I remember my early career days, spending days buried in data just to build a single dashboard. What a slog!
So, I tried something wild. I gave two AI powerhouses a massive 340-page AI trends report and a simple mission: “Build me a dashboard with all the highlights.”
Then I went to make my coffee. ☕
When I came back, both were DONE. Welcome to the future, folks!
🤖 My AI Assistants for This Showdown:
- Gemini Canvas (2.5 Pro)
- Perplexity Labs (Pro)
⚙️ Here’s How They Did It:
Both AI assistants followed a super-smart process that felt almost human. They basically:
- Broke down my request into smaller tasks.
- Called on the right internal tools to handle the job.
- Scanned the report and gathered all the juicy data.
- Wrote all the necessary files for the dashboard.
- Did a final self-debug and presented the finished product.
This whole thing took minutes. It’s a total game-changer.
💡 So, what’s our job now?
Our role is shifting. We’re the directors! We just need to give clear guidance and nudge the AI in the right direction if it gets stuck. That’s it.
📌 A Quick Heads-Up on Accuracy:
The charts weren’t 100% perfect because the AIs had to estimate the data from the PDF document. For maximum accuracy, always give your AI raw data files (like a CSV or Excel sheet) to work with. It makes a huge difference!
This is just the beginning. I can’t wait to see what other practical use cases we’ll all discover.
