Hi everyone! I'm just starting to explore AI assistants for my DevOps learning and side projects. I've been using Poe's free tier to ask questions about Docker commands and YAML structure, which has been super helpful.
But now I'm looking at building a small custom tool to help generate Terraform snippets. I'm trying to decide between sticking with Poe's subscription or building my own simple UI on top of the OpenAI API. For a beginner like me, which route offers better cost control long-term? And how much complexity would I really be taking on with a custom setup? I'm comfortable with basic Python and some web stuff, but I don't want to get in over my head with managing API keys, rate limiting, etc.
Thanks for any guidance you can share! 😊
