Cohort 13 - Day 1 - 6-17-2025

This final chunk continues John's Replit walkthrough and agent usage details. John demonstrates using Replit agents to read project files (README, progress.md, user-journey.md), update progress checklists, and convert pasted business-plan and feature lists into MD files. He explains Replit billing: checkpoints cost ~$0.25 each, usage is measured in tokens (words) and API credits (example rates discussed), and he receives $50/month in Replit credits as an insider. He shares a personal usage example: $114 spent while writing 150,000 lines of code for Gen AIPI. John notes Replit agents use Anthropic's Claude Opus 4 under the hood. He also outlines how he uses agent prompts to have the agent familiarize itself with the codebase and then implement live game data integration via APIs. The chunk reinforces themes of iterative testing, checking agent outputs, and the need to manually instruct agents to re-check/update project files.
Chapters
Okay, welcome everybody. We'll go ahead and officially kick this off. I think we're supposed to have one more join and hopefully they do. Oh, you know what, this is perfect timing. I have somebody coming to change my windshield today and they just have to confirm that I'm actually home. So give me like three seconds. Hey, this is John. Doing good. I'm on another call, but just want to confirm I am here. Okay, thanks so much. Appreciate it. See ya. All right, they were gonna do their spiel, so I'm like, dude, just tell me what you need to tell me. So. All right, guys, really excited to have you all today. We got a really, really fun group. We're missing one person, guy named Travis Chambers. Really good guy and hopefully, hopefully jumps on. If he doesn't, then, you know, he'll join next week. But, um, but we're going to go ahead and get started. I am recording this entire thing. So if you do miss, you know, anything, if you have to get up, if a call comes in or something crazy like that, you will feel a little bit lost when you come back, but you'll, you'll be able to go back and watch it and you won't miss anything. Feel free. Also, if you guys have your own recording things on Zoom or whatever and you want to click record, go for it, right? So if you want to have your own own little version of that, that's fine. But what I do is I'll record this at the end of the day that I will upload it to YouTube and, and send it out to everybody. Okay? So this will be our little group, our little cohort. So if you're sharing your screen or something crazy like that during it, make sure you don't show your, you know, credit card information or you know, private messages that you don't want to show up. But I'm going to be asking lots of you to share screens today and dive in. Very hands on. We're going to be very hands on today and tomorrow. This is the first time that I've done this course in a two day format, I've done it in a three day format and I've done it in a one day form format. And so this is, I think, a good happy medium. Instead of going eight hours where you're just like, oh, I'm so dead, you know, in one day or three days where it just takes up a little bit more time, we're just going to do two four and a half hour sessions today. I think this is going to be what I do Moving forward, even though I haven't done it yet, I just kind of feel like it's going to work right. Knowing the type of content that we're going to be doing. So I'm not going to introduce myself a lot right now. We'll do that in a minute. I like to kind of dive in and get going. But, but yeah, we'll. Let me, let me just make sure. I mean, I, I'm assuming everybody read through the, the prep, email and information that you need. Hopefully everybody has signed up for chat GPT. You definitely, definitely need chat GPT. Plus at least, right. You don't have to have the Pro. That's 200 plus 20 bucks. If you don't have that, make sure you get it. And you definitely are going to need replit. Okay. In the paid version, you don't have to do the annual, you just do the monthly. And I think that's 30. 30, but 25 bucks. 35 bucks. I don't know, somewhere in there. And Grok, I, we're going to use that right away. You don't necessarily have to pay for grok, but you do get some better results if you, if you, if you have that, you can get some more research and it's nice to bounce off of different models and we'll talk about a lot of that today. But, but guys, just as a quick intro to the course, you know, I, I didn't set out when I started this new business around AI training and consulting. I've been doing some AI training and consulting for a long time. And then I kind of just randomly, I post every day on social media. And one day I got up and I was like, you know, it'd be a fun challenge to see if I could use AI to build a business in a day. So it was a Thursday when I posted that and my goal was to start building a new piece of software that people would pay for and use. And then by Friday, the next day I'd have my first paying customer. It was a crazy challenge like, can I do this in a day? Cause I'd built a bunch of stuff and I thought I was pretty proficient with it. And so I was like, okay, let's do this. And turned out took me an extra day, right? So by Saturday I finished it and then I launched my ad Saturday night and by Tuesday I had my first customer. So it took me a few days longer than expected, but still had $15,000 contract. Within five days of starting a new, of starting a new piece of software, people were paying and Doing good stuff. And then, you know, I started, you know, talking about that a lot on social media, and people said, hey, can you, can you teach me how to do that? I was like, well, yeah. And I actually jumped on a couple of calls with people and they're like, how'd you do it? I talked to them for like 30 minutes and I kind of just high level walked them through and they're like, all right, I'm going to try it, you know, and they've never really figured it out, but I never saw them come back and do anything. But then some people said, why don't you just do a course? And I was like, I've never done a course before, but why not? We'll do it. And now here we are. You guys are Cohort 13. I've taught a lot of obviously private businesses as well and things, but I think you guys are about the 250th to 300th people to do this. And, you know, at about $1,000 a pop, this, this course is generated for me, you know, in, in. In the low to mid six figures, right? Which is, which is really crazy, right? And this, this course, I want to be very clear about this. This course is not about taking a course to learn how to make a course, which a lot of things are out there, right? I've taken those courses, right? And anyway, it's really about, it's about building a real business. And, you know, I make, I make some money through this course, but I actually make more money through my corporate training where I'm working with big companies that can pay me $75,000 in one pop to go do that and whatever. So I. That this course is not the business. It's just one little thing. It is very profitable. And if you have things to teach people, I'm happy to help you. You know, use my template of how I built this thing and show you how to do it all. But we'll be going over lots of really cool stuff today, guys. Everything that we're doing here is aimed at getting a result, right? Instead of just jumping onto the AI and saying, hey, build me a weather app, right? It's going to be okay. Let's build a strategy about why we're building a weather app and how we're going to get dollars in our pockets from what we've built. It's about building a business, not about building a cool product or an mvp. It's about actually getting to customers. And so everything is done with that end goal in mind. Some of you may already have your own business and that's great. And so you don't have to start a new business for this class. You certainly don't. You can build a tool for your business. Right? You're still going to have some outcome for your business that you're pushing towards, right? That hopefully is gener helping you generate more dollars and that's why you're building it. Anyway, if you don't have an idea, you don't know what you want to do. We'll talk about it in a second. But to kick this off, guys, we're going to dive right in and we're going to jump into grog. So I'm going to share my screen here for a minute and then you guys can, you know, just watch for, for the moment and we'll, you know, I'll, I'll have you, I'll have you jump in and start doing your own thing when we get there. Okay, so let me click Share screen. Okay, I'm just going to go to x.com, we'll ignore all the posts for now and go to grok here. Okay, so first off, I want to say this. I am not a software developer, but we're going to be building a lot of software today and tomorrow, right? We're going to be doing a lot of coding and I'll talk a little bit more about my background. But I just want you to know that I don't know how to write one line of code. Okay? So if you don't know how to write code either, then you're right at home if you do. That's great. We'll talk about that in a minute. All right, here we go. So let's see. Write the code or a mind blowing visualization with P5Js and show me where I can. One of the cool things about AI guys is it uses something called NLP or Natural Language Processing. You just get to talk to it, right? Your AI is your developer, it's your marketer, it's your business strategist, it's your therapist. It's whatever you want to use it for. You just talk to it. You tell what you want and it will come out. Most of you have probably used AI to some extent. So all I did here is I just said, hey, I gave it kind of just. I would call this even a bad prompt, right? Hey, give me a visualization with P5JS. P5JS is a front end language, meaning there's no database, there's no data in the background. It's just front end. It's all visual, right? Everything that is happening here in the front end. So it gives me a place to click, right? So it shows me the code. Sorry, let me get this. Okay, Shows me the code here in this little box. There's a little copy button right here that's going to be super useful for you to use today. Instead of having to go and select it, just click that copy button that copies the whole code. You have to wait till it's completely finished writing it, and then you can copy it. Then go to editor P5Js, right? And paste and click play. And now it's built this cool visualization for me, right? And if I hold my mouse right here, I didn't even ask it to do this. I just guessed it did this. Look at that. If I hold that, I can let go and they'll start dispersing again. Kind of like a Windows 98 screen saver or something like that. So kind of fun. All right, whatever. Cool. So I created something, right? That's awesome. Now let's, let's. Let's take a little bit, you know, one step further. Okay, great. Okay, great. Now let's make an interactive 2D model of the solar system. Interactive and animated. Yeah, let's try that. We'll start there. Okay, so here's. Now it remembers. I didn't have to tell it this time P5Js. Now it knows I want P5Js because it understands the context. It understands. We've been talking about that. And so I didn't have to give it that full instruction again. I can just say, okay, hey, great. Now let's do this. Knows exactly what I'm looking for. Here's the cool thing. If I asked a developer to create me a model, a 3D model or an animated whatever, a piece of software representing the solar system, they would have to go and look up all of this data. Like, what is the. You know, how long does it take for it to get around the sun and how big is it? And all these things. You'd have to do a bunch of research, right? But the AI can quickly and easily pull that data because it knows everything. And it can then pull this together. I can click copy, jump in here. I'm just going to select all paste that again and click play. Okay. All right, so it's kind of insane and maybe going a little bit too fast, which is kind of awesome. All right, so let's give it some feedback, right? This is obviously not something that we would, you know, put in Front of our. Our children in, you know, in elementary school because they might have a stroke or something. But let's see if we can. Let's see if we can fix this. Animation is way too fast. Slow it down to something reasonable. Add stars. Add a rotating starry background to give it more life. When I click with the mouse, a vibrant shooting star should shoot my cursor. Yeah, perfect. So now I just gave it a couple instructions. All right. I want it to be slower. I want it, you know, let's add a little starry background to give it a little bit more depth, whatever. And then let's make a little interactivity here. Right? So when I. When I click, it does something. I can't even do anything here. Yeah, it's super, super, super fast here. Very simple. By the way, guys, P5JS is not a, you know, super advanced graphics engine. You're not gonna. You're not gonna get, you know, Call of Duty level graphics here. It's not going to happen. This is more like Snake, right? Think Nokia or, you know, Atari or maybe some sort of thing like that. All right, so let's. It's still writing code. All right, it's done. So I'm going to copy this. Let's see if we've got something a little bit better now. Paste play. All right. Hey, it's a lot slower now. This is much, much better. Okay, so now we can look at this. There should be. Yeah, there's. There's a few stars. There's only a couple stars here. I. I want there to be more stars. Right. But now I can see. All right, it looks like Mercury is kind of on the sun, so I could probably ask it to fix that and make it a little bit more accurate. Maybe I can zoom out here. You've got Uranus. You get Neptune. And then let's click. Can I click for a shooting star? There we go. Kind of fun. It always shoots to the right, which is interesting. It just chose to do that. Right? There's a lot of things we're going to talk about, about how it did this, guys, but that's pretty cool. So now I want you guys to do this. So open up Grok. Open up, open up x dot com. If that's how you signed up for whatever, jump in there. I'm going to give you guys the prompt that I used. I'll drop. I'm going to do this a lot today. I'm going to drop it into the chat here. The very first one that I use, which is write the Code for a mind blowing visualization with P5Js and show me where I can run it. What that's going to do is it's going to tell you P5Js and it's going to ask it. You know where you're going to run it. Now change. Replace the mind blowing visualization to whatever you want. Okay. This is not the business you're making or whatever, right? Just do something fun. Ask it to make a version of Snake. Make it so you use your arrows to run away. You're a little dinosaur running away from things or your person running away from dinosaurs. Or a little golf game or you know, what is it? The asteroid game? Do whatever you want. Okay, we're going to have you guys share your screen in a minute here. You get about a hundred seconds to create something. Okay. That's all you get.
Hey, John, can I ask a quick question?
Yeah, go ahead, Blake.
Maybe I'm getting ahead of.
You're good.
You know what you'll go over. Why did you choose Grok in this case instead of Chat GPT?
Yeah, you can use either one. Both are capable of doing this. I like using GROK to show just different interfaces. That's honestly what I'm doing here. We'll be using GROK and going back and forth between ChatGPT. There's a lot more to that answer that I will get into later. But for now I just want us to get comfortable with a couple different interfaces. That's the short answer. So, yeah, if you don't have Groq, use ChatGPT. Guys, like totally fine. If you don't have Grok today, you will survive the glass. But, but it's nice to do that. So I'm going to keep, you know, asking it to do a couple things for me. Let's see here. Planets. Sure. So, guys, you should obviously start with your prompt, drop it into a code editor. If you're in Grok itself or in ChatGPT, you might even have a little web editor that comes up or. Sorry, it might show like a. A code previewer that lets you see what it's doing. There's a lot of ways to do this and then just talk to it and try to improve it. Just say, hey, I don't want this and I want this to happen. So, et cetera, et cetera. Okay. Anybody have something up and running yet? Gabriel, I saw you nodding your head. You want to show. Show what you got.
Yeah, I, I tried something completely different. I wanted if we could create an app and so let Me share my screen.
Okay.
So that the. The prompt was. Oh, sorry, I need to allow it. Does it work?
Yeah, yeah, we can see it. Yep. Okay, perfect.
So the problem was like, just create a simple calculator for an otolone. And. And it did that. So if I. And it actually works. So I can just like, do the loan amount, interest rate, 12 days, then calculate it. I was surprised at that. I thought it was just like a visual thing. But it actually does all the calculation now.
Front end code can run calculations as well, and sometimes that's a really efficient way to do it. Instead of charging a lock or a lookup to your database every single time and calling your server every single time you're doing something, if it's a basic math calculation that that's just, you know, like. Like what you're showing here, then you can. You can sometimes store that on the front end. And that's really cool. That's awesome. That's awesome. I've actually never tried doing. Doing a calculation with P5Js. I love that it can do that really well.
Yeah.
Yeah. Thanks for sharing. All right, who else can show something? We'll test something running. Jeff, go for it.
Yeah. So I started with the same prompt. I actually did it with Gemini instead of Grok, just to see what it would do.
Cool.
But still do the same editor. And so it started with kind of like these particles moving around, and I changed it around a few times, made it more colorful, and then I made.
Explosions when I click on it.
So that's just a couple of variations I made along the way.
Looks like it's reloading your GPU or something. That's a lot of lines. Yeah, it's a lot. Very cool. You created something.
Yeah, I already reduced the number of particles because it was even smaller, even more when it started.
That's awesome. I love it. Cool. Thanks, Jeff. What else, Brandon?
Real simple. I don't know if you can see my screen. I just doing something interactive, trying to create a little game. Actually ask it to make it look like water. I think it looks more like constellations or something.
Yeah. Yeah. What is the score? What is the. What's the score going at? What's the game? Or what's the point of the game? What does it think it's trying to do?
Not sure yet.
Yeah, that's interesting. That's equals zero.
Yeah, the prompt was.
Yeah. What was your problem? I'm just curious.
Yes, the original prompt was.
It's kind of a fun visualization, like an abstract visualization of Water.
Yeah, I had a few errors I.
Had to just copy and paste into it. Yeah. That's awesome. My vision, focus on interactive game like product. Okay, so you told it to be a game, Right? That's what you did. And then.
Yeah, you know, just a few things. Just trying to update it, make it actually work.
But yeah. Yeah. Well, very cool. Well, obviously, you know, you could say, okay, the score's going up, but I don't know why it's going up. What am I supposed to do for this game? And then it would be like, oh, yeah, hey. And it would think through it and it would give you some sort of game like mechanics. So that's awesome. Very cool. Thanks, Brandon.
Mine. Mine was. I actually use Gemini too, and I kind of like I asked it to make me a prompt. The problem was Gemini just went ahead and built the what they're calling interactive particle vortex 2.0. It's actually really cool. And then I tried to take that prompt and put it into the web editor, and it just wasn't as cool in the web editor for some reason.
Oh, interesting. Well, yeah, show us where. Where it looks coolest. That's what we want to see. See screen two.
So let me get this off of my screen. So here you can adjust the particles.
Oh, nice.
The speed and then the color hue so you could play around with it. And I'd actually asked Gemini to take this prompt and make me some.
Make me a prompt.
That's even more mind blowing. But when it did it, then it actually just ran the code at the same time.
Yeah.
And it conceptualized the whole thing. And so I don't even know what their actual prompt is.
Yeah. Gemini 2.0 Pro is a very powerful code editor. It's very fun to play with to build like this.
And then in the editor, a different one just kind of came out like that wasn't that interesting.
Yeah, yeah. That's more of like it.
Yeah, it's class cool in the web editor for some reason.
Oh, interesting. Well, yeah, show us where. Where it looks coolest. That's what we want to see. Screen two.
So let me get this off of my screen. So here you can adjust the particles.
Oh, nice.
The speed and then the color hue so you could play around with it and guys, you or something.
Void spiral. Yeah, that's cool. I love it. Love it. All right, cool. Who else who hasn't gone? You don't all have to go, but.
John, I do have a question.
Yeah.
So I am receiving an unexpected error when I'm copying My code from Grok into Editor.
Yeah, go ahead and share your screen. Sure.
I got that originally, too. It's actually why I jumped over to Gemini real quick, because we only had 100 seconds.
Interesting.
Okay, yeah, same here.
Yeah, let's see what you got. See.
I'd actually asked Gemini to take this prompt and make me a prompt that's even more mind blowing. But when it did it, then it actually just ran the code at the same time, and it conceptualized the whole.
Thing like a typo, and I accidentally added a bracket or something, and so.
I don't even know what their actual prompt is.
Yeah, Gemini, you might not have accidentally added it, Brandon. Sometimes AI does it, right? And, you know, I don't know why AI would make a mistake like that. It's weird. Like, I can't explain to you why it happens, but it does occasionally. Then it just fixes it.
Okay.
But do you know how long it takes for a human to find an extra bracket? He's like, why is this not working? Like, five years. A long time. It takes forever. Right? For those of you that have ever been around software engineering, right. You just know that AI is so good at just finding that. 2.0 Pro is a very powerful code editor. It's very fun to play with, to build like this.
And then in the editor, a different one just kind of came out. Like, that wasn't that interesting.
Yeah, yeah. It's more of like, it's, you know, that. That air really quick. Is that working for you, Rebecca?
I'm looking. Okay. Sorry, guys. I totally come from the creative world. Okay, where's the button to share screen?
When you're on Zoom, you just go down the bottom. There's a little, like, toolbar, right? Yeah, there's a little share button that should be. You've got, like, participants, chat, react, void, spiral. Yeah, that's cool. Love it, love it.
Y got all of that?
Absolutely. Yeah. You don't see the share button right there?
I have the share button.
