Hi everyone, I'm wondering how everyone is using AI in their work, or have any interesting tools they use. Here are a couple of my go-tos: Goblin.tools : this is a really helpful tool for neurodivergent folks like me, and it has a lot of features including a "magic todo" list which helps to break down large tasks into smaller subtasks NotebookLM : this tool is nice because you can upload documents and get summaries in various formats, including an AI-generated podcast(!) I'd be interested in what other tools you use in your daily work life.

Hi Julie, can you repost your thread? For some reason, I only see it on the messaging board and not an email thread. I want to make sure that others can see it. Thanks.

The Sofware AI tools that I use, some only at home due to institutional restrictions, include the following: Grammarly (Talk about a crutch, if there ever was one) I also am experimenting with NotebookLM and it does seem to be a WorkLife improvement tool. I am interested in seeing how it develops further and utilizing it at conferences this year. On the professional side, we have institutional access to co-pilot and trialed both Web of Science research assistant and Scopus AI. Both are improving, but I had far more issues with Scopus in terms of data output, as it would reference articles outside the scope of the query. This resulted in the output files not being as accurate as they could be and, in some cases, completely incorrect.

Hi Julie, Davin, and everyone~! Exciting times and welcome to the AI SIG! On the personal side, I underwent certification programs on the topic of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and all before the tools were popularized, so I know what is involved. I use all sorts of them available to me, especially if they are free, and love the nostalgic feeling of their past developments and the knowledge behind them. Love the attention they have been receiving and the impacts and directions they are each going as I encounter each and everyone's thoughts and experiences about them, and I hope the folks behind some of the educational materials that were taken off were well compensated for, as I do recognize their work among some of the products popularized today. If you would like to find some interactive visual aids to gain ideas of and even to help you present and share how AI works without creating your own or even spending money on others, try: https://globe.engineer/. On the professional side, I'm trying to discover the historical work behind the encouragement of transition from manual to computerized work. It was a bit fast at hospitals and I can see why--the monetary incentives--and how it was done--generational change in workforce through at least education and certain privileges, and it sounds like we need to remember how libraries transformed from physical card catalogs to introduction of at least computers within the library environment.

I use Gemini (on my personal google account because my institution restricts its use on my institutional google account) or copilot (when I can get it to work) to write the framework of Analytics SQL formulas for me. I don’t know SQL, but I can edit existing ones, and 19 times out of 20 it gets me most of the way there. It’s a real time saver over having to trawl through stackoverflow threads.
