👋 Welcome to goudplevier.ai

AI isn't just for data scientists anymore. It's becoming essential for business analysts, product owners, and operations teams who want to work smarter, faster, and with more clarity.

This newsletter is your edge. Every Sunday, you'll get hand-picked tools, deep insights, and tactical use cases — no fluff, no hype.

Let's dive into our first issue.

🔍 Deep Dive

The End of Manual Analysis Is Here

"AI isn't replacing your job. It's replacing the parts you didn't like anyway."

Imagine this: you're asked to summarise 4 months of customer feedback, identify top pain points by segment, and present insights to stakeholders by tomorrow.

Before? That's 2 days of manually tagging entries, building pivot tables, and cleaning text data.

Now? A single LLM-powered workflow using Claude, DeepSeek, or GPT-4 can:

  • Categorise feedback into meaningful clusters
  • Prioritise pain points by volume and sentiment
  • Draft 3 key insights and suggested responses
  • Format it all into a slide deck outline — in under an hour

What changed?

  • LLMs can now interpret unstructured text like interviews, surveys, transcripts
  • Prompt design has evolved into repeatable workflows
  • Business teams are embedding AI into Jira, Notion, Excel, and even Slack

And it's not just analysts:

  • PMs are drafting PRDs from support logs
  • Ops teams are generating monthly reports via AI
  • Founders are summarising investor Q&A with a few clicks

Your role isn't being replaced. It's being upgraded.

Manual analysis is over. Prompt-first thinking is in.

🛠️ Tool of the Week

ChatGPT + File Uploads

📊

ChatGPT + File Uploads

What it does:

Let's say you've got 3 spreadsheets, 1 PDF of survey responses, and a stakeholder brief in Word. Upload them. Then ask:

  • "What are the top concerns from enterprise customers this quarter?"
  • "Summarise product usage trends and draft a follow-up strategy."

Why it's powerful:

  • You skip 80% of prep work
  • You go from raw data to strategy in minutes
  • You sound more prepared in meetings (and you are)

Real example: One BA used this setup to generate a QBR deck outline from CRM exports and ticket summaries. What used to take 6 hours? Now 45 minutes.

Case Study: Strategic Insights in 30 Minutes

Company: Fintech scaleup with 200k users
Challenge: Product leadership needed to identify reasons for churn in SME segment

Old way:

  1. Export user survey + CRM tags
  2. Drop into Claude 3
  3. Ask: "Cluster reasons for churn among SME accounts. Rank by frequency. Propose 3 mitigation tactics."

Outcome:

  • Insights delivered to leadership by end of day
  • Suggested product improvements based on real feedback
  • Team decided to templatize the process for monthly churn reviews

This is what an AI-native analyst workflow looks like.
