Make AI attack its own draft 5×: the self-critique loop's blind spot

Indie AI Lab
Experiments in building businesses with AI.
Concrete code, honest costs, real failures. We try things out for ourselves, then publish what we learned — prompts, scripts, and receipts included.
What you'll find here
AI in real workflows
How Claude, Gemini, GPT and friends behave when we actually wire them into something — not just on a benchmark.
The receipts
What a thing actually costs to run. Tokens, hosting, API minutes — broken out so you can decide for yourself.

When a bet doesn't work, we say so and show the math. The corrections matter more than the wins.
