PSA for anyone using Cursor (or similar tools): you’re probably wasting most of your AI requests 😅

So I recently realized something wild: most AI coding tools (like Cursor) give you like 500+ “requests” per month… but each request can actually include **25 tool calls** under the hood.

But here’s the thing—if you just say “hey” or “add types,” and it replies once… that whole request is *done*. You probably just used 1/500 for a single reply. Kinda wasteful.

# The little trick I built:

I saw someone post about a similar idea before, but it was *way* too complicated — voice inputs, tons of features, kind of overkill. So I made a **super simple version**.

After the AI finishes a task, it just runs a basic Python script:

    python userinput.py
    

That script just says:  
`prompt:`  
You type your next instruction. It keeps going. And you repeat that until you're done.

So now, instead of burning a request every time, I just stay in that loop until all 25 tool calls are used.

# Why I like it:

* I get *way more* done per request now
* Feels like an actual back-and-forth convo with the AI
* Bare-minimum setup — just one `.py` file + a rules paste

It works on Cursor, Windsurf, or any agent that supports tool calls.  
(⚠️ Don’t use with OpenAI's token-based pricing — this is only worth it with fixed request limits.)

If you wanna try it or tweak it, here’s the GitHub:

Planning to add image inputs and a few more things later. Just wanted to share in case it helps someone get more out of their requests 🙃

Note: Make sure the rule is set to “always”, and remember — it only works when you're in Agent mode.
