Question: how does ai speed up getting information about your job

It really depends on your workflow, but for me AI saves a lot of time.

Instead of digging through long datasheets, app notes, standards, or research papers, I use it to quickly pull out key specs, compare parts, explain tricky concepts, and point out design trade-offs.

For example, I use AI to:

– Pull out the important parameters from long datasheets and even suggest alternative parts

– Get up to speed quickly on new IC architectures, protocols, or power topologies

– Summarise the useful bits of standards (like EMC or safety) without reading hundreds of pages

– Debug faster by getting likely causes based on symptoms, schematics, or error descriptions

– Create quick starting points for simulations, test plans, firmware, or documentation

It’s also great for ramping up in areas I don’t work in every day, like RF, signal integrity, or embedded, because it gives clear explanations and practical design insight.

Overall, it cuts down the time spent searching and filtering information, so I can focus more on actual design work, testing, and trying new ideas.