Okay, got it. Sweet. And we're going, guys, this exercise is two parts. One, it's to see if you guys know how to work Zoom. And two, you get to start coding. Okay. So it's saying the syntax. All right, cool. Who else who hasn't gone? You don't all have to go, but.
John, I do have a question. I am receiving an unexpected error when I'm copying my code from Grok into Editor there.
Unexpected end of input.
Yes.
Yeah. So go ahead and click the little arrow right next to that. That red arrow. And this gives you exactly where it is. So go ahead and copy that.
The whole thing?
Yep, the whole thing. The syntax There? Yeah, right there. Copy, drop back into Grok, paste it and click Enter again. It understands the context of what you're asking. It's not like. What is she saying here? No, it knows. Okay. I just wrote some code, and then. This is syntax error. Something's not working right. It's going to fix it. Upon reviewing, the code appears complete. Maybe you. Did you copy it too early? Did you wait for it to be done?
I did wait to be done.
Okay. All right. Just checking. Sometimes that doesn't work, but it's going to. Write it again. Just make sure it works. Go ahead and scroll down, watch it finish. Go ahead and share your screen. Sure.
I got that originally, too. It's actually why I jumped over to Gemini real quick, because we only had 100 seconds.
Interesting.
Yeah. Let's just let it go all the way down.
Same here.
Yeah. Let's see what you got.
Mine was like a typo and I accidentally added a bracket or something. End up having to.
Okay. All right. Go ahead and click that copy button. Now you can click it right there without even having to scroll to the top. Yep. And then select all and paste it again and play. There you go. Perfect. So tell us what we're looking at. Looks like. Okay. Cacti or a forest or, I don't know, something like that.
Yeah, definitely looks like cacti. This is supposed to be the luscious Amazon forest.
Nice. Well, you've been there. Is that what it looks like?
Absolutely not. But the green looks good.
That's awesome. So one of the things that I would say to this, I'd say this looks terrible. You might not have accidentally added it, Brandon. Sometimes AI does it. Can we make it look a little better? Right? Like, it's just. It's all blobs together, whatever. Anyway, so you can. Right. And, you know, I don't know why AI would make a mistake like that. It's weird. Like, do that. You can play with that. The purpose of this exercise guy, I can't explain to you why it happens, but it does occasionally. Then it just fixes it.
Okay.
As is. Not to build something amazing, but for how many of you, is this the first time where you've actually, like, coded something? Coded something. And then you saw that, you were able to see what you actually made. I did this for the first time a couple years ago, and having paid tens of millions of dollars to software developers over my career, I Was really excited. Like, oh, my gosh. I just wrote something that worked and I actually worked on it for a while and got something really beautiful working. And I went back and forth and got it. It was, you know, 800 lines of code and had all these interactive things and a start menu and these things. Like, I built a cool little game and I was just like, this is. But do you know how long it takes for a human to find an extra bracket? It's like, why is this not working? Like, five years.
A long time.
It takes forever. Right. For those of you that have ever been around. So fun. Right? All right. Anybody. Is anybody else? Is anybody not gone that wants to show they're cool, their cool creation?
I can show you mine real quick.
Yeah, let's do it.
I initially tried to on software engineering.
Right. You just know that AI is so good at just finding that quick. You know that. That error really quick. Is that working for you, Rebecca?
I asked it to create an Angry Birds style game.
Nice.
And I'm getting continuous errors on that part. So I've moved on to something different. And I just asked it to create a. Something that I would use in work all the time, which is to calculate the present value. Create a calculator for me to calculate the present value of an annuity stream of income. And it's got these blanks here. At first, the entry text boxes.
I'm looking. Okay. Sorry, guys. I totally come from the creative world.
We're covering up all of the. The other font completely. And so I've been asking it to make adjustments to those boxes where I can input the variables. And it's still got some work to go.
Okay.
Where's the button to share screen when you're on Zoom?
You just go down the bottom. There's a little, like, toolbar, right?
Yeah.
There's a little share button that should be. You've got like, participants, chat, react.
I'm curious to see if this actually would math out the way that I would normally act.
Yeah.
Got all of that.
Absolutely. Yeah. You don't see the share button. Right.
Calculate it. But it's got a functional calculator in here.
Yeah, it's working. So does this mean if I paid 50,000.
So this is like if you've got a stream of $2,500 a month coming in.
Yeah, yeah.
For the next 260 months, we want to discount that to present value at a 5% discount rate. It spits out the. The value for me.
Very cool. I love it. Super cool. Super cool, guys. All Right. All right, one last call for sharing, and we'll just move on here. Okay, guys, that's. That's perfect. So what I want to do now is go over a couple. So first of all, what did you guys think of that? Isn't that. Isn't that kind of fun right there?
I have the share button.
Okay, got it. Sweet. And we're going, guys, this exercise is two parts. One is to see if that interesting to be able to say, okay, I've got an idea, and I can just tell it, and boom, I've got something working. Even though it is all very, you know, rudimentary. Right. It was all very, very basic. You guys know how to work zoom. And two, you get to start coding. Okay, so it's saying the syntax error. Unexpected end of input.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah. So go ahead and click the little error. Okay. Any thoughts or questions or comments on that before we move on? I'm gonna give. This is a very interactive class. We'll have lots of. Lots of fun discussions. But I think we've all kind of said what we think here. Now what we're gonna do is you're gonna just watch me again for a second here, and I'm gonna stop my. Stop my solar system from spinning, and I'm gonna bounce over here, and I'm gonna jump into. Let's see here. I want. All right, we're gonna start something new here. Okay? One of the cool things that I do. And we're not gonna jump into Rep it right now, guys, so don't do that. But I want to show you something that we're. Little bit of discussion. Do some intros, things like that, but replit right next to that, that red arrow. And this gives you exactly where it is. So go ahead and copy that.
The whole thing?
Yep, the whole thing. The syntax there? Yeah, right there. Copy and drop back into grok.
Okay.
Paste it. And is a really amazing program that I discovered probably for the first time about a year ago. Click Enter. Boom. So, again, it understands the context of what you're at. And it's grown a lot since then. It's been around for a while, but I started really using it when AI was really deeply embedded into it, and it just blew my mind. But one of the cool things I get to do every single time I teach this course, I build something completely new. And so I built dozens and dozens of apps just teaching these courses to people and to businesses and what. And sometimes I just have cool stuff that I want to work on myself. Right? It's not like, what is she saying here? No, it knows. Okay. I just wrote some code and then this is syntax error. Something's not working. Right. And so it's going to fix it. Right. And so upon reviewing, the code appears complete. Right. Maybe you. Did you copy it too early. And in fact, all of Gen API, this entire everything. Lee, did you wait for it to be done?
I did wait to be done.
It was built using replit here. Okay, so we're now going to get into a little bit more advanced here and then we're going to back way up. Okay, So I just got to think here for a second. I didn't. I didn't come prepared today with a business idea like I told you guys to do. Let's see here. I want to do something today that scrapes data because I think. Okay, all right, just checking. Sometimes, sometimes that doesn't work, but it's going to write it again. I think that's kind of fun. Let's come up with like. All right. I'm a big BYU fan. Okay. And so I'm going to roll with that theme today. Just make sure it works. And so go ahead and scroll down, watch it finish. You saw, I just. I've got this little BYU cougars, I don't know, glass thing. Let's just let it go all the way down. Okay. All right, go ahead and click that copy button. Now you can click. I don't know if you can see that. It's kind of hard to see. Anyway, it was just sitting right here and I saw that. I was like, ah, I'll build something BYU related. I've never done that. So build me a fan dashboard for my favorite college team, byu. Let's focus for now on football and basketball. Get right there without even having to scroll to the top. Yep. And then select all and paste it again and play. There you go. Perfect. So tell us what we're looking at. Looks like.
Okay.
Cacti or a forest or I don't know, something like that.
Yeah, definitely looks. I don't mean to interrupt, but it looks like Jeff Perry is walking. I need whatever device he has right now. Like cacti. This is supposed to be the luscious Amazon forest.
Nice.
In my office, that is.
Yeah. We're going to be settling in here for a long time today and tomorrow. I got to move, so.
Yeah, got to go.
Just little.
I am all about movement, man.
I could have called you up beforehand to be there.
Just an under desk treadmill is all it is.
Very cool. Yeah, I love, I love Those things. And I also like the bike ones. Right. Where you've got like a desk right there at your bike. Anyway, so I gave it an instruction. Guys, build me a fan dash. Well, you've been there. Is that what it looks like?
Absolutely not.
But the green board, let's focus for now on football and basketball. Okay, Great. And now here, here's something that's important. Green looks good. That's awesome. So one of the things that I would say to this, I'd say this looks terrible. Can we make it look a little better? Right? Like it's just, it's all blobs together, whatever. Anyway, so you can. I didn't give it a lot of instructions. Right. This is what I would call a. A fairly bad prompt. Okay. Kind of like how I started in the beginning. Like, hey, give me a mind blowing visualization. I didn't give it any direction. Right. I'm being a bad boss. I'm being a bad, you know, conductor. Do that. You can play with that. The purpose of this exercise guy, right, really, if you get a bad output, it's because you had a bad input. That's really AI. AI outputs that are bad are really probably your fault. Well, sometimes they're your fault. Sometimes AI does something stupid, something weird. But for the most part, if you give it the right instructions, it will, it will build pretty incredible things. Okay, so with basically no instructions about why are we doing this? What's it supposed to do? What kind of information should I be seeing? It is it, is this not to build something amazing, but for how many of you, is this the first monetizable. Is this something that's just a personal tool for you? What's going on time where you've actually like coded something. Coded something. And then you, you know, saw that you, you know, wow, eight wins, three losses. Is that right? You were able to see what you actually made. I did this for the first time a couple years ago. I don't think that's right. The AP ranking is close. I thought we ended 13. So anyway, it's probably making this stuff up. It's probably just doing a visual preview. And I bet you all of this data is just mock data right now. Right? And I could obviously have it go in and check all of that stuff. Look at the. And having paid million tens of millions of dollars to software developers over my career, recent games. Yeah. So it's pulling, it's pulling a lot of this stuff again, is not correct. So don't judge by the content right now. But isn't this crazy, guys, look, all I did was give it a little basic prompt. And now again, this is way beyond Grok or Gemini or any of those things we were working on just now. It is. It's just building a full. A fully functional website. Right. That's pulling. I was really excited, like, oh, my gosh. I just wrote something that worked and I actually, you know, in fake data again, we can attach it or point it at APIs and things like that. So they worked on it for a while and got something really beautiful working. And I went back and forth and got it. It was, you know, 800 could pull this data correctly. There's lots of good sports APIs out there. Hey, I did get Jake Bretzlaff. That's cool. 100 lines of code and had all these interactive things and a start menu and these things. Like, I built a cool little game and I was just like, this is. I don't know if the, the number of yards is correct. LG Martin. So it's getting some of these things right. It's crazy that it just kind of randomly gets some things right and then doesn't on other things because, you know, the ranking was wrong. But so fun. Right? All right, anybody is anybody else. Is anybody not gone that wants to, you know, these are our real players. I wonder if the number of yards they did are correct as well. Did LJ have 1200 yards?
That's.
That's a lot of yards. I don't know if he had that in that season. Maybe that's career. I don't know. But anyway, bottom line is this is going to start or keep building for a bit. Okay. And so we'll just kind of let this happen in the background. It's actually gonna take about 10 minutes. So we're not going to sit here and watch the whole thing. Show they're cool, their cool creation.
I can show you mine real quick.
But while this is going, guys, I want to do some intros. Okay. So.
I initially tried to.
I want to just go around, around the. Around the horn here. You get a grand total of like 21 seconds to introduce yourself. Maybe 25 if you have a lot to say.
I asked it to create an Angry Birds style game.
Nice. But I just need your name where you're from. I want to know whether or not you've ever.
And I'm getting continuous errors on that part.
So I've moved coded before. Right. If you have any development experience. Right. And then, and then actually I'm going to. I'm going to Extend the time limit to 32 seconds. And I want to hear what your business idea is. Okay. Or what you're. What you're going to be building today.
Right on to something different. And I just asked it to create a something.
So, by the way, guys, if you're really fretting about, like, I don't know what to build, like, I have ideas, but I'm not sure what to do. And I don't want to pick the wrong one. Guys, I've had so many people come in this course, and they build three things by the end of it because they're like, I'm going to start over. And they know how to quickly catch up and do this because you see how fast you can just dive into a new idea. So don't worry about that. Don't fret.
That I would use in work all the time, which is to calculate the present value. Create a calculator for me to calculate the present value of an annuity stream of income. And it's got these blanks here at first, the entry text boxes.
What you're learning over the next two days is how to do this. And whatever you build right now is just going to help you do awesome stuff. Okay. Make it as complicated or simple as you want. And then I'm just going to go in the order that I see it on my screen here. So I'll just call you out. Clint, go ahead. Okay.
I'm Clint Hanson. I'm an attorney here in Salt Lake. I do litigation, and most of my work is with probate. We're covering up all of the other font completely. And so I've been asked and family will and trust fights. And so one of my thoughts for today was I'd like to do more trustee work where people need an independent trustee to make adjustments to those boxes where I can input the variables. And it's still got some work to go. I'm curious to see if this actually would math out the way that I would normally. I thought I could build a, you know, a business about advertising myself and calculate it, but it's got a functional calculator in here.
Yeah, it's working. So does this mean if I was.
Available for trustee work?
Very cool. I love it. So you're focused on a website marketing website where people can submit forms and request, hey, I paid 50,000.
So this is like, if you've got a stream of $2,500 a month, I.
Want more information on this, et cetera.
Yes.
Yeah. Very cool. Do you want them to be able to book with you directly from that.
Yes.
Yeah, that'd be cool. And then, yeah, maybe you can even add in some AI outreach that automatically sends messages to different people on LinkedIn that match certain things you're looking for.
And coming in for the next 260 months, we want to discount that to present value at a 5% discount rate. It spits out the. The value for me.
Very cool. I love it. Super cool. Super cool, guys. All right, Just kind of build this funnel that's not only the. Not only the product itself, but pushing towards it. So keep that in mind as you build. Gabrielle.
Hi.
All right, one last call for sharing.
So, Gabriel Jacques. I'm originally from Switzerland, born in Switzerland, grew up in France and moved here about 20 years ago. I do product marketing for tech companies. And so I. I know how to code, but, like, super basic stuff. So, like, I. Mostly HTML and as a product marketer, I work with the engineers, so I can talk to them, but, like, it's not my forte at all.
And we'll just move on here. Okay, guys, that's. That's perfect.
But what I do want to work on is a tool to take the.
So what I want to do now is go over a couple. So first of all, what do you guys think about. Isn't that. Isn't that kind of fun relationship between.
A customer and a business through texting to the next level?
Isn't that interesting to be able to say, okay, I've got an idea, and I can just tell it and boom, I've got something working.
So now with a dentist, you can type C to confirm the. The next appointment, but that's basically it. And say, like, oh, please, I'd like to reschedule. Like, I want to take that next level. Like, ask questions, reschedule, purchase something.
Even though it was all very, you know, rudimentary. Right. It was all very, very basic and.
Or depending on the business, like, really just interact and transact through the texting. And so, yeah, that's what I like. Something like a texting concierge. I got the idea because I was going through a form and I was like, that's really annoying on. On a mobile phone, you know, and so if I could just like, detect.
Okay, any thoughts or questions or comments on that before we move on? Let me give. This is a very interactive class. We'll have lots of. Lots of fun discussions.
But to me, like, hey, I need your first name. Okay, here it is. Last name, here it is.
And then after enter, I think we've all Kind of said what we think here. Now what we're going to do is you're going to just watch me again for a second and that's it.
So like we're so used to using our text and so if you could do everything through it, it would be a lot easier to interact with a different business.
Yeah, I love that there's obvious here and I'm going to stop my. Stop my solar system. See some big businesses in the area. Where are you based, Gabriel?
Highland.
You're in Highland. Okay. But coming from. From France. Yeah. Yeah. Very cool. Well, welcome. Well that's awesome. So yeah, I mean obviously you've got things like podium and others in the area that are doing big tech space stuff but. But yeah, they don' quite do what you're talking about and it's not. Yeah, right. You're going to be able to build that. You. I. I could build what you're talking about there probably in about 90 minutes from spinning and I'm going to bounce over here and I'm going to jump into. Let's see here. I want. All right, we're going to start something. It'll take you probably more like six or seven hours the first time but after you know what you're doing the new here. Okay. One of the cool things that I do and we're not going to jump into replit right now, guys. So don't do that. But I want to. It's going to be pretty awesome. I love it. Justin. Yeah.
Hey Justin and show you something.
Then we're going to have a little bit discussion, do some intros, things like that. But Rep with Phoenix Arizona.
Been a marketer for about 15, 20 years. Fractional CMO last couple years. The idea is actually before I even.
Sign up here is a really amazing program that I discovered probably for the first time about a year ago and it has grown a lot since then. It's been around for a while, but I started started really using when AI was really deeply embedded into it and it just blew my mind. Okay.
Your class even knew about your class. I've been playing around with Gemini and ChatGPT for businesses in the marketing space. Obviously I think it's the first place that AI attacked and I don't have a lot of coding experience. In fact, I probably have very little. I understand it and I can talk with somebody about it, but I've never actually.
But one of the cool things I get to do every single time I.
Teach this implemented or done any coding myself.
Yeah.
So I was playing around with an idea in the marketing space. I work with a lot of local businesses and so surf movers, electricians, H Vac. So my idea which also kind of competes well, doesn't compete but it would be in the same arena as like Podium or some of these services or.
I build something completely new. Right. And, and so I built dozens and dozens of apps just teaching these courses.
To people and to like gmb, Google Business Profile Optimization.
So for small businesses and whatever and sometimes I just have cool stuff that I want to work on myself. Right.
Local businesses automate and enhance their local visibility. Provide a scorecard on how they rank against other service based businesses in their.
Space and in fact all of gen IPI this entire everything their GMB vs.
Another what they can do to optimize it. Giving them checklists, automated reviews that they would have the option to you know, edit or adjust before. So it's all just teed up for em. They log in. Here's your task for the day to keep optimizing. Here's the reviews. We've already drafted responses for you.
Not totally unique I think was built using replit here. Okay. So we're now going to get into a little bit more advanced here and then we're going to back way up. Okay. So I just got to think here for a second. I didn't, I didn't come prepared today with a business idea like odm.
Some of these companies do bits and pieces of my idea. I don't think they've all put it in one box yet.
Not like I told you guys to do. Let's see here. I want to do something today that scrapes data.
Because I think to say they couldn't. They're billion dollar companies that are probably focusing on AI but just something fun to build. I mean I wasn't thinking this would be the company but it was just something that I know and I understand it. Thought it'd be something cool to like dig in and understand what I'm building.
