Now: Vibe-coded in-house automation tool, running 3 weeks

$1,408net saved per year, after running costs

Josh Golosinskiy's team at gryd.io replaced Zapier (automation) with a tool vibe-coded in-house, in one move that also dropped Apollo, Wistia, Tweek, Databox, PandaDoc, AuthoredUp, Livestorm, Typeform, MagicPost, Instantly, Kondo and Dub, which have their own stories. They did it mainly to get features added on request, the running cost of the rebuilt tools is shared across all thirteen stories, and HubSpot and Stripe have not been replaced.
