I have two questions I’ve been sitting with and I want to hear from people who’ve figured this out. Question 1: Claude Code vs Claude API cost If I build an app in Claude Code, complete with a frontend and a real workflow, and I want other people to use that product (not Claude Code itself), how do I handle the cost side? The goal is to let users interact with the product without me eating API costs on every request. Is there a clean way to do this while still leveraging a Claude subscription, or is the API bill just unavoidable once you’re serving users? Question 2: Automating Claude Code I come from n8n. I know how to chain workflows, handle webhooks, trigger automations. But Claude Code with ICM is a different kind of powerful, especially for handling larger data volumes, which is one of n8n’s real limitations. What I want to understand is: how do people actually automate Claude Code? Not just run it manually, but set it up so it’s doing work on a schedule or in response to triggers, the same way you’d build a workflow in n8n. If you’ve done either of these, drop it in the comments. I’d rather learn from someone who’s already made the mistake.

Hey guys, quick question. How many of you use separate AI platforms when you are doing deep thinking and deep research? I came across this bias about a year ago. I was doing some research, did a little double-checking, and realized something. Using the same AI for both thinking and research makes the results biased. I kind of attribute it to a student grading their own test. The same brain that wrote the answer is the one deciding if the answer is right. So now I am curious where everyone here lands on this. Are you splitting it across two tools, or running it all in one? And if you run it all in one, have you ever caught it telling you what you wanted to hear?