No, it's really good because you'll have to use. That's kind of fun. Let's. Let's come up with like. All right. I'm a big BYU fan. Okay. And so I'm going to roll with that theme today. Some Google APIs and things like that. I really want everybody thinking about how do I integrate multiples. You just saw. I just, I've got this little BYU cougars, I don't know, glass thing. I don't Services. Right. I want you to learn how to use APIs. It's not hard. And that's where the magic really comes to life is when you can use one tool and another tool and another tool in conjunction to work together towards whatever you're putting up. You can see that. It's kind of hard to see. Anyway it was just sitting right here and I saw that. I was like, I'll build something by you related. I've never done that. So purposes and once you understand how to put it together, then you can go build 100, you know, 100 different things, you know, on your own time. But that's awesome. I love it. Justin Blake, go ahead.
As Blake Gailey here. I live in Bluffdale, Utah which is Lehigh area. Point of the mountain. I come from. No.
Build me a fan dashboard for my favorite college team, byu. Let's focus for now.
No experience on any of what we're talking about. I was one of your last minute add ins here. So I'm going through a transition from where I did work.
Got about on football and basketball.
Six other opportunities of. Of employment. And I think I'll use this as creating more business plan on.
On.
On the sell side.
I don't mean to interrupt, but it.
Looks like how to take a product to market. I didn't come in with the direct thing I needed to build or solve. But yeah, I'll be doing something related.
Related to that direct on a. Jeff Perry is walking. I need whatever device he has right now in my office that is.
Yeah, we're gonna be settling in here for a long time. Today and tomorrow I gotta move. So.
Yeah, gotta go. I am all about movement, man.
I should have called you up beforehand to be present.
Just an under desk treadmill is all it is.
Very cool. Yeah, I love. I love those things. And I also like the bike ones.
Right.
Where you a specific product. Got it. Got it. Yeah. When we're in a minute here, we'll start diving into some strategy and business plans and doing that. And in that you'll be able to. It will help you out like a desk right there at your bike. Anyway, so I gave it an instruction. Guys, build me a fan dashboard. Let's focus for now on football and basketball. Okay, great. And now here. Here's something that's important. I didn't give it a lot of instructions. Right. This is what I would call a. A fairly bad prompt. Okay. Kind of like how I started in the beginning. Like hey, give me a mind blowing visualization. I didn't give it any direction. Right. I'm being a bad boss. I'm being a bad you know, conductor, you better define exactly what you're trying to build. Okay, But I love it. That's awesome. Okay. I used to live, I used to live in Traverse Mountain right across the street from Bluffdale. So that's awesome. Okay. Right. Really, if you get a bad output, it's because you had a bad input. That's really AI. AI outputs that are bad are really probably your fault. Well, sometimes they're your faults. Brandon. Thank you guys.
Brandon Jameson here, Tupelo, Mississippi. So I'm on the other side of the country. I'm currently setting in a mattress manufacturing plant that, that I own and, and run.
Sometimes AI does something stupid, something weird, but for the most part, if you give it the right instructions, it will, it will build pretty incredible things. Okay, so with basically no instructions about why are we doing this, what's it supposed to do, what kind of information should I be seeing? It is it is this.
I have no coding experience, you know, and there, there's tons of opportunities for, for marketing and all kinds of stuff to use my business. But the two things that I want to do through this course, one of them is actually going to help a neighbor. He has a timber monetizable.
Is this something that's just a personal tool for you? What's going on?
Consulting business. I'm going to want to create a website. I want to use some local API.
Wow. Eight wins, three losses, is that right? I don't think that's right. The AP ranking is close. I thought we ended 13. So anyway, it's data to collect data on landowners and help him probably making this stuff up. It's probably just doing a visual preview and I bet you all of this.
Generate some leads and create some like CRM type, you know, basically enhances business for timber sales and, and leads. But then I'm also a horse owner. I've got about 25 horses and I want to create an app, a tool to help people manage their schedules.
For data is just mock data right now. Right. And I could obviously have it go in and check all of that stuff. Look at the recent games. Yeah, so it's pulling, it's pulling data. A lot of this stuff again is not correct. So don't judge by the content right now. But isn't this crazy, guys? Look, all I did was give it a little basic prompt. And now again, this is way beyond Grok or Gemini or any of those things we were working on just now.
Horses, their vets, they're worming. They're basically even create kind of like A a help tool that can answer questions, nutrition, vet care, all this stuff. Basically an app called Heyday that I can.
It is. It's just building a full. A fully functional website right.
That's pulling monetize for the very, very large number of horse owners in the country.
Very cool. Well I'm one of those and my wife really it's her as her in fake data again. We can attach it or point it at APIs and things like that so that it could pull this data correctly. There's lots of good sports APIs out there. Hey, I did get Jake Redzlaff. That's cool. She's the, she's the horse person. But I definitely support her with my wallet and and show up to all her events. She does barrel barrel racing and things like that and has a good time. So do my kids. So that's awesome. I love it. And that's an obvious API integration. You'll you know, pull in open AI or perplexity or whatever. You know, whatever AI make sense for that and yeah, build. Build something really interactive and fun. I love that. Very cool. Brandon. Rebecca.
Hi, I'm Rebecca Pacheco. I'm originally from Washington D.C. i don't know if the.
The number of yards is correct. LG Martin. So it's getting some of these things right. It's crazy.
I've been living myself in a suitcase around the world for about a little over 25 years. I work in show business as well as consulting. It's the easiest way umbrella to say it. I'm a performer myself. If you see me on stage, I'm a concert pianist or the conductor of the orchestra in symphony with operas. All big show business. I don't know much about coding in the essence of basically how to develop it but I am very much aware of it since my father was the.
Head of the see that it just kind of randomly gets some things right and then doesn't on other things because you know the ranking was wrong.
But team that actually created all the language recognition when tech was created back in the 70s, 80s and 90s. So he first worked with IBM.
He was, you know, these are real players. I wonder if the number of yards they did are correct as well. Did LJ have 1200 yards? That's. That's a lot of yards. I don't know if he had that in that season. Maybe that's career. I don't know.
Main team that actually smoothed over the Y2K from 99 to 2000 and then also worked with big global contractor CSC out of Washington D.C. for many, many years. So I am aware of tech and coding but it's amazing to see how much advancements in a short time the business idea.
But anyway, bottom line is this is going to start or keep building for a bit. Okay.
Is I've come up with is really just enhancing what I've been doing for many, many years from coaching, consulting but really getting real hands on information that matter most to help the musicians and the university grad students to understand real hands on tools to.
So we'll just kind of let this happen in the background. It's actually going to take about 10 minutes. So we're not going to sit here and watch the whole thing. But while this is going guys, I want to do some intros. Okay. So I want to just go around, around the, around the horn here. You get a grand total of like 21 seconds to introduce yourself. Maybe 25 if you have a lot to say. But I just need your name where you're from. I want to know whether or not you've ever coded before. Right. If you have any development experience. Right. And then, and then actually I'm gonna, I'm gonna extend the time limit to 32 seconds and I want to hear.
Actually succeed in life. And that is everything from advancing your skill, what really matters with the systems we've created in our societies as well as lifestyle and not burning out. So from in essence it's very similar.
To UK's what your business idea is. Okay. Or what you're, what you're going to be building today. Right.
Say it's a mentoring program. So I have a very large network of very successful and open working business people at the high elite status in just about every industry and I would like to funnel all that so that university grad students as well as show.
So by the way guys, if you're really fretting about like I don't know what to build, like I have a.
Business, performers are going to be able to have the necessary information but I'm.
Not sure what to do and I don't want to pick the wrong one. Guys, I've had so many people come in this course and they build three things by the end of it because they're like I'm going to start over and they know how to quickly catch up and do this.
Because you see often instead of 8 to 12 years of university, they can actually get it depending on how present and aware they are, they can get that within two to four hours, if not one to two month. Intensive academy and institute.
Very cool. Thank you, Rebecca. That sounds, that sounds awesome. So you're, you're going to be building, you'll be working on building the academy is that we're going to try to work on today fast. You can just dive into a new idea. So don't worry about that. Don't fret. I know you have ideas you want to. Are you going to work on kind of your own personal branding website, coaching, you know, all that stuff? Are you going to. But working academy?
Yes. So what I've done actually is I've, I've prioritized what would be worthwhile to start with, to monetize. So, yes, starting with the coaching.
You're. What you're learning over the next two days is how to do this. And whatever you build right now is.
Just going to help coaching as well as. Again, I'm a big extreme adventure athlete as well, so putting tours together to see who would like to go explore, experience.
You do awesome stuff. Okay. Make it as complicated or simple as you want. And then I'm just going to go in the order that I see it on my screen here. So I'll just call you out. Quint, go ahead.
Okay. I'm Clint Hansen.
I'm remote parts of this world. So between the, the adventure tours as well as the coaching, seems like that is the best way to start to then enhance the rest of the business and enterprise.
I love it. That's awesome. Very cool. Well, we're excited to have you, Rebecca. I've seen you.
I'm an attorney here in Salt Lake. I do litigation, and most of my work is with probate in concert before.
And I've seen your brother Nathan as well. Nathan Pacheco, for those of you that maybe have come across him. They're, they're, they're a very talented family. They do a lot of good stuff. So excited to have you. All right, Stephen. So I'm Steve Swenson, and I'm here because my wife just signed me up.
This morning and family will and trust fights. And so one of my thoughts for today was I'd like to do more trustee work where people need an independent trustee. I thought I could build a, you know, a business about advertising myself.
She wanted to take this class, but I guess she thought that it would be better for me to take it. So here I am. I've actually been working a little bit with AI recently and I've been planning to use it to create an AI agent to run through a database of information to analyze things related to real estate development, going over code and property information and that there's a whole bunch of research that I want it to be able to do to come up with good development opportunities or other real estate opportunities. Very cool. That's awesome. I love the. By the way, I know your wife Valerie, obviously, and that's awesome. Nice to meet you. But yeah, that's a pretty interesting one. There's a few tools like agentic systems like Manus or Runner Age, different things like that you'll be able to do. And you'll absolutely be able to build your own custom AI agent. During this, during this course will be very, very easy. That's integrating just a few things and you can, you could build that after you know what you're doing in probably about 20 minutes. As long as you've got all the data, you know, pulled together right, you've got like a folder of all your stuff, you can just drag it in, do this, give these instructions, ask, you know, AI to fix this up. Boom, launch, it's ready to rock. Super, super easy. I'm planning to use a air table and have it just work with that. Amazing. Airtable's awesome. That has a great API, obviously. All right, last but not least, Jeff. And by the way, Jeff put his LinkedIn in the chat here. Everybody else, feel free to do that. It's great for you guys to get connected. You know, you're just like going to Harvard. You don't really learn like actual things in Harvard, but you meet cool people and that's what really matters. So anyway, this is a strong group of people. Feel free to throw your, throw your LinkedIns in there. I think all of you are connected to me already. But yeah, feel free to drop them in. Go ahead, Jeff.
Are you, are you comparing your courses to Harvard, John? Is that what's happening right now?
This is way better than Harvard. You're actually going to learn useful things today. You can apply immediately. Sweet.
Anyway, yeah, thanks. Jeff Perry originally grew up in Sandy, Utah, but I live in a small town called Pullman, Washington. Right now they are home of the outcasts of the rebuilding PAC 12 Washington State University. But yeah, so I, there are two, two angles. One is I do a lot of leadership and career development work for engineers and tech people. I actually have an engineering background. I spent about two, two and a half years as a software engineer, but most of my career was in manufacturing, mechanical engineering. So I haven't written meaningful code in like nine years. And. But then the other side is I am part of a startup With a couple friends called Higher Aligned. Using AI to improve the hiring process for candidates and companies to improve alignment with who we hire. And so that's AI driven as well. And so I'm looking at it from both sides of create some tools in my coaching world from marketing, Anna, client management side, and then also using tools for startup owned products. So a couple different things there.
Very cool. What part of Sandy were you born in?
Right on the Sandy Draper border.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, 121st south and Southeast.
Got it. Yeah. 120. Yeah, 121st. Okay. Yeah, I know exactly where. So I, I went to high school at Alta.
So did I.
Very cool.
Probably probably knew a sibling or something.
Yeah, for sure. I graduated in 04. That's my.
Yeah, so my older brother graduated.
Oh, three.
Brian.
What was his name? Brian.
Brian.
Brian. Really big dude.
Very large.
I don't know if I was cool enough to know him, but he thinks he's pretty cool. He's a pretty. We had what, 1200 people graduate in our each class.
That's a lot.
Yeah, Alto was a big school side. Nobody for sure. All right, cool, guys. Well, thank you. Thank you all for your intros. I'll do a little bit of more in depth intro myself right now. Not too long. A lot of you guys follow me on LinkedIn. You know, maybe at least a little bit about me. But, you know, I already gave the intro of how this kind of course came about. And, you know, the backstory to that is, you know, I mentioned I've paid millions of dollars. You know, I've raised millions of dollars for my first big startup. I've been an entrepreneur since I was like 7 years old, like selling mistletoe door to door. We'll talk about sales tomorrow. But. But yeah, I've just always had ideas and, and, and wanted to. Wanted to bring them to Life. And in 2016, I'd been, you know, I'd been doing, you know, I was really. I'm really a sales guy, actually. Is. Is what I'm. Is what my core is at. But I've been doing sales and had done well making, you know, 400,000 a year. And I was like, okay, time to start my own thing. And, you know, by. By 2016, I said, okay, I'm gonna. I'm gonna start something cool in the kind of the adventure space. I'm like, Rebecca, I'm. I love the outdoors as well. I'm an adventurer. I'm an extreme kayaker. You know, class five, rapids and waterfalls and all kinds of fun Stuff, that's what I really love to do. That's where I wish I was all the time. And if I wasn't a tech CEO, I'd, I'd probably be on, you know, the Red Bull channels. All of those guys that you see going off big, huge things, Dane Jackson and Rafa Ortiz and all those people are so. But anyway, I found, I found this business model that I really liked. Most of you probably heard of it, and it's called the Color Run, right? And the Color Run is basically you go, you run a 1k or a 5k or whatever it is, and people throw, you know, chalk at you like a Hare Krishna festival, basically, right? And this Guy was making $30 million a year doing this, franchising this around the country. And, you know, it's very viral because, you know, you take pictures and people share it and they're like, oh, I want to do that. And then they sign it for the next one. Oh, where's the next race? I want to come to the next one. It's very shareable content, super smart, super smart. And so I decided to do something along those lines and anyway, started a company called Treasure Canyon, started putting on treasure hunts, you know, in the same kind of thing where people pay, you know, and there's, there's an actual treasure hunt. It's buried somewhere. So, you know, still lots of cool pictures, opportunities, things like that. And that, that grew. We did that only, only for about a year, and then pivoted it into a tech kind of variation of that where we were kind of in the Pokemon Go world, right, where you'd go around, you'd find treasure using augmented reality, right. And created a company called Seek, right. Ended up raising $13 million for Seek. We pivoted in Seek in 2018 to a B2B SaaS company focused on augmented reality. So you, you know, the type of stuff that you see, you know, Snapchat was obviously doing it at the time, but we were the first people to be doing it on the web, right? So you'd go to a website, you click on a little thing and it pulls up, you know, your camera and you can see what that table where the shoes look like, you know, whatever it is. Augmented reality did all that, raised $13 million and ended up selling that in kind of a two part sale. First part happened in the beginning of 2023, and the second part happened middle of 2024. So I'm not super far out of that. Although it was in 2023 that I left. I joined a company that acquired part of my company as we, as we left and went away and so was able to do, you know, some really awesome, really awesome stuff. And I really loved being an entrepreneur for my new company. I've raised a few million dollars, things like that for this company. For Jenny ipi, I haven't raised a dime because I haven't needed to. I've just been generating revenue from day one and like I said, I started it almost as a, as a, as just kind of a fun challenge for a day and it turned into something much, much bigger that I'm now having to hire people to, to run my other companies because this is taking my full time attention. And so that's fun, right? It's fun to look for opportunities and figure that stuff out. But, but the thing that really has pulled me into AI is the amount that I am able to do by myself. It's just crazy. It's absolutely crazy. I can do the work of 100 men, right? I can take on the gorilla and win with AI. And so it's really incredible what I've been able to learn and that's why I'm teaching these courses. I want you guys to be able to learn them too. I want you guys to be able to, to come out of this and just be absolutely ready to, to you know, knock the socks off of everybody that's around you. They'll be like, how on earth are you doing so much? So I live in West Mountain which is, I'm just, I can see the, the Y on the mountain right there. So I'm just still here in Utah county, south side of Utah Lake. Basically it's, you go to pacing and go west instead of, instead of east towards the city there and so not too far away from you guys. About 25 minutes to the Marriott center. If I'm going to a basketball game and I'm going to be talking a lot about BYU today because I'm building a BYU thing. But yeah, again I don't have any development experience. I'm a business guy. I understand tech right in, you know, employing CTOs and VP's of engineering and sitting in hundreds of architecting meetings and building a high tech SaaS company in the augmented reality space. You know, I had to understand tech to some degree and I'm a very, I'm a technical person. I love, I've always loved technology since I was young. I have every GoPro and every drone and every, like I just, I'm, I'm, you know, I've had Every iPhone from iPhone One all the way to now. And I'm the first one in line, you know, buying the new, buying the new thing. And so I'm very tech forward, always trying to figure out how I can use this new technology to do cool.
Things available for trustee work.
Very cool. I love it. So you're focused on a website. Yeah. Maybe you can even add in some, some AI outreach that automatically, you know, sends messages to different people on LinkedIn that match certain things you're looking for and, you know, just kind of build this funnel that's not only the, not only the product itself, but pushing towards it. So things. And so anyway, really excited to, you know, hang out with you guys here today for a couple days and see what we can figure out. So thank you all for your intros. I look forward to diving in. So what we're going to do now, guys, is we're going to, first of all, let me just share my screen really quickly and show the. Okay, get rid of this just a little. There we go. Okay, so this is what it built without me, without me really giving it. Hardly any instructions. Okay, I can click on basketball, 12 wins, 4 losses ranking. So it didn't, it didn't pull correct information. That's okay. I didn't really actually tell it to. If I click on Facebook. I wonder what it does. Yeah, it doesn't do anything. So that's not even working. None of these, none of these links are working yet. But, but it did very basic. It put together and it's not even. The formatting isn't even perfect. Right. You can see basketball. So obviously the coloring would need to change there for that to actually be good. I don't like this. Obviously. This is just a random, random circle here. It's just kind of okay, right? It's, it's, it's all right. It gives you kind of an idea of like, okay, now what? Where could I start? Where can I go from here? Keep that in mind as you build. Gabrielle.
