It’s so far um it’s it’s a bit finicky and I’m trying to I’m it’s a bit finicky and I’m trying to I’m it’s a bit finicky and I’m trying to I’m trying to go with a cheaper model trying to go with a cheaper model trying to go with a cheaper model because I obviously this is going to be because I obviously this is going to be because I obviously this is going to be a free demo tool slashtool that people a free demo tool slashtool that people a free demo tool slashtool that people can come to the site and use and you can come to the site and use and you can come to the site and use and you don’t want like a million people coming don’t want like a million people coming don’t want like a million people coming and you know giving me I don’t want a and you know giving me I don’t want a and you know giving me I don’t want a huge surprise bill where it’s like oh huge surprise bill where it’s like oh huge surprise bill where it’s like oh you just spent $1,000 for a million you just spent $1,000 for a million you just spent $1,000 for a million people to come use this tool. I people to come use this tool. I people to come use this tool. I mean, it’s the cheaper you can make it, mean, it’s the cheaper you can make it, mean, it’s the cheaper you can make it, the better. So, I’m experimenting trying the better. So, I’m experimenting trying the better. So, I’m experimenting trying to figure out the right model. Um, and to figure out the right model. Um, and to figure out the right model. Um, and but so far, I’m having some difficulties but so far, I’m having some difficulties but so far, I’m having some difficulties with the prompt and and getting the with the prompt and and getting the with the prompt and and getting the response I want. So, that’s what I’m response I want. So, that’s what I’m response I want. So, that’s what I’m working through today. working through today. working through today.
