In this brief monologue, Nicolas Cole highlights the frustration of repetitive, low‑value tasks—specifically proofreading. He shares personal anecdotes about repeatedly missing spelling errors despite multiple reviews of his own books. Cole argues that for such tasks, users should not merely ask an AI like Claude for advice via chat; instead, they should have the AI perform the work directly, turning a tedious, error‑prone activity into an automated process.

You want to automate very tedious tasks. An amazing example of a tedious task that I hate doing and is very inefficient: proofreading. I write a lot. I hate proofreading. It's like the most boring thing on earth. And it's also easy to mess up. Like, I can't tell you how many times I've written and published a book and I've proofread the entire book 10 times and then I publish it and I still find 7 spelling errors. And so think of these really tedious, time-consuming tasks as things that you don't just want Claude's opinion on, which would be the chat function. You want Claude to actually do it for you.
