Feeding a 12-person startup's $8,400/month rent problem to AI and changing the question mid-run
Div_pradeep · x · 2026-09-07
A developer shared a thread on using AI for a real business decision: a 12-person startup burns $8,400/month on office rent, so he gave the numbers to an AI and asked one question — keep the office, go remote, or something in between? Notably, he changed the problem while the AI was still working, revealing how it adapted. A hands-on case of using AI to pressure-test real business tradeoffs.
