In today’s fast-paced business world, research isn’t just about gathering information — it’s about synthesizing data, drawing insights, and delivering actionable recommendations.
As Senior Executive Assistant to BELAY CEO Tricia Sciortino, Cameron Dusky is a master of efficient research. But instead of spending hours combing through articles, presentations, and webinars, she leverages AI to streamline the process — without sacrificing depth or accuracy.
"AI doesn’t replace the critical thinking side of research,” explains Cameron. “Instead of wasting time sorting through irrelevant information, I can focus on what matters: analyzing, strategizing, and delivering the most valuable insights to Tricia.
“It allows me to take in more sources than I ever could find manually. That way, I know I’m not just finding one or two sources — I’m finding the best, most relevant information."
Here’s how Cameron uses AI to cut through the noise and deliver high-impact research in record time.
Traditional research means hours of reading, summarizing, and structuring information. With Gemini AI, Cameron can:
"Before AI, if I had a report or a 50-slide deck to analyze, I’d have to comb through every detail myself, taking notes as I went. Now, I can drop that content into Gemini, and within minutes, I have an organized summary that highlights key themes and takeaways. Instead of spending my time sorting through the noise, I can focus on the most critical information.
“Plus, I can cast a wider net, pulling in more sources than I would have time to read, so I can present Tricia with the best insights — not just the ones I had time to manually find."
Time Saved: 3-6 hours per week
Executives like BELAY CEO Tricia Sciortino both consume and produce a vast amount of knowledge through webinars, keynotes, and podcasts.
Cameron uses Searchie to:
"Instead of watching an hour-long webinar to find one key insight, I can search the transcript instantly and get exactly what I need. Before, I had to either take extensive notes during a live session or spend extra time rewatching key parts to ensure accuracy.
“Now, AI allows me to pull the bits I need easily — whether it's from a podcast, a recorded keynote, or a panel discussion. I’m not just relying on what I can personally watch or listen to in a day. AI scans everything for me and gives me what’s relevant."
Time Saved: 1-3 hours per week
By using AI to handle the heavy lifting, Cameron ensures that her research is:
"My job is to make sure Tricia has the best possible information to make the best possible decisions. AI allows me to do that faster with better results.”
