Claude Code

$20,000 project, built in a month

An agency owner who runs SEO and dev and design shops describes building a client's taxi-kiosk app (ads, driver tipping, admin and backend) entirely with AI, writing no code himself, over about a month of constant work. The client paid $20,000; his tool cost was $200 for Claude Code.

How it wentDelivered in about 1 month for $200 in tool cost on a $20,000 fee. Without AI he says it would have taken at least 3 months and cost 2 to 3 times more (author's figures).

Build this client project with me: [project description and client requirements]. Break it into milestones, build the smallest working version of each one, and show me the result before moving on. Keep a list of every decision and open question for the client. Do not contact the client or deploy anything live until I approve each milestone.
A starting template based on the workflow the source describes. Review it before you use it; you are responsible for what it does.
