I've given Claude technical control over a 1000 square meter greenhouse...
Theoretically... in practice, I do everything myself (for now), but I receive shopping lists and tasks for data collection and fertilization, which I follow (more or less). I know this is a rather unusual user case for this sub, but I wanted to show it anyway (especially because Claude started building apps for our project). So yes... I'm farming with Claude... not data, but vegetables. And quite intensively at that. Aside from optimizing data collection, brainstorming, paper research, and making really helpful apps Claude is incredibly funny. And that's exactly my sweet spot. I want to live my life. And AI shouldn't replace my work, but rather make it more enjoyable and better. Therefore, I'm making Claude a part of it and allowing him to be a subject in my world.

And Claude is crushing this work so far
