How they did it

Build Sted while running more than 10 Claude and Codex sessions. His words.

1. Build Sted while running more than 10 Claude and Codex sessions. His words.
2. Pay $200 a month for Claude and ChatGPT, and say daily AI spend is still rising.
3. Report MRR even when it is $20. The same figure appears on three posts across two days and in the bio.
4. Inference: at these numbers the tool bill is ten times MRR. He states both sides. He does not state a path to covering the bill.

Steps above are the recorded desk notes for this case.

I am building a small AI product and I will paste this week's MRR, even if it is under $100. Ask how many Claude, Codex, and ChatGPT sessions I ran and what I paid. Return three lines only: MRR, named tool bill, and unnamed extra AI spend if I know it. Do not project next month.
