Ask HN: How have you or your firm made money with LLMs?
In many currently active threads, members of the community are alluding to major productivity gains with more recent LLM models. I think it would be illuminating for all of us to hear what sorts of problem domains and lines of business these successes have occurred in.

A good example would be: "My team used Claude Code Opus 4.5 to build and ship an iOS fitness app that now has 10k paying users." This shows that the results of your process found paying customers.

Less helpful example would be: "My team is closing tickets faster than ever" or "I finally finished the novel I have been working on and my friends say it's great!" These are less interesting because they do not give us any insight into the market response.
