I cancelled my software subscriptions and built my own versions with AI

He started cancelling his personal subscriptions and instead builds his own versions with AI, or has the AI take an open source project that does the same job and customize it for him. What he still pays for is the AI, YouTube, Spotify and Starlink.

How it works

  1. Cancels personal software subscriptions
  2. Builds his own versions with AI or has the AI customize an open source project that does the same job
  3. Keeps only the AI, YouTube, Spotify and Starlink

Why it’s worth knowing

He did not just build one app. He dropped his paid software and kept only content and internet subscriptions.
