Home use for AI: Our user manuals, warranty cards, directions, etc. for electronics, appliances, etc. were totally unorganized and in several locations. As I’m getting them out and grouping them roughly alphabetically (folders for every few letters), I’m snapping a picture of the cover of each one. Claude is then able to scan the photos and generate a spreadsheet with the category (e.g., manual, warranty, directions), brand, model or product, Item type, and documentation type. It pulled it all from the photos with OCR and created a spreadsheet, no typing required.

You could do the same for a record collection, book collection, or anything similar. Just snap a photo and let AI create the catalog.
