How I Use AI Tools Daily as a Student and Research Assistant

Being both a student and a teaching/research assistant requires managing
assignments, grading, emails, meetings, and personal projects.

AI has become my silent partner in making all of this work.

How I Use AI Daily

1. Research Summaries

I use AI to break down long academic papers into structured summaries,
but I always verify the references manually.

2. Cleaning Data

Pandas scripts, SQL cleanup, formatting — AI helps me work faster and avoid small mistakes.

3. TA Responsibilities

• Drafting rubric explanations
• Writing announcements
• Formatting attendance reports
• Preparing slides

4. Brainstorming Projects

Many of my portfolio systems (InvestWise, AutoDutyChecker, AVA)
started as rough AI-assisted drafts and grew into full projects.

The Rule That Matters

AI doesn’t replace thinking — it amplifies it.
When used well, it removes friction so you can focus on creativity and problem-solving.
