vibe coder in algiers. not a dev.

i test ai models and agents on a $20-30/month budget and post the receipts:

- what a task actually cost
- what broke
- whether it's worth your money

paying for: grok (~$30/mo)
tested: opus 5.5, deepseek, gpt-6 luna/sol, haiku 5.5, kimi k3

i + mcp tools (link in bio).

if you want ai takes from someone paying out of pocket, stick around.

Herald is on Android 🎉

Run one command on your computer, scan the code, and your Hermes Agent bots are in your pocket.

🔔 Approve risky steps right from the notification
🔗 Share links from Chrome straight to a bot
👥 Group chats where bots take turns

It talks directly to the uter, over Wi-Fi or Tailscale. Also in there: live tool calls, HTML previews, new bots from your phone, any model, kanban and schedules.

Not an official Hermes app, just something I built 🙂

Herald is NOT the official Hermes app. It’s something I started building because I wanted Hermes on my phone and couldn’t wait.

Hermes Bots aka Herald is finally going to Apple for review🚀

Apologies for the delay

I could have shipped it earlier, but I wanted Herald to be something I'd actually be proud to charge for

I received 200+ feedback from people testing Herald. I went through them, kept hing, and I've finally implemented everything from that list

And if you get it and something still isn't good enough?

Tell me. I'll fix it and keep shipping

I also asked testers a question:

"Would you pay for Herald, and if so, how much?"

Around 140 said yes, with answers ranging from $9.99 to $24.99

So I've made my decision:

Herald will be $12.99. One time

No monthly subscription.

Why not open source this one?

Most of what I build is open but Herald is different: shipping and supporting a native app across 6 platforms is a full-time job, and charging once is how I keep doing it properly instead of letting it rot

The things I open source stay open. This one pays for the time.

For that, you get Herald across:

- iPhone & iPhone Duo
- iPad
- Apple Watch
- CarPlay
- Android
- Android Auto

I know $12.99 won't be for everyone, and that's completely fine. I'd rather charge a fair one-time price and keep making Herald better for the people who find value in it.

P.S. I'm still looking for iOS testers

I just shipped a Bilibili Scraper on Apify (my own tool). Search videos, pull comments and replies, read trending boards and creator profiles, no login needed. My test search for 原神 returned 88 videos with views, likes and danmaku in about 31 seconds. apify.com/s3nafps/bilibi…

AI models sometimes invent a price or a title when the page does not clearly show it. Webpage to JSON returns typed fields with a source quote for every value, so you can check each one. apify.com/s3nafps/webpag… #AIagents

My honest take on the AI tools I’ve been using:

GPT Plus is easily worth the $20, especially with the resets. OpenCode with DeepSeek V4 Flash has been really good lately, and the 1M context window is a huge plus.

Kimi’s $40 plan isn’t worth it for me. Either they still haven’t figured out the limits, or it’s just way too limited.

Hermes Agent has also been great for automating the repetitive stuff.
