My most used Alfred things beyond launching apps/files:

* Clipboard history (screenshots on clipboard in the history is extra useful)

* Snippets using the date placeholders {datetime:short} for various file naming and email workflows

* Snippet shortcuts for things I always forget like the shortcut for → and ™ or my zoom meeting link that I paste into meeting invites

* Launching simple shell scripts by keyword

* Workflow for opening Jira tickets in my browser quickly

* Search notes workflow for quick access to everything in the Notes app

* Soulver workflow for using the Soulver engine in Alfred for doing quick calculations

I was a Quicksilver user that never quite got into Spotlight. I'm betting these days some of these workflows can be accomplished with Spotlight and other apps but Alfred has worked very nicely for me.
