250 a month. Now twenty.
A rebuilt site live on her own domain by the end of the night, a signing bill cut from 250 dollars a month to twenty plus twenty cents a signature, and a booking page that cost nothing.
What came out of it. She arrived with a tool she had built on her own in the month between sessions, a reconciliation check that turned three hours of comparing a spreadsheet against Xero into twenty minutes. Four hours later she had a rebuilt website live on a domain bought during the session, a signing service found by asking the agent to argue against the one she was about to pay 250 dollars a month for, a booking page made out of her own calendar, and the beginnings of a tool that works out which client she is actually working on. The one that did not land was the time tracking, which he marked to come back to rather than dress up.

The hero of this one
Adrienn Volcz
Accountant and registered Tax Agent
She came on to work on Xero and document filing. A month later, she was back with a reconciliation tool she had built herself.
Worth stealing
Ask it whether the tool you already picked is the right tool
"Review this scope and validate if this is the right tool for the project. Is there any cheaper solution for my scale?" The first answer any search gives you is the well advertised one. Five alternatives later the signing bill went from 250 dollars a month to twenty plus twenty cents a signature.
Tell it you are the only developer it has
"I am never going to touch the code, you are always going to touch the code. Is it easy to extend, and is it cheap at my scale?" A recommendation written for a team with engineers is a different recommendation, and it will give you that one unless you say otherwise.
Send a second agent to review the first one's month
Ask it to read the whole execution log, every problem hit and every request made, then start a separate agent to review the work and say whether it is on the right track. The agent that wrote the code is the worst reviewer of it.
The subscription layer is optional now
Every service is advertising itself as AI ready, which means your agent reaches for their paid API rather than writing the thing. The same function written against a host you already pay nothing for costs quota instead of a monthly bill. There are trades, and the point is that it is now a choice.
The booking page is already in your calendar
Google Calendar makes one for free, it reads your existing bookings, and it took about a minute. It is the thing the paid booking services are selling.
Five agents at once burn the quota five times as fast
She hit her limit mid session with five terminals open and upgraded for a month. Worth knowing before you open the fifth tab, and worth switching back afterwards.

Show notes
Her second session, four weeks after the first. She turned up having built something on her own: a check that takes the bank transactions out of Xero and the spreadsheet a client still emails every quarter, and reports what is missing from one or doubled in the other. It found payments that had never reached Xero at all, paid on a personal card or in cash. Three hours of her time became twenty minutes.
The rest of the night was five more wishes running in parallel, one terminal each. The one worth watching is the second: she was a click away from paying 250 dollars a month for an e-signing API, and instead asked her agent to argue against the tool she had already chosen. What came back was a comparison of five, and the one she went with costs twenty dollars a month and twenty cents a signature. She had already worked out that signing documents by hand costs her eighty three hours a year.
The website went live before the end, with the certificate issuing while the two of them were still talking about something else. The time tracking did not land. He wrote it down as a fail to come back to rather than call it finished.
