@geilt ran consoles back-to-back overnight, hitting 5000+ steps per thread with sub-second responses and no weekly limit visible. Gemini CLI is being deprecated into Antigravity CLI, the 1M context stays clean, and a 1.5B-token session pencils at ~$112-$195 vs $800+ on Sonnet — quality held up despite Reddit complaints about Flash hallucinating.
Builders are running Hermes with Codex or GPT-5 as the brain for entire businesses — Shopify builds, ad management, lead gen, influencer outreach — citing persistent memory, scheduled jobs, and persona sub-agent routing as the edge over vanilla CC/Codex. Anthropic OAuth is still blocked but a June update may re-enable Claude at API token rates, removing the Pro/Max subsidy advantage.
@jasonakatiff led a breakdown of working stacks: SmartLead/Instantly for sending, premiuminboxes.com and inboxkit for inboxes, Apollo + Apify for scraping FB/Google ads landers, and Claude/GPT for line-by-line enrichment plus n8n routing replies through Haiku for classification and Sonnet for drafting with Telegram approval. Consensus: 4-5 lines, no calendar links, manually propose two business-day slots.
@BowTiedRabbit flagged Codex now ships with WisprFlow-style dictation baked in — system-wide hotkey works across any app. @LionOnX shared an AppSumo WisprFlow alternative (Amical). Separately, Matt Pocock's .claude directory skills repo dropped as the recommended starting point for frontend design work, where Claude still beats every Codex skill tested.
@mb29266 detailed launching ~50 ads to a control advertorial, letting Claude identify sale-generators EOD, then duplicating winners across listicles, PDPs, and quizzes — iterating $1k/day spenders into video. Group concluded Gundry-style DR supplement brands are nearly un-exitable (Amazon-blocked, retail-blocked, overpriced). @victorbrsss shared a 'circa 2010 amateur smartphone photo' prompt template — harsh flash, grain, slight blur — to dodge the AI look in ad creatives.
Key Takeaways
- Antigravity CLI on Gemini 3.5 Flash High delivers sub-second responses and ~$112-$195 for 1.5B-token sessions vs $800+ on Sonnet — Gemini CLI is being absorbed into it
- Hermes + Codex/GPT-5 is replacing manual CC workflows for full-business orchestration; Anthropic OAuth remains the missing piece but may return in June
- Cold email ROI cited at 1000x+ with AI enrichment, 10-step SmartLead sequences, n8n Haiku/Sonnet reply routing — never send calendar links, manually propose two business-day slots
- Codex Desktop now has system-wide voice dictation built in, killing the need for separate WisprFlow subscriptions; Matt Pocock's .claude skills repo is the new frontend design baseline
- Force 'circa 2010 amateur smartphone photo' aesthetics (harsh flash, grain, slight blur) in image prompts to make AI-generated ad creatives look authentically un-AI