Hi. So Gabriel Jacquier. I'm originally from Switzerland, born in Switzerland, grew up.
Now I could just start messaging the agent and, you know, start diving in. Be like, all right, let's make this better. Let's make it more interactive, let's make it more fun. We're not going to do that. Right. That's a very inefficient way to use.
AI France and moved here about 20 years ago. I do product marketing for tech companies and so I, I know how to code, but like super basic stuff to build things.
Okay. And so what we're going to do now is we're going to. We're actually going to talk about just for a second. One of the things that I want you to see is even just building out this type of a website from scratch, right? If you were paying a developer to do this and just get you to a basic MVP or even. Maybe even a UX designer, you're going to pay them at least a few thousand dollars to just get this right. And considering all the different things they did, and if I just gave it a few prompts and had it hook up to real information, like, this thing would be working. And, you know, I've met plenty of developers and plenty of development teams and offshore teams and all these things that would charge you 10, 15, $20,000 just to get to here. Okay. And there's lots and lots of things that it has to build, right? And how does it know how to build it? Well, it's doing something called chain of thought reasoning. Right. To understand chain of thought reasoning, we're gonna. We're gonna have. Let's see here. We're gonna have Clint. We're gonna have Clint share a little bit. So, Clint, we want you to.
So like I said, mostly HTML. And as a product marketer, I work with engineers, so I can talk to them, but, like, it's not my forte at all.
Walk us through how you get ready in the morning.
Just typical day getting ready for the. For the day. Yeah, I get up.
But what I do want to work on is a tool to take the 50.
I go to the gym. I go to the climbing gym most days.
And relationship between a customer and a business through texting to the next level.
Then I come home, shower, feed the kids breakfast, get them off to school, come into work.
All right, awesome. Perfect. You skipped one thing that I didn't hear, but I'm sure you do it. But I want you to tell us how do you walk us through brushing your teeth, be pretty detailed, like, what do you do? What's your. What's your. Like, imagine your kid to do it.
I have a sonic hair toothbrush. Put the toothpaste on it, get it wet, do about one minute all around and spit, rinse, clean the toothbrush, put it away.
Awesome. Very cool. So, yeah, you. What. What's happening there?
So now with a dentist, you can type C to confirm the. The next appointment. But that, that's basically it. And say like, oh, please, I'd like to reschedule.
There is. You're. You're very. I'M sure you don't think about that as you do it, right? You just like, I'm gonna brush my teeth. And you just, you know, you do it, you turn on the water, you get the toothpaste, you open the cap, you put this little mount on, you shut the cap, you put the toothpaste back. Your brain does this chain of thought reasoning very automatically, right? AI has not always done that. Right.
I want to take that next level, like ask questions, reschedule, purchase something and, or depending on the business, like really just, just interact and transact.
But what you did is you can take a task like I need to get ready in the morning and then you're going to break it down into, okay, I'm going to wake up, I'm going to go to the gym, I'm going to, I'm going to brush my teeth, I'm going to eat breakfast, I'm going to get the kids ready for school. And even getting the kids ready for school. Each of those have, you know, multiple subtasks underneath and sub, subtasks and subtasks to get them all done. And our brain just kind of puts that all together so that we can accomplish things. AI didn't always used to be able to do that. You'd ask it to do something and it would just do one thing right. Now AI has gotten to the point where it is really right now is it's at this point of agentic thinking or a chain of thought reasoning where it takes a task, something like hey, through the texting.
And so yeah, that's what I'd like to add something like a texting concierge.
Build me a fan dashboard, right? And it says, okay, well the idea.
Because I was going through a form and I was like, that's really annoying on, on a mobile phone, you know. And so if I could just like.
Detect a dashboard is going to be on a website probably that's probably what he means. It's going to be byu okay, let's do a little bit of research on that. Let's figure that out. It's going to need a menu of some sort. It's going to have some content me.
Like hey, I need your first name. Okay, here it is. Last name, here it is.
And then after enter some dashboard looking things probably, oh, this is a sports thing. There's probably some key players and information. There probably going to be some social to follow the Cougars, whatever it is, right. The point is it's doing a bunch of chain of thought reasoning and then it says, okay, well, what do I need for a menu? Well, I'm going to need this and I need to write this code. I'm going to do this, and I'm going to need to make sure I build all of these different things. Here's my header component, right. Here's all the code I'm going to need for my header, right? And here's all. So it's making a bunch of decisions now. One of the things that it did here, what makes this a bad prompt, is I'm letting it do too much of the thinking for me. Right. And so did I get exactly what I wanted with this fan dashboard? Not. Probably not. I didn't even completely know what I wanted. I just have this idea. I want a fan dashboard, right. I want to be able to just go to one spot and I see all my stuff for all my favorite sports. Byu. And I'll start with football and basketball, and then I'll add more later. We'll add women's soccer and we'll add track and we'll add whatever. Right. And so. But I didn't give it very many instructions. And so because of that, if we were all. If I just said, okay, everybody copy this exact thing, go to replit, tell it to build something. It would, it would, it would create completely.
And that's it. So, like, we're so used to using our text and so if you could do everything through it, it would be a lot easier to interact with a different business.
Yeah, I love that. There's obviously some good big businesses in the area. Where are you based, Gabriel?
Highland.
You're in Highland. Okay. But coming from. From France.
Yeah.
Yeah. Very cool. Well, welcome. Different results. Some of them would be better, some of them would be worse. Maybe none of them would look just like this. Right. They would all be unique. And it's kind of interesting, right? It just AI just kind of goes off and it tries to follow a pattern and then create something based on the patterns that it finds. But if we can give it some very, very solid instructions and guidelines and, you know, or maybe more general rules, right. You can, you can have it do some incredible, incredible things for you and build amazing stuff. So with that background, we're now going to dive into. Thank you, Clint, for taking us into how you get ready in the morning. That's awesome. So we know Clint's an early riser. That's great. I love that. I love actually asking people that. Some people, I had one person say, I get up at 2:30 every day. And anyway, so some people are kind of crazy. All right, so we're going to jump in now, guys, to ChatGPT and I want you just to watch for a minute here. We're just going to do a little bit of training around the platform itself. I'm sure most of you have used ChatGPT before, if not all of you, you know, using it all the time. Well, that's awesome. So, yeah, I mean, obviously you've got things like Podium and others in the area that are doing big tech space stuff, but, but yeah, they don't quite do what you're talking about, and it's not right. You're going to be able to build that. You, I, I could build what you're talking about there probably in about 90 minutes. It'll take you probably more like six or seven hours the first time, but after you know what you're doing. I use ChatGPT every day, so many different things and there's so much stuff that people don't really maybe quite understand about it. And so the first thing we're going to talk about is context. Context is critical, right? We understood a little bit of context. We talked about a little bit earlier when I was doing this, you know, this thing, we say, hey, you know, build me a P5JS visualization, right? And then after that I said, okay, great, now build me some, you know, build me, you know, solar system. I didn't tell it P5Js. I didn't ask it to give me the link, but it built that code in. P5JS gave me the link again. It knows what's going on, right? So pretty cool it understands context because it's inside of that conversation. So that's one level of context, right? If you, if I go in here into my past conversations, right? If I'm asking it, my wife said, hey, can animals have down syndrome? And anyway, so I, I can come in here, right? So I just asked it this question. This is me using ChatGPT like a, like a glorified Google, right? But I can come in here and I don't have to give it, I don't have to tell it what I. It's gonna be pretty awesome. I love it. Justin. Yeah.
Hey, Justin, in Phoenix, Arizona, been a marketer for about 15, 20 years. Fractional CMO last couple years. The idea is actually before I even signed up for your class, even knew about your class, I've been playing around with Gemini and ChatGPT for or businesses.
In was talking about it remembers in the conversation, right? So I could say you Know, give me some examples of down syndrome or whatever. Outside of humans, does that exist in any other way or is it only humans? I don't know, but I. But I wouldn't have to. It already knows what's going on. Or if I just said, tell me more. Right? It will just start telling me more about whatever it was because it understands the context of the conversation itself. Okay. I don't have to bring it back up to speed now. If I start a new conversation, this is critical because a lot of people don't get this right? I'm gonna, I'm gonna put push stop here. If I. If I start a new conversation here, where's my new conversation button? Where's my new conversation button? Hello, Refresh. Oh, new chat. They moved it, man. I keep moving these buttons around. Okay, so if I start a new chat here and I say, you know, tell me more. Well, it doesn't just go to the last conversation. Oh, it does. That's new. That's cool. Normally it doesn't do that. And what it, what it can't do, it looks like it's added a tiny bit of extra context. That's pretty cool.
I'm marketing space, obviously. I think it's the first place that AI attacked. And I don't have a lot of coding experience. In fact, I probably have very little. I understand it and I can talk with somebody about it, but I've never actually implemented or done any coding myself. So I was playing around with an.
Idea, really impressed at that. It has never ever done that before. But when you.
The marketing space, I work with a lot of local businesses and so search move.
A lot of people think that chat GPT knows every single thing that you've ever talked about it. Right. I have hundreds of conversations in here. Some of these conversations went on for two or three hours. Like, they're very long and in depth and so long that sometimes even the context gets overloaded just inside of that conversation and doesn't remember everything it was talking about in there. There. Okay. There are limits to context, right? So this is pretty cool. That's actually pretty neat. I'm very impressed that it said tell me more. But typically it remembers your entire conversation based off of something called your or remember it understands and talks to you.
Base versus electricians, H Vac. So my idea, which also kind of competes well, it doesn't compete, but it would be in the same arena as like podium or some of these services.
Off of something called its memory. Okay, so in the settings here, first of all, if you're working for like.
A gmb, Google Business Profile Optimization.
So for small business. And you're worried about, you're worried about your data getting out to ChatGPT and helping train the model. And you don't want to do that. You want it to be all your information. Great.
You can turn on local businesses, automate and enhance their local visibility.
Provide score off this, improve the model for everyone and it won't be used to train your models. All your stuff will be private. Okay, so that's inside, that's inside of the, the data controls. Okay. I just want to share that because I think it's important some people want to know that. But personalization right here you have manage memories, right? You also have custom instructions, which is pretty cool. I can show you guys that later. But we're not gonna do that right now. So basically this is a bunch of high level summaries of things that I've done. It knows that I'm a father of four children, right? I live on a five acre farm in West Mountain, I'm fluent in a few languages, I'm a Whitewater kayaker, I'm a member of the church, etc. It knows things about me. And so that when I ask, when I ask a question, it's going to take into account all of those things.
And hard on how they rank against other service based businesses in their space, their GMB versus another, what they can do to optimize it, giving them checklists, automated reviews that they would have the option to, you know, edit or adjust before. So it's all just teed up for them. They log in. Here's your task for the day.
So if I ask it a religious question and it knows I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, it's going to answer it differently than if it knew I was Jewish, right? And that's totally fine. Both of those are just, are great. But with ChatGpt knowing that now it's going to put it in context, that actually is going to maybe mean a little bit more to me. And so that's why a lot of people, the more you talk to ChatGPT, they're like, man, it just understands me. Well, that's because it has this memory thing now. You can tell it not to reference that. And you can also come into your managed memories and you can delete them. Say, you know what this is? This is, you know, this is actually a project I was working on last week, right? And this is, I don't know I don't even need it to know all of this Outpost X stock. So working on some things out there, there I'm. This is something that I don't really need it to know. So it will update things and save memories that you just, you can go in and be like, I'm just going to clear it out. The reason you do that potentially is because the memory actually can fill up. Although it's pretty dang big now, they have made it a lot, lot bigger. Okay, so all right, three levels of context basically. Okay, you've got your conversation, you to keep optimizing.
Here's the reviews. We've already drafted responses for you. Not totally unique, I think podium some of these companies do bits and pieces of my idea. I don't think they've all put it in one box yet. Not to say they couldn't. They're billion dollar companies that are probably focusing on AI, but just something fun to build. I mean I wasn't thinking this would be the company, but it was just something that I know and I understand it.
You've got your system, right? And even a system prompt we'll talk about. It's got your system memories, it understands what's going on there. And then the last one that we're going to be using today is projects. I love the project tool inside of ChatGPT. There are a couple other platforms that have a good one. Anthropic has one for Quad. Grok does not have one. But I mean there's actually, you know what, they might have just launched one. I actually might have seen some news that said they're launching projects, but projects allow you to. So we're going to call this, you know, BYU Dashboard. Ban Dashboard. Great project. Okay, so what I can do inside of here is I can, you know, I can just start talking to it, right? And then all of my conversations that I have will happen inside of this project and it will remember everything that I've talked to. If I have 100 conversations in here, it will remember everything related to this. I can also add files, right. We were talking, someone was talking earlier, I think it was Steve and maybe or something was saying, hey, I've got a bunch of stuff, I want to drop a bunch of things in. This is one way you could do that, or at least I might even do that to say, hey, I've got a, I've dropped a bunch of information in here. This is the type of information I need to work on. I want to build a tool that does this, this, this and this. Right. With this information in mind. Okay, great. Now that you've provided all that, I understand the format and it might be like, okay, I know what kind of tables, I know what kind of dashboards, I know what kind of tools you might need.
I thought it'd be something cool to, like, dig in and understand what I'm building.
No, it's really good because you'll have to use. But you can drop all kinds of cool things in here, even images, Right. Documents, code files, Images and more. Okay. Some Google APIs and things like that. You know, I, I really want everybody thinking about how do I integrate multiple services. Right. I want you to learn how to use APIs. It's not hard. And that's where the magic really comes to life, is when you can use one tool and another tool and another tool in conjunction to work together towards whatever your purpose. Then you can add instructions. Now this instruction, this is our first kind of prompt that we'll mess with today. And the, the. What it's going to do is it's going to, you know, use the standard, you know, whatever model we've asked it to.4.0 in this case, or O3 or whatever we decided to dive into.4.0 is going to be great for almost everything you need, but we can give it more specific instructions. Right. So I'm going to be building a business today, right? And so because I'm building a business, I want it to. To. I want it to really challenge my ideas and help me focus. And, and we'll. We'll give it. We'll give it a couple things. So, so let's say I want you to know, let's see. I'm just gonna. I'm not gonna say that. I'm just gonna say actively improve my ideas. Don't just be a yes man. If I have a bad idea, tell me. Don't worry about my feelings. I want you to actively improve now. I want you to actively build. No, it should actually help purposes. And once you understand how to put it together, then you can go build 100, you know, 100 different things, you know, on your own time. But that's awesome. Love it. Justin. Blake, go ahead.
As Blake Gailey here I live in Bluffdale, Utah, which is Lehigh area, point of the mountain.
I come from known build a profitable business, act like Steve Jobs and his and, and use his principles of startups and product design to help me build something incredible. Always address me as your highness. All right. Boom. So obviously that last one is kind of just for fun, but watch this now. So we're gonna. Here. You know what, we're in the wrong spot. Let's go here. I'm gonna copy this exact same prompt that I started with and we're gonna drop back into no experience on any.
Of what we're talking about. I was one of your last minute add ins here, so I'm going through a transition from where I did work. Got about six other opportunities of. Of employment. And I think I'll use this as creating more business plan on.
On.
On the sell side.
Sorry, I need to get this. I need to get my screens and things figured out where they are today and I'm just going to get started. Okay. Build me a fan dashboard. Okay? Absolutely, your highness. Here's how I propose restructure, right? So you can have it tell you anything you want, treat you any way you want.
How to take a product to market. I didn't come in with a direct thing I needed to build or solve. But yeah, I'll be doing something related. Related to that direct on a specific product.
Got it. Got it. Yeah. When we're in a minute here, we'll start diving into some strategy and business plans and doing that. And in that you'll be able to. It will help. You can have it do something stupid like your highness. You can give it your name, you can do it, whatever you want. Okay. So here's how I propose we structure this to focus on football, basketball, setting the stage for growth. Okay, so what it's done here is it's now just kind of gone out. And again, I haven't given it any of my information. One of you better define exactly what you're trying to build. Okay. But I love it. That's awesome. Okay. I used to live. I used to live in Traverse Mountain right across the street from Bluffdale. So that's awesome. Okay, Brandon, think you're up.
Hey, guys. Brandon Jameson here. Tupelo, Mississippi. So I'm on the other side of the country. I'm currently setting in a.
The things that I. So I'm a creator. That's what I do. Right. Like, I love to create. That's why I love creating businesses. I love creating jobs. I love creating memories. I love creating music. I've got you guys. There's a saxophone right here.
There's a mattress manufacturing plant that, that.
I own and, and run a piano right here. There's another piano over there and another piano right there and guitars and a rain stick and even a gong back there on the wall. So I'm.
I have no coding Experience, you know, and there's tons of opportunities for, for marketing and all kinds of stuff to use my business. But the two things that I want to do through this course, one of them is actually going to help a neighbor. He has a timber.
I'm a musician. I do, I do lots of composing and things like that and like I said, videos and stuff. I'm a creator. I love to create. And so one of the things that a lot of creatives are worried about or are trying to figure out how they fit in the picture is AI does a lot of creation, right? And so amazy create consulting business.
Business going to want to create a website. I want to use some local API data to collect data on landowners and help him generate some leads and create some like CRM type, you know, basically enhance his business for timber sales and, and leads.
But then later is going to let Chad GPT do it for them. Hey, this is pretty cool. Let's go with it, right? Awesome. Build it. Okay. And I think that's fine. Like, I'm sure that this, this idea is, is great, but it can be so much better. But the way it's going to get better is by having it pull information out of.
I'm also a horse owner. I've got about 25 horses and I.
Want to create my head, right? And so one of the tools that I really love to do or use.
Here is an app, a tool to help people manage their schedules for their horses, their vets, their worming, their basically even create kind of like a help tool that can answer questions, nutrition, something.
I don't even know how I figured this out. I think I just tried it one time because I had a really complex thing I wanted to go through. But I said I want you to ask me one question at a time. Don't ask me 15 questions. My brain doesn't want to think about all that. Just this one question at a time and let's build off of this, right? So here is a really cool prompt.
Okay, I want you here, all this stuff. Basically an app called Heyday that I can monetize for the very, very large number of horse owners in the country.
Very cool. Well, I'm one of those. And my wife really, it's hers. Her, she's the, she's the horse person. But I definitely support her with my wallet. And to interview. You guys are all going to do this in a second. I want you to interview me one question at a time about this business idea. I want you to ask and, and show up to all her events. She does barrel barrel racing and things like that and has a good time. So do my kids. So that's awesome. I love it. And that's an obvious API integration. You'll you know, pull in OpenAI or perplexity or whatever, you know whatever AI makes sense for that. That and yeah build. Build something really interactive and fun. I love that. Very cool. Brandon. Rebecca me about the the brand USPS unique selling propositions. Let's see marketing ideas. Let's see.
