I watched a YouTube video a while back on where an accountant was using Claude to analyze client bank statements and upload to QuickBooks. Was pretty impressive.

I'm working on a project that will standardize journal entries across all 20+ divisions we operate in. It's a heavy fricking lift since no 2 divisions do things the same way. Eventually, we take the statements, populate the JE, and post to the ERP.

Historically, RPA automations like this would take a long time to develop (requirements would take even longer). But I'm basically building out the automation while requirements are being sorted out. So I'm building and pivoting on the fly as more details surface.

What are the coolest applications/projects everyone has been working on? I feel like I've built some pretty incredible things, but I worry it's to industry specific to eventually market to other types of businesses.

Wow I love this house map view haha

2 months ago, Claude's Cowork wasn't in my toolbox; now it's my most used tool.

I don’t come out of vscode anymore. I’m using Claude code for 98% of my workday.

I am an RPA (robotic process automation) developer at a Fortune 500 company. Like all major companies we have started heavily incorporating AI tools. I've really enjoyed using it as it's taught me a lot and has improved my productivity. But I believe we are moving really fast without much planning. People don't seem to understand that while Claude and other AI tools can help ship faster, it does not always get everything right and does not have the business knowledge. Currently dealing with vague requirements, scope creep, pressure to ship daily updates across multiple projects with a very small team (by very small team, I mean me, since I am the one who has dove in head first). It feels unsustainable - especially at my current pay rate, but that is a different discussion.

I am curious what other people are experiencing out there. Few discussion prompting questions here for ya:

- What is your role and what industry are you in?
- Did your company already have any type of automation in place before the AI push, and if so...what were you using?
- Who is spearheading the AI transformation at your company? Is it leadership, IT, or someone else?
- Are you feeling pressure to move faster than is realistic or is your team handling the pace well?

I am also about to start looking for my next role, and I am trying to figure out what good actually looks like before I land somewhere new. So if you have seen a company handle this well, I would love to hear what made it work.

Yup just had to wait a while for it.

Did he not think they were gonna tag up?

This is such an LSU 2026 inning.

Aw man. I think they should’ve left this pitcher in.

Need more home runs

We’re gonna outhit them and lose again due to shoddy defense
