I've put 85 photos of plant tags from my garden center in this folder. Help me plan four flower beds with different sun levels, then price everything and make a list I can use in the store.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish. Goal: Turn a pile of nursery photos into a garden plan, a priced shopping list and a phone-friendly guide for the store. Questions to ask me first: - How many beds are there, how much sun does each get, and roughly how big are they? - What do you want from the garden (colors, bloom season, wildlife, pets or kids to keep safe)? - Which store's prices should I use, and what's the budget? Inputs (fill in or confirm): - Folder of plant tag photos: [PHOTO FOLDER] - Beds, sizes and sun: [BEDS] - Goals: [GOALS] - Store and budget: [STORE / BUDGET] Rules: - Read each tag and list the plant name, sun needs, height, spread and bloom time; mark any tag you can't read. - Flag plants that are toxic to pets or unsafe around kids, if pets or kids are mentioned. - Place taller plants at the back and match each bed's sun level. - Use only prices you can find on the store's site, with the date checked; label anything estimated. Checkpoint: Show me the plant list from the photos and your bed-by-bed plan before pricing anything, and wait for my changes. If you get stuck: If a plant's price or details can't be found, say so and suggest a similar plant you can confirm. Verify before you finish: Check the quantities fit each bed's size, the totals add up, and every plant in the plan came from my photos. Output: A bed map, a spreadsheet with quantities, prices, subtotals per bed and a total, and a simple page with a photo of each plant for my phone. Done when: I can walk into the store with a priced list and know exactly which plants to pick up.

Outcome
Emily Gransky had four planting areas to fill, a dog, often-visiting little kids and a wish list: flowers for butterflies and hummingbirds that also repel mosquitoes and bunnies, with color from spring to fall. Gransky put 85 phone photos of nursery plant tags in a folder Claude Code could open. It asked questions Gransky hadn't thought of, read the tags in every photo, priced each plant at Mahoney's in a spreadsheet with subtotals by bed and a grand total, drew a bed map by depth and bloom time, and made an HTML page of plant photos to use on a phone in the aisle.

Design a 3D-printable backpack clip for a hydration tube with Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity (partial)
Yadullah Abidi needed a replacement clip to hold a hydration bladder's 14mm drinking tube on a closed webbing loop measuring 57 x 24mm on a backpack strap. For MakeUseOf, Abidi gave Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity the same measurements and prompt, with each connected to FreeCAD to build, check and export the part. Codex made the cleanest model, but its T-head had no positive lock. Claude Code iterated and produced a clip that worked, but at 24 × 61.8 × 36 mm it was bulky and needs refinement. Antigravity needed three tries, once showing ASCII art, and its best design was closest to the intent but used wrong dimensions. Abidi printed all three; none was a clean win.

Sergio Fajardo Jr's son is 2, a picky eater, and has been on the 1st percentile for weight since birth. Fajardo built a small web app with Claude Code so both parents can log every food they offer and how far their son gets with it: ignored, touched or ate. It takes four taps per food, and Fajardo says they can now see what's working.

Mads Lorentzen, a geophysicist by training, lost their position in late 2025 and built a Claude Code workflow to run the job search: profiling their own skills, scraping Danish job portals, evaluating fit, and drafting and reviewing each tailored application, plus interview prep. Lorentzen used it weekly and told every employer about it, which they say usually sparked a technical conversation rather than counting against them. Sixty-nine tailored applications, twenty first interviews and one signed contract later, Lorentzen started as an AI engineer in June 2026, and published the workflow as an open-source project.
