So I had articles, reviews, emails, phone calls, all sorts of stuff. I found it very easy to just use Copilot as my interface and I just data into it over and over and asked it to organize it.\n\nhttps://github.com/joshuabremer/chicago-allergy-eats\n\nThis seems like a common thing where people would be working on a longer-term research or data collection task where you use the LLM to answer questions or help you accept the data. Does anyone have a standard format for this? Or an example that is working for you?\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48836288](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48836288)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-how-you-manage-local-long-lived-research-projects-and-llm-s", "canonical_source": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48836288", "published_at": "2026-07-08 19:23:27+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-08 19:42:57.929922+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["large-language-models", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Copilot", "Joshua Bremer"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-how-you-manage-local-long-lived-research-projects-and-llm-s", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-how-you-manage-local-long-lived-research-projects-and-llm-s.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-how-you-manage-local-long-lived-research-projects-and-llm-s.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-how-you-manage-local-long-lived-research-projects-and-llm-s.jsonld"}}
