do we need to pay for the ChatGBT subscription to use the Infinity Tool? - No, it'll still be free. You do not need a ChatGPT subscription for PMI Infinity; it is needed only to access the Infinity exam simulator on the GPT store.
For the pop-up window, I was going by what Laura mentioned in her:
"Within PMI Infinity, you can provide immediate feedback with a thumbs up or a thumbs down, and there is the option to provide more detailed input via a pop-up window."
I might have understood but all clear now!

Oh yes, on the left navigation panel, you'll find a link that says 'Provide Feedback' that should open up a pop-up window where you can submit your feedback.

Hi, in a nutshell, can this PMI resource be described as an AI search engine?
Does PMI’s C-suite level marketing group leadership believe it to be, in a nutshell, an AI search engine?
BACKGROUNDER
What is an AI search engine?
An AI search engine is a search platform that uses machine learning models and artificial intelligence to provide results. With the help of other AI-based algorithms and natural language processing, it can understand more complex search queries and provide improved, more relevant, and accurate results to users.—nordvpn dotcom

I haven’t yet used PMI Infinity—intrigued by the buzz though—eager to read the product’s Use Cases.
What are the top three+ specific goals that PMI Infinity users can attest too? Value proposition.
Value: The worth, importance, or usefulness of something to a stakeholder within a context. Value can be seen as potential or realized returns, gains, and improvements. It is also possible to have a decrease in value in the form of losses, risks, and costs.Value can be tangible or intangible. Tangible value is directly measurable. Tangible value often has a significant monetary component. Intangible value is measured indirectly. Intangible value often has a significant motivational component, such as a company's reputation or employee morale.In some cases, value can be assessed in absolute terms, but in many cases is assessed in relative terms: one solution option is more valuable than another from the perspective of a given set of stakeholders.—BABOK®
Their testimonials will likely spur me on to apply my discretionary time n’ effort.

NICE TO KNOW - AN UPDATE
“AI teammate and a community-generated project manager’s co-pilot!” The PMI President & CEO’s marketing nomenclature is helpful to my positioning the product in a very expansive AI marketplace of niche products. Thank you!
BACKGROUNDER
I had also asked Project Management Institute LinkedIn, “Does PMI’s C-suite level marketing group leadership believe it to be, in a nutshell, an AI search engine?”
RESPONSE
Many users are utilizing PMI Infinity much like a search engine, but, unlike ChatGPT and other AI agents that search throughout the web, this brings only results based on PMI expertise, research, and knowledge. You’ll note PMI President and CEO refers to PMI Infinity as an AI teammate and a community-generated project manager’s co-pilot in his LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:l...46319387815937/
Folks very close to PMI Infinity's development are on this thread, so that’s a great place to keep the discussion going (and it looks like you’re already active on it, so that’s great!): https://www.projectmanagement.com/discussi...p;pageNum=1

Adding a bit more to the discussion thread.
PMI LinkedIn marketing communications has mentioned that users are utilizing PMI Infinity much like a search engine, but, unlike ChatGPT and other AI agents that search throughout the web, this brings only results based on PMI expertise, research, and knowledge.
Only results based on PMI expertise, research, and knowledge?
To me, that is really good! Cheers! As long as the sources are really well vetted.
OPINION PIECE
From time-to-time, in my opinion, some of the vetted write-ups published in ProjectManagement dotcom and PMI PICKS leave me thinking that the authors are sharing personal opinions/perspectives/interpretations that are not consistent with PMI Standards n’ Guides —etc. I perceive this as entrenched biases, that should be culled from PMI Infinity.
REF.
ProjectManagement dotcom is PMI’s knowledge portal, where all project managers can create and explore content and participate in a diverse, vibrant, global community.
PMI Picks™—bite-sized project management and power skill learnings—are smart, PMI-approved, SME-vetted content to inspire and inform us. This PMI-approved content is only 2-12 minutes in length and available in text, video, and audio formats.

Mark,
Generally, we recognize the PMBOK guide as the representation (using your wording) of “PMI expertise, research, and knowledge.” Interestingly, though, the first bullet used to describe the guide is:
- Represents good practice for “most” projects “most” of the time
In other words, the guide provides a “menu” of possibly relevant knowledge areas and practices (notice: not “best,” but “good”) that a project professional can use to tailor their project. It’s this way because all projects are unique and different, run by and containing fallible human resources and politically influenced organizations that present the unforeseen on a foreseeable basis.
Hence, project professionals use others’ opinions/perspectives/interpretations to gain knowledge on handling that which is outside the scope or context of the PMBOK guide. Thus, the need for the content that you state should be “culled” from PMI.
Context is everything in project management and life, which is why we need project-life-experienced human expertise. Good practices and processes within knowledge areas are great and helpful but do NOT always provide the elements one needs in the context of their unique project. So, why would we want to exclude that knowledge?
