One of the main reasons for me for sticking with Claude Code (also for non-coding tasks, I think the name is a misnomer) is the fixed price plan. Pretty much any other open-source alternative requires API key, which means that as soon as I start using it _for real_, I'll start overpaying and/or hitting limits too fast. At least that was my initial experience with API from OpenAI/Claude/Gemini.
Am I biased/wrong here?

I'm increasingly seeing code-adjacent people who are using coding agents for non-coding things because the tooling support it better, and the agents work really well.
It's an interesting area, and glad to see someone working on this.
The other program in the space that I'm aware of is Block's Goose.

> E.g. "Generate a NotebookLM-style podcast from my saved articles every morning"
How does it do that? Does it require a tool for that? Or a special model?

Pretty cool! A bit of an upgrade of just letting claude write pocketflow agents for stuff. That's what I'm doing now.
