Daniel Deceuster used to go to his colleagues for all manner of things big and small. If he needed to convert a rectangular logo into a square, he'd message one of the designers.

Meal planning stresses me out, so I let Claude handle it instead
One of the biggest problems I have with AI is that it can do so many things that it's hard to know where to start. I decided to see if Claude could solve one of my biggest frustrations. The results were impressive, and I barely had to lift a finger.
