@drjaviercarlin says his "AI coworker" designed a door-knocking flyer for his painting company.
How it went
Four rounds of revisions on his feedback produced a print-ready PDF in 12 minutes start to finish.
Worth knowing
Read every claim on the flyer before printing (licensed, insured, warranty, prices). AI happily writes things you can't back up.
