I have been using this tool for months and these are the use cases that actually work in real life. No theoretical examples, just the things I do weekly.
Why it matters
Here's something I learned the hard way: the best AI tool isn't the one with the most features. It's the one that explains what it's doing. When I first started coding with AI assistants, I'd get suggestions that looked correct but fell apart the moment I tested them. Claude was the first tool that walked me through the reasoning — not just the answer, but how it arrived there. That changed how I work.
For for business, the same rule applies. You want a tool that gives you a workflow, not just a result. Something you can repeat, debug, and improve over time — not a black box you have to trust.

Real example prompts
For solo work:

I'm on a small team. We need to automate and improve business workflows. Suggest a workflow, the prompts we'd need, and how to measure success.
For client work:
Generate 3 different versions of [output] for client X. Each should be on-brand and ready to send after light editing.
What works, what doesn't
Works well: Tasks with clear inputs and well-defined output formats. Repetitive work where you have an example to point to.
Less effective: Open-ended creative work without examples. Tasks needing real-time data. Decisions that need human judgment.
Quality bar: Plan to spend 30-90 minutes on the prompt. The difference between a good and bad prompt is 5-10x in output quality.
