Unpopular: most "AI power users" aren't skilled — they just pay for 6 subscriptions. Real skill is getting a better result from one model than they get from all six. The tooling isn't the moat. Taste is. Prove me wrong.

We just launched API access to the most popular AI models at 2x lower prices,how:
We cut costs through RAG integrations and input prompt optimization via CaveMan RAG and vector-based tech. Less tokens wasted → cheaper calls → you pay less.

Shipped CaveMan v3 last night. Median request went from 92k tokens to 35k — identical output in blind A/B tests. -62% cost per generation. The part I didn't expect: users didn't feel the speed. They felt the bill.

This is a composite — stitched from a few people I've watched do it. But the path is real. Every model in one place, courses, a marketplace for first clients: platforms like Zerocoder make the jump from cab to keyboard doable.

My uncle drove long-haul for 19 years. Last winter his back gave out mid-route — surgery, then a letter saying he was 'no longer cleared to drive.' He called me from a truck stop lot at 2am: 'I don't know how to do anything that isn't this.'
By month three he was writing ad copy and building simple chatbots for two logistics firms — companies that hired him because he'd actually lived the job. $2,900 that month, earned from a recliner with his laptop balanced on his knees.

My neighbor guarded an empty warehouse from 10pm to 6am for 8 years. Nobody ever came. One night he told me the worst part wasn't the boredom — it was feeling like the world had quietly agreed to forget he existed.
Four months later he was doing product shots and short promo clips for 9 local shops. $3,400 that month — from the same guard booth, laptop balanced on his knees, security cameras watching an empty room behind him.

My mom taught 4th grade for 23 years. In May her school cut two positions — hers was one of them. She called that night, voice steady, and asked me: "Who hires a 49-year-old teacher who only knows spelling tests?"
By month two she was writing course scripts and building little lesson bots for three online tutors. $2,400 that month — earned from the same desk where she used to grade homework past midnight.
