Custom Script / Code Snippet — Built For You
Describe the small tool you wish existed and our AI writes it — a Google Apps Script, a Python utility, a JavaScript function, an Excel or Google Sheets formula, a regex, or a config file. You get complete, commented, ready-to-run code in a single self-contained file, plus a short "how to run it" walkthrough. This is a self-contained artifact you run yourself on your own machine or account — it needs no server, database, login or hosting from us. If what you describe would need a backend to run properly, we deliver the best self-contained version and tell you plainly what the hosting side would be your own responsibility. You own the code outright.
One file, commented throughout, that does the specific job you described. It runs on your own machine or inside your own account, and it is yours from the moment it lands. Custom Script / Code Snippet is A$99 one-off, turned around in about four minutes, and arrives as on-page code plus a Markdown download you can copy straight out.
The range is fairly wide — a Google Apps Script, a Python utility, a JavaScript function, an Excel or Google Sheets formula, a regex pattern, a config file. The real question in front of you is not which of those to pick. It is whether the thing you want is a file you run yourself, or a service that has to stay online somewhere. Those are different purchases, and only the first one is this one.
A file you run yourself, not a service we keep alive
Self-contained means there is no server we stand up for you, no database, no login and no hosting on our side. That is a deliberate constraint rather than a gap. Code you hold outright cannot stop working because a subscription lapsed or because a platform you do not control changed something underneath it. Keep it, modify it, reuse it across projects, or hand it to a developer later without asking us.
When a described idea genuinely needs a backend — an endpoint that has to stay reachable, a job that holds state between runs — we do not quietly build around the problem. You receive the strongest self-contained version of the idea, plus a plain statement of which part would require hosting and that the hosting side sits with you. Better to know that at delivery than three weeks later.
The description does most of the work
Precision in what you write is what gets you close on the first pass. "Tidy up my spreadsheet" leaves the AI guessing at every decision. "Take a CSV with columns Date, Description and Amount, and return a second CSV grouped by month with totals per category" does not. Name the platform and the version where it matters — Python 3 rather than just Python, Sheets rather than Excel, because the formula syntax diverges.
Edge cases you already know about deserve a line each: blank rows, dates arriving in two formats, amounts stored as text. A rule you do not mention cannot be coded for. Describing the shape of a sample input, and the shape of the result you want back, is usually worth more than another paragraph of background.
Once it lands, treat the first run as your own test — on a copy, or on sample data. The code is written from your description and is not run against your live files, account or data beforehand, because we never connect to them. That is what the comments and the plain-English walkthrough are for: you, or anyone technical you show it to, can read the logic before it touches anything that matters. Three free AI revisions come with the price, and correcting a first pass against real data is exactly what they exist for.

Frequently asked questions
Does anyone run the code against my data before it reaches me?
No. It is written to your written description and delivered straight to your order page — it is never run against your live account, files or data, because we do not connect to them. Use a copy, or a set of sample inputs, for the first run. The commenting and the walkthrough exist so you can follow exactly what the code does before it goes anywhere near the real thing.
I don't know which language or platform to ask for — is that a problem?
Not fatal, but worth resolving before you write the brief, since the language or platform is something you have to state. Work backwards from where the job has to happen: inside a Google Sheet points to a Google Apps Script or a Sheets formula, a file sitting on your own laptop points to a Python utility, a pattern for matching text points to a regex. Pick the closest fit, then describe the job in enough detail that the choice is obviously right.
What counts as a revision?
A correction to the same brief, not a second script. The intended use is fixing a first pass once you have seen it against real conditions — a column named differently to what you described, an output format you want changed, an edge case that only appeared when you ran it. Send back what needs changing and the code is rewritten to the updated spec.
Is there anything to renew?
Nothing. A$99 is a one-off purchase rather than a subscription, and the code is yours outright — no licence to renew, nothing to check with us before you change it or use it in other work, and no way for the file to stop working because something on our side ended.
