Have been asking my friends at VCs / investing firms what AI tools they use and the answers are surprisingly similar + narrow (2-3 tools, all for pretty similar functions)

yeah i have similar 

notetaker (tactiq or gemini)
chatgpt/claude/gemini
notion AI
slack

- notetaker for meetings (pretty wide variance here, but Otter and Granola seem to be popular)
- chat-like research interface (ChatGPT or Claude most common answers)
- some firms have their own internal OS that does a lot more than just sort of the basic tools above

I'm sure there's also AI embedded in a lot of ops functions that folks on the investment team may not see (e.g. expense management, maybe CRM-type stuff, etc)

tools also require changing your habits which temporarily results in lower productivity
