Building with AI costing an arm & leg? This is how I use Travis's pre-sell methods to save time, energy, and money when building A.I. tools that work. What's up peeps! I was having a chat with someone this morning who's been running into coding costs with Claude Code. Them tokens go REAL quick if you're not careful. And the money it costs is REAL. Now, I can barely spell coding. But I've built enough tools at this point... ...that I've "scrabbled" smart ways of saving time & money. I shared with him how I start with Claude CoWork first and THEN build out using Claude Code. But the truth is I start even BEFORE that with Claude Chat. If you're building something in here with A.I. like I know @Jason Eckerman's been promoting. This might save you a ton of time, energy, and tokens... AKA: cash, moola, or dineros. Plus you'll be able to help people easier. Let's dig in. ✅ #1: I start with Claude Chat Just like in Make 'Em Beg To Buy... Before diving into making an offer... You wanna UNDERSTAND... @Travis Sago Shared with me early on, "If you wanna double your income double your understanding of your prospective buyers experience..." Brainstorm the idea. Tell Claude what OUTCOME you want. Don't tell it what to "DO". When you tell it what outcome you want... Ask it what the best approach would be. After it gives you it's answer? Ask it for feedback. ~ What are the pros and cons of this approach? ~ What questions am I not asking that I should be asking? ~ What challenges are going to come up that I'm not anticipating? ~ How would you best solve these in the brainstorming phase? ~ Acting as a world class [insert expertise] what's the smartest way to approach building this in phases? You'd be surprised, when you lead with the OUTCOME you want first and let Claude brainstorm approaches, just how efficient it can be. ✅ #2: Using Claude CoWork: CoWork is where I start proofing each piece of my new solution.
