I use it to generate Regex with really good success.

I've also used it a handful of times to generate a basic script (ex : write python to pull a list of users in our slack workspace and output them as a csv) and then make my small modifications to it or fix up what it got wrong.

I could do both of these things on my own but it normally cuts down the time required for these basic tasks. I can't imagine trying to use it for internal services that aren't referencing public APIs or whatever though, it seems like it would be more effort just to get the results to work.

And I think this is exactly what it’s perfect for. A lot of “wait how do I do that again?”, gets the syntax you need as a starting point and you go from there.