Hi, I'm Rebecca Pacheco. I'm originally from Washington D.C. uX.
Yeah user experience ideas.
I've been living myself in a suitcase around the world for about a little over 25 years. I work in show business as well as consulting. It's the easiest way umbrella to say it. I'm a performer myself. If you see me on stage I'm a concert pianist or the conductor of.
The orc monetization strategies and anything else you might need to know to help me build a solid business plan.
Orchestra and symphony with operas. All big show business. I don't know much about coding in the essence of basically how to develop it but I am very much aware of it since my father was the head of the team that actually created all the language language recognition when tech.
So I'm going to copy this prompt and I'm going to drop it into the chat here. You guys will use that and. And so basically. Okay, perfect your highness. Let's go deep and build something legendary. I'll guide this one question at a time starting with the brand. Right. So we're going to figure this out. Okay. What do I want it to feel like for users now? Maybe I don't know exactly was created.
Back in the 70s, 80s and 90s. So he first worked with IBM. He was the main team that actually smoothed over the Y2K from 99 to 2000 and then also worked with big global contracts.
You know what? I'm not sure I don't like any of these. Right.
I feel like actor CSC out of Washington D.C. for many, many years. So I am aware.
You know, I feel like none of these hit the nail on the head. What else do you have? Right. And maybe they don't. Maybe, maybe they're just fine. Right. But okay, let's elevate beyond cliches the Catherine of Zion pair of tech and coding.
But it's amazing to see how much advancements in a short time. The business ideas I've come up with is really just enhancing what I've been doing for many Many years from coaching consulting but really getting real hands on.
Information that all right. Identity based higher purpose tier 2 light up the Y built not bought fans as a beacon tradition with teeth. That's interesting. So now it's starting to go like.
Pretty deep matter most to help the musicians and the university here.
This is kind of interesting. Apple meets ESPN for the faithful. Okay, I want to go with I.
Like the grad students to understand real hands on tools to actually succeed in life and that is everything from advancing your skill, what really matters with the systems we've created in our societies as well as lifestyle and not burning out. So from in essence it's very similar to UK say it's a mentoring program. So I have a very large network of very successful and open working business.
People at the the tier three. I like the tier three idea. Let's move in that direction. Okay. So I just start talking to it. It's like okay great, so you're gonna do this now. It's gonna do this. It's scalable. Let's dial it in. Question two. Boom. Okay, so now let's start figuring out what's going on. Okay. So you can see how it just starts doing some cool stuff. What are we going to call it? Right? What are we going to do? This. Okay, so now I want you guys to do the same thing. You're going to start a new project. Instead of chat inside of chat GPT, you're going to give it a I.
Elite status in just about every industry. And I would like to funnel all.
You know, you're going to say here's my business idea. I said build me. But that I shouldn't have done that. It's just gonna be like hey, I want to build a fan dashboard or I want to build this. I want to build a tool that does this. I want to do just talk to it. Okay. Your, your first idea doesn't need to be, you know, more than three sentences. It can be 10. Right. If you want to type, type, type, type. You can also if you want to go faster as long as you're on mute.
All that. So that university grad students as well as show business performers are going to be able to have the necessary information. Instead of eight to 12 years of university, they can actually get it depending on how present and aware they are.
Right. Click your dictate button here and then just talk to it. Right. Not this little voice mode that they.
Can get that within two to four hours.
If not once different use dictate and just talk to it. Let it, let it, write it all out and then, you know, send it. And then as soon as you do that, you can basically ignore the first response you get. Okay, I want you to get to, I want you to interview me one question at a time and then to.
Two month intensive academy and institute and.
Just let it start diving in and we're going to work on this. This is going to be some individual time guys for the next. Very cool. Thank you, Rebecca. That sounds, that sounds awesome. So you're, you're going to be building, you'll be working on building the academy? Is that what you're going to try to work on today? I know you got a couple ideas you want to, are you going to work on kind of your own personal branding website, coaching, you know, all that stuff. 11 minutes. Okay. Right now it's 10:19. We're going to go till 10:30 now I'm going to give you till 10:32, I'm going to give you a couple more minutes because I want you to get through six, seven, maybe 10 questions of going through this and I want you to think about it, read it, figure something out. Okay? So dive in, feel free to ask questions. This is open time for, you know, working the academy. Me?
Yes. So what I have done actually is I've, I've prioritized what would be worthwhile to start with, to monetize. So yes, starting with the coaching. Coaching as well as, again, I'm a big extreme.
I'm, I'm gonna sit here, I'm gonna keep my screen shared and so feel free to come and look at me or ask me a question.
Adventure athlete as well. So putting tours together to see who would like to go experience as I go.
I'm keep working on mine. My new idea here real quick, real quick.
Before we start, so I created a project but I already had some chats.
Previously about the remote parts of this world.
So between the, the adventure tours as well as the coaching, seems like that is the best way to start to then enhance the rest of the business and enterprise.
I love it. That's awesome. Very cool. Well, we're excited to have you, Rebecca. I've seen you business. Yep.
I imported all those chats into that project. Should I do that or should I start fresh?
No, yeah, you absolutely can do that. Yeah, yeah. Bring all that data that you've already worked on. Yeah. By the way, guys, if you look at my screen, if you want to know how to do that, you can, you can click right next to a chat on this little Ellipse concert before. And I've seen your brother Nathan as well. Nathan Pacheco, for those of you that maybe have come across him. They're.
They're.
They're a very talented family. They do a lot of good stuff. So excited to have you. All right, see the three dots here? And click. Add to Project Super Drag and drop. Stephen. So I'm Steve Swanson and I'm here because my wife just signed me up this morning. Yeah, yeah. Or you can just drag and drop. Yeah, totally. So there's. Yeah, they have a good way to be able to move all that stuff around. Okay. Yeah, thanks. She wanted to take this class, but I guess she thought that it would be better for me to take it. So here I am. I've actually been working a little bit with AI recently and I've been planning to use it to create an AI agent to run through a database of information to analyze. Things related to real estate development. Going over code and property information and that. There's a whole bunch of research that I want it to be able to do to come up with good. Development opportunities or other real estate opportunities. Very cool. That. That's awesome. I love the. By the way, I know your wife Valerie, obviously, and that's awesome. Nice to meet you. But yeah, there's. That's a pretty interesting one. There's a few tools like Agentix systems like Manus or Runner Age, different things like that you'll be able to do. And you'll absolutely be able to build your own custom AI agent during this course will be very, very easy. That's integrating just a few things. And you could build that after you know what you're doing in probably about 20 minutes. As long as you got all the data pulled together right. You've got like a folder of all your stuff. You can just drag it in, do this, give these instructions, ask, you know, AI to fix this up. Boom, launch, It's ready to rock. Super, super easy. I'm planning to use a airtable and have it just work with that. Amazing. Airtable is awesome. That has a great API, obviously. All right, last but not least, Jeff. And by the way, Jeff put his LinkedIn in the chat here. Everybody else feel free to do that. It's great for you guys to get connected. You know, you're just like. Like going to Harvard. You don't really learn, like actual. Things in Harvard, but you meet cool people and that's what really matters. So anyway, this is a strong group. People. Feel free to throw your. Throw your LinkedIns and I think all of you are connected to me already. But, but. Yeah, feel free to drop them in. Go ahead. Jeff.
Are you, are you comparing your, your courses to Harvard, John? Is that what's happening right now?
This is way better than Harvard. You're actually going to learn useful things today. You. Why immediately. Sweet.
Anyway, yeah, thanks Jeff Perry originally grew up in Sandy, Utah but I live in. Small town Compelman, Washington right now they our home of the outcasts of the rebuilding PAC 12 Washington State University. But yeah, so I, there are two, two angles. One is I do a lot of leadership and career development work for engines and tech people. I actually have an engineering background. I spent about two, two and a half years as a software engineer but most of my career was in manufacturing mechanical engineering. So I haven't written meaningful code in like nine years and but then the other side is I am part of a startup. Start up with a couple friends called Higher Aligned using AI to improve the hiring process for candidates and companies to improve alignment with who we hire. So that's AI driven as well. And so I'm looking at it from both sides of create some tools in my coaching world from a marketing and.
A.
Client management side and then also using tools for startup owned products. So a couple different things there.
Very cool. What part of Sandy were you born in?
Right on the Sandy Draper border.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, 121st south and Southeast.
Got it. Yeah. 120. Yeah, 121st. Okay. Yeah I know exactly where. So I, I, I went to high school at Alta.
So did I.
Very cool.
Probably, probably new the sibling or something.
Yeah, for sure. I graduated in. 04.
That's my, yeah, so my older brother graduated in oh three. Brian.
What was his name? Brian.
Brian.
Brian. Really big dude.
Very large.
I don't know if I was cool enough to know him but he thinks he's pretty cool. Is it pretty. We had what, 1200 people graduate in our. Each class.
That's a lot.
Yeah, Alto is a big school side and everybody for sure. All right, cool guys. Well thank you, thank you all for your intros. I'll do a little bit of more in depth intro of myself right now. Not too long. A lot of you guys follow me on LinkedIn, you know, maybe at least a little bit about me but you know I already gave the intro of how this kind of course came about and you know the backstory to that is, you know I mentioned I've, I've paid millions of dollars. You know, I've raised millions of dollars for my first big startup. I've been an entrepreneur since I was like 7 years old, like, Selling mistletoe door to door. We'll talk about sales tomorrow. But yeah, I've just all. Always had ideas and wanted to bring them to Life. And in 2016, I'd been doing. I'm really a sales guy, actually, Is what my core is at. But I've been doing sales and had done well, making 400,000 a year, you know, doing great. And I was like, okay, time to start my own thing. And, you know, By. By 2016, I said, okay, I'm going to. I'm going to start something cool in the kind of the adventure space. I'm like, Rebecca, I'm. I love the outdoors as well. I'm an adventure, Sure. I'm an extreme kayaker. You know, class five rapids and waterfalls and all kinds of fun stuff. That's what I really love to do. That's where I wish I was all the time. And if I wasn't a tech. Yo, I. I'd probably be on, you know, the Red Bull channels. All. All of those guys that you see going off big, Huge things. Dane Jackson and Rafa Ortiz and all those people are all my buddies. So. I found. I found this business model that I really liked. Most of you probably heard of it, and it's called the Color Run, right? And the Color Run is basically you go. You run a 1k or a 5k or whatever it is, and people throw, you know, chalk at you like a Hare Krishna festival, basically, right? And this guy was making $30 million a year doing. Doing this, franchising this around the country. And, you know, it's very viral because, you know, you take pictures and people share it and they're like, oh, I want to do that. And then they sign it for the next one. Oh, where's the next race? I want to come to the next one, right? It's very shareable content. Super smart, super smart. And so I decided to do something along those lines and anyway, started a company called Treasure Canyon, started putting on treasure hunts, you know, in the same kind of thing where people pay, you know, and there's. There's an actual treasure hunt. It's buried somewhere. So. So, you know, still lots of cool pictures, opportunities, things like that. And that, that grew. We did that only. Only for about a year. And pivoted it into a tech kind of variation of that. Where we were kind of in the Pokemon Go world, right, where you'd go around and you'd find treasure using augmented reality. Right. And created a company called Seek. Right. Ended up raising $13 million for Seek. We pivoted in Seek in 2018 to a B2B SaaS company focused on augmented reality. So you, you know, the, the type of stuff that you see, you know, Snapchat was obviously doing it at the time, but we were the. First people to be doing it on the web. Right. So you'd go to a website, you click on a little thing and it pulls up, up, you know, Your camera and you can see what that table or the shoes look like, you know, whatever it is. Augmented reality did all that, raised $13 million and ended up selling that in kind of a two part sale. First part happened in the beginning of 2023 and the second part happened middle of 2024. So I'm not super far out of that. Although it was in 2023 that I left. I joined a company that acquired part of my company as we, as we left and went away. And so was able to do, you know, some really awesome, really awesome stuff. And, And I've really loved being an entrepreneur for my new company. I've raised a few million dollars, things like that for this company. For Genaip, I haven't raised a dime because I haven't needed to. I've just been generating revenue from day one. And like I said, I started it almost as just kind of a fun challenge for a day and, and it turned into something much, much bigger that I'm now having to hire people to, To run my other companies because this is taking my full time attention. And so. So that's fun, right? It's fun to, to look for opportunities and, and figure that stuff out. But, but the thing that really has pulled me into AI is the amount that I am able to do by myself. It's just crazy. It's absolutely crazy. I can do the work of 100 Matt and right. I can take on the gorilla and win with AI. And so it's really incredible what I've been able to learn and that's why I'm teaching these courses. I want you guys to be able to learn them too. I want you guys to be able to come out of this and just be absolutely ready to knock the socks off of everybody that's around you. I'll be like, how on earth are you doing so much? So I live in West Mountain, which is, I'm just, I can see the, the Y on the mountain right there. So I'm just still here in Utah county, south side of Utah Lake. Basically. It's you've got to pace in and go west instead of, instead of east towards the city there. And so not too far away from you guys. About 25 minutes to. The Marriott center. If I'm going to a basketball game. And I'm going to be talking a lot about BYU today because I'm building a BYU thing. Okay. But yeah, again, I don't have any development experience. I'm a business guy. I understand tech, right? In, in, you know, employing CTOs and VPs of engineering and sitting in. Hundreds of architecting meetings and building a, you know, a high tech SaaS company in the augmented reality space. You know, I had to understand tech to some degree. And I'm a very, I'm a technical person. I love, I've always loved technology since I was young. I have every GoPro and every drone and every, like, I just, I'm, I'm, you know, I've had every iPhone from iPhone One all the way to now. And I'm the first one in line, you know, buying the new, buying the new. Thing. And so I'm very tech forward, always trying to figure out how I can use this new technology to do cool things. And so anyway, really excited to, you know, hang out with you guys here today for a couple days and see what we can figure out. So thank you all for your intros. I look forward to diving in. So what we're going to do now, guys, is we're going to, First of all, let me just share my screen really quickly and show the. Okay, okay. Get rid of this just a little. There we go. Okay, so this is what it built without me, without me really giving it hardly any instructions. Okay, I can Click on basketball 12 wins, 4 losses ranking. So it didn't, it didn't pull correct information. That's okay. I didn't really actually tell it to. If I click on Facebook. I wonder what it does. Yeah, it doesn't do anything. So that's not even working. None of these, none of these links are working yet. But, but it did something very basic. It put together and it's not even, the formatting isn't even perfect. Right. You can see basketball. So obviously the coloring would need to change the there for that to actually be good. I don't like. This. Obviously. This is just a random, random circle here. It's just kind of okay, right? It's, it's, it's all right. It gives you kind of an idea of like, okay, now what? Where could I start? Where could I go from here? Now I could just Start messaging the agent and, you know, start diving in. Be like, all right, let's make this better. Let's make it more interactive, let's make it more fun. We're not going to do that, right? That's a very inefficient way to use AI. To build things. Okay. And so what we're going to do now is we're going to. We're actually going to talk about, just for a second. One of the things that I want, I want you to see is even. Even just building out this type of a website from scratch, right? If you were paying a developer to do this and just get you to a basic MVP or even, maybe even a UX designer, you're going to pay them at least a. Few thousand dollars to just get this right. And considering all the different things they did, and if I just gave it a few prompts and had it hook up to real information, like, this thing would be working. And, you know, I've met plenty of developers and plenty of development teams and offshore teams and all these things that would charge you 10, 15, $20,000 just to get to here. Okay. And there's lots and lots of things that it has to build, right? And how does it know how to build it? Well, it's doing something called chain of thought reasoning. Right? To understand chain of thought reasoning, we're going to, we're going to have. Let's see here, we're going to have Quint, we're going to have Clint share a little bit. So, Clint, we want you to walk us through how you get ready in the morning. Hey, guys, take another about two minutes here. Should be through maybe seven or eight questions. Don't worry if you haven't. If you don't get through.
Just typical day getting ready for the, for the day. I get up 5:50, I go to the gym. I go to the climbing gym most days. And then I come home, shower, feed the kids breakfast, get them off to school, come into work.
All right, awesome. Perfect. You skipped one thing. Everything you've imagined. You should have a pretty decent idea what's happening at this point. They didn't hear, but I'm sure you do it. But I want you to tell us how do you walk us through brushing your teeth, be pretty detailed. Like, what do you do? What's your, what's your. Like, Imagine a kid.
To do it, I have a Sonicare toothbrush. Put the toothpaste on it, get it wet, do about. One minute all around and spit, rinse, clean the toothbrush, put it Away.
