The analyst’s day is full of research. Now, this is the age of AI and AI is here to help, isn’t it? As everyone is talking about copilots and AI agents, why not using the tools at hand to do a little research on research. NB., no one really has a good definition of an AI agent, so this might become an additional topic for research. But I digress. Imagine the following project at hand, which is not only interesting for analysts, btw, but also for a variety of roles in the corporate world. Let’s call it vendor (competitor) monitoring. The job is the following: Research reputable sites for news about a number of vendors, relating to a set of keywords. Reputable sites are high quality news sites, high quality tech publications, high quality analyst sites and, of course the news pages of the vendors in question. Limit the time frame of the search matching to the cadence of my information requirement, e.g., “yesterday” for a daily update or “last week” for a weekly update Provide a summary of the news Give an assessment of how the news affects the positions of the vendors in the marketplace re the key words in question Provide these news with their assessments as a prioritized list, sorted from high impact to low impact Add an executive summary as a preface Send it to me as an email So far, so simple. After all, a lot of folks, yours truly included, do this every day. And it is taking quite some time. So, this job is a perfect one for an automated update...
