I am the CEO / Sole Worker-Owner of my CAD Automation company.

I use the AI to solve problems in domains like customer communication, tax compliance and accounting, sales, pricing, marketing, product design, software engineering, and business process automation problems.

Without the AI, I know bits and pieces about all these domains but I struggle with execution, delegation, getting overwhelmed, and putting important things on the back burner.

With the AI, I'm a dreamer CEO that actually gets production work done!

Tax and accounting? Sounds dangerous, given LLMs have a penchant for making up citations (when having been asked to write research papers) with plausible sounding (but made up) information, titles, authors, etc. (or some combination of those - e.g. fake paper title but real author names).

How do you know it’s actually referenced things from real tax codes that are actually applicable to you, without extremely careful fact checking (which would take at least as much time as an expert would take to give real advice?)? Seems it could very easily do things like fabricate plausible sounding answers based on tax laws that are, for example, a mix of different laws from jurisdictions you aren’t in…

I came to the same conclusion that you did. Where it helped was letting me delegate.

With the help of the AI I was able to get my stuff together and bring it to a CPA.

Before that I was in kind of paralysis for a couple years, not filing taxes.