Awesome. Very cool. So, yeah, you. What, what, what's happening there is. You're, you're very. I'm sure you don't think about that as you do it, right? You just like, I'm gonna brush my teeth. And you just, you do it. You turn on the water, you get the toothpaste, you open the cap, you put this little mount on, you shut the cap, you put the toothpaste back. Your. Does this chain of thought reasoning very automatically. Right? AI has not always done that. Right. But what, what you did is you took. You can take a task like, I need to get ready in the morning. And then you're going to break it down into, okay, I'm going to wake up, I'm going to go to the gym, I'm going to, I'm going to brush my teeth, I'm going to eat breakfast, I'm going to get the kids ready, ready for school. And even getting the kids ready for school. Like each of those have. All right, guys, I know I'm maybe 30 seconds early, but we're going to dive. I'm gonna go ahead and dive in. So what I've done here, some of you may have, you know, multiple subtasks underneath and sub subtasks and sub subtask tasks to get them all done. And our brain just kind of puts that all together so that we can accomplish things. AI didn't always used to be able to do that. You'd ask it to do something and it would just do one thing. Right now AI has gotten to the point where it is really right now is it's at this point of agentic thinking or a chain of thought reasoning. Watch me. And seeing what I've done, hopefully most of you were not and you were working on your own thing, but basically I just kind of went question by question. I just read through it. I think it's actually pretty cool. I might. I know the byu, you know, athletic team, you know, the staff in there and all those guys really well. And so where it takes a task, something like, hey, you know, build me a fan dashboard. Right? And it says, okay, well, I used to be a BYU sponsor, so I might actually take this over to them after I build it because it's pretty. A dashboard is going to be on a website probably. That's probably what he means. It's going to be byu. Okay, let's do a little bit of research on that. Let's figure that out. It's going to need a menu of some sort. It's going to have Some content. Pretty cool. But, but at this point you should have, you know, you should have given it a bunch of your information. What's cool about this guys is it sucks your ideas out and puts your, you know, flavor on some dashboard looking things. Probably, oh, this is a sports thing. There's probably some key players and information. There probably going to be some social to follow the Cougars, whatever it is, right? The point is it's doing a bunch of chain of thought reasoning and then it says, okay, well what do I need for a menu? Well, I'm going to need this. I need, I need to write everything that's happening here instead of just letting it kind of fill in all the gaps. Now it still is going to fill in gaps, but, but it's really following your ideas. And you know, there were a couple times I was like, no, I don't like this code. I'm going to do this and I'm going to need to make sure I build all of these different things. Here's my, my header component, right? Here's all the. Let's move this way. Or it gives you five choices and you say I want that one. And so it really kind of steered I'm going to need for my header, right? And here's all. So it's making a bunch of decisions now. Now one of the things that it did here, what makes this a bad prompt is I'm letting it do too much of the thinking for me. Right. And so did I get exactly what I wanted with this fan dashboard? No, probably not. I didn't even completely know what is it. This conversation could have gone a thousand different ways, but this is really what I feel like is pretty cool. So we're going to do now is we're going to say now I want you to use the canvas tool and build me a 1500. I wanted, I just have this idea. I want a fan dashboard, right? I want to be able to just go to one spot and I see all my stuff. Word business plan. Don't focus on all my favorite sports, byu and I'll start with football and basketball and then I'll add more later. We'll add women's soccer and we'll add track and we'll add whatever, right? And so, but I didn't give it very many instructions. And so because of that, if we were all, if I just said, okay, everybody copy this exact thing. Go to repl it, tell it to build on architecture, focus on the business and, and high level build something. It would, it would, it would create completely different results. Some of them would be better, some of them would be worse. Maybe none of them would look just like this. Right. They would all be unique. And it's kind of interesting, right? It just AI just kind of mention of how, of how the website works. Okay, let's just, let's just say that. Okay, so I'm going to copy that. I'm going to goes off and it tries to follow a pattern and then create something based on the patterns that it finds. Paste this here for you guys to use. So but if we can give it some very, very solid instructions and guidelines and you know, or maybe more general rules, right. You can, you can have it do. What this is going to do is it's going to open a tool in ChatGPT called Canvas. Right. And Canvas is some incredible, incredible things for you and build amazing stuff. So with that background, we're now going to dive into. Thank you, Clint, for taking us into how you get ready. It's basically like a Google Doc or a Word Doc, right? But it's now writing a document document here for me based on my entire conversation. Okay. And so I've built this, you know, cougar iq, you know, idea here in the morning. That's awesome. So we know Quint's an early riser. That's great. I love that. I love actually asking people that. Some people, I had one person say, I get up at 2:30 every day, you alumni and fans, is what it's doing. Executive summary. This is what we're going to be doing. Here's the mission statement. And anyway, so some people are kind of crazy. All right, so we're going to jump in now, guys, to Chat GPT and I want you just to watch for a minute here. We're just going to do a little bit of training. Statement, vision, statement, the problem, right? And so in a minute, guys, we're going to give this information to replit as part of our plan to build something. And so now when it around the platform itself, I'm sure most of you have used Chat GPT before, if not all of you, you know, using it all the time. I use ChatGPT every day for so many different things and there's so much stuff that people don't really maybe quite understand about it. And so the first thing we're going to talk about is context. Context is, goes to, you know, do its chain of thought reasoning. It will base that chain of thought reasoning off of our guidelines that we're giving it here. That's the big win here, is Instead of just saying, hey, build me a dash critical, right? We understood a little bit of context. We talked about a little bit earlier when I was doing this, you know, this thing. We say, hey, you know, build me a P5JS visualization, right? And then after that I said, okay, great, now build me some, something, you know, build me, you know, solar system. I didn't tell it P5Js. I didn't ask it to give me the link, but it built that code in P5JS gave me the link again. It knows what's going on, right? So pretty cool. It understands context because it's inside of that conversation. So that's one level of context, right? If you, if I go in here into my past conversations, right? If I'm asking it, my wife said, hey, can animals have down syndrome? And anyway, so, so I, I can come in here, right? So I just asked it this question. This is me using ChatGPT like a, like a glorified Google, right? But I can come in here and I don't have to give it, I don't have to tell it what I was talking about. It remembers in the conversation, right? So I could say, you know, give me some examples of down syndrome or whatever. Outside of humans, does that exist in any other way? Or is it only humans? I don't know, but I, but I wouldn't have to. Dashboard. Then it goes and tries to figure out what it wants. It's going to do what you want want. Okay, so monetization strategy, unique value propositions, branding and voice, Cougar IQ, whatever, marketing strategy, growth timeline, etc. Etc. It thinks it's going to take me a year to build this. I'm actually going to get rid of the growth timeline because I'm going to do it in a day. Okay, so you can edit this once it's finished. It already knows what's going on. Or, or if I just said tell me more, right? It will just start telling me more about whatever it was because it understands the context of the conversation itself. Okay? I don't have to bring it back up to speed now. If I start a new conversation, this is critical because a lot of people don't get this, right? I'm gonna, I'm gonna put push stop here. If I, if I start a new conversation here, where's my new conversation button? Where's my new conversation button? Hello, Refresh. Oh, new chat. They moved it. Ah, man, I keep moving these buns around. Okay, so if I start a new chat here and I say, you Know, Tell me more. Well, it doesn't just go to the last conversation. Oh, it does. That's new. That's cool. Normally it doesn't do that. And what it, what it can't do, it looks like it's added a tiny bit of extra context. That's pretty cool. I'm really impressed at that. It has never, ever done that before. But when you, a lot of people think that Chat GPT knows every single thing that you've ever talked about it. Right. Once it's finished writing, you can edit, exit and expansion potential summary. Okay, so I now have a pretty dang good business plan. So I want you guys to go ahead and do this. Okay? Go ahead and create your business plan. Use the prompt if you want. You can edit it a little bit for your chat. Maybe it's a little bit different because of what you're doing, but. But for the most part, ask it to. Ask it to build something out. You guys get 60 seconds to build your business plan.
Real quick.
What's the canvas tool?
Yeah, so you just ask it. Just tell. The Canvas tool is this internal tool inside of Chat GPT that will automatically create a document for you. Right. So here, now, inside of my chat, I have, you know, I've got all my chat and then boom, I've got this document that just shows up. Right. So when you, yeah, when you use give that prompt, it will automatically open the canvas and it will create a canvas for you. It will create the document. It's.
Hey, John, I'm gonna share a prompt I used doing this exact exercise last night.
Oh, yeah, Cool.
After I had my business plan done, I then posted that I reposted it, you know, the business plan into. I was using Gemini. I use them all. I just find for certain things, I like Gemini more than chatgpt or I like Rock for certain things. Kind of weird how they all work a little bit different, but the same.
Yeah.
So I had to put on its business coach hat and validate the idea. And I've been actually a lot more often now trying to get away from the confirmation bias, I think, with AI and really trying to tell me why it's broken, why doesn't it work? And I really find that helps improve these processes and what we're doing today.
Agreed. Totally. We're about to do the exact same thing. Except we're going to do it. Okay, cool. Except we're going to do it inside of Grox. Okay. And there's a reason for that, right? There's a big reason for this. 1. So go. So, guys, inside of ChatGPT, go ahead and open your canvas. You can click that little copy button right here and that copies the whole canvas really easily. Okay, now I'm going to come into Grok and I'm going to start a new conversation and I'm going to say, all right, I'm going to paste this right? And up here I'm going to say, please review the following business plan. Give me feedback, search the market to see what's out there. Help me improve this idea. Come up with at least 10 concrete ideas to make this more powerful and give it a better chance of success. Okay, so there's a lot of things you can do. You can use the prompt that was just shared by Justin or you can use this one right here. So we're using GROK for this, guys, for a very specific reason. This is something that ChatGPT can't do, perplexity, can't do. None of them can do it. GROK can search Twitter. It can search billions of messages and get real time customer sentiment. You can literally do market research, guys, with GROK because it has the ability to search everything that people are talking about. Okay. And in fact, you could even say, you know, be sure to spend some time searching tweets about BYU over the past couple years. Okay, so then I'm going to do something called deep search here. I'm going to quick, I'm going to activate this deep search functionality inside of grok. Okay? So now it's going to do a bunch of things, going to search. None of these other systems out there are capable of doing that. And that's why I use Grok almost exclusively for my feedback engine. And I'll go back and forth between different ones, but this gets me real time consumer sentiment. Okay, so then I'm just going to go ahead and send it. This will take a minute. It'll start this deep search thinking thing here and it will. Yeah, just dive into something went wrong. Well, sometimes that happens. Regenerate. Come on. Occasionally that happens. Guys, with grok. It happens more with GROK than other ones. Right? Okay, No, I don't want you to do that. I don't want you to do that. Please review the business plan. It did not do all the research that it was supposed to do. If that happens, guys, just kind of, you know, restart it. It. What is happening here? Come on, Elon. I know this is Elon's fault for sure.
Mine's actually doing what I know what you wanted to do. It's showing like all the sources and the research.
Exactly. I want deep search and I want you to do it. There it goes. Okay. But yeah, it'll search. You know, usually it searches somewhere around 100 sources, if not more than that right now, Guys, if I were actually building a business right now, which I kind of am, right. But, but if I was like, okay, I'm really gonna do this, right, I might spend a little bit more time researching and bouncing back and forth and even clicking on the articles and all those types of things. Anyway, so it's doing all kinds of crazy research right now, But it's doing probably at least a few hours of research, if not a week of research. Right. Just completed it. Okay. Amazing. 43 seconds, 45 sources searched. A bunch of things out there. So now I've got some feedback on my business plan. Right. Wants to do this is market analysis. Here's the improvement ideas, Business plan review. Here's some improvement. Market validation. How are they going to do this? Why are they going to do that? Are we going to differentiate? Monetization, clarity. So now what I'm going to do, now that it's given me some ideas, okay, now I'm going to get out of research and I'm going to click the think button, which is actually going to use the model differently. It's a different model, it's a different focus. It's set up differently to do different things. So now it's coming up with 10 concrete ideas. Okay, right. Already in, in terms of this, that's fantastic. But I'm going to say now I want you to think. Okay. I want you to think about these ideas and tell me which ones I should focus on that have the best chance, success. Okay, cool. I don't want to over complicate business. I just want to focus. It's most. Okay, copy. I'll drop this in there. You can use that prompt if you want. Okay. But now it's going to think. So it's going to take some time. I don't know how it determines how long it needs to think. Sometimes it will think for 45 seconds and sometimes I've had to think for eight minutes. Right. I don't know, I don't know why it does that, that you can have think more. You have deep search. You also have deeper search, extended search, extend the search, more reasoning, whatever. Not sure, not sure why it does that.
Sorry, did you say you're not sure why there's the deep. Deep versus deeper.
No, I know, I know what those are. The deeper search is just going to search more deeply. Right, it's going to do that. But I don't understand why. Sometimes it will think for 30 seconds. Seconds or sometimes search for. Other times it will search for five or six minutes. Right. Maybe I gave it a pretty simple, simple idea. Right? Sports, it's whatever. It's dashboard. It's not crazy. All right, cool. So why these five? So now I've gotten some actually pretty good feedback. Okay. It needs me to focus on technical scalability. I think that's smart. Right? We need to make sure we do that. Market validation, AI Driven Insights and Cosmo Mode. I think that's super cool. User acquisition strategies. Anyway, integration or partnership with BYU's official app. I might be able to do that. Right? You just work with them. Okay, so now what I can do guys, is I can copy and paste all of these different ideas here and thoughts, right? So here's feedback on the business plan. I can just copy all of this stuff. Here's some improvement ideas. I'm going to copy all this. I think this is, is good. I think this is good. This is some market analysis. I think that's pretty good. Fan enthusiasm. Football success, Basketball. Okay, I'm going to copy this. So I'm going to copy all this and I'm going to paste it. I'm going to go back to chat GPT here. I'm going to paste it. I'm going to say, and I'm actually going to grab a little bit more. I'm going to grab these specific five ideas that I think are really smart. I'm going to copy this, grab all these things. Oops. Copy. And I'm going to also drop this in. Yeah, we'll go here. And then I'm going to say please create a, an improved, a new canvas and, or with an improved business plan using, taking into account this feedback. Okay, I'm going to copy and paste this for you guys here. Right? Okay. So now it's going to create an entirely new canvas and I've got my Cougar iq. Improved business plan. Improved version here. Right? And so now it's taking into account all that research that I did. Now obviously guys, like I've said, if, if we were taking, you know, 40 hours to actually build this business. So I, when I built Gen AIPI and built that website up, built it all out in weekend and did this super fast, it took me about 35 hours of work, right? I worked, you know, 10 hours on, on Wednesday and Thursday and then, you know, 12 hours on Friday and nine hours on Saturday. Whatever it was, it was a bunch of hours, right? And so obviously that's a lot more than the nine hours we have together right now. But, but I would be going through and reading, right, Reading in depth and figuring this out and making sure I understand all this stuff. I would look at all the competitors, see what they're doing. Hey, tell me, go, go deeper. What is, what is BYU official missing? What is FAN360 missing? What is fan X missing? What can I do better? Where's the, the opportunity, you know, anyway? Et cetera, et cetera. So it already is doing pretty good, right? It already is finding where we, where Cougar IQ is going to exploit the differences here. Expansion, roadmap, risk mitigation. Right? Let's make sure the APIs are. This, you know, competition, BYU, whatever. It's pretty good. I'm pretty, I'm pretty happy with this business plan at this point. Okay, guys, so take another, you know, take another minute or so and get your improved business plan in there. And I will let you guys just have about 60 seconds for that. Okay? But the idea here that I want to just, you know, point out while you're finishing this up is it's all about using different AI models for different strengths. Right? GROK is going to be great at finding market sentiment and doing research. You know, Perplexity is also good at doing research in a different way. ChatGPT is going to be good at reasoning, and even different models inside of ChatGPT are going to be better at reasoning. Reasoning, right. I can, I can go into, you know, O3 Pro or something or 04 Mini High or something. And, and you can ask chat GPT. You can say, hey, you know what, I really need to do this task. Which model is going to be best to get me the deepest results on this? And we'll say, hey, you know what, maybe you should try O3 reasoning for this one. Great, we'll do that. Okay.
Sorry to ask a basic question that the canvas, that. That's just what is on the screen now. That's called the canvas.
Yeah, this. So now this thing right here is the canvas, right? So this is just the chat, right now we're in the chat, right? Answer in chat instead. Right? But this is actually the canvas. When it pulls open, this thing that I now have the ability to type in here, right? This thing right here becomes a workable document inside of Chat GPT. Yeah, you can come back and see that later. Right? And you can, you know, you can go up, you can see the last one. We did. Here was the original business plan. Here's the new business plan. Down here. Whoops. Come on. Scroll correctly. Here's the new one. And we're about to create another document. So you've created a business plan. Now what we're going to do is we're going to create a feature list. So please create a new canvas with a complete feature list of this product. All front end and back and capabilities. Do not specify. Specify which services. Which specific. Yeah, yeah. Which services you will use. I just want a complete feature list with everything that will be needed to make this scalable. Efficient and scalable. And efficient. Not any great user experience. That's a complete. That's a good prompt. So I'll drop that. So now we're going to have it make one more document for us. We've had it. Create a business plan, then an improved one. We're going to use the improved one and then we're going to use this feature list. And this is the last one we're going to do right now. Okay, so basically here's the, the. Here's the full feature list. Yeah, yeah, that's good. QA Fan engagement layer, Social feed integration, free tier onboarding with no login default account creation, Flow prediction system, Community engine, admin panel, dashboard storage. Yeah, so guys, building this out, like if you were to, if you were to take this to a dev shop, they'd be like, yeah, this is probably, you know, to. To do all of these features. They'll be like, this is probably 200 grand, right? It's. It's a lot. And we're going to build the whole thing here in just a few minutes. Well, not a few minutes, but it's a little bit, it's a little bit more than that. Right? But now we have this cool feature list, guys. We've got this business plan. Now we get to dive into replica it. Okay, so go ahead and finish your feature list. I'll give you guys about 60 seconds on that. While you guys do that, I'm going to read really quick and make sure I understand one thing. Core features, differentiators, monetization, free premium go to market strategy, scalable. Okay, I'm going to add one little thing here. I'm gonna, I'm gonna do one more bonus document for this one, guys, just because I'm kind of thinking about this and I actually want to do it really well. And so we're going to do a bonus document. This is going to be. Please create one more canvas document called User Experience Flow. This will Be an example of the user journey that follows everything discussed. Yeah, that's enough. Okay, so I'm going to send that. So one more quick document. But I want it to understand. Yes, you guys can use that. I'm going to say one more thing. I want it to understand. Users can land on the main page, interact on things, but then sign up to use advanced features. Okay. So I'm, I'm telling it to, to do something based on my plan that I've built here. And I've again, I've only spent 30 minutes thinking about this, but now I'm kind of giving it get the flow of what it's supposed to do. Here's the landing page available. Actions hype, engagements, early interactions. Still free, but here are all the things that I've talked about with it, all the plans that I made on how we're going to get people to really use this and engage with it. Okay. Upgrade and premium experience retention and re engagement. Yeah, it's pretty good. It's, I don't know, email or texts. So I'm just kind of reading through it, guys. You know, even though it's doing a bunch of work, I'm still, I still have kind of my idea of what I want. Like, for example, this isn't going to be an app, it's going to be a website. So there's not going to be a push. So it's going to be an email or text, things like that. I want to make sure that it's not putting anything in there that I don't want it to do. Okay. So now guys, I've created and you know, maybe you didn't create the experience flow, but I think it's a cool one. We've got three different, three different documents here. Okay. And we're gonna be taking a break pretty soon here, guys. We're, we're gonna do one more thing. We're gonna put all this into replit. We're gonna have it start and then because it takes 10 to 15 minutes for it to do that, we'll take a break during that time. Okay. So you guys can stand up, stretch, go to the bathroom, whatever you need to do. I, I could go for four and a half hours straight. I just, I don't know. I just go. But I know that most people like to get up and stretch a little bit. Right? Not all of us, not all of us have treadmills under our desk. Okay, so let's jump into. Actually. Yeah, yeah, into replit. Okay. When you go to replic, guys, you just click, you know, click on home. That'll take you right here to. I want to build a, build a new app. Okay, then what you're going to put here is you want to, you want to, you want chat GPT to help you do a quick description of what you're going to do. So give me a three sentence description, what we are building. Okay, super easy. I'll paste that into the chat. So you can take that if you want. Okay, here we go. Okay. Cougar IQ is real time AI powered fan companion built for BYU football and basketball enthusiasts. Okay. All this stuff, honestly mobile first experience. So now I copy this, I'm going to drop it into. Man, I keep, I keep doing the wrong thing here. Okay, I'm going to drop it into here. So now don't click start when you do this, don't click start chat. We got a, to paste a bunch of things in here. Okay, so come in here, put your little description and then wait. Okay, if you already click start, go back, right? You're gonna need to do something else here. All right, so now we're gonna go back to chat GPT and this is.
