But in one week, I was able to dollars. But in one week, I was able to dollars. But in one week, I was able to clone the core functionality of it with clone the core functionality of it with clone the core functionality of it with just a few prompts and now it's free for just a few prompts and now it's free for just a few prompts and now it's free for me. So, in this video, I'm going to show me. So, in this video, I'm going to show me. So, in this video, I'm going to show you guys what I built, give it away for you guys what I built, give it away for you guys what I built, give it away for free, show you how you can get set up free, show you how you can get set up free, show you how you can get set up for yourself, and talk about exactly how for yourself, and talk about exactly how for yourself, and talk about exactly how much this cost me to actually build. So, much this cost me to actually build. So, much this cost me to actually build. So, let's not waste any time and just get let's not waste any time and just get let's not waste any time and just get straight into today's video. All right, straight into today's video. All right, straight into today's video. All right, so just going to jump right in. This is so just going to jump right in. This is so just going to jump right in. This is called Snag Time. You can see that we called Snag Time. You can see that we called Snag Time. You can see that we have to sign in. I've already created an have to sign in. I've already created an have to sign in. I've already created an account. So, I'm just going to go ahead account. So, I'm just going to go ahead account. So, I'm just going to go ahead and log in. And now we are at the home and log in. And now we are at the home and log in. And now we are at the home screen. You can see we have an overview. screen. You can see we have an overview. screen. You can see we have an overview. We have my branding. This is my We have my branding. This is my We have my branding. This is my workspace called Upet AI. I can see my workspace called Upet AI. I can see my workspace called Upet AI. I can see my upcoming bookings. I can see how many upcoming bookings. I can see how many upcoming bookings. I can see how many I've had this month. I can see how many I've had this month. I can see how many I've had this month. I can see how many hours I've booked and my published hours I've booked and my published hours I've booked and my published links. So, how many different event links. So, how many different event links. So, how many different event types I have. I can see all of my types I have. I can see all of my types I have. I can see all of my upcoming bookings right here. And I upcoming bookings right here. And I upcoming bookings right here. And I could go in find some more details. I could go in find some more details. I could go in find some more details. I could also reschedule or cancel. So, if could also reschedule or cancel. So, if could also reschedule or cancel. So, if you guys have used Calendarly or stuff you guys have used Calendarly or stuff you guys have used Calendarly or stuff like cal.com before, it's very similar. like cal.com before, it's very similar. like cal.com before, it's very similar. You're getting the same functionality. I You're getting the same functionality. I You're getting the same functionality. I can come down here to my settings and I can come down here to my settings and I can come down here to my settings and I can change my workspace, my password, my can change my workspace, my password, my can change my workspace, my password, my profile photo. I can invite other profile photo. I can invite other profile photo. I can invite other members and have different like members and have different like members and have different like permissions whether they're a member or permissions whether they're a member or permissions whether they're a member or an admin. And I can set up my workspace, an admin. And I can set up my workspace, an admin. And I can set up my workspace, image, colors, descriptions, stuff like image, colors, descriptions, stuff like image, colors, descriptions, stuff like that. So, what I thought I'd show you that. So, what I thought I'd show you that. So, what I thought I'd show you real quick is what is an event type and real quick is what is an event type and real quick is what is an event type and how does that actually work? So, if I go how does that actually work? So, if I go how does that actually work? So, if I go to my event types, you can see that I to my event types, you can see that I to my event types, you can see that I have a revenue strategy session. I have have a revenue strategy session. I have have a revenue strategy session. I have this test and all of these were pretty this test and all of these were pretty this test and all of these were pretty much made during testing. I've made a much made during testing. I've made a much made during testing. I've made a few of these myself, like the paid few of these myself, like the paid few of these myself, like the paid sculping session. Yes, I've connected sculping session. Yes, I've connected sculping session. Yes, I've connected Stripe. So you can actually book in paid Stripe. So you can actually book in paid Stripe. So you can actually book in paid calls. And then we've got this regular calls. And then we've got this regular calls. And then we've got this regular strategy call. So let me first just do a
-
