LLMs
For example if I need to generate a long formula for excel or power apps, I could write it myself or I can just tell the LLM the parameters and it will do it in 1/10th of time.
If I need to create course material, I can shove in bullet points for my key topics and have it expand it into a first draft for me. This concept I actually use a lot more than just for course material. It's great at generating drafts of everything from statements of work and quotes to presentations (Co-Pilot in 365)
I know how to do the job without it, so hallucinations are easily caught and cleaned up. It's a tool to speed me up, not replace me.