Maybe a dumb question, John, but I keep mucking up my process because I keep hitting enter as for paragraph and it starts a search before I'm ready to start a search. Do you have a trick on how to not do that?
Shift enter.
Thank you. Yeah, that allows you to actually do a space without, without actually sending the. Yeah, you're all good. You're good. Sorry, I normally actually say that. That's a good little, a good little keyboard shortcut to use. I use that every day. Okay, so now what we're gonna do, guys, is we're gonna copy our different documents that we've made, right? We've created all these guidelines, now we got to get them in there. So I'm going to start with the business plan. I'm just going to open it again. We've already done this when we copied it into Grok, but we're going to just copy this and then we're going to go into replit and we're going to paste it. Okay? Now when you paste a large amount of text into replit, it's going to show up looking like an attachment right here. Okay, so you've got your three sentence description, then you've got your attachment, okay? That's your business plan. And then you're going to rinse and repeat for your other three or your other two documents, right? I've got my business plan. Now I've got my feature list and I'm going to get rid of this word complete because that's ridiculous. Well, it's only a little bit ridiculous, but I don't like it. Okay, here we go. And I'm going to paste it. So I've got my feature list and then I'm going to do my user experience flow. Okay. Copy and paste. Okay. So I'll sit here and wait for a second. We've got, we've got a nice prompt with three sentences. We've got three, you know, guideline documents. Oh, you know what else we're going to do here? We're going to add one more thing again, Shift, Enter. When you, when you type this in, we'll say be sure to closely follow all attached guidelines. Okay.
John, is your. So like my business plan, like most would have, would be have like pricing and target audience and market size. Is that all? Are you bringing all that in as well?
Absolutely. Okay. Yeah. You want it to understand all that? It's a great question, Justin. Right. A lot of people don't. They're like, I just want features. No, no, no, no, no. Why? It needs to understand the why. What's the point? Oh, we're going to be charging money for this. How much are we going to charge? Okay, great. Well, when we compare an $8 per month thing or a $99 per month thing or a $10,000 per month thing to other things that are out there, what would they do? Right. That's the type of questions and answers that the AI is going to be going through. Right. And so if you've given it this context of like, oh, no, this is where it's fitting in the market. This is what we're doing, this is why we're doing it. This is the mission, this is the pricing, this is the structure. Then it knows all of the things that it needs to build around that to make it a really powerful, awesome piece of software or website or whatever it is that you're doing. Okay, cool.
What, John, what did you do to paste those in as attachments as opposed to like say you just paste it.
You just paste it. And it. Because the text is long, it just happens as an attachment. Yep. Yeah, it just becomes an attachment automatically. So, guys, you should have, if you've gotten to this point, feel free to go ahead and click Start Chat and then approve it. Right. So you've got, you know, your three sentence description, add that little thing. Be sure to closely follow all attached guidelines. And then, and then all of your you know your three documents that you've done here. Okay. We're going to come back to these documents a little bit later in the process here. But for now they're in your initial prompt prompt. You go ahead and click Start Chat. Okay. I'm gonna go ahead and click mine. And when it first does it, it's going to go through a couple little processes making an implementation plan. It's going to think through this. Okay. And then it's going to give you a couple options that you can select if you want, or you can just click Approve Plan and start. The reality is if you don't include it, like, like if it's like, oh, do you want this and this and this, it doesn't really matter. You can always come back to those later. Okay. You got to make sure that you click this. Approve plan and start. Okay. You can also adjust it if there's something like. Yeah, I don't really need that right away. Okay, just going to go for it. Approve plan and start.
Hey, John, I'm sorry to have you go back is my searches were taken longer.
You're good. So.
So putting in the three sentence description, I see your. Be close to follow the. All the attached guidelines. Those attached guidelines, were those the different.
Yeah, that's the business plan, your feature list, your experience flow, you know, anything, any document you're bringing over, you just paste it and it will automatically create it as an attachment like this.
Okay. And you're just copying the canvas using the copy button there.
Yep, I just copy it, paste it and it will just. Yeah, it just drops it in just like that. Look, if you were to click on it, look at the attachment, you can see all the content and copied it over. It looks kind of weird. It doesn't matter. We're going to fix that later.
We're going backwards for a second there.
You're good, you're good. All right, guys, so it's 11 o'. Clock. We've gone two hours straight. Let's take just 10 minutes. Yeah, let's take 10 minutes and come back. Okay, so that's 11:15. You know what? I lied. We'll do 11:15. Yeah, we're gonna do 15 minutes. We'll give you guys 15 minutes. Okay. Get up, go walk outside, go to the bathroom, walk around, do some push ups, whatever it is, we'll give you 15 full minutes to kind of just reset. Obviously some of you might sit here and be watching it and be like really excited about this. Right. But it will keep going even if you're out there working your. Your employee will. Will stay on task. So see you guys soon. I'm going to go ahead and turn off my camera here and audio, but I'll see you guys back in 15 minutes.
My app crashed.
Sa. All right, guys, welcome back. Oh, no. My agent encountered an error while I was trying to build this. It's too bad.
Yeah, I just came back and mine has. Your app crashed.
So your app crash is fine. It said it over here on the right. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's fine. We'll talk about that. You can. And. And. And if it's. Is it still working on stuff like, is the agency.
Well, now it's giving me instructions. Like, it needs open a.
It needs API key keys. Got it. Okay. Very cool. So, yeah, we're starting to dive in now, guys. This is great. Does anybody have something that's really cool that worked, and you're like, holy crap, this is amazing? Yeah. Anybody have any work? I want. I want you to share really quick. I heard. I think Brandon, go ahead. Let's see what you.
Let's just.
Just show us what. What it did. Let's see.
I don't know, guys. Let me know if you can see my screen.
Yep, I can see it.
So again, we're creating this app called Heyday. I. I dropped everything in. It's, you know, starting to work. Ask it to test a few functionalities. Creating your own barn, creating your own profile for each of your horses. It seems like it's still doing that. It does have a Ask kd, like your AI assistant that will allow you to create the profiles just by talking to it. Like, hey, got a barn. Got 10 horses. So, yeah, this is where we're. We're at right now. Haven't dug into the functionality much, but it's got schedules, got reporting. Obviously, reporting's not working.
Yep. Hasn't been built yet. Yeah. Yep. That's fine.
But that's where we're at.
I love it. I love it. Isn't that awesome? Isn't that awesome? You just, like, push a button and boom, you've got something working. Now, obviously, it was a little more than pushing a button. We made a plan, and we've talked to it. Now we're going to. Now we're going to dive in and start to really, you know, make it. Make it awesome. All right, anybody else want to show something? They're just like, oh, this is so cool. You don't have to. This is kind of random. Rebecca, did you have a question?
No. I can share something.
Yeah, go ahead and show.
Okay.
So mine basically worked on the academy and very quickly it put together just our main mission bullet points, the highlights of what you'll be receiving from the intensive academy.
Yep.
The different main pillars of what people will be receiving to succeed in the business. Not just the technical performance, but really what it, it takes to thrive. And then also it comes back and shows, you know, it'll have an integrated schedule for everyone. And then of course the large mentoring network of people in the business kind of lays out some of their information and then of course has an alumni part of the website. So really great then application fee and application information for people to start. So, so really great of building a website quickly for. And a landing page.
Yeah, that's very cool. I love it. Awesome. Thanks for sharing. So guys, we don't need you to all share this right now, but I wanted just a couple of you to do that. So thank you for, for both of you, Brandon and Rebecca, for doing that. The idea here was just, just to start, you know, getting, getting stuff working. Now mine is, you know, mine obviously ran to an error unfortunately, and so now I have to let it kind of work. It's building a pretty, I, I, I've given it a pretty complex app to build. It's not got a lot of different features, can have a lot of APIs and different things. Some of you have started to run into, and I saw there on Rebecca's screen, some of you started to run into, it's asking for an API key. Hey guys, the cool thing is when it asks for that, it tells you exactly what to do, exactly how to do it. Now stripe is one of the harder APIs to set up, Rebecca, because you have to, if you don't already have a stripe account, you have to create a stripe account and you have to have, you know, you got to use your llc, you got to use an ein, you got to use different things like that, that in order to actually get your stripe account approved and ready for use. Right. And so there's a couple steps behind the scenes. So what you can do right now is say I, I will give you the stripe ID later. Let's, let's hold off on that for now. Keep going. Go ahead and say that.
Actually, John, I just grabbed the stripes. I don't have a stripe account. I just email name logged in, went to developer keys. I know you have to do all that other stuff to actually get payments, but I was able to get a P A publishable and a C secret in just a few Seconds.
Well, then maybe, maybe do that. You're. You're totally right, Justin. In order to get it actually working. Yes, you want. Yeah, but to get the API key. Yeah, maybe just do it really quickly. Rebecca, go in and do that. But follow the instructions. Right? Like you can listen to me, but my instructions aren't going to be any better than, you know what, it's, what it's asking you to do right there. So just jump in, click on the link. It will say go here, click on this, do that, just follow it, listen to it. Okay. To set up like an OpenAI API key, guys, it's super, super easy. We'll talk about what that means a little bit more here while we are. While this is continuing to work on a few different things here for, you know, for me and for some of you guys, I'm going to introduce you guys to a folder over here that I have. So there's this. I have a build a business in a weekend folder here that you guys will get access to after the course, but during it we'll go over a couple things. One of the things I want to go over really quickly is basically a coding quick start guide. This is your 5 minute coding boot camp that you're going to get. So some of you, you'll probably know a lot of this. Those of you that have spent a lot of time around tech might be comfortable with some of these things, but some of you might be a little bit new. And even if you just catch a word or two here that you don't know, this will. This will help you better talk to your developer. Right? Whether it's replit or a developer that you're paying in the Ukraine or someone that you hire as your cto. Right. Just understanding the difference between a front end versus a back end is going to make you just look a little bit smarter and feel a bit smarter and be able to understand how things work. Okay. It's going to help you really be able to put software together much, much faster if you just get a couple basic concepts. Okay, so here we go. Front end versus back end. A lot of you might already know this, but that's okay. The front end is all of the things you can see, right. It's what we're looking at on the screen right now. Okay. It's rendered usually right. There's a bunch of code that then says, hey, this is what I want it to look like. And when you hire is your cto, right? Just understanding the difference between a front end versus a back end is Going to create buttons and things you can click on and places you can type. Right. But the front end is where you're interacting. It's the visible part of your app to make you just look a little bit smarter and feel a bit smarter and be able to understand how things work. Okay. It's going to help you really be able to put software together much, much faster if you just get a couple basic concepts. Okay, so here we go. Front end versus back end. A lot of you might already know this, but that's location. There's a lot of languages, you don't need to know those. But, you know, here's an example. A login form where users enter their email and password. Right? The form itself is the front end. Okay. The back's okay. The front end is all of the things you can see. Right. It's what we're looking at on the screen right now. Ken's gonna do some different things, so we'll, we'll jump down there. The back end is the behind the scenes logic, the data, everything, where everything is processing requests from the front end or maybe request came. It's rendered usually, right. There's a bunch of code that then says, hey, this is what I want it to look like. And it will create buttons and things you can click on and places you can type. Right. But the front end is where you're interacting. It's the visible part of your application. There's a lot of languages, you don't need to know those. But here's an example login from other APIs, which we'll talk about in a second. The back end is going to be where all the magic happens. Although, like we saw in the beginning, some of you created some basic front end functionalities that was actually processing logic and data, creating some calculators, right? You can, the front end can do some of those things, but really a very powerful app is going to use the back end as well. In a second here, we're going to spin up some more back end services so that your apps all of a sudden start to become more complex. Don't do too much work if you're just sitting there, you know, waiting, and your app is ready to go. Don't do too much work on it yet because we've got to make sure we set something up right so you're not accidentally building too much on the front end. We got to get the back end up. All right, so the back end, as an example, with those login credentials, right? It's going to say, all right, hey, I took this name, John, this, you know, this username John, and his password, admin or whatever, right? And I'm going to check it. When you click login, it's going to send a signal to check the back end and it's going to look for a table. It's going to say, hey, do I have, Do I have this combination of users and all this stuff? Right? And so if it does, great. If it doesn't, then it's going to say, sorry, wrong password, or this user password doesn't exist, et cetera, et cetera. Right. Whatever you've instructed it to do. Or it will say, hey, that's correct. And it will send a key and let you in. Right? It'll give you what's called a token and let you in. Okay, so backend is going to, is going to be holding data, it's going to process data, it's going to do all those things kind of behind the scenes that make the magic actually work. Okay, now, databases. We're going to use a PostgreSQL database in here. This one right here. PostgreSQL is how you would say that. And really, basically the easiest way to understand is basically just a table table, right? It's like an Excel document, right? You're going to have, you know, a column that says, okay, this is my user ID and this is my password, and this is this. And these are all the different things related to the user, right? And so it's going to create, it's going to create a bunch of structured information. There are other types of databases, but for now and for today, we're just going to focus on, all right, a structured database like PostgreSQL that we can use inside of Replit. Okay, we're going to skip forward here. All right? APIs. APIs are how the entire Internet works, right? How everything works and how you. How you can start to create really complex, fun things. Some of you have started to be asked for API keys, but an API is basically a connector, right? It allows you to connect one thing to another thing. In this case, you know, Rebecca's, you know, academy to stripe, right? Or, you know, an API request to say, hey, we want to use AI to do something for heyday here, right? We're going to use an OpenAI API key or something like that, right? But basically it's connecting one thing to another. And there's specific endpoints and connectors and places where, where they connect and instructions and often passwords or tokens that are unique to you. You don't want to share them with anybody else. Because if you share them, then, you know, Rebecca, if I see your stripe id, well, then I can snag your stripe ID and I could start accepting payments with your stuff now. Now, that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense because then I would just be collecting money and it would be going into your account. I don't have your password to get into your account with that API, but you can still mess with it. Now, if I get a hold of Brandon's API OpenAI API key, well, now I can install that into my own app and I can use his credits, right? It costs money to use APIs, right? Stripe charges a fee to process a payment. AI or OpenAI is going to charge you every time somebody asks a question. Now, it might be a fraction of a fraction of a penny, right? But with a million requests, yeah, you might get a bill for, you know, $14 that. Wait a second, nobody's using this. Did somebody get a hold of my API key? So there's obviously some security and things like that that we'll talk about later. But bottom line is API keys or APIs connect, okay? And almost every application you have out there has them. Salesforce, HubSpot, Calendly. Right. Many of you have probably heard of, what do you call it, Zapier, Right? Zapier is basically a bunch of APIs that are kind of pre. Put together for you. Right? That's really what, what's happening there. Okay. Now the entire Internet, all programming almost basically does get, post, put, delete. That's what APIs do. Okay. These four things, also called crud, create, read, update, Delete is another way to say it, are really important concepts to understand because it will help you understand. Okay, When I click this button in my app, what's it doing? Oh, it's asking for this or it's checking this or it's putting this or whatever it's doing. It will help you understand how your tables and databases and, and the architecture. Right. How your app is put together, how it all works. It's pretty simple. Get retrieves data. Okay. Post. How many of you guys have ever posted something on social media? Yeah, probably all of you. Okay. That's where it comes from. Post is actually a developer term.
Right.
We're going to post a new picture, we're going to send new data, we're going to send some text. Okay. We're going to post new data into a table. Okay. And it's going to be stored in a table. And then when you go and you browse. You know, if I go click on Justin's, you know, Facebook feed, I'm going to see all of his past posts by getting by, retrieving the data, I'm going to scroll down. It's going to be all organized according to however Facebook has set it up. Okay. PUT means to, to update. So maybe you're like, yeah, you know what, I posted that maybe I should edit my comment or, you know, maybe I forgot my password. Right? So we need to update that password to a new one. So we're going to get a put request in an email, right? Oh, let's update that password or delete. Okay, now CRUD is a good way to just say, hey, I need, I want to add a blog feature to my website. Please create it with full CRUD functionality. Okay? CRUD functionality means you'll be able to create a blog, you'll be able to read and view the blog, you'll be able to edit the blog and you'll be able to delete the blog, right? Or maybe, hey, I need a, an admin user interface with full CRUD functionality. Okay, great. Now I can add, delete, update, edit, users, all of those things, right? Crud. It's a great, great little term to have in your back pocket. Okay. When you're talking to your developer authentication and security login, most of you will be using token based authentication, JD jwt. Some of it, it might try to get you to use a replit, you know, authorization system. And you can do that if you want. I'm not a huge fan. I just like to do a basic jwt. Okay, so that's, that's what you're gonna, that's where you're gonna start with. Okay, now you can obviously, you know, integrate login with Google, login with Facebook, you can add those things later. Most of the time I'm just gonna say, hey, you know what, I just want a basic token. Let me in. Okay, log in and go. Okay, that's really all I need to talk about right now, guys. Everything. One of the reasons I love. Now there's lots more stuff you can read here at a later date. You can, you can go through some of this stuff. But Replit has this amazing system. You know, there's other tools out there, Lovable and bold and cursor and all these different things. And maybe some of you have tried some of them. Maybe most of you probably haven't though. And the reason is because they're kind of difficult, they're kind of difficult to Understand what relet does really, really well is it puts everything inside of one spot. Okay? So one of the things that we're going to want here is we're going to want a database. Okay? So if you guys look here on my screen on replit, there's a little plus button up here, okay? You can open new tabs, okay. So we're going to do here is we're going to create. We're going to click database, and then all we're going to do is just say, ask agent to set up a database. Okay? And so that the database is, is then going to start doing something. It's going to be doing everything a little bit different than, you know, than what it might be doing right now. Right now it might be using what's called memory storage, right? Or MEM storage. Okay. And what that is is it's storing data kind of temporarily, but as soon as you refresh, that memory is erased. You go to a new device, that memory isn't there. Okay. And so it might, might seem like, oh, I'm saving data and it's working and I created a login user. But then you refresh and you come back and it's not there. The database, as we just talked about, stores that data and creates data persistency between sessions, right? So when I log in, it's there because it checks the database. So it's actually spinning up a new table, a new database, and you pay for this database. Now, to help you understand, my total database storage bill for this month so far on the 17th with a dozen apps running, is a dollar eight. Okay? You guys are going to be lucky if you spend 5 cents, right, in the next week, okay? It's very, very cheap, but it puts it all in here for you, okay? You're only going to start using really expensive database storage if, I don't know if you have something that's really, really heavy on that. And none of you, none of the ideas that you guys are doing, I think are gonna, are going to meet those criteria. But what it's doing right now is it's building a database. It's building all of these different tables and we'll look at them, right? So you've got this, for example, this users table, okay. We've got the ID, right? This is going to be 1, 2, 3. As soon as we create a first, you know, the first user is going to create one username, John, or whatever it is, right? My email address. I'll have my password. It will have, hey, is it, Is this a Premium user or not a premium user, you know, is how many Cosmo questions, right? How many, how many questions has it asked? Ask Cosmo. Has it hit the limit? What is its limit? When was it created? What are the comments, id, whatever Cosmo conversation. So it remembers past things that it's talked about. Okay? So it will look at these things and, and so by, by, by looking at your tables that it creates for you, you can start to understand. Oh, okay. Hey, there is something already there to tell me whether or not I'm a premium user or a paid user, right? If I'm a premium user, I'm going to be able to do certain things. Things that's conditional type, type stuff. So for example, in Gen aipi, where you guys signed up to take this course, you can click on all these things. Now if I log in, you see there's an about here and there's nothing over here. But if I log in as an admin here, then all of a sudden I have an admin functionality. So that means I have inside of my app an IS admin functionality. And if I'm an admin, I have more capabilities. I can jump in and I can mess with users course content, live courses, test content, test results. I can do all kinds of things. I can manage reviews. You guys can't manage reviews on the site. I can take those reviews and publish them on here. Okay. And so I've created some conditional, you know, things. Now all I did was just say, hey, I want admins to be able to manage reviews. Okay, great, I'll build that for you. And it does it. Okay, now my, my pa. My thing is done. It obviously needs a lot of work here. That's full size iPhone. Let's look at an iPhone preview. Full size. Okay, right now I'm going to immediately tell it, I'm going to give it a screenshot. I'm going to say, I don't like how it looks for the desktop view. Like you just made a, a mobile view. Okay? So I, I've given it a screenshot, I gave some feedback. I'm going to let it do some, do some cool stuff here, okay? But we've created a database, we've created the initial thing and you know, there's a lot of work to be done to get it up to where we need and you know, nothing's really connected. Nothing really works. And so what I'm going to start doing, guys, I'm just going to start poking through this as a user. User, right? That's, you know, you, you Almost act like your own QA agent and. Or your own QA person and. And that's, you know, quality assurance. Right? You go through, you click on every button. You just make sure that every single thing works and it looks like it doesn't. Hey, I don't like the way this looks. Hey, I don't like the general feel of the site. Can you, you know, spruce it up? Make it, you know, give it some animations, give it, you know, make the colors more exciting, give it some hues and some different whatever. Hey, let's change the overall theme. Hey, here's a logo. We'll get into logos and stuff in a bit. But. But bottom line is, guys, right here is where is is. You're going to spend a lot of time just looking at the preview, talking to the agent, looking at the preview, talking to the agent, going back and forth, trying to figure out, okay, how do we make this get to where. I'm really excited about this. Okay, so it's kind of re rebuilding and just doing a mobile view now. We're starting to get something here. All right, so, yeah, this is weird spacing up here. Lots of weird stuff going on. So we'll start diving into replit here. Okay, I'm moving a little bit fast here. Any questions about databases or any of the coding stuff we talked about.
