Sending every task to your most powerful AI model is a habit worth breaking. I start with the job, then pick the model that fits it. For a couple of jobs, I'd use no model at all.

Here are my picks right now:

1. Fast decisions: TypeSafe Jev
Labels inbound support tickets as billing, bug, cancellation or human, with one label each and no drafted reply.

2. Routine writing: GPT-6 Luna
Writes the routine reply from the full thread plus our approved policy, and a human reads it before it goes out.

3. Judgment calls: GPT-6 Sol
Weighs the mixed signals in a sponsor inquiry and explains its call, and anything it's unsure about goes to a person.

4. Complex code: Claude Opus 5.5 or GPT-6 Astra
For complex Remotion work and multistep changes, I'd happily pick either one because I rate them equally.

5. Grey-hat tactics: orcarouter/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored
For topics where Opus and GPT-5 refuse and give you a moral lecture (it's a community variant, not an official Qwen release).

6. Rules and sign-offs: no model
Permissions, pricing and dedup live in exact code, and anything consequential waits for a human to sign off.

Number 6 is the one I'd keep no matter how good the models get. If something touches a customer's money or access, I want code I can read and a person who said yes.

The other five will probably look different in six months. When they change, I'll update the list.

Your next customer might never open your dashboard.

They'll give the job to their AI agent and judge your product by whether it gets done. That's already how I work with Stripe, Notion, n8n and many more.

That changes what keeps a customer around. If their agent can't get the job done in your product, or does something they never approved, a polished UI won't make up for it.

Example:
Imagine a customer asking their agent to find overdue invoices and draft follow-ups for approval. Where would it get stuck? And what would have to change before they'd trust it?

I sketched that out in the example below.
The first hurdle shows up early.
The most consequential one comes later.

Your SaaS stack usually gets bloated one reasonable decision at a time.

Support gets messy, so you add another helpdesk seat. Reporting gets annoying, so you add another dashboard. Research takes time, so you add another tool. Ops gets scattered, so you add another automation app.

None of these decisions look stupid on their own.

But after a while, the business has 40 tabs, 12 pricing pages, and data spread across too many places.

AI changes the calculation a bit.

You can keep the core stack small:

Database.
Payments.
Support inbox.
Publishing system.
Analytics.

Then let agents do the work around it:

→ read tickets
→ check metrics
→ pull context
→ draft replies
→ find patterns
→ prepare the first version

The founder still approves, rejects, changes direction, and makes the final call.

But you don't need to buy another SaaS product every time a workflow gets annoying.

AI agents are long crossing into work I used to hire people for.

Not strategy, taste, or big decisions - but the boring SaaS workflows that repeat every week: support, churn, monitoring, content, research, feedback, bugs, and docs.

Making YouTube videos fully agentic is such a sick experience now.

DaVinci Resolve and Fusion handle the edit. Remotion and Blender handle motion and 3D. GPT Image 2.5 handles visual generation. Then agents coordinate research, scripts, thumbnails, and publishing around it.

Man, you can make some cool videos with this setup.

I still come up with the ideas and record the footage. But I can now produce the kind of videos that would have needed an entire production team a few years ago.

My full YouTube production stack is below 👇

Most SaaS advice assumes growth means hiring more humans.

AI makes that advice look old.

A lot of the classic founder advice came from a world where every bottleneck eventually turned into another person, another manager, another meeting, or another tool.

That is changing fast.

Here are 8 SaaS beliefs AI is killing 👇

Every time I recommend self-hosted tools, people ask where they should rent the hardware.

For learning, testing, or running small, lightweight services - I recommend a small VPS.

The annoying part is that the price changes a lot by region. Storage, IPv4, bandwidth, taxes, and annual commitments can make the headline number pretty useless.

I went through the current starter plans and picked nine options with at least 2GB RAM, storage, and public IPv4.

Europe:
• Netcup - €5.72/month + setup
• OVHcloud - $5.35/month
• Hetzner - €11.99/month

US:
• RamNode - $5/month
• AtlanticNet - $8/month
• DigitalOcean - $12/month

Asia:
• BinaryLane Singapore - A$9.80/720 hours
• Vultr Tokyo - $10/month
• Linode Mumbai - $12/month

Before buying or renting hardware, I'd start here 👇

Subscription creep IS a thing.
You need +7 subscriptions just to get STARTED with your new business.

Ridiculous.
And frankly... unnecessary.

There are so many great, alternative options to traditional software subscriptions.

- Free and Open-Source
- Self-hostable
- One-time licenses

Here are 8 tools you can get right now 👇
Zero subscriptions, zero ongoing costs.

My boring self-hosted tech stack.
(93% cheaper than the cloud)

🔴 Platform
Hetzner
Kubernetes
Docker

🔵 Application
Next.js
Node.js

🟣 Security
WireGuard
Better Auth

🟢 Data
Postgres
pgvector
Redis
MinIO

🟠 Observability
Grafana

People acting like you need +10 managed platforms to run a SaaS company.

You really don't.

The software is free and open source, and this stack runs a 7-figure SaaS business perfectly well.

I never managed to find a good editor.
It's one of the few roles I always struggled hiring for, so I ended up editing every single video myself - for years.

Today, AI agents finally got good enough. They help with the research, scripting, editing, thumbnails, and publishing.

It's still my ideas. And I still record the video. But everything around it is handled by a mix of agents, software, and a few approval points before anything goes out.

This is how my agentic YouTube team makes a video 👇
