This + making sure common requests are saved as reusable skills and scripts would probably save a large part of my token usage

As prices increase we will see more of these tools to optimise and make the best use of token budget

I got great results by (1) using pi coding agent - i often see a 20x fdifference with code cli whoch is more token hungry (2) using an advisor strategy. See https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-us... I use GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark for all tasks and it will ask help to GPT-5.5 when the task is complex enough (3) using rtk

openclaw fills the gap left by Siri and was built with tight integration with Apple ecosystem.

this how i understand the hype for something like openclaw vs the capabilities provided by zapier or n8n for years now.

i would say a majority of users are tech and non tech roles, who (1) have an iPhone with all their contacts and data on iCloud (2) have a macbook at work and use macOS daily (3) use ChatGPT or Claude daily and trust it with their personal data (4) aren't familiar with Linux or a VPS and don't trust themselves with setting it up through the terminal (5) feel more at ease with a "a second macOS that i can debug visually on my monitor at home" rather than a remote linux VPS

you could still rent a mac mini but cloud providers will ask you $119 a month for a Mac mini M4 with 16GB of RAM. $599 is unbelievably cheap for a second computer with which you can do anything you can do on your usual Macbook

I am surprised to see very few setups leveraging LSP support. (Language Server Protocol) It has been added to Claude Code last month. Most setups rely on naive grep.
