No. The prompts work in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or a comparable assistant.

The kit now includes DeepSeek V4/BYOK checks, reasoning-content parser notes, Copilot Preview Bill and Actions Minutes checks, agentic coding budget circuit breakers, GPT-5.5 auto-routing checks, Gemini free-tier planning, multi-model routing worksheets, and token optimization prompts, all framed as educational planning aids with verify-in-account guardrails.

The kit is delivered as a ZIP with PDF and markdown versions of the prompts.

Who this is for

Solo developers, indie founders, and small technical teams who just saw Copilot AI Credits confusion, private-repo Actions-minute exposure, model-routing cost opacity, free-tier changes, prepaid credit expiry risk, or overlapping AI subscription spend and want a reversible audit before changing tools.

May 10 signal addendum

The current edition adds modules for Copilot June 1 AI Credits, GPT-5.5 auto-routing visibility, Gemini paid-only/free-tier planning, multi-model routing, token optimization, refund/support drafts, and BYOK/local-first worksheets. Each module uses estimate-and-verify language rather than guaranteed savings claims.

Free sample prompt #1

AI Subscription Audit

Use this before checkout. The paid kit includes the full prompt system, operating worksheet, and complete simulated outputs for every prompt.

You are my AI cost triage assistant. Help me audit my current AI subscriptions without assuming that every tool should be cancelled.

Start by asking me up to 7 short follow-up questions conversationally. If I do not know an answer, let me give an estimate. Ask for: the tools I pay for, monthly or annual price, how often I use each one, the core job each tool performs, overlap with other tools, upcoming renewal or deadline dates, and any workflow I cannot afford to break.

Then produce:
1. A table with columns: Tool, Estimated monthly cost, Main job, Usage level, Overlap risk, Breakage risk if cancelled, Decision, Why.
2. A "keep for now" list with the minimum evidence I should collect this week.
3. A "pause/cancel candidate" list with one safe test before cancelling.
4. A 7-day audit plan that takes less than 30 minutes per day.

Rules:
- Do not promise savings.
- Do not give tax, accounting, legal, or security advice.
- If the data is incomplete, label assumptions clearly.
- Favor reversible tests before irreversible cancellation.

Example output

Simulated example, not a testimonial.

Decision: keep production API for now, monitor Copilot before May 20, pause-test the overlapping long-form assistant for one week, and add a 7-day evidence log before any irreversible cancellation.

Good fit if…

You pay for multiple AI tools, worry about June billing changes, need a DeepSeek/BYOK test, or want budget circuit breakers before turning on coding-agent automation.
