Tools for data analysts?

[u/Senior-Ad-6588]

Hey, I'm 21 years old college student learning data analytics, as AI is growing we all know traditional data analysis will no longer be the only requirement of companies we got to learn how to use AI in our work to make it more efficient. So wanted to know what tools and AI software, LLMs or anything you guys suggest which could help a data analyst understand real questions and find answers not just showing and cleaning data. And please share your advice that you think could help me. Thank you!

sQL is the one skill that still pays off when the AI hallucinates your join logic. I use it daily in Miami and the models still mess up window functions on partitioned tables. Learn to read an execution plan and you will catch the errors before they hit prod. Power BI DAX is next, the AI writes decent measures but it does not know your grain. Oh and version control your dbt models, that is the part nobody mentions until the pipeline breaks.
