For Episode 38 (April 10, 2026), Sam showed the Offsiteio estimator, a production tool he built for Offsiteio, a corporate offsite company in Jordan and Sam's portfolio. It structures every hotel bid line, flags costs that tend to sink a quote, and turns the chosen properties into a shareable presentation website for the client. It is used every day, and it cut estimate turnaround from about a week and a half to three or four days. Sam didn't say how long the build itself took.
Offsiteio plans offsites for groups of roughly 20 to 200 people or more, and its promise is that a quoted price never changes. That means every cost has to be found before the quote goes out. Sam's example at 02:15: quote $100,000 for a 100-person offsite in Austin, and if it really costs $105,000 or $120,000, "we're upside down on that event."
The old process was an ever more elaborate Google Sheet, followed by days of building a Canva or Figma presentation for each client.
So this is you know essentially replaces a very elaborate Google spreadsheet that we've you know, used over the years to to to perform this exercise in a very structured and easy to digest way.

Yeah. Cloud code, I think, initially. And then after some different neat bugs and updates, we I transitioned to Codex, Supabase for the back end.
— Sam Nadler, Episode 38
I think it's probably our typical prior to having built this tool, our typical turnaround time to preparing, you know, a seven or eight different estimates for for an off-site would take us about a week and a half. I would say now it takes us three to four days.
— Sam Nadler, Episode 38
The first client to see the new format was a repeat customer of several years. Sam called the click-through website an upgrade over the old Canva PDF, and that client went on to book their biggest offsite with Offsiteio yet. Sam was careful to note their own business was growing too, so the tool isn't the only reason. His summary: "it's not that crazy of a tool," but it saves a lot of time, and when a client is ready to buy, speed matters.
Sam didn't list regrets, but he named what comes next:
Later in the same episode, Jordan toured Google AI Studio. For Sam's switch from one coding agent to the other, see Claude Code vs OpenAI Codex.
Sam built a React web app on Supabase, hosted on AWS Amplify, started in Claude Code and finished in OpenAI Codex. You create an estimate per hotel, enter every bid line (rooms, meals, activities, meeting space, AV), and the tool flags costs you have not covered yet.
Offsiteio quotes a fixed price that never changes. If an F&B minimum or AV cost is missed, a $100,000 quote for a 100-person offsite can end up costing $105,000 to $120,000, and the company is underwater. The estimator flags those items so they get locked in with the hotel first.
Preparing seven or eight property estimates used to take about a week and a half. With the estimator and the generated presentation sites, Sam said it now takes three to four days.
Sam used both: he started in Claude Code, then moved to Codex after running into some bugs and updates. The tool is live in production and used daily.
