My newbie journey

For perspective, I’m not a developer. I’m a property insurance claims guy. About 5 weeks ago I asked AI a pretty simple question: “I have 11 PTO days left this year. How do I get the most time off with them?” It gave me an answer. I said put it in Word. Then Excel. Then make it interactive. Let me change PTO days, holidays and preferences. Then…could we make this an app? And boom. That changed how I looked at AI. Since then I’ve basically followed the same process: Define the problem → provide the facts/inputs → explain the rules and constraints → define the desired outcome → ask AI how to improve the approach → give it the tools it needs → test it → repeat. Five weeks later, that approach has taken me from a PTO question to the multi-agent insurance claims system I mentioned above. I still don’t know how to code in any meaningful sense. What I do know are the problems in my field and what a good outcome should look like. That may be enough to start. Pick a real problem you understand, solve one piece, then ask “what could we do next?” Still learning—and I’d love to hear what people further down this road would add or change.
