My Manifesto Against AI "Ping-Pong" & Token Waste (and the Project Intelligence Platform I'm Building in Public to Fix It)

I'm tired of burning $100/mo on wasted AI tokens just to build a single feature. So I'm building the solution. This is Day 1.

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I use AI tools like the Claude Code CLI and Gemini CLI daily. They're incredibly powerful, but let's be honest: they're also a massive drain on time and money.

I found myself trapped in a constant "ping-pong" match. 20+ prompts just to get one simple feature halfway done. Explaining the context over, and over, and over again. And the cost? I was burning over $100 per month just on repeated context tokens – information the AI should already know!

My side projects were stalling. I have 3 SaaS ideas I know could be real businesses, but with only 2-3 hours a day after my job, spending 80% of that time wrestling with AI context just wasn't sustainable. Six months later? Nothing launched.

The Real Problem: It's Not the AI, It's the Orchestration!

I realized the issue isn't the Large Language Models themselves. They're amazing. The problem is the lack of memory between sessions and, more importantly, the lack of intelligent orchestration. We're getting "vibe coding" at light speed – fast prototypes, faster tech debt, and ultimately, chaos.

Copilot only autocompletes. ChatGPT requires endless copy-pasting. Even powerful CLIs lack project-level intelligence.

The Solution: Building the Co-Founder I Always Wanted
So, I stopped complaining and started building: MOSAIQO.

MOSAIQO isn't just another AI assistant. It's a Project Intelligence Platform designed to sit on top of tools like Claude and Gemini.

What does it do differently? It EXECUTES.

Imagine this:

You (at a cafe):

"I want to add Stripe payments."

MOSAIQO:

✓ Analyzes your codebase.
✓ Uses AI Planning to generate the necessary tasks (e.g., 12 steps).
✓ Uses smart RAG to feed ONLY the relevant context for EACH task (saving ~95% tokens).
✓ Orchestrates agents (Claude/Gemini) using your API keys to implement the code.
✓ Enforces TDD and quality gates.
✓ Updates your documentation hub.
✓ Creates a Pull Request.

You (30 minutes later):

Review and approve.
Result: 3 hours & $8 in tokens → 30 mins & $0.40 in tokens.

The 3 Unique Game-Changers:

MOSAIQO is built around three core pillars nobody else is combining effectively:

Remote + Multi-Workers: Install lightweight "worker" apps on your home Mac, a cheap VPS, anywhere. Assign tasks from your laptop, and your distributed team of AI agents executes them in parallel, 24/7, using hardware you already own. Work from anywhere, build anytime, without burning your laptop or cloud credits.

Full Lifecycle (Idea → Production): From brainstorming and refining your initial idea with AI Planning, to generating a full project roadmap, orchestrating the implementation, and even...

Auto-Fix Production Bugs: Connect MOSAIQO to Sentry (or similar). When a bug hits at 3 AM, MOSAIQO automatically analyzes it, writes the fix, implements the test, creates the PR, and notifies you. You wake up, review, merge, deploy. Hours of debugging → 5 minutes.

This Isn't Just a Tool, It's a Rebellion
MOSAIQO is my manifesto against "vibe coding," wasted tokens, and ideas dying in notebooks. It's built for developers with side projects, non-technical entrepreneurs, and small startups who need to move fast without sacrificing quality.

And because you run the workers and can bring your own API keys (BYOK), the margins are insane, allowing for affordable pricing ($12-$59/mo for early birds) with a ridiculous ROI for you.

Join the Journey (Build in Public)

Yesterday, I launched the official countdown on mosaiqo.dev. It's more than a clock; it's my public promise to build the core MVP over the next two weeks, sharing the code, the bugs, and the breakthroughs along the way.

The waitlist for the first pioneers opens on November 3rd.

This is Day 1. This is the rebellion.

If you're tired of the AI "ping-pong" and burning money on tokens, if you believe there's a better way to build with AI... join me.

I'd love your honest feedback on this vision. Are you feeling this pain too? What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments!
