Being an analyst I need to research about the market and work accordingly. With the help of ChatGPT, perplexity and Gemini, I get done 70% of my research work. The rest of the 30% is just pure brainstorming. Then if I need some graphics then I use Canva for designing them. I get the images from them. Sometimes, I create ppts too using it. If I need any videos then i usually use tool like fliki, Lunabloom Ai or invideo to generate video. These tools give me good quality AI generated videos. Then nowadays, AI is also available on social medias. It makes the job easier for me. So basically, Most of my work is completed by AI. The one thing I need to do properly is to give them proper instructions. How do you go about it?

I use AI almost exclusively for search, and usually force myself to grind against a problem a little before engaging it. I treat AI as a smart codemod tool when I do use it for software development: against easily verifiable, well-defined tasks, low mental effort but higher time commitment tasks.

I keep a list of "rules of engagement" with AI that I try to follow so it doesn't rob me of cognitive engagement with tasks.