strategy call. So let me first just do a strategy call. So let me first just do a simple one real quick. And by the way, simple one real quick. And by the way, simple one real quick. And by the way, all of these say local host, meaning all of these say local host, meaning all of these say local host, meaning right now I'm running all of this right now I'm running all of this right now I'm running all of this locally. So in order to actually get locally. So in order to actually get locally. So in order to actually get this up and running so you can send, you this up and running so you can send, you this up and running so you can send, you know, links to clients and have them know, links to clients and have them know, links to clients and have them book in, you'd have to put it to some book in, you'd have to put it to some book in, you'd have to put it to some sort of public domain on let's just say sort of public domain on let's just say sort of public domain on let's just say Versell and then all of this is fully Versell and then all of this is fully Versell and then all of this is fully working. So when you get in here to set working. So when you get in here to set working. So when you get in here to set this up, you're just going to have to this up, you're just going to have to this up, you're just going to have to connect things like your Google account, connect things like your Google account, connect things like your Google account, a backend database, and your Stripe a backend database, and your Stripe a backend database, and your Stripe account. And if you guys want to get account. And if you guys want to get account. And if you guys want to get this for free, all you have to do is go this for free, all you have to do is go this for free, all you have to do is go to my free school community, which looks to my free school community, which looks to my free school community, which looks like this. The link is in the like this. The link is in the like this. The link is in the description. You'll go to classroom, and description. You'll go to classroom, and description. You'll go to classroom, and you'll go to all YouTube resources. you'll go to all YouTube resources. you'll go to all YouTube resources. You'll be able to grab the whole setup You'll be able to grab the whole setup You'll be able to grab the whole setup guide in there and get set up in one guide in there and get set up in one guide in there and get set up in one day. So, anyways, let me go ahead and day. So, anyways, let me go ahead and day. So, anyways, let me go ahead and copy this link, open up a new tab, paste copy this link, open up a new tab, paste copy this link, open up a new tab, paste that in here, and show you guys what that in here, and show you guys what that in here, and show you guys what that actually looks like. This booking that actually looks like. This booking that actually looks like. This booking flow, you can see that I've set up for flow, you can see that I've set up for flow, you can see that I've set up for this to be the description. I could this to be the description. I could this to be the description. I could obviously change that. This is coming obviously change that. This is coming obviously change that. This is coming through as our custom branding, and I'm through as our custom branding, and I'm through as our custom branding, and I'm going to be able to go ahead and choose going to be able to go ahead and choose going to be able to go ahead and choose a date and time. So, this is live to my a date and time. So, this is live to my a date and time. So, this is live to my real calendar. I'll go over to the real calendar. I'll go over to the real calendar. I'll go over to the actual calendar. We're looking at actual calendar. We're looking at actual calendar. We're looking at Friday. You can see that I can only book Friday. You can see that I can only book Friday. You can see that I can only book in from 2 to about 3 and then from 4 to in from 2 to about 3 and then from 4 to in from 2 to about 3 and then from 4 to 4:30. And this is the real calendar. So, 4:30. And this is the real calendar. So, 4:30. And this is the real calendar. So, you can see all day tomorrow is blocked you can see all day tomorrow is blocked you can see all day tomorrow is blocked off in the morning and then 3:00 to 4 is off in the morning and then 3:00 to 4 is off in the morning and then 3:00 to 4 is blocked off. So, this is coming through blocked off. So, this is coming through blocked off. So, this is coming through as accurate. And then if I go to like as accurate. And then if I go to like as accurate. And then if I go to like next week, there's nothing at all next next week, there's nothing at all next next week, there's nothing at all next week besides these two calls. Um 9:00 week besides these two calls. Um 9:00 week besides these two calls. Um 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Monday. And if we a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Monday. And if we a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Monday. And if we come back into the booking link and I go come back into the booking link and I go come back into the booking link and I go to Monday, you should see that we don't to Monday, you should see that we don't to Monday, you should see that we don't have 9:00 a.m. up until 11:00 a.m. So, have 9:00 a.m. up until 11:00 a.m. So, have 9:00 a.m. up until 11:00 a.m. So, this is syncing live. If I was to on this is syncing live. If I was to on this is syncing live. If I was to on Monday real quick put in some big block Monday real quick put in some big block Monday real quick put in some big block from like 1 till 6. We'll just call this from like 1 till 6. We'll just call this from like 1 till 6. We'll just call this busy. We go back over here. Oops, wrong busy. We go back over here. Oops, wrong busy. We go back over here. Oops, wrong tab. We just give this a quick refresh.

