Indie dev SimplePost argues: let customers' existing AI subscriptions power your tools, not your app

- 核心观点：在应用内嵌 AI 助手意味着你要承担推理成本，进而只能涨价、限用量或换更便宜的模型；而用户本来就为 ChatGPT 或 Claude 付费，没必要再收一次钱。
- 做法：让助手负责写作与推理，你的产品只提供工具层。作者以自己的产品 SimplePost 为例：它提供预览、校验、定时与发布等工具，让用户在同一个对话里从规划发布到撰写公告，无需把内容拷来拷去。
- 商业逻辑：不转卖模型额度，产品因此可以保持低价，同时保住用户对话上下文。
