The first version of agent-config tried to impose uniform rules on Claude, Codex, Copilot, and Gemini — and it broke. The fix wasn't better engineering up front. It was accepting failure fast, letting AI handle per-agent format conversion, and shipping a v2 that actually works. Here's what the failure taught about human instinct, AI-assisted iteration, and why failing cheaper is a skill worth building.
As AI features proliferate across SaaS products, customers are waking up to a frustrating reality: they're paying for the same AI capabilities multiple times. The Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model — letting users connect their own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini API keys — is the market's answer. This post unpacks the real tradeoffs on both sides and maps out which model fits which kind of user.
