Ask HN: Anyone using Cursor/Claude Code for non-coding workflows?

4•opuslabs•23h ago
Most of the AI terminal tools (Cursor Agent, Claude Code, Continue.dev, etc.) are marketed around coding assistance, but I'm curious how far people have pushed them beyond that.

Has anyone here used these agents purely as general-purpose operators, e.g. for writing, research automation, bulk file/knowledge base refactoring, inbox processing, shell task orchestration, etc.?

100% I drive a shell all day long, there’s no reason to drop to a browser to copy and paste. Just create new folder, init, start the conversation and have it take notes/write docs. It’s a splendid way to work. Plus if you name the folder something meaningful you can always go back without needing to scroll through vaguely named chat conversations

I've been using it to claude and continue (I work here) to manage issues and projects. Just started playing around with managing notion docs from the command line.