tab. We just give this a quick refresh. tab. We just give this a quick refresh. And now if I go to Monday, all those And now if I go to Monday, all those And now if I go to Monday, all those times are blocked off. So it's syncing times are blocked off. So it's syncing times are blocked off. So it's syncing live. Anyways, I'm going to go to Friday live. Anyways, I'm going to go to Friday live. Anyways, I'm going to go to Friday and I'm just going to book in for 4:15. and I'm just going to book in for 4:15. and I'm just going to book in for 4:15. And we're going to move on to the next And we're going to move on to the next And we're going to move on to the next screen. This is where we can obviously screen. This is where we can obviously screen. This is where we can obviously put in some information. So I'm just put in some information. So I'm just put in some information. So I'm just going to put in Nate uh sample email going to put in Nate uh sample email going to put in Nate uh sample email address, which actually is real. We're address, which actually is real. We're address, which actually is real. We're just going to call this test and test. just going to call this test and test. just going to call this test and test. And then we can go ahead and review the And then we can go ahead and review the And then we can go ahead and review the booking. This page though, I could ask booking. This page though, I could ask booking. This page though, I could ask more questions when I create an event more questions when I create an event more questions when I create an event type. So, I'll show you guys that in a type. So, I'll show you guys that in a type. So, I'll show you guys that in a sec. But then I'm able to just go ahead sec. But then I'm able to just go ahead sec. But then I'm able to just go ahead and confirm the booking. And then this and confirm the booking. And then this and confirm the booking. And then this is the screen that the user who is is the screen that the user who is is the screen that the user who is confirming or setting up the booking confirming or setting up the booking confirming or setting up the booking sees. They get a little notification. We sees. They get a little notification. We sees. They get a little notification. We can reschedule or cancel it. And then if can reschedule or cancel it. And then if can reschedule or cancel it. And then if I go back to my calendar and I go to I go back to my calendar and I go to I go back to my calendar and I go to Friday, we now see that we have the Friday, we now see that we have the Friday, we now see that we have the strategy call with that email address strategy call with that email address strategy call with that email address that put that in right there. And then that put that in right there. And then that put that in right there. And then right here, I'm in the actual email that right here, I'm in the actual email that right here, I'm in the actual email that I just signed up for that booking call I just signed up for that booking call I just signed up for that booking call with. And you can see right here, we got with. And you can see right here, we got with. And you can see right here, we got the invites on our calendar, and I'm the invites on our calendar, and I'm the invites on our calendar, and I'm just able to go ahead and accept that. just able to go ahead and accept that. just able to go ahead and accept that. So, back in the actual app, what does it So, back in the actual app, what does it So, back in the actual app, what does it look like to make an event type or edit look like to make an event type or edit look like to make an event type or edit one? Well, if you want to edit one, you one? Well, if you want to edit one, you one? Well, if you want to edit one, you just come in here, you click edit, and just come in here, you click edit, and just come in here, you click edit, and then you're able to change the color of then you're able to change the color of then you're able to change the color of it, you're able to change the it, you're able to change the it, you're able to change the description, the link, the name, you can description, the link, the name, you can description, the link, the name, you can change the location, you can change how change the location, you can change how change the location, you can change how the availability works. So, you can add the availability works. So, you can add the availability works. So, you can add a buffer, you can do a date range. So, a buffer, you can do a date range. So, a buffer, you can do a date range. So, very similar to Calendarly, and then you very similar to Calendarly, and then you very similar to Calendarly, and then you can also change what questions you're can also change what questions you're can also change what questions you're asking. So, you get full customization asking. So, you get full customization asking. So, you get full customization here on how many event types you need here on how many event types you need here on how many event types you need and what they need to do, all that kind and what they need to do, all that kind and what they need to do, all that kind of stuff. And if you're creating one, of stuff. And if you're creating one, of stuff. And if you're creating one, it's basically the exact same thing.
-
it's basically the exact same thing. it's basically the exact same thing. Name, description, booking link, time, Name, description, booking link, time, Name, description, booking link, time, all this kind of stuff. You have full all this kind of stuff. You have full all this kind of stuff. You have full customization here. And then you also customization here. And then you also customization here. And then you also get to, like I said, you can choose if get to, like I said, you can choose if get to, like I said, you can choose if it's going to be free or paid. And if it's going to be free or paid. And if it's going to be free or paid. And if it's paid, you set the price and people it's paid, you set the price and people it's paid, you set the price and people have to pay it. So, let me show you real have to pay it. So, let me show you real have to pay it. So, let me show you real quick what that looks like to go through quick what that looks like to go through quick what that looks like to go through a paid flow. So, I'm going to do this a paid flow. So, I'm going to do this a paid flow. So, I'm going to do this again on actually, let's go to Wednesday again on actually, let's go to Wednesday again on actually, let's go to Wednesday of next week. So, it's like completely of next week. So, it's like completely of next week. So, it's like completely open. I'm going to grab a slot at 10 open. I'm going to grab a slot at 10 open. I'm going to grab a slot at 10 a.m. We're going to move forward. This a.m. We're going to move forward. This a.m. We're going to move forward. This is going to be same person. So, this is going to be same person. So, this is going to be same person. So, this person is like really anxious to book in person is like really anxious to book in person is like really anxious to book in some time and get something figured out. some time and get something figured out. some time and get something figured out. And um also one thing I wanted to call And um also one thing I wanted to call And um also one thing I wanted to call out. So, like I just realized this was out. So, like I just realized this was out. So, like I just realized this was one of the manual improvements that I one of the manual improvements that I one of the manual improvements that I had to make. Also, this email is wrong. had to make. Also, this email is wrong. had to make. Also, this email is wrong. Um one of the manual improvements that I Um one of the manual improvements that I Um one of the manual improvements that I remember making was even though the remember making was even though the remember making was even though the agents clicked through all of this, they agents clicked through all of this, they agents clicked through all of this, they didn't find any bugs after they kept didn't find any bugs after they kept didn't find any bugs after they kept testing. But what I noticed was you as a testing. But what I noticed was you as a testing. But what I noticed was you as a human, you come in here and you think, human, you come in here and you think, human, you come in here and you think, "Okay, I'm on the review stage and I "Okay, I'm on the review stage and I "Okay, I'm on the review stage and I want to get back to the time. I want to want to get back to the time. I want to want to get back to the time. I want to click up here, right?" Cuz there's this click up here, right?" Cuz there's this click up here, right?" Cuz there's this little progress bar, but the UI little progress bar, but the UI little progress bar, but the UI originally was not designed to have originally was not designed to have originally was not designed to have these buttons be clickable. It was only these buttons be clickable. It was only these buttons be clickable. It was only designed so you would have to explicitly designed so you would have to explicitly designed so you would have to explicitly click on these arrows. And I don't know click on these arrows. And I don't know click on these arrows. And I don't know about you guys, but I would always about you guys, but I would always about you guys, but I would always immediately click on these rather than immediately click on these rather than immediately click on these rather than going to click on this little arrow that going to click on this little arrow that going to click on this little arrow that doesn't really cra capture my attention.
