Useful utility software created by blue collar workers to solve real world problems
Grok 4.5 really is useful. It built a full food service establishment database and scheduling software for monitoring of their industrial waste.
The software it replaced was written by a S&P 500 GIS company that must have cost so much.
It was created by the boots on the ground people who needed a tool that the corporate and IT people could not figure out.
It is amazing and generally useful to have such power and convenience to solve real world problems and be able to do it while not being a SWE.
Normal people without tech skills can now create tech tools to do their blue collar jobs.
Here are some pictures below.
