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 spend my time like this

- reading papers, blogs, articles, searching google scholar, and chatting with perplexity about them to help find other papers

- writing research proposals based on my reading and previous research

- analysing data lately this means asking Claude code to generate a notebook for playing around with the data

- writing codes to explore some data or make some model of data, this also has a lot of Claude code interaction these days

- meetings, slack, email

- doing paper and proposal reviews which includes any or all of the above tasks plus writing my opinion in whatever format is expected

- travelling somewhere to meet with colleagues at a conference or their workplace to do some collaboration that includes any or all of the above plus also giving talks

- organising events that bring people together to do any to all of the above together

I’m a soft money research scientist with a part time position in industry working as a consultant.