-
doesn't really cra capture my attention. doesn't really cra capture my attention. So, that's one of those things where, So, that's one of those things where, So, that's one of those things where, you know, later I talk about some of the you know, later I talk about some of the you know, later I talk about some of the other things that I did in this project. other things that I did in this project. other things that I did in this project. Um, but I came back and I did some Um, but I came back and I did some Um, but I came back and I did some redesigns on the user experience because redesigns on the user experience because redesigns on the user experience because even though the agents were really good even though the agents were really good even though the agents were really good at finding bugs, they didn't always at finding bugs, they didn't always at finding bugs, they didn't always think about the experience the same way think about the experience the same way think about the experience the same way that a human does. Even though I that a human does. Even though I that a human does. Even though I prompted them to, they missed something prompted them to, they missed something prompted them to, they missed something like this. And I just wanted to call like this. And I just wanted to call like this. And I just wanted to call that out because that is something I that out because that is something I that out because that is something I explicitly remember thinking to myself explicitly remember thinking to myself explicitly remember thinking to myself like that's going to be a much better like that's going to be a much better like that's going to be a much better user experience. So, anyways, let's go user experience. So, anyways, let's go user experience. So, anyways, let's go ahead and pay for this. What happens is ahead and pay for this. What happens is ahead and pay for this. What happens is it takes us to a Stripe booking link. it takes us to a Stripe booking link. it takes us to a Stripe booking link. So, it says confirming. It's going to So, it says confirming. It's going to So, it says confirming. It's going to take us over to a different link. Now, take us over to a different link. Now, take us over to a different link. Now, this is a sandbox environment. So, I'm this is a sandbox environment. So, I'm this is a sandbox environment. So, I'm putting in like this fake card, but all putting in like this fake card, but all putting in like this fake card, but all you'd have to do is switch out the API you'd have to do is switch out the API you'd have to do is switch out the API keys for a real Stripe. And then boom, keys for a real Stripe. And then boom, keys for a real Stripe. And then boom, it works. So, let me show you how that it works. So, let me show you how that it works. So, let me show you how that works real quick. So, what Stripe has works real quick. So, what Stripe has works real quick. So, what Stripe has you do is you use this number as a you do is you use this number as a you do is you use this number as a sandbox card and then you put in any sandbox card and then you put in any sandbox card and then you put in any combination here for these two things. combination here for these two things. combination here for these two things. And this would just simulate what it And this would just simulate what it And this would just simulate what it would actually look like for the user to would actually look like for the user to would actually look like for the user to go through this flow of putting in their go through this flow of putting in their go through this flow of putting in their card, paying, and there you go. Now you card, paying, and there you go. Now you card, paying, and there you go. Now you can see that we just got that paid can see that we just got that paid can see that we just got that paid scoping session notification with Nate scoping session notification with Nate scoping session notification with Nate at Wednesday, September 2nd, 10:00 a.m.
