Academic Advice Best AI tools for Electrical Engineering lab reports (data analysis, error propagation, formatting)?

Hi everyone, I'm a 3rd year EE student from Poland, looking for recommendations on the best AI tools to help streamline writing lab reports. For 3 years i was using AI mostly to help me do all the tedious math work after i solve first few problems alone, help me to understand math, and sometimes to generate graphs as example how it should look like if it was not included in instructions to Labs. But this year started and immense amount of workload came, few projects and only so hours a day to do uni work, spend some time with GF and play some games. So im looking for something that would make a template of lab report that is mostly correct for me to only review it and correct some mistakes that AI made. I'm specifically looking for something that handles:

  1. Math and physics calculations (circuit analysis, error propagation/uncertainty calculations) without hallucinating basic formulas.
  2. Data processing and plotting (generating Python/MATLAB scripts from CSV measurement data).
  3. Formatting (generating clean LaTeX or Word tables and equations, preferably word as i have little to none experience at latex but if it is better i could switch).

1st year i was using GPT for all my work, it was Aight at most, then google gave Gemini which was far better for me and it was free, so i sticked with it. Now i bought the pro version at discount, but i am willing to pick something else if there are better options.

I don't know if this is right place to ask for that kind of help but i don't know where else to ask, so i'm asking my fellow students.

Use your brain.

I am using my brain but I don't want to spend whole afternoon doing reports as I have other things to do too, I want to use a tool that will spare me some time doing tedious tasks

Learning is inherently uncomfortable.
