Python use cases

Prototyping & DesignCoding & Engineering

Terry Lin built Cooper's Corner, a voice-powered Apple Watch and iPhone fitness app, by combining low-tech index-card prototyping with a structured AI coding workflow in Cursor and Xcode.

Outcome: He turned rough workout-logging friction into a working multi-device app workflow while keeping the AI coding process bounded by requirements, review, commits, and refactoring.

Creative MediaResearch & Analysis

Built AI workflows for documentary post-production at Florentine Films: a searchable media database for archival assets, an iOS field-research app for physical archives, and a Mac OCR tool for difficult historical documents.

Outcome: Turns tedious archival logging into structured, searchable research material. Images, video, audio, physical archive photos, and hard-to-read documents become easier to describe, tag, search, and reuse in documentary storytelling.

Knowledge ManagementResearch & Analysis+1

Built a personalized Claude Code system for task management, automated academic research, and modular context files that make AI collaboration easier with shorter, simpler prompts.

Outcome: Turns Claude Code into a personal operating layer for knowledge work: daily tasks are generated from Markdown files, research appears as a digest, papers are summarized automatically, and context files help Claude give better feedback without long prompts.
