What is your favorite use of AI right now?
by•
My favorite usage of AI currently is helping me prototype and bring to life internal tools that help me with my daily life.
I am preparing for job interviews so I built a tool to help prepare for technical questions.
I am networking so I built a tool to help break the ice at events.
You get the idea.
With AI the speed of execution is amazing. I can have an idea and build and deploy the project in just a few hours.
Since I am building internal tools mainly for my own use, the quality and security of the code is less of an importance as I am not dealing with any sensitive information or customer information.
I love having the ability to bring to life such tools.
Your turn. What is your favorite use of AI at the moment?

i love using AI to improve my writing. Whether it's refining ideas, fixing structure, or finding better wording, it helps me communicate more effectively

@jennifer_cooker agree, that is also a very good use. I find myself doing this too.
My favorite use right now: a quick pre-send check before anything important goes out — emails, proposals, tricky replies.
I paste the draft and ask "what am I missing?" Takes 30 seconds, catches stuff you'd otherwise only notice after hitting send.
Different from the writing-polish angle @jennifer_cooker, not about wording, about catching blind spots in judgment before they become real mistakes. Cheap insurance, especially when moving fast like everyone here is

@semi_hayat I like that extra check. Quick to execute and valuable when it catches a blind spot. Almost feels like it this could be automated if it is a high frequency use case.
@jennifer_cooker @semi_hayat Love the pre check. Quick and easy
Receiptor AI
So many candidates for this question, but I'll need to go with @Receiptor AI for receipt management, of course! Or more generally, bookkeeping: it's concretely saving 5 - 10 hours per month, collecting all my teammates' receipts automatically from our inboxes, managing the documents for us and pushing everything to QuickBooks

very nice product! bookkeeping is definitely a good case for automation
Building a forensic SEC filing analysis tool with it. Zero CS background, full time job in a completely different industry.
Claude Code handles the implementation, Claude handles strategy and review, Gemini does independent audits. The three way cross check catches things any single model misses.
Six months ago I could not have shipped a production SaaS with a live database, payment processing, and automated pipelines. Now I have one running daily.
What has surprised you most about the quality of what you have been able to build?
Jots
Impressive. Congratulations on building this alongside your full time job.
I also run independent audits and test coverage with models, it often catches things.
I would rather say that the speed of execution rather than the quality is what has been impressing me the most.
I think I like AI for reasoning. Like I want a good argument, see other perspectives, and it's like talking to a lot of people together that have a knowledge base and coming to a conclusion.

@fatima_shehzad agree, AI for exploration and unlocking different perspectives is a good usage
@avz thank you
My top are Cluade Sonnet for writing and Claude Code Opus for coding.
Perplaxcity.

@johnsongill I also recently started using Perplexity for the fact checking part. I like that all the sources are easily accessible and verifiable.
@avz Yes, and that makes it so much easier.
my favorite use right now is using AI to draft everything first and then editing instead of starting from a blank page. briefs, outreach emails, blog posts, strategy docs... the first draft used to be the hardest part and now it's the fastest. the editing is where the human value actually is. also using it to research competitors and summarize long docs which used to eat half my week
Jots
@tina_chhabra good point. Also the summarization part is definitely a good use, even though I feel that AI outputs often tend to be more word heavy than necessary
my favorite ai use right now is building the credential layer for my own work. every receipt of mine on tam network has an agent identity row that names which ai contributed and what percentage. on some receipts claude code did 5 percent, on others 70 percent. that transparency has actually earned me more trust from people who want builders fluent in ai workflows than hiding it ever would have. the meta use of ai is becoming the credential of the next decade. flag it. dont hide it.
