I use Claude and other AIs all the time.

A single chat will give me a component. Another will give me a small Python script, Mermaid diagram, Markdown file, or utility that addresses the issue I faced that day.

And then it's gone.

The AI doesn't fail. The problem is what happens once it comes up with something useful, as it ends up locked away in a chat history that wasn't designed to serve as an index.

After a week, I only remember creating "that CSV helper" or "that JSX tool to compare options." I'll remember a few keywords used in the prompt, but not the chat, date, or even which AI generated it. Re-discovering it requires digging through old chats, scrolling, and hoping that I recognize the relevant result.
