AI agents are incredibly powerful, but they can quietly drain your credits way faster than you expect. That surprise overage bill is more common than these platforms want you to know.

In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I'm sharing exactly what happened when Perplexity and Manus started charging me in ways I didn't anticipate, and the simple fix that moved my entire automation workflow to Claude for basically nothing. I walk through how to turn any agent workflow into a portable skill so you're never locked into an AI that's costing too much or underperforming.

AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:

• Why AI platforms use separate credit tiers for agents, apps, and automation tools, and why that matters for your budget.
• How to convert any agent workflow into a reusable skill you can take to any AI.
• Why your brand guide and custom skills are your most portable assets across platforms.
• What to do if an AI updates and suddenly stops working the way you trained it.
• A coming free resource, the Therapist AI Cheat Sheet, breaking down which AI is best for which job.

Every membership owner knows this problem. Someone posts in your Facebook group asking how to log in. Again. You go find the link, post it, tell them to bookmark it, and three weeks later it happens again.

In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I walk you through how I used Claude CoWork to build and publish a custom Chrome extension for my members, without touching a single line of code and without hiring anyone on Fiverr. We're talking a real, downloadable Chrome extension, live in the Chrome Web Store, built for less than $5. If you've got a membership, a course, or honestly just a recurring task that makes you want to scream, this one's going to get your brain spinning.

AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:

• How to describe a problem to Claude CoWork and let it do the technical work, even when you have no coding background.
• Why reducing login friction directly impacts membership retention (and what you can do about it today).
• The step-by-step process Claude used to build, design, and submit the Chrome extension to the Google Web Store.
• How to think about your own business bottlenecks as potential Chrome extension ideas for clients or internal use.
• Why the $100/month Claude plan handled everything a $1,000 Fiverr developer would have.

AI tools have made it easier than ever to build, create, and scale, but they've also made it harder to protect what you build. In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I'm getting into something I've genuinely been wrestling with: what happens when anything can be replicated with a quick deep research session and a vibe coding tool?

I'll walk you through exactly what I did when I didn't want to pay $39 for an app, how it spiraled into a real question about trademarks, intellectual property, and integrity in the age of AI, and where I've landed on all of it.

AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:

• How vibe coding tools like Manus can build a fully customized app in under 10 minutes.
• What "deep research" in AI actually pulls together and why that raises real IP questions.
• How to use the 100 Side Hustles for Therapists freebie with your brand guide to generate personalized income ideas.
