What are some good use cases for this? Something that a business can be built around

It's main use case is making the average office worker feel the same existential dread that some programmers feel when they see a LLM spit out a bunch of code in mere seconds.

And when having to pick up the pieces when someone actually uses the thing.

Thats the real dread

You're not far off. Anecdotal but I shared the Anthropic demo video and a few articles in a company slack and a lot of PM's/admin folks that are only tangentially aware of LLM powered use cases at this point shared that sentiment. Welcome to the party folks!

I don't normally go for comedy on HN but this one got an audible chuckle.

TBH, while I giggle at the thought of anybody being replaced, I dont think it's likely, it's just that the standards and expectations have shifted in some domains. I think if anything LLM's raised the tide for everyone (in relevant roles) and we're all able to move a little faster now, like when we went from abacus to calculator a while back, just a different scale of magnitude.

A lot of automations around softwares without APIs.

QA...

There are dozens of RPA businesses. UIPath etc.

We had one that was a simple download from here and login and upload there. Having the accounting team be able to automate that versus devops is huge.

Have you seen UiPath? The enterprise automation business is massive.
