It's about 85% code, 5% content gen and 10% media gen
Totally worth it's weight in gold for me 🤷♀️

@bindureddy Pardon my ignorance but as a company building AI assistants, what are you spending so many tokens on? I can understand research, scheduling messaging and such but most of that seems easy to tackle. What are the hard problems you are facing?

@bindureddy 12K/month on code-heavy spend feels like paying for scaffolding instead of architecture How do you know it’s not just expensive noise?
