    If the goal is to write a blog post to advertise the product, I'd ask the LLM to summarize the content a bit, as there's quite a lot of structure for very little content.

    I also have a feeling that the "40k to 250k EUR" to build this is a bit exaggerated. One ChatGPT/Claude subscription and the following can put together the described system, perhaps with fewer bells and whistles:

    - OpenAI Agents API

    - GitHub

    - CI/CD

    - identity system

    - MCP/tools

    - an eval suite

    - a small UI

      Everything nowadays boils down to one claude/codex subscription :D Point taken, though, on the structure.

      for one of our clients the amount of plumbing involved required 2 people working and tinkering for months with max subscriptions. I guess we're in the era of buildout and probably in 2027 the cost of software factories will be down to zero.
