I've used it for varuious things like OCR, data analytics, some webscraping projects, as a backend server, for a Reddit and Discord bot, for a LOT of quick local scripts to massage data, and for various DSA problems. There are also plenty of libraries for using it for interfacing with LLMs, cloud capabilities, and performing more traditional AI/ML work.

It's a tool, whether as a standalone thing for automation, big data, analysis, research or as part of a larger ecosystem of moving parts. It's up to you how to use it.

file organizer that watches a folder and sorts stuff by type/date automatically was the first one that actually felt useful to me, then I moved on to a script that scrapes a site I check daily and pings me only when something changes instead of me refreshing it manually. if you want db-adjacent automation, something like a script that dedupes/cleans messy csv or db exports is genuinely useful too, way more practical than another to-do app.
