How helpful are AI tools for things like CDD, ODD, and Synergy analysis? Feels like for CDD it could really speed things up, but would love hear your experiences!

The actual analysis itself is mixed but for slides it literally writes 95% of content

Good news on the slides, that usually takes a lot of time. Can you say more about why the analysis is mixed and what pitfalls to look for?

Which tools have worked best for you all?

AI replaces half the BS that these directors and MDs think they know..

Use it or lose it.

It makes commercial due diligence a lot easier. I basically use it as a supercharged version of Google. Makes research a lot faster. I have heard good things about slides, but I haven’t tried it yet. I heard it can fill out industry overview slides incredibly well

Helpful but full of traps. And when you pair AI tools with partners who cant give up their micromanagement (commas, specific words, styles etc), than AI can create additional work. Have to still re-word many things to fit partners style, while being expected to deliver a project in 1-2 weeks, where before you had 4 weeks. And for every number or timeline AI spits out you have to go to the source and validate it.