-
at Wednesday, September 2nd, 10:00 a.m. at Wednesday, September 2nd, 10:00 a.m. But yeah, that's basically it. It's a But yeah, that's basically it. It's a But yeah, that's basically it. It's a super super simple interface. Now, I super super simple interface. Now, I super super simple interface. Now, I will say it's missing some of the like will say it's missing some of the like will say it's missing some of the like automation functionality that Calendarly automation functionality that Calendarly automation functionality that Calendarly has, but that could really easily be has, but that could really easily be has, but that could really easily be worked in now that you have, you know, worked in now that you have, you know, worked in now that you have, you know, codeex or cloud code that is fully aware codeex or cloud code that is fully aware codeex or cloud code that is fully aware of this app existing and what you want of this app existing and what you want of this app existing and what you want to add to it. And you can also build to add to it. And you can also build to add to it. And you can also build those automations right in there if you those automations right in there if you those automations right in there if you please. Of course, you can come in here please. Of course, you can come in here please. Of course, you can come in here and do other things like change your and do other things like change your and do other things like change your availability if you want to work on availability if you want to work on availability if you want to work on Saturdays and Sundays. You can change Saturdays and Sundays. You can change Saturdays and Sundays. You can change your, you know, time of operation. You your, you know, time of operation. You your, you know, time of operation. You can change your time zone. You can add can change your time zone. You can add can change your time zone. You can add date override or you can add time off. date override or you can add time off. date override or you can add time off. And once again, now that this is yours, And once again, now that this is yours, And once again, now that this is yours, all you have to say is, you know, oh, all you have to say is, you know, oh, all you have to say is, you know, oh, can you just change how this works or can you just change how this works or can you just change how this works or can you add this functionality because can you add this functionality because can you add this functionality because now whenever you feel a painoint due to now whenever you feel a painoint due to now whenever you feel a painoint due to snag time, due to the way I built it, snag time, due to the way I built it, snag time, due to the way I built it, you just ask codeex or cloud code to add you just ask codeex or cloud code to add you just ask codeex or cloud code to add more functionality into this thing more functionality into this thing more functionality into this thing because you own the software layer. because you own the software layer. because you own the software layer. Okay, so now let's get into how I built Okay, so now let's get into how I built Okay, so now let's get into how I built this and what it actually looked like as this and what it actually looked like as this and what it actually looked like as far as like these stats. So before I get far as like these stats. So before I get far as like these stats. So before I get into these stats, let me talk about what into these stats, let me talk about what into these stats, let me talk about what I did because I really only shot off I did because I really only shot off I did because I really only shot off like five prompts. So what I did at like five prompts. So what I did at like five prompts. So what I did at first was I started off with a massive first was I started off with a massive first was I started off with a massive goal prompt and inside of this prompt, I goal prompt and inside of this prompt, I goal prompt and inside of this prompt, I was basically like, "Hey, I need you to was basically like, "Hey, I need you to was basically like, "Hey, I need you to essentially we're going to clone essentially we're going to clone essentially we're going to clone Calendarly here and and I want to be Calendarly here and and I want to be Calendarly here and and I want to be able to run it locally and for free."
-
able to run it locally and for free." able to run it locally and for free." Um, what I need you to do is kind of Um, what I need you to do is kind of Um, what I need you to do is kind of work in four phases. The first phase was work in four phases. The first phase was work in four phases. The first phase was research, the second phase was planning, research, the second phase was planning, research, the second phase was planning, the third phase was building, and then the third phase was building, and then the third phase was building, and then the fourth phase was actually testing. the fourth phase was actually testing. the fourth phase was actually testing. And then this kind of ran into this loop And then this kind of ran into this loop And then this kind of ran into this loop where it would test and then build and where it would test and then build and where it would test and then build and then you know test again and then keep then you know test again and then keep then you know test again and then keep going. But that's kind of what I said going. But that's kind of what I said going. But that's kind of what I said and I wanted to research Kalanley and and I wanted to research Kalanley and and I wanted to research Kalanley and Cal.com and research what people say Cal.com and research what people say Cal.com and research what people say they don't like about it and what people they don't like about it and what people they don't like about it and what people like about it and basically take that like about it and basically take that like about it and basically take that research into the planning phase where research into the planning phase where research into the planning phase where now we have the features and now we have the features and now we have the features and functionality that we're looking for and functionality that we're looking for and functionality that we're looking for and then planning out how are we actually then planning out how are we actually then planning out how are we actually feasibly going to be able to do this feasibly going to be able to do this feasibly going to be able to do this with sub agents and with a back-end with sub agents and with a back-end with sub agents and with a back-end database and with you know integrations. database and with you know integrations. database and with you know integrations. What does it actually look like? And What does it actually look like? And What does it actually look like? And then