So I have used claude code for an year and recently started using deepseek v4 pro using deepseek official api with claude code terminal app and have been quite impressed with the performance.

However I have noticed deepseek leaves a lot of gaps and misses in implementation when used in a large repo.

Reading through the review of opencode I tool subscription of open code go plan to use models like Minimax m3 and mimo 2.5 pro for code reviews.

I have used deepseek v4 pro using Go plan and i have noticed it burns through a lot more tokens when I used deepseek v4 pro (thinking effort max) than official api.

I want to know how are you guys optimising the token usage on go plan?

So for the context -

When I use official api I burn through $3 max per day but today on the go plan i burned my whole $12 in just 2 hours.

Not sure what would be the reason of such token burn. Need suggestions how can I check if caching or working and diagnose the issue.

I am senior engineer with 8+ years in tech and consulting.

I have built Opsler - an all in one field service management software for US trades.

​

\​

​

The app is live and is complete and marketing ready. Has real wedges compared to its competitors and offers more features that are actually needed in the trades businesses (researched reviews of competitors for a few weeks before taking on this challenge)

​

\​

​

My biggest challenge is that i am not good at marketing, I tried a few channels but it didn't work for me

​

​

\*\*What I am looking for -\*\*

​

I am looking for a US based GTM cofounder (since the target is US based trades businesses) to take on the marketing and building relationships for Opsler.

​

\​

​

\*\*Here is what I am offering -\*\*

​

Equity - 50/50 split (standard 4-year vest).

​

Capital Protection - Your GTM spend is a non-recourse loan, repaid from 50% of top-line revenue until you're whole.

​

Profits- 50/50 split after the loan is cleared.

​

\​

​

If you know how to sell to US contractors and want to jump into a finished product, we can discuss.

The Product:

I am a senior engineer with 8+ years of tech and consulting experience. For the last year, I’ve been building Opsler — an all-in-one Field Service Management (FSM) platform targeting US-based trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical).

Live site - https://opsler.com

The platform is finished, bug-tested, and live. It features:

· An offline-first mobile web app (tradespeople live in dead zones).

· Good/Better/Best estimates for instant upsells.

· Multi location inventory tracking with audit logs

· A disruptive 0% payment processing model (no hidden fees).

· A completely sealed activation funnel with gamified progress bars, dynamic presets, and in-app video tutorials that onboard users in under 5 minutes. No Zoom hand-holding required.

Why I Need You:

I am based in India, and my strength is engineering, not marketing.

Opsler is built for US home service businesses, and tradesmen buy based on trust, culture, and relationships. Selling to a local contractor in Texas from India via cold email is an uphill battle. I don't have a US contractor network, and I can't walk the trade show floors. I need a partner to bridge that gap.

Who I Am Looking For:

I am looking for a US-based Co-Founder and Head of Growth to be the public face of the brand and drive our go-to-market strategy. (I will handle the CEO/technical duties and keep the engine running behind the scenes).

· The Network: You have B2B sales experience with existing contacts in contractor groups, home service agencies, or trade associations.

· The Capital: You can bring an initial budget to fund a physical/organic GTM motion. Think reddit promotions, local direct mail, attending trade meetups, sponsoring association newsletters, or targeted Facebook group outreach.

· Collaboration: I am highly flexible. If you talk to contractors and tell me we need to tweak a flow or add a specific feature to close a deal, I will build it within 48 hours. I am ready to adapt the product based on your ground-level feedback.

The Deal Structure:

· Equity: 50/50 split (standard 4-year vest, 1-year cliff) – forever. No temporary profit splits, no dilution.

· Capital Protection: Your GTM spend is a non-recourse founder loan. It gets repaid to you from 50% of top-line revenue until you are entirely whole. After that, we split all net profits 50/50.

· My Commitment: I cover 100% of infrastructure costs and code maintenance. You own 100% of distribution.

If you understand how US contractors buy and want to partner on a polished, ready-to-scale product, DM me with your background.

I have been using claude Max for a year and recently subscribed to AI pro just out of curiosity.

I used claude sonnet 4.6 and in just 2 prompts, i was left with 0%

​

I want to understand if the ai ultra plan offer 5X - does this mean I get ~10 messages to claude and then counter goes down to 0% for next 5 hours?

Is cold email working as a distribution channel?

How many cold leads do you need to close a deal?

For example - I export 2000 leads from Apollo filtered by strict icp only.

Verify the emails and that removed 800 leads, now I have 1-1.2k valid tight icp cold leads, now I am wondering how many of these leads would become paying users if any.

P.s - I am a newbie to marketing

I spent years engineering complex systems like Salesforce Service Cloud before I realized that most Field Service Management (FSM) tools for small businesses are fundamentally broken.

Most tools are designed as "Digital Calendars"—they help you schedule, but they don't help you protect your margins.

I built Opsler to function as a Financial Control System, specifically for owners who are tired of the "Software Tax" and field-level profit leaks.

The Problem: The "Nice Guy Tech" Leak

After auditing dozens of shops, I found a recurring pattern: Techs "forgetting" to add parts to an invoice or giving "unauthorized discounts" to be liked by the customer.

How Opsler Engineers a Fix:

The Invoice Guardrail (Management Override): Techs can draft invoices, but they are locked until you give a one-tap approval on your phone. You see exactly what was billed before the customer sees the total.

Zero-Fee Payment Engine: Native support for direct QR payments (Venmo/CashApp). We bypass the 3% processor tax so that money stays in your business.

Automated Marketing Minisites: Every truck in your fleet gets a unique QR code. Neighbors scan the truck \rightarrow they book directly into your calendar via an automated landing page.

Seeking 10 "Founding Member" Shops

I’m currently looking for 10 shop owners (HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Cleaning) to battle-test these specific workflows.

I’m a solo developer, so I’m offering a trial (No CC required) and a Lifetime "Founding Member" License in exchange for technical feedback on the mobile UI and inventory audit logs.

If you're tired of paying a monthly "Software Tax" and want to reclaim your margins, drop a comment below or check out the technical roadmap at Opsler.com.
