The AI wrote the system docs I owed before I could retire

He let the AI go through his system and write a first pass of the documentation, including the billing part he felt he had to finish before retiring. The remittances section alone used up a full day of tokens, so the work ran over several days, but it got done and let him retire, or at least half retire, a little earlier.

How it works

  1. Points the AI at the system
  2. It works through it section by section writing the documentation
  3. The remittances part uses up a full day of tokens
  4. He repeats over several days until the documentation is done

Why it’s worth knowing

The thing standing between him and retirement was not the software. It was the write up he owed on it, and the AI cleared that in days.