once it was able to do all that then once it was able to do all that then once it was able to do all that planning, it started building and it planning, it started building and it planning, it started building and it built and built and built. And then I built and built and built. And then I built and built and built. And then I had it go in this test loop where after had it go in this test loop where after had it go in this test loop where after it built, I didn't want it to give me a it built, I didn't want it to give me a it built, I didn't want it to give me a PC. I wanted it to put like 50 agents PC. I wanted it to put like 50 agents PC. I wanted it to put like 50 agents through it to have them go through the through it to have them go through the through it to have them go through the admin experience, the signup experience, admin experience, the signup experience, admin experience, the signup experience, the, you know, creating an event type the, you know, creating an event type the, you know, creating an event type experience. They they tested the thing experience. They they tested the thing experience. They they tested the thing for me so many times before I even had for me so many times before I even had for me so many times before I even had to get in there. So they basically went to get in there. So they basically went to get in there. So they basically went in this loop where they were building, in this loop where they were building, in this loop where they were building, finding bugs while they were testing, finding bugs while they were testing, finding bugs while they were testing, and then fixing the bugs and then and then fixing the bugs and then and then fixing the bugs and then testing again, finding more bugs, and testing again, finding more bugs, and testing again, finding more bugs, and fixing the bugs. And this alone went on fixing the bugs. And this alone went on fixing the bugs. And this alone went on for days. And I just think that whole for days. And I just think that whole for days. And I just think that whole like agentic autonomous testing loop is like agentic autonomous testing loop is like agentic autonomous testing loop is just so so cool. So anyways, after that just so so cool. So anyways, after that just so so cool. So anyways, after that what I did was I got my hands dirty a what I did was I got my hands dirty a what I did was I got my hands dirty a little bit and I didn't love what came little bit and I didn't love what came little bit and I didn't love what came back cuz initially what came back was an back cuz initially what came back was an back cuz initially what came back was an app that looked really really vibe app that looked really really vibe app that looked really really vibe coded. So my next thing I wanted to do coded. So my next thing I wanted to do coded. So my next thing I wanted to do was I wanted to rebrand. It came through was I wanted to rebrand. It came through was I wanted to rebrand. It came through and it was originally called Tempo Cove.

and it was originally called Tempo Cove. and it was originally called Tempo Cove. So, like locally, if I go into my So, like locally, if I go into my So, like locally, if I go into my project real quick, you can see right project real quick, you can see right project real quick, you can see right here that it's still a project called here that it's still a project called here that it's still a project called Tempo Cove inside of my Herk 2 because Tempo Cove inside of my Herk 2 because Tempo Cove inside of my Herk 2 because um that's what it wanted to name it at um that's what it wanted to name it at um that's what it wanted to name it at first, which I didn't love. So, I did a first, which I didn't love. So, I did a first, which I didn't love. So, I did a rebrand. Now, it's called Snag Time. I rebrand. Now, it's called Snag Time. I rebrand. Now, it's called Snag Time. I think that I kind of redesigned the UI a think that I kind of redesigned the UI a think that I kind of redesigned the UI a little bit better as well. So, we did a little bit better as well. So, we did a little bit better as well. So, we did a rebrand and sort of like a redesign. And rebrand and sort of like a redesign. And rebrand and sort of like a redesign. And this was just me giving some feedback. this was just me giving some feedback. this was just me giving some feedback. And then from there, what we did is we And then from there, what we did is we And then from there, what we did is we just did a bunch more testing. So, one just did a bunch more testing. So, one just did a bunch more testing. So, one thing that happened that it didn't catch thing that happened that it didn't catch thing that happened that it didn't catch was it was like really, really laggy. I was it was like really, really laggy. I was it was like really, really laggy. I don't know why, but it was so slow. So, don't know why, but it was so slow. So, don't know why, but it was so slow. So, we were doing like performance we were doing like performance we were doing like performance enhancements. Um, on the actual booking enhancements. Um, on the actual booking enhancements. Um, on the actual booking link, it just like my mouse was link, it just like my mouse was link, it just like my mouse was glitching, typing was slow, it just glitching, typing was slow, it just glitching, typing was slow, it just wasn't very responsive. So, we optimized wasn't very responsive. So, we optimized wasn't very responsive. So, we optimized that. I did a / goal prompt and I said, that. I did a / goal prompt and I said, that. I did a / goal prompt and I said, "Hey, I need you to cut down all of this "Hey, I need you to cut down all of this "Hey, I need you to cut down all of this like load time. I need you to make this like load time. I need you to make this like load time. I need you to make this like 10 milliseconds instead of like, like 10 milliseconds instead of like, like 10 milliseconds instead of like, you know, 1 second or whatever it was." you know, 1 second or whatever it was." you know, 1 second or whatever it was." And it did a lot of enhancement on the And it did a lot of enhancement on the And it did a lot of enhancement on the actual laggginess and the responsiveness actual laggginess and the responsiveness actual laggginess and the responsiveness of the site itself. I came back in. The of the site itself. I came back in. The of the site itself. I came back in. The fourth thing that I did was I did more fourth thing that I did was I did more fourth thing that I did was I did more um more designing. I mean, I I know it um more designing. I mean, I I know it um more designing. I mean, I I know it still doesn't look great, but like the still doesn't look great, but like the still doesn't look great, but like the UI oops, that's not how you spell it.
