    Home use for AI: Our user manuals, warranty cards, etc. were totally unorganized and in several locations. As I&amp;#39;m grouping them roughly alphabetically, I&amp;#39;m snapping a picture of the cover of each. Claude scans the photos and generate a spreadsheet with the category, brand, model or product, Item type, and documentation type. It pulled it all from the photos and created a spreadsheet, no typing required. You could do the same for a record collection, book collection, or anything...

    One of the benefits of AI assisted development that I&amp;#39;m sure many practitioners understand but I don&amp;#39;t see talked about much, is the ease of keeping documentation up to date.
