Assistant is smarter version of `text-davinci-003` with a good UI. I thought, how hard could it be to just call davinci directly and recreate the good parts? Super easy if you are comfortable with an IDE
People report that davinci API when used by one person could cost as little as $2 a month. I'll know in a month if that is true or if $42 is cheaper.
This is an afternoon's worth of writing code.

From my 1 day of usage (75 requests), I spent $0.21, or $6 a month if I keep this up. I figure I'll come up with some cost efficiencies along the way. Either way, I can do 6x the daily volume and still be ahead of the $42 pro-plan.
