I have changed my career path and thus I'm no longer doing data analysis in my daily job now, so I'm genuinely curious nowadays, in real work settings, which part of the work do you use AI the most or do you think should be handled by AI?

If I were to speak about it, I feel like data cleaning, data standardization, data profiling, data visualization, SQL writing and these labor-intensive work can all be done by AI. Do we just need to split the work, assign the task and review the results with our judgement?

I have exited the BA career since 5 years ago, so I'm genuinely curious nowadays, in real work settings, which part of the work do you use AI the most or do you think should be handled by AI?

If I were to speak about it, I feel like the note-taking, meeting minute, document reading, deck making, data analysis can all be done by AI. The only part which cannot be done by AI is probably the communication with stakeholders?

Curious to know about this! I see very complicated ones to simplified ones both. What really is harness to an entry-level developer vs to an experienced developer? Are they different? What's the harness setup that's a must?

I'm not coming from a computer science / engineering background, so your insights are very much appreciated!

My heart is still racing while writing this, but I had to share because I've never felt the "utility" of AI in making a deck more than I did two hours ago.

My colleague and I were assigned a high-stakes presentation for one of our executive board members. We split the work 50/50. I finished my half days ago, and he promised his half was "coming along great" and would be merged by this morning.

I finally saw the full deck 2 hours before the meeting. It was a disaster! Like really?! I was shocked! (I came from a consulting background and I have high standard for slides you know...)

The slides they built were a mess of "wall-of-text" bullet points, low-res stretched images, and zero cohesive flow. It looked like a middle school project, not a professional pitch. I felt the blood drain from my face. There was no way I could manually redesign 20 slides while also rehearsing the talk. Either we "die" here today or we better make it presentable NOW!

Then I remembered we should have our scripts ready, so I tried to save my life and thank god it worked!

1. I grabbed one of the "text-heavy" slides and dumped the raw content into TRAE SOLO and Gemini simultaneously (cuz I didn't know which one was better and I didn't have time to wait). I told them: "Turn these rambling paragraphs into 3 punchy, high-impact bullet points for an executive audience."
2. Then for the ones with low-res stretched images, I attached the original image as a reference and the scripts on the image and asked the 2 to generate a graphic slide, not an image for me.
3. Honestly TRAE SOLO won over Gemini. I didn't have time to fine-tuning Gemini which I believe fine-tuning could lead to better work from Gemini. So I repeated for all other slides in TRAE SOLO and in the end asked it to generate a unified layout and font.

In about 45 minutes, I transformed a "career-ending" deck into something didn't look bad. There were for sure improvements I could still make but good enough is good enough.

I did a quick 10-minute audit of formatting, fixed two typos, and walked into that meeting. The meeting went well... At least the deck didnt ruin it.

I honestly wasn't expect it and I used to think AI-generated deck is nothing ready to be delivered. Wow the world is changing so fast! Today, it literally saved my professional life!

Are you still making decks yourself or if you are using AI in some way, what's your best practices? Truly wondering where all the deck masters at now?

Thank you for taking your time reading through my heart-attacking experience today! I feel much peaceful after writing this down. Truly wondering has anyone else had a "save of a lifetime" moment where AI stepped in when you were genuinely screwed?
