How have you used AI or other tools to make your job easier?

Has anyone here used AI or another new tool to make their jobs easier? I tried using ChatGPT for a few of my day-to-day tasks, but it wasn't much help. It's too focused on tech in its base state. A friend of mine showed me a tool called Excel Formula Bot which was pretty helpful. It made a pretty complicated formula for me in about 30 seconds. It took me (the analyst) about 20 minutes to figure it out. And a few of the associates about 7 or 8 minutes to get it. My VP figured it out right away but cheated and made it rigid.

For me and my coworkers, most of our jobs aren't that hard but are time-consuming. I think it'd be helpful to have a master list of tools somewhere. My coworkers showed me tools they used that I'm starting to put together.

Hey Analyst 1 in RE - Comm, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:

More suggestions...

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
