Questions people ask

Real. Every job here was drawn from what people in real roles were actually seen doing in Express — not a feature checklist.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