-
UI oops, that's not how you spell it. UI oops, that's not how you spell it. Not only was the UI a little bit weird, Not only was the UI a little bit weird, Not only was the UI a little bit weird, but the experience was weird. So, I kind but the experience was weird. So, I kind but the experience was weird. So, I kind of moved around some of the buttons a of moved around some of the buttons a of moved around some of the buttons a little bit. I'm obviously not a design little bit. I'm obviously not a design little bit. I'm obviously not a design expert, and like I said, this isn't like expert, and like I said, this isn't like expert, and like I said, this isn't like the most amazing thing ever still, but the most amazing thing ever still, but the most amazing thing ever still, but trust me, it's better than what I got. trust me, it's better than what I got. trust me, it's better than what I got. So really the point I'm trying to make So really the point I'm trying to make So really the point I'm trying to make here was showing you what I had to do here was showing you what I had to do here was showing you what I had to do was that yes the initial/go goal prompt was that yes the initial/go goal prompt was that yes the initial/go goal prompt was awesome and yes I was able to get so was awesome and yes I was able to get so was awesome and yes I was able to get so much done with just a few prompts but I much done with just a few prompts but I much done with just a few prompts but I don't want to also discredit how hard it don't want to also discredit how hard it don't want to also discredit how hard it is to build and scale a SAS product. I is to build and scale a SAS product. I is to build and scale a SAS product. I think there's a big difference between think there's a big difference between think there's a big difference between building a product that you can use building a product that you can use building a product that you can use internally for a small team and building internally for a small team and building internally for a small team and building something that you want to truly scale something that you want to truly scale something that you want to truly scale like tens of thousands of dollars per like tens of thousands of dollars per like tens of thousands of dollars per month inference databasing there's going month inference databasing there's going month inference databasing there's going to be so many bugs there's going to be to be so many bugs there's going to be to be so many bugs there's going to be so many feature requests even if I was so many feature requests even if I was so many feature requests even if I was to just adopt this fully internally to just adopt this fully internally to just adopt this fully internally which I want to I'm going to find so which I want to I'm going to find so which I want to I'm going to find so many bugs and I'm going to find so many many bugs and I'm going to find so many many bugs and I'm going to find so many things that I need to take ownership things that I need to take ownership things that I need to take ownership over or someone on my team needs to take over or someone on my team needs to take over or someone on my team needs to take ownership over so it's not just as ownership over so it's not just as ownership over so it's not just as simple as a few prompts and you now have simple as a few prompts and you now have simple as a few prompts and you now have something that can you know stand the something that can you know stand the something that can you know stand the test of time So, now that that kind of, test of time So, now that that kind of, test of time So, now that that kind of, you know, I guess kind of boring stuff you know, I guess kind of boring stuff you know, I guess kind of boring stuff is out of the way, let's talk about is out of the way, let's talk about is out of the way, let's talk about this. So, first of all, how long did this. So, first of all, how long did this. So, first of all, how long did this take me? Well, this actually took 5 this take me? Well, this actually took 5 this take me? Well, this actually took 5 days and 5 hours of actual agents days and 5 hours of actual agents days and 5 hours of actual agents running and coding, which I thought is running and coding, which I thought is running and coding, which I thought is pretty interesting. In total, this took pretty interesting. In total, this took pretty interesting. In total, this took this was like a twoe thing because, you this was like a twoe thing because, you this was like a twoe thing because, you know, I'd shoot off prompts and then I'd know, I'd shoot off prompts and then I'd know, I'd shoot off prompts and then I'd work on other videos and sometimes I'd work on other videos and sometimes I'd work on other videos and sometimes I'd be sitting there idle for a while. But be sitting there idle for a while. But be sitting there idle for a while. But actual working was about 5 days. So, in actual working was about 5 days. So, in actual working was about 5 days. So, in that 5 days though, it was an aggregate that 5 days though, it was an aggregate that 5 days though, it was an aggregate of 334 total hours of different agents of 334 total hours of different agents of 334 total hours of different agents running. Now they were running in running. Now they were running in running. Now they were running in parallel, doing things in parallel, but parallel, doing things in parallel, but parallel, doing things in parallel, but 334 hours of just straight codecs going

