@simon I So hope that they are giving you free access and perhaps even paying you for the work you do.

@lewiscowles1986 I’ve secured enough free credits from various giveaways that I’ve not paid for any API access in over a year at this point

@simon I'd love to see a Youtube video of your workflow in that kind of exploration.
You developed your own process when working with Claude and I’m always fascinated to see you create these small tools. I'd love to know more about how you think on the moment, and then how you deploy them / make them more permanent
