 How Anyone Can Harness Next-Gen AI for Insight, Speed, and Clarity

Series: #AI Tidbits by Kannan M. 1

Ever wondered how smart research can go beyond quick answers?

AI tools today can do much more than you think—free, practical, and ready to change how you discover, create, and communicate. With a few focused steps and the right prompts, you can unlock AI’s full power. This series guides you, one step at a time.

Sample Case: Balanced Advantage Funds (BAF)—Research Beyond the Basics

Recently, I used Perplexity Labs—an advanced AI tool available free through Airtel’s Perplexity offer—to analyze Balanced Advantage Funds (BAFs).
Most people skip investment topics, but this workflow isn’t just for finance: It's for anyone who wants better answers and less noise, whatever the subject.

My Practical AI Workflow—Table Format for General Use and My Example

Step	For Any Researcher	My Actual BAF Analysis Example
1	Turn your idea into a focused question—clarity is key.	Defined the BAF risks investors need: drawdown, recovery, not just returns.
2	Write specific prompts for your AI tool—detail what you want.	Crafted prompts in Perplexity Labs for hard-to-find risk metrics and fund models.
3	Review the first output—revise, refine, repeat till it’s right.	Iterated prompts until answers matched my research standards.
4	Eliminate irrelevant or vague info—get to the core.	Filtered out marketing talk and non-comparable data from results.
5	Verify every key fact—cross-check, think critically.	Checked every metric vs.  factbooks and expert reports.
6	Summarize and communicate findings—make it your story, not AI’s.	Built clear tables, explanations, and visuals for investors.

Sometimes 7 or 8  steps, depending on the project. See my infographic for a quick visual of this workflow—your steps might vary as you grow.
