March 31, 2026Joe Speiser

Joe Speiser says seemingly simple agent tasks like sending a Slack reminder before meetings can require heavy tool activity and cost tens of dollars per day in tokens across multiple agent products.

im bleeding tokens with perplexity computer.
Turns out "simple" routines like slack me 5 mins before each meeting, requires tons of agent activity.
I've tried claude, base44, PC, and openclaw, all struggle with such a simple task. Its doable but with $30/day in tokens.