334 hours of just straight codecs going 334 hours of just straight codecs going to town on my account. And throughout to town on my account. And throughout to town on my account. And throughout this process, it only spun up 76 agents. this process, it only spun up 76 agents. this process, it only spun up 76 agents. Now, these were unique sub agents. And I Now, these were unique sub agents. And I Now, these were unique sub agents. And I think that what happened here was it think that what happened here was it think that what happened here was it reused a lot of agents. Like agents reused a lot of agents. Like agents reused a lot of agents. Like agents would come, you know, they'd come, would come, you know, they'd come, would come, you know, they'd come, they'd grab a task, they would then do they'd grab a task, they would then do they'd grab a task, they would then do something, and then they'd report back, something, and then they'd report back, something, and then they'd report back, and then they'd sit there and wait. I and then they'd sit there and wait. I and then they'd sit there and wait. I think that's what happened. What I was think that's what happened. What I was think that's what happened. What I was kind of interested in was, you know, as kind of interested in was, you know, as kind of interested in was, you know, as far as how many times it actually far as how many times it actually far as how many times it actually delegated work to sub agents. This was delegated work to sub agents. This was delegated work to sub agents. This was way more in at least 300, I'd say, way more in at least 300, I'd say, way more in at least 300, I'd say, because I did so many testing loops and because I did so many testing loops and because I did so many testing loops and verification loops where I had 50 agents verification loops where I had 50 agents verification loops where I had 50 agents at least going out as a swarm to click at least going out as a swarm to click at least going out as a swarm to click around and try to break the app. So that around and try to break the app. So that around and try to break the app. So that was the sub agents. Let's talk about the was the sub agents. Let's talk about the was the sub agents. Let's talk about the cost. Input tokens was 32 billion 103 cost. Input tokens was 32 billion 103 cost. Input tokens was 32 billion 103 million 178,736 million 178,736 million 178,736 input tokens. output tokens 47 million input tokens. output tokens 47 million input tokens. output tokens 47 million which I actually thought might like I I which I actually thought might like I I which I actually thought might like I I was expecting that to be more but then was expecting that to be more but then was expecting that to be more but then when you look at the actual cost in when you look at the actual cost in when you look at the actual cost in dollars this was a $15,000 project now I dollars this was a $15,000 project now I dollars this was a $15,000 project now I was on my codeex 200 bucks a month plan was on my codeex 200 bucks a month plan was on my codeex 200 bucks a month plan so I didn't pay $14,000 $15,000 thank so I didn't pay $14,000 $15,000 thank so I didn't pay $14,000 $15,000 thank goodness but it's interesting because goodness but it's interesting because goodness but it's interesting because $14,000 is roughly what you get out of $14,000 is roughly what you get out of $14,000 is roughly what you get out of maxing out a $200 per month codeex plan maxing out a $200 per month codeex plan maxing out a $200 per month codeex plan whereas in cloud code if you max out whereas in cloud code if you max out whereas in cloud code if you max out that 200 bucks plan it's about $8,000 in that 200 bucks plan it's about $8,000 in that 200 bucks plan it's about $8,000 in inference So you are getting about inference So you are getting about inference So you are getting about $6,000 more inference out of codeex than $6,000 more inference out of codeex than $6,000 more inference out of codeex than cloud code if you max out the plan. And cloud code if you max out the plan. And cloud code if you max out the plan. And I maxed out this plan for sure when I I maxed out this plan for sure when I I maxed out this plan for sure when I was running this. I even dipped into the was running this. I even dipped into the was running this. I even dipped into the usage credit territory. So probably usage credit territory. So probably usage credit territory. So probably 150 bucks of this total cost was me 150 bucks of this total cost was me 150 bucks of this total cost was me actually paying out of pocket, but the
-
actually paying out of pocket, but the actually paying out of pocket, but the rest was just my 200 bucks a month plan. rest was just my 200 bucks a month plan. rest was just my 200 bucks a month plan. So anyways, hopefully you guys find So anyways, hopefully you guys find So anyways, hopefully you guys find those stats interesting. But like I those stats interesting. But like I those stats interesting. But like I said, this would not be completely free said, this would not be completely free said, this would not be completely free forever if I wanted to truly use this. forever if I wanted to truly use this. forever if I wanted to truly use this. it would be me having to probably shoot it would be me having to probably shoot it would be me having to probably shoot off a few prompts every month. Um, off a few prompts every month. Um, off a few prompts every month. Um, making a few enhancements every month as making a few enhancements every month as making a few enhancements every month as new bugs pop up, but for the most part, new bugs pop up, but for the most part, new bugs pop up, but for the most part, it's probably better than paying a it's probably better than paying a it's probably better than paying a subscription if you're willing to subscription if you're willing to subscription if you're willing to dedicate some headsp space to actually dedicate some headsp space to actually dedicate some headsp space to actually maintaining this thing on the back end. maintaining this thing on the back end. maintaining this thing on the back end. But anyways, if you guys are interested But anyways, if you guys are interested But anyways, if you guys are interested in kind of watching what this full in kind of watching what this full in kind of watching what this full process looks like when it comes to process looks like when it comes to process looks like when it comes to connecting some of the, you know, connecting some of the, you know, connecting some of the, you know, credentials and integrations and things, credentials and integrations and things, credentials and integrations and things, then definitely check out this video then definitely check out this video then definitely check out this video right up here where I basically did like right up here where I basically did like right up here where I basically did like a live build all day where I just built a live build all day where I just built a live build all day where I just built a different SAS product. So, check it a different SAS product. So, check it a different SAS product. So, check it out right here. I'll see you guys over out right here. I'll see you guys over out right here. I'll see you guys over there.
