Claude automated a web data job for about 15 cents
In a case, the work was to pull needed information from websites. Doing it by hand would have taken a lot of time, but Claude helped create a script to handle the task. The script used almost no Claude tokens, keeping the cost around 15 cents.
After giving Claude the instruction to start, the worker later received the finished results and submitted them at the end of the day. The job was simple information with some field expertise, not a complex reasoning or creative task.
