I see no reason to believe that just handing a Claude subscription to everyone in a company simply creates economic benefit. I don't think it's easier than "automating customer service". It's actually very strange.

I think it could definitely already create economic benefit, after someone instructed clearly how to use it and how to integrate it in your work. Most people are really not good at figuring that out on their own, in a busy workday, when left to their own devices and companies are just finding out where the ball is moving and what to organize around too.

So I can totally see a lot of failed experiments and people slowly figuring stuff out, and all of that not translating to measurable surpluses in a corp, in a setup similar to what OP laid out.

I wish people in my company even used their Claude code or Cursor properly rather than asking me non-sense questions all the time that the model can easily answer with the connected data sources. And these people are developers.

This shit will take like 10 years to adopt properly, at least in most boomer companies.

I use these all the time nowadays and they are great tools when utilized properly but I have hard time seeing it replace functions completely due to humans having limited cognitive capacity to multitask and still needing to review stuff and build infra to actually utilize all this..
