FAQ
Who is this for?
People who run or are building an AI agent and want a lower bill, but are not cost or ML specialists. Every term is explained in plain English, and each chapter ends with an exercise and a short "Try this now" task you can apply to your own agent.
What exactly do I get?
A 29-page PDF (glossary, 9 chapters, final checklist) and a spreadsheet cost model that works in Excel, LibreOffice and Google Sheets. You download both right after payment.
How much does it cost?
$29 plus applicable tax. Tax depends on where you are and is calculated at checkout, before you pay.
Do I need to be a developer?
No coding is required to follow the method or use the spreadsheet. A few chapters show short code patterns (for example step and cost limits) that you or your developer can copy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. If the playbook is not useful to you, email [email protected] within 14 days of purchase and we will refund you.
Was AI used to write it?
Yes. The playbook was created with the help of AI tools, then checked by a human. Every price comes from official provider pricing pages (checked 30 Oct 2026) and the sources are listed in the PDF.
Will prices in the playbook go out of date?
Model prices change often. The method stays the same, the spreadsheet lets you update prices yourself, and you get free updates for 12 months.
Can I read some of it first?
Yes. The free sample PDF contains the glossary, the full Chapter 1 and an overview of the remaining chapters.
How do I pay?
