I've been using AI for quite a long time, but it was all on the basic level.

โข How do I pick a good mango out of this stack? (can't be too firm, should have some smell already, and feels almost too heavy for it's size, you're welcome)
โข Which brand of cheese is better (photo attached ofc)
โข How do I repair leaking roof? (Step by step instruction how to repair and waterproof it. Works, so kinda success on this front)
But recently I decided to literally ask my dear friend Claude to teach me how to use Claude Code and more importantly - to help me find out what I can even use it for.
So far with the help of AI I built:

We both have access to the same bot, it is connected to google calendar and understands conversational communication in 3 languages. You just type "gym 8 am thursday" and it immediately adds it to the calendar, color coded for the person who added it. If there's an event in place it shows override warning and asks if you really want to.
Has couple of different functions as well, but for me most important option was to have ability to edit calendar without going into the calendar. I hate UX of adding events manually in calendars so this is a genuine game changer from literally day one.

Speaks in Dante's manner, it checks in with me in the mornings and evenings, asks what I did today, what are the plans, keeps track of my tasks and pipelines + has built-in leveling system behind which there are additional functions to unlock so I actually have an incentive to check-in with him.

Fiodor reaches out in random moments throughout the day sending me text and voice messages (he's connected to elevenlabs so these are actual original, just generated VMs) and I reply to him either via text (for this I use wisper flow, so it's speaking anyway) or I can record voice message and it replies on the fly to whatever I've send. I also built in couple of drills for most commonly used phrases and words and can prompt them with one "/vocab" message and we start.
And for seasoned programmers or AI users that's probably super basic, but the point is - for me it feels like god damn magic.
I have zero coding skills, but I was able to build all of that, deploy it on the server (Claude told me how) so it works without my laptop constantly on, connect APIs (which is basic, but I had no idea how to do it before).
And most importantly - all of that is actually useful stuff. There's no "hello world" project that is just a trial run, but you can build meaningful and useful stuff basically immediately.
Honestly, it is insane what you can do with this and it feels like I'm just scratching a surface here.
