I would never have the power to have AI just do everything. I like to create, not have some slop machine do whatever.

AI is far from doing everything in my setup. just looking for incremental wins to see if my slop machine can be useful.

Cool! How much does this setup cost you, roughly?

$48/month for the droplet (could probably be cheaper on Hertzner) and $100/month for OpenAI plan. so ~$150/month but again this could be cheaper with a different VPS and using Terra/Luna.

I also have a claude max plan for coding but like I mentioned in the article coding is still separate from the agents.

What is the total monthly spend, approximately, on all this; if you don't mind saying, of course?

I actually went down a different path and set it up so my friend and I can use the same agent with approval-gated turns. He's more technical than I am, but I believe I'm better at marketing. We can see both of our prompts and be on the same page. There is also a mode where we can branch off with our own agents. Watching his prompts made me better at producing my own and using the agent effectively.

That's neat. You could do this with Buzz by just having open room conversations with agents.
