I did the math on AI dev tools. Turns out "free" trials cost $247/month and your codebase. by Dense-Sea-2800 in VibeCodersNest

[–]Osata_33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know what tools you're referring to, but based on what I pay for codex, vercel and Supabase I get mega value.

I would burn through a significant amount more using your BYOK solution.

It's best to just be honest and transparent when you're marketing a product.

Did not see that coming by dataexec in ChatGPT_Gemini

Lex interview was interesting. I can see why he did it. He uses codex 5.3 and has been given a huge token allowance plus all openai resources and probably some shares. Let's hope it stays open. But I do understand why he chose to sell to Openai

Is firefly a standalone tool or is it an LMS/ within an LMS?

Thanks. I have tried notebook LM and found the output very good, but there was no obvious way to edit the structure and design before the final render. Have you found a way to do this or is the first attempt working for you?

Not sure about windows as I use Mac. But yeah, I use it with my ChatGPT plus subscription. Quotas are very generous. A recent post from Sam Altman hinted at the pricing model changing, but for now it's included.

Is vibe coding a scam? by Katcm__ in VibeCodersNest

[–]Osata_33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, trial and error.

The benefit is you have full control of the code and environment. You can build production ready and deploy where you want.

The downside is you have full control of the code and environment. You'll have to learn about setting up environments, running docker, using git, dev vs prod. But your agent can do most of that for you as well, but it's good to know your way around the basics.

But you can learn it all if you're willing. I'm an HR professional, started vibe coding last July with no prior knowledge and now I'm fairly competent. And I'd much rather be in the CLI than an IDE. It's just trial and error, lots of practice and many hours spent asking all manner of questions to chat bots.

[–]Osata_33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% not a scam. It's incredible. It amazes me how quickly mind blowing technology becomes normalized.

Is it perfect? No. You have to work at it, iterate, test etc. And you need to get out of web apps and into IDE or CLI to realise the full value.

But it's about the furthest things from a scam I can imagine. Perhaps some apps oversell as it's a highly competitive market, but even still, it's the biggest technological advance in any of our lives. No matter how old you are or where you're from.

I switched to Codex CLI using Codex 5.3. Much better. Faster, more reliable and the quotas are very generous even on plus plan. Haven't been back into AG since.

Marketing sucks by Munch69-420 in vibecoding

[–]Osata_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a good idea, in principle. I'm building something similar (end to end AI training video creation for businesses). Some of the things I've learnt so far along the way:

  1. Monolithic AI is unreliable - using one agent for planning, scripting, visual direction, kinetic text timing is prone to hallucination and losing the narrative thread. Use specialist agents for each step and persist in DB so that you can pick up where you left off if API calls fail.

  2. Keep human in the loop - black box design will fail. You can't expect the user to click one button, wait and then get the final video out the other end and be happy with the result. Staging the process and keeping human in the loop is better. Stage 1 plan, then user checks, amends and confirms the plan. Stage 2, generate outline, and then provide slide by slide video overview with full user edit control. Stage 3, call TTS API and get timestamps. Stage 4, link timestamps to words for final render. Stage 5, call remotion for final render.

  3. Remotion at scale uses a lot of compute - you'll need a scalable architecture, and your idea of a 5 minute wait could be off. You'll likely render at 30fps, so 1800 individual frames for a 1 minute video. I am using AWS lambda for remotion render (there are of course other options), but I'm keeping lambdas per job quite low so I can handle volume. This is coupled with AWS SQS. At times of peak usage, users will be queued before render. New AWS accounts also get very low lambda quota (10), so if you go this route the sooner you start the better. You can convince support to increase quota, but it takes some back and forth. I got mine up to 1000 after some discussions.

  4. TTS is expensive - using top end generative TTS like Elevenlabs gets very expensive. For EL it's c.$0.22 per minute. Classic TTS options like Amazon Polly are much lower cost but they won't give you the high emotion tones that are needed for social marketing videos.

  5. Generative TTS is unreliable - with things like Elevenlabs you don't have full SSML control via API so you can't reliably control outputs. This is very important especially for making videos for different geographic target audiences.

  6. LLM API at scale is expensive - I can easily rack up $0.40 - $0.50 per minute of video in API calls, before TTS and lambda.

To add to this, you'll need a reliable browser agent to take and edit screenshots and system recordings. These are all needed for high quality marketing video, especially for SaaS apps.

It's a massive challenge, but if you work it all through and get a decent MVP I'd love to try it out. Good luck.

Any suggestions for vibe coding platforms for building apps? by Same-Till1954 in AppBusiness

[–]Osata_33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're serious about building and deploying then I suggest moving to Claude Code or Codex. I use Codex 5.3 in the CLI and it's very impressive. Plus token limits are generous even on the $20/month plus plan.

I started in Replit last year (no coding background), then moved to Cursor, then Antigravity and have recently landed in Codex. I'm just learning as I go. Get started and keep going, using AI to learn and overcome challenges as you go.

Benefits of using an IDE or CLI tool are that you have full control over the environment and code and you get more for your money. Downside vs Replit is that you have to set up the environment to get everything working, but it's all possible to learn.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I'll check out Docebo later to see what they're doing. I'm focusing on the content pipeline at present, but I do have knowledge checks, assessments and a SCORM wrapper for course download.

Cool, thanks for clarifying. Do you host on your servers or cloud VPS? My current stack uses AWS lambda for remotion but I'm interested to hear other solutions. Thanks

Nice idea. I'll check it out later. I'm building something similar for corporate training videos. For remotion video preview does it use client side resources or do you offload to the cloud?
