I think my productivity at work would be most dramatically increased not by auto-completing my code (although that too would be nice) but rather by reading all the company Confluence pages and providing short summaries in plain language, connecting together information that is split into dozens of unconnected pieces, each of them written in a different place and often requiring different access rights. Maybe even more by reading all the existing code and configuration files, and updating the documentation with something that is actually true and can be interpreted unambiguously.
That’s a great idea… that would get me fired at my current job (security reasons). :D
I hope you have that automated, because you will probably want to refresh the exports in a few months, but even if you did it manually I believe the ability to get instant answers is worth it.
Yeah, I haven’t got it automated yet. Someday I’ll have the time.
Another place I did this was with the mountain of onboarding docs I got. Now I can just ask Claude stuff like “how early do I have to request time off and who do I contact?” or “What’s my dental insurance deductible?”

I just started a new job and I’ve been exporting Confluence pages to PDF and putting them in a Claude project so I can just ask Claude stuff.
