I have repetitive tasks I have to do each month regarding payroll and it used to take me a full day to do. Now maybe 1-2 hours.
I already had the logic down for each report but AI helped me convert that mental logic into a reusable script. No joke, in some cases it turned the task itself for a single report from an hour to three minutes or less.
It became a matter of drag and drop of a report, select which prompt to run, and give it twenty seconds. Even that wasn't fully optimized. I suppose I could have made it so I can upload a dozen reports at a time and have it figure out which is which, and run the appropriate prompts and further sped up the process from 1-2 hours to 30 minutes. And this is each month.
I still consider ways to make it even faster. It's just diminishing returns. Every improvement will take an hour or two to revise the code, for smaller time savings. But over a year it would absolutely be a time saver to do.
I imagine in a few years it'll go from saving me hours per month to saving me two whole work weeks per year.
