Show HN: Aireceipts, itemized cost receipts for AI coding agents

from the show-hn dept.

Hi HN. I built this at work for fun because I could not answer a basic question: what did that last agent session actually cost me?It does three things:1. A statusline under the agent's input box while it works: which model is billing you, cost so far, dollars per hour, and how much of your rate-limit window is gone. Waste like a stuck Bash retry loop gets flagged on the line as it happens. 2....

Re:Multi-model code review and plan review for Claude Code on Thursday March 05, 2026 @06:38PM (#47268775)
Multiple AI models independently review code or plan implementations, then converge on consensus through structured synthesis and approval rounds. Configurable — works with as few as Claude + 1 external model.

@chaseadam17 -

This is where I learned about Watsi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlT3UhC7NwQ

I attended it in person. Very inspiring!

Re:Thank HN: You helped save 33,241 lives on Tuesday February 17, 2026 @07:30PM (#47055464)
I have been a Universal Fund member since 2014.

Watsi has this Impact page where you can see every person you've helped — their photo, their story, the country. I visit it more often than I'd like to admit.

I have been building a startup since the last couple of years and as we all know it is relentless. There are weeks where nothing seems to work, where you question every decision. In those moments, pulling up that page and seeing real people whose lives changed because of a few dollars a month — it resets something. It reminds me why building things that matter is worth the grind.

Thank you to everyone at Watsi for creating something that gives back to donors just as much as it gives to patients.

Re:Ask HN: How did you rebuild yourself after having hit rock bottom? on Saturday March 04, 2023 @02:40PM (#35023798)
I'm so sorry to hear about the difficult time you're going through, but please know that you're not alone. Many people have experienced the same sense of emptiness, doubt, and uncertainty that you're feeling right now. It's understandable that you're struggling given the breakup, the stress of your PhD, and your challenging family background.

It's important to give yourself time to process your emotions and work through your struggles, but please don't lose hope. You're taking positive steps by seeking therapy and trying to make sense of your experiences. Remember that progress isn't always linear, and it's okay to take things one day at a time.

Lastly, please don't forget to be kind to yourself. You're doing the best you can in a challenging situation, and that's something to be proud of. Remember that setbacks and struggles are a natural part of life, and they can often lead to growth and resilience in the long run. Keep your chin up, stay optimistic, and know that things will get better. One way to cultivate a more positive outlook is to keep a gratitude journal. Each day, write down a few things you're grateful for. This can help shift your focus from what's going wrong to what's going right, and it can help you cultivate a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the good things in your life.

Ask HN: What are the top ways you have saved money on your startup costs?

Whether it's negotiating better deals with suppliers, finding free or low-cost marketing channels, or cutting expenses in other...

A bit of tangent, but it reminds me of a funny story:

I discovered one day that I am getting recommended "Long distance truck driver" jobs through email and some of the re-targeted ads. First, I ignored them, but in a week or two, it became apparent that it was not just a coincidence. After some research, I realized that I had listed "Device Driver" programming as a skill on my LinkedIn and personal website. I suspect it must have been crawled, and the word "Driver" was matched to send me those recommendations.
