About the archive

I ran operations for years. The AI stories I trust are the dull ones: a named firm, one job and a number someone will put their name to.

This archive lists AI use cases for firms of 10 to 200 people and a few solo operators. Each entry has the result, the source and a prompt you can paste in to try the job before you buy anything. [Prompts are written by me to help you try each use case, and aren't taken from the firms or their sources.]

I've opened every source myself. Plenty are written by the supplier, so they're marked as Vendor story. Read the Check before trusting note on each entry before you get excited.
