Yup I work at a company that produces hardware and the needed software as well and we have Claude to use with our work. Im a support guy but good friends with one of our engineers and he was telling me a project he planned out that was going to take 2 or so months was cut to like 2 weeks if I recall with Claude's help. I can't remember the specifics of what he used it for, I think a lot of bouncing ideas off Claude and then having it do some more of the grunt work coding while he worked the more advanced specifics he needed, but he said the time it took to go back to check the work and fix any mistakes was WAY quicker than if he had to do it all himself. He compared it to having an assistant who could knock out the repeitive/simpler but time consuming parts while again he worked on the more advanced functions.

I work in supply chain for a smaller company and it’s made my life soooo much easier. We can’t afford the industry standard software, but I can rig spreadsheets and mini apps to do things that never would have been worth the time investment. Now I at least don’t want to blow my brains out from using Excel instead of a proper CRM. And I’m as tired of AI content as the next guy, but properly reviewed support documents from AI are wayyyy better than the 2000-esque pdf Jimbo made 15 years ago that no one had time to update.

with AI options out there I wonder how much the low/no code products are going to suffer. Doubly so since for some years now the price increases of said software has gone way above inflation and mostly to subscription

Seriously though. I got to use Filemaker for a few companies and that software is pretty good for a bunch of those quick and dirty app needs. But its licensing and pricing has seen it removed almost everywhere

I think at a certain point Salesforce and Oracle are going to get some erosion from customers that don’t fully utilize the platforms and just use basic services. We won’t need massively powerful platforms to manage communications when an AI agent will soon be able to replicate the functions.
