🤖 Let’s Talk AI Automation Challenges (And Costs)

What’s been the hardest part of using AI tools in your automation workflows?

Hey Zero2Launch fam 👋

Whether you’re automating support, generating content, or building agents —

One thing keeps coming up again and again: cost and complexity.

So let’s open the floor 👇

🧠 What’s your biggest struggle right now?

Are LLM tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Mistral getting too expensive for daily use?
Are you spending $$ on voice generation tools like ElevenLabs, PlayHT, or King AI?
Or using image generation tools like Midjourney or DALL·E that eat up credits quickly?

💸 Let’s make it real:

👉 Drop a comment with:

What tools you’re currently paying for
How you’re using them (e.g. AI replies, voiceovers, image gen…)
How much it’s costing you per month
And what kind of solution would make it simpler or cheaper

Let’s turn this thread into a community brain trust 💡

We all come from different angles — maybe someone here has already figured out a cheaper, faster, or smarter way to solve what you’re working on.

I’m personally thinking about setting up a dedicated GPU server — to run LLMs, voice generation, and image tools — and open it up to this community for testing or shared use.

Just imagine: one setup that lets us all build, test, and scale automations without the constant cost pressure.

But I want to hear from you first:

What AI tools are draining your budget?

And what would truly unlock your builds if the cost wasn’t a blocker?

Let’s build smarter, together 👇
