Here is a demo of something I have currently been working on: Using Claude Code with Vercel's agent-browser for some browser automations in Zoho Books.

I have bundled majority of the automation into a client side IIFE. This led to a 18x cost-saving as shown below, though realistically I feel it must be around 10-12x.

A follow up to the demo demonstrates the advantage of being deterministic-first when building agentic systems. Post-demo: Claude code figured out how to batch the automation into a single run.

Following that, I made the batching a part of my own automation.

Token Consumption Report — 126 Imports (claude-sonnet-4-6)

─────── OVERALL ───────

Manual (4 txns) — 321 turns — $12.49

Batch (122 txns) — 441 turns — $20.44

Total (126 txns) — 762 turns — $32.93

─────── BATCH EFFICIENCY (per transaction) ───────

Turns Manual: 80.3 Batch: 3.6 → 22.2× cheaper

Input tokens Manual: 233 Batch: 11 → 22.0× cheaper

Output tokens Manual: 25,231 Batch: 1,093 → 23.1× cheaper

Cache read Manual: 5.05M Batch: 369K → 13.7× cheaper

Cache write Manual: 327K Batch: 10.8K → 30.3× cheaper

Cost per txn Manual: $3.12 Batch: $0.17 → 18.6× cheaper

Hi Ben!

Your post mentions that the opening is for Software Engineer - Integrations.

However, the careers website does not have an opening for the same.

The closest I can see with matching parameters is the opening for Data Engineer and I am wondering if the two are same.

While the post says that the openings are remote, on Ashby all the openings seem to be marked as On-site. It would be great if you could clarify on this.

I would say a large chunk of humanity has thrived just wondering about similar existential questions.

How did we end up understanding as much as we understand until date about the human body(nature and life in general), psychology, philosophy, the universe, celestial bodies and so much more? That list just goes on.

I think questions rooting to curiosity of similar notes & flavours are the cause of all the science, maths, technology and all other such progressively expanding domains.

Facebook pays. And then owns the user.

Even worse is that a lot of decision makers in our country's administration can be misled into accepting the practice as digital status quo, because a large company like facebook says so.

Imagine what number would that $1.2 trillion blow up to, if they have it their way of zero-rated apps and differential rating. The TRAI has been clearly unabashedly lobbying on television media for telcos. Isn't the "Telecom Regulatory Authority of India" supposed to act in the benefits of consumer!?

Do you mean if it were offered on ALL platforms, it wouldn't be a violation?
