I help run a microbiology / phage biology conference. Our team is tiny and volunteer. Previous years we needed an army of interns / undergrads to do a lot of the work; this year we're using an Army of Interns. Tasks include: - doing a baseline check for submitted abstracts - summarizing / listing out key points of abstracts - creating visa letter drafts for international travelers - creating invoice documents for large groups - abstract submissions are done via an optional upload > extract > form filling workflow with an LLM, where it just fills in the form for you (things like author names, correspondence, abstract text, etc.) which saves a bunch of time Basically I have code (sometimes AI, sometimes not) doing the heavy lifting here, instead of bossing around a bunch of undergrads. Undergrads are also prone to getting distracted, hallucinating facts, making mistakes, etc. so it's not so different than before, except we save gobs and gobs of time.
