7 Ways AI Can Help You at Work
AI is changing how we work now, not in some far-off future. Here's how it's showing up in everyday office stuff: 1. Gmail Email Drafting with Gemini: If you're on Google Workspace, Gemini can draft, edit, and summarize emails & docs right in Gmail and Docs. 2. Smarter Slack: Slack's AI (Slack AI) lets you: * Summarize unread messages * Search for answers across your workspace * Get daily digests of what you missed 3. Excel/Sheets Made Easy: Excel Copilot or Google Sheets’ AI can analyze data using simple questions. Ask "what's the sales trend from last quarter?" and get visual answers. 4. Quickly Find Internal Docs: Notion AI or Google Drive’s improved search helps you find stuff like "that pitch deck from February" without needing the exact file name. 5. Automate Tasks: Use Zapier or Make.com for AI workflows: e.g., new form entry → auto-send Slack update → update CRM. How are you using AI at work?

A Software Enginner 2 was asked 2mo ago
Q. Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the kth largest element in the array.

Find the kth largest number in an array using sorting or a min-heap approach.

  • Sort the array in descending order and return the element at index k-1. Example: [3, 1, 4, 1, 5], k=2 -> 4.

  • Use a min-heap of size k to keep track of the largest k elements. Example: [3, 1, 4, 1, 5], k=2 -> 4.

  • Consider edge cases: if k is greater than the array length, return an error or a specific value.

A Software Enginner 2 was asked 2mo ago
