I used claude to create a piece of software that can render gerber files (essentially vector files used in electronics manufacturing), overlay another gerber file on top of it with exact alignment, and then provide a GUI for manually highlighting components. The program then calculates the centroid, the rotation, and prompts for a component designator. This all then gets stored in a properly formatted Place file, which is used for automating assembly. The day before this I was quote $1000/yr/user for software that could do this for us.
