17 Claude Code bots run a real company on $100 a month

The operations lead at a Korean B2B distributor runs seventeen Claude Code bots on a single office MacBook, all for a $100 Claude Max subscription and zero API spend. Only three bots actually call a model, shelling out to the Claude Code CLI instead of the API; the other fourteen are plain Python. The real cost is about an hour a week writing rules and reading alerts.

One hundred dollars a month. That's it. That's the post.
