I hit an issue last night with the voice usage of eleven labs. 40k credits used in a week! I find another solution because credit usage at that rate would require costly upgrades to maintain. If anyone else has thoughts or solutions please share. Remember my vision for your V1 model is to keep it clean and bootstrapped.

Phase 1 — Slack (2–3 hours) - You create the GrowthCode OS Slack workspace + install Make.com app: ~20 min your time - I wire Jarvis morning briefing → #jarvis: ~45 min - I wire Marketing Agent → #marketing on each run: ~30 min - I set up #commands so you can trigger agents from Slack: ~45 min Phase 2 — Gmail Read + Draft Reply (2–3 hours) - Make.com already has your Google connection, so no new auth needed - Gmail watcher scenario: ~1 hour - Claude reads + drafts reply logic: ~45 min - Slack alert to #jarvis with summary: ~30 min Phase 3 — Jarvis Brain / Memory (2–3 hours) - Make.com Data Store design + setup: ~45 min - Update Voice Trigger to write session context to memory: ~45 min - Update jarvis-gc.netlify.app system prompt to pull live context: ~1 hour Total active build time: 6–9 hours In calendar terms — if we start now and work straight through, it's a solid full day. More realistically 2 days with testing, your approval checkpoints, and any debugging. The critical path item is Slack — you need to create the workspace and connect Make.com before I can build anything else. That's about 20 minutes on your end. Want to knock that out now so I can start Phase 1 while you do it?
