I’m a network architect at a smaller publicly traded company. I have avoided AI as it is mostly geared towards general topics or software development. Every time I would query network topics, the AI would generate old information.

I started using Claude to see if it would be helpful during troubleshooting as we started experiencing extreme slowness during peak hours with no discernible logs or command output showing what the issue was. With Claude, I was able to determine it was a hardware issue in about a 20 minute session. This forced me to overhaul the corporate campus network over a weekend in a 36 hour marathon.

ClaudeAI came in clutch as fuck during the overhaul. From checking config, to further troubleshooting when I was 30 hours in and my brain was fried.

With Claude, it was like working with TAC without the delays, data gathering, and trying to keep TAC on target. Claude was spitting out troubleshooting commands that aren’t in the official documentation. It was an awesome experience.

It’s the first AI I have tried that is useful to my job, and I am so impressed with it.
