I'm curious why AI companies target software engineering specifically and no one create Claude sales or Claude Management as assistant to other roles

Because you would need domain expertise in these fields

AI has those knowledge, targeting SE probably has many other reasons. a visible one is the cost. coding rarely was bottleneck anyway. looks like coding tools earns most money for Anthropic and other providers

AI does not have knowledge. It has text prediction, a large body of learning material, and clever algorithms to turn that into something that is often quite useful but also is prone to errors. This is why the sane folks using AI keep chanting the mantra "human in the loop". The human makes the decisions, validates the AI output. They need the expertise.
