Hello all! I’m not a traditional coder, programmer, or IT guy. I simple have jumped on the AI LLM tech and find it very useful. However, I’m trying to find out how to use AI for my own benefit in my personal life, to try and build a career, work, job, ideas, or what have you. I’ve been experimenting on and off for one year, and for your information I’ve only been using Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Grok this past 1 year (on their website interface). I quickly understood that some works better than the other, and I have faith in Gemini and Claude. For my use case currently, I’m just paying for Gemini with what I can afford due to token limit being greater than Claude. This last year, I found out that you need to become a good “prompt engineer” to utilize the AI and for my current project where I’m trying to find an edge by backtesting commodity markets, I landed on a suggestion (I’m talking to Gemini 3.1 Pro, paid, and Claude 4.6 Sonnet) to use some kind of PSP file management, where I hand off the .md files to Gemini Gems and Claude Projects. However, I’m seeing all sort of stuff, from OpenRouter, Llama thing, and more. I see people in multiple posts write some advanced way of working and setting up their systems. I also see many mentioning agents. I have no clue about this field, and want to learn! The only thing I can say for certain is that I know some websites (AI LLM) models work better than the other. I know that writing proper prompts give better results. I learned to download VSCode and install Python. Other than that, I don’t know anything else. Basically: How should I work with AI? How should I manage files? How should my workflow be? How should I set up my process? Once again, I’m new to this, and I want to learn from you guys who have expertise and experience. I find that my current way of talking to Gemini, testing the output, then copying my input and the output in a Markdown format and pasting it to Claude, then testing the output there, and do the same back to Gemini - going back and forth, is taking up too much time and I don’t even know if I’m doing it “properly” submitted by /u/Subtyr
