This presentation introduces AI-powered Linguistics Research Assistants developed using ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Designed for academic research, these tools streamline data collection and analysis for both qualitative and quantitative investigations. One of such tools is the Subject Pronoun Variation AI Research Assistant. We demonstrate specifically with this custom-made AI tool how tailored prompts and workflows support real-world research projects in linguistics, language pedagogy, and related fields of inquiry. The session will showcase live examples of data extraction and coding. The session will also offer guidance on designing discipline-specific assistants. While grounded in linguistics, the approach is transferable across academic fields.#AITools #ResearchSupport #Humanities