Guys, did you actually want us to.
Go ahead and do. Build a database? Yeah, yeah, push that button, start that process. Yep. Yeah, go ahead and just click that button and it will just take. It'll take. Take it through. It will. You'll change the database multiple times. We'll update it and do all kinds of fun stuff with it.
It.
But. But for now, yeah, go ahead and click that database. Get it started if you have not other questions.
Not to be the only one asking not to jump on the question. So I can see my app, but I can only see the homepage. I'm wondering how I can get to the back end now. Like, it built the homepage, which looks pretty solid to start y. But now I can't figure out how do I get to like once the. Once the user's logged in, what they would see. Because I only see. I saw it building all that for me for a long time.
And then it.
The final preview is the homepage.
Show me. Show me your screen. Share your screen. Sure.
Hold on a second.
Try again. Yeah, there we go. Okay. All right. Click. Get started. Yeah, so now it's wanting you to log in in. So go ahead. Right. So when I log in, it's there because it checks the database. So it's actually spinning up a new table, a new database, and you pay for this data and click that copy development URL button right there. I'm sorry, where's that database now? To help you understand, my total database storage bill for this month so far on the 17th with a dozen apps running is a $8. Okay, right in the middle. Here we go. Yeah, right there. Then go to a new browser. Yeah. Tab just in Chrome there. Yeah, there you go. And just paste it and go. All right, so now go ahead and click get started.
Probably gonna ask me to log in, I imagine.
Yep. And go ahead and click Allow. Yeah, it's using, it's for, for you. It's using the, the. The.
And that is so cool.
Sorry, that's ridiculous. Isn't that cool, though? So it's using the login. It's using the, the rep login. I, it's. It's fine. Allows you to log in with Google. It kind of builds all that out for you. It's kind of just a little bit. It's got a few weird quirks, but there you go. Yeah. So now you can start poking around and, you know, playing with, with everything. And the problem is most of this data probably is fake. It's called dummy data. Right, Right. You guys are going to be lucky if you spend 5 cents right in the next week. Okay. It's very, very cheap, but it puts it all in here for you. Okay. You're only going to start using really expensive database storage if, I don't know if you have something that's really, really heavy on that. And none of you, all of it is definitely dummy data because you haven't built a data database yet. Now, did you click the, you know, create database button yet? None of the ideas that you guys are doing, I think are gonna, are going to meet those criteria. But what it's doing right now is it's building.
Yeah, I did. So it is right here.
Okay. Yes. So it's starting. It's starting to work. But if you click See my data? Just click that button right there. Yep. And then, you know, if you click on any of those tables, they're all empty. Right, right. So, and so now what we're gonna say, this is really important. I'm gonna have you do it instead of me doing it for you. You, you know, so, so go ahead and talk to the agent and say, okay, I'm in. And I'm looking at the dashboard and everything, but it looks like it's Using dummy data. Right. Go ahead and type that to the agent. Say, I'm in and looking at the, looking at the dashboard and everything that's happening here looks great. But it's all using dummy data. Let's make sure it's using the data.
What kind of data would ask you to use real data?
Using the database. Just say using the database. Yeah, so what that, what, what that means is. Okay, yeah, it's put up a database, it's building all of these different tables and we'll look at them. Right, so you've got this, for example, this user bunch of just kind of basically. So go back to your, the other tab where, where we were seeing your cool dashboard. Yeah, back. Yeah, so, so any of these things, right? It says like post per month 8 Mike's Auto Service. Like all of this stuff is, is hard. It's what's called hard coded in as dummy data. Okay. And so it's just throwing it all in there into the design. Into the design. What it needs to be doing is pulling from the database. So it's going to need to pull, you know, companies, it's going to need to pull all these different numbers. You have a ton of data. Clearly that's going to have to be coming from here. And so you're going to have to just use table. Okay, We've got the ID, right? This is going to be 1, 2, 3. As soon as we create a first, you know, the first user is going to create one username, John, or whatever it is, right? My email address, it'll have my password, it will have, hey, is it. Is this a premium user or a one step at a time go through and say, hey, you know, where is it getting this data from? Is it pulling from, you know, the Google API? Is it, you know what, where is it actually pulling this information from? Right. Where did, how did it calculate that SEO score, for example? Right. Local SEO score is 87. How did it make that score? What's the, what's the equation behind it? Right? What's the data that's leading that? Right. And so you're going to have to slowly build that out and it's going to take you 30 hours to do this, right. To go through. And because this is complex, this is awesome, by the way, it looks incredible and I'm excited for you to start having customers use this, but it's gonna take you a minute to connect it to all real data and get all the logic actually doing what it's supposed to do. Now, the cool thing is, you don't have to build the logic. We're not a premium user. You know, is how many Cosmo questions, Right? How many. How many questions has it asked Cosmo? Has it hit the limit? What is its limit? When was it created? Right. Yeah, you're gonna have to try all those things. Hey, fail to generate play. Why? What are the comments, I.D. whatever. Cosmo conversation. So it remembers past things that it's talked about. Okay. You know, let's figure out, let's figure out why. Let's figure out why it's doing that. Maybe it's not connected. And so we're going to work on debugging for a bit here. Okay. Okay. All right. So anybody. Yeah, I stopped sharing your screen. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I got some quick buttons here to make that happen. Okay, so now, you know, I'm, I kind of hate the design here. All right, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to. I'm just going to screenshot it. You'll see me screenshot a lot, guys. Right? I'm also going to select this. What on earth? Why are there all of these? Oh, you know what? You know what? I just realized something. This happens sometimes, guys. There's a bunch of stuff here, but the design just looks horrible. Right. This colors are off. Right. So I'm just gonna say the design looks horrible. Let's give this a solid face lifts. Use the BYU royal blue color instead of what you're using now. Make sure there is good contrast, good design concepts and just make it better. Okay? So again, I'm going very broad still. I'm going to get more specific the deeper I go. But a couple things that I do, guys, you've already started seeing me do some things like screenshotting, right? And, and on, on, on Mac, That's Shift Command 4. I'm not sure what it is on Windows. You guys can Google that really quick if you need to do that. But being able to just screenshot a part of your screen so it can see it. It can see like, oh, yeah, this looks terrible and boring. Right? Let's make it. Let's make it way better. Let's make it pop. I also can't see, you know, a lot of the elements that I want to be able to see. I don't, I don't see, you know, a lot of things. Like there should be a menu somewhere. It feels very incomplete. And so I'm just going to have to start working through these different pieces. It looks like there are, there should be. Let's see If I go back to this. Yeah, there is some. So right here, guys, is a cool thing. Screen size. This allows you to choose what device you're looking at it on. But you can see this. I can see community and feed and scores and these different things here. But when I go to full size, that. That disappears. I have no navigation, right? And so I would say, hey, when I'm on desktop view, right, or full size view, there's no navigation. Oh, yeah, we're sorry, we forgot that, right? Let me, let me get that in there. Okay. All right. See, we're already starting to look better. Look at this. Boom. Now, I did put a volleyball here, so that's the wrong thing, but that's okay. We'll put a Y here. We'll put a cougar iq. I don't know what we'll put here. We'll figure out a logo later. But it looks like there's a couple things like this. Hey, this doesn't work. Now, I, I showed you the screenshot thing where I can just make that happen, right? I can also click this little down here. There's this visual editor, or it's also called the element selector. So I can select this and I can say, hey, this little icon or this little thing right here, right? Like, these icons don't do anything. It looks like this is supposed to be a notifications, Whoops, notifications icon and a profile icon. Let's get these things working. You may have to build those pages and features if they haven't been built yet. Okay, so again, I'm just like, oh, yeah, I see this. Whatever. You know, let's. Let's make that happen now. It's still working on some design stuff right now, so it's still kind of working. I can give it this, you know, this instruction while it's in the middle of it. And it's not going to forget what I said, but it may take a second to get to it. Okay, so you can give it multiple instructions. I don't do this a lot, guys, because sometimes what it will do is it will start working on that and then, like, it will immediately start working on that. It will pause what it was doing. Oh, yeah, let me work on that for a minute. And then it will go back and so it just gets lost sometimes. So again, be a good boss. Don't give your employee too many instructions and weird orders. It's going to do a pretty good job at keeping track of it. But, you know, it has its limitations. Be, you know, be careful. Proceed with cautions. With that one. Okay, so those are the two primary ways, guys, that you're going to start messing with this. And I want you guys to be working on this. I know you're, some of you are watching me, but if you're, you know, if you want to, if you want to be working on it, go ahead and do that. Start saying, okay, click on this thing. Hey, let's change this. You can also change text, right? So let's say, you know, it says next game. First of all, I don't know why next game is up here. I want it to say like cougar iq. You know, I need, I need like a header or something. But anyway, if I wanted to change, if I wanted to change this text right here, matchup preview. Well, I can change that right here. I can type right in here. I can change it right here as well. And then I just click save changes. And then what it will do is we'll actually tell the agent to save those changes and it will make it, have it change it in the code itself. So you've got kind of this visual editor here that then actually changes the code itself. Okay, now I've given it. Sorry to interrupt.
How did you, how did you get it? When I highlight mine, I can't edit in the, what I'll call the canvas. The preview area.
Yeah, show me your, show me your screen. Let me see.
Okay, so here, if I tried to.
Yep, you got to push the select button down in the, in the, in the agent right there.
Oh, okay.
There you go. And then.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, then click whatever. Yeah, your projected savings right there. Yeah, click that. And now you can type.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, no problem. And so when you do that, guys, you're going to have to click save changes. And then it will take a second. The code will update it and then it will be, it will be, it will be put there. So, yeah, great, great question. Replit is very powerful, guys. It can do, it can do so much. Right? And don't worry if you see like these, a notification trigger, you see these errors, it's going to work through the errors. If it, you know, if your agent stops working and you still have an error, well, screenshot the error. Hey, this happened, right? And so it's working through it, but you can see it just worked through that error. And it's going to do that. It's going to build stuff that doesn't have everything it needs and then it's going to fill in the gaps. Oh, yeah, I need to do this. I Need to connect that. Right. It's very. It's very smart. Yeah, this, this. Yeah, this is pretty cool. We've got some notifications here now. 2 notifications game starting soon. Mark, all is red. That's cool. Can I. Does that work? Does kind of work. I mean, I clicked mark, all's red. So they're gone here. But it didn't refresh that. So those are the little things you're going to have to just be a QA person on, right? You're going to go through. You're going to say, okay, and guys, look, this is not technical. This is not a technical job. What you're doing now, what I'm teaching you. All of you have experienced Netflix and the BYU app and MSN.com and CNN or Fox News or, you know, every, you know, every app you can imagine, right? Your text messages and your. Everything you've done. You guys have all experienced hundreds or thousands of apps. So here. Who here is confused about what should happen when you click on a notifications button? I'm not confused. I know that when I click on it, I want those notifications to go away. Right. And so if I did that just now, I click on this and I click clear them. Right. Well, why is it still showing this, too? Let me just click refresh. See if that's just a refresh problem. I don't know. Why is it showing two. Oh, Mark, all is red. So it didn't save it. That means this is important because I clicked Mark, all is red, but that means that it didn't save that information anywhere in the database. Right. How are those notifications actually being created? I don't know. Right. So what it's probably done and what it usually the way that rep. It works is it's going to create something that looks like it works. Okay. And then you have to actually figure it out. Now here's a profile button. Let's click on that, see what happens. I'm not signed in. Okay, let's sign in. Hey, sign in doesn't work. Okay. Awesome, right? What happens if I click upgrade? Okay. Start premium subscription. Welcome. Hey. I now. I now have access to everything. That's great. Well, kind of. Not really because I didn't actually sign in because this is still here. Now it's showing some messages. So there's a couple things that are just. They look like they work, guys, but they don't actually. So you got to figure that out. So now I'm going to click here. I'm going to say sign in. Looks like Sign in, slash sign up doesn't work yet. Let's get those screens and functionalities working. Yeah, let's use JWT for this. Okay. All right, so remember, JWT guys, is just the, it's just the type of login that we're going to use. It's going to use a token, it's token based authentication instead of going and doing all that fancy replit stuff. Part of the reason I don't like using the Replit one is because while it is powerful and it does do some good things, it doesn't allow me to view it and preview it inside of Replit because it's using a third party service to do it. And for whatever reason Replit does not allow you in this browser to see a third party site. If you try to go to like, you know, BYU Edu or whatever it is, right. It's not going to work for you. This is important too when you're testing something like Stripe. So for example, if I try to buy something here inside of inside of Gen API. So let's say I go to sign up for a course. Okay. When I click on select session date register now. Register now. I'm going to pay 1250. It's going to pull up the Stripe thing and it's a checkout.swepe.com this is a totally different website, right? So it leaves Replit. So if I were to go test this site inside of Replit, it would just look like it's not loading. It just kind of like sits there and does this thing. And so what you have to do is you actually have to leave and go check it by using the external link that it gives you. So that's a little bit complex. Not terribly complex but, but, but that's what it is. So anyway, a lot of these things are starting to work. You know, there's coming, coming together. They're still, it's still going to take some time though, right? Like hey, I want to see if byu. Okay, that's awesome. Now I have one vote. Maybe I want Texas Tech. Maybe I'll beu. Hey, it looks like I can vote multiple times. Is that how polls are supposed to work? I know a lot of people wish they could just keep clicking on byu, right? Get them to, to look like they're winning. But that's so, so there's a problem. There's a bug. That's not something that should happen right when I click View Comments, nothing's working. If I click Refresh, it looks like those votes stayed. So that's interesting. Let's go to the. Let's go here and see if there's polls. Hey, look. Votes 19 and 1. So it's. It's. Every single time it's clicked on, it's. It's registering it. Right. So it's actually saving that. That's cool. Cool. You see how that works, guys? We created our first record in the database. That means this is one feature that might actually be pretty dang close. The only thing we need to do now is say, hey, users can only vote on a poll once. Okay. Then it will put some restrictions on it and it should fix this. Okay. Pretty cool. So one step at a time, guys. We're going to start working through this. But the amount of work, like that dashboard that who has adjusted or whoever it had was sharing a minute ago.
Might need more paper.
That. That is crazy, guys. You're good. Blake. It's. It's. It's crazy how much it would cost to build this. Yeah, the biggest risks with startups, guys, is getting your first dollar. How much does it cost you to get to your first dollar? Right. For me, when I founded a company back in 2016 called Seek, and I wanted to do this augmented reality Pokemon Go thing, this was pretty complex. I needed about $30,000 to get to my first dollar and to get to my second dollar. Yeah, not really second, but like, I. I made about $30,000. And then we had to really, you know, really, you know, get out there and turn it into something real. I had to raise $500,000. And then we kind of just went on pause. We're like, hey, we're building the new thing. It's not ready yet. And so during all of that time, I'm spending all this money, $500,000, I'm making no revenue. That's when companies run out of money. The founder wants to take a salary because he doesn't, you know, he wants to be full time, and the developer needs to be full time. And you do all this stuff or maybe people are trying to work it on the side and anyway. But at some point, you have to make a transition and say, okay, I am going to start making money. I need to start making money, or else I have to keep raising money. And guys, raising money sucks. It's horrible. Has anyone here ever raised money? Anybody else here ever raise money? Yeah. Is it fun? Is that, like. Is that, like, one of the things you enjoy doing? Like, I don't. I have. I have successfully received checks from over 65 different groups and individuals. Right. Angel investors, family offices, VCs, whatever.
I've done it.
All right? That's besides all of the, you know, tens of millions of dollars of sales I've made, Right? But yeah, I mean, not that investing when you, when you get money from an investor that's also a made sale, Right? But man, it sucks. It's horrible. It's horrible.
It's horrible.
It's horrible. It's horrible because it doesn't let you work on the core business. That's one thing. Two, you're getting, you're going in debt, you're indebting yourself to that individual, that organization, and now you're a little bit limited. You're limiting your choices and your abilities as an individual to do what you want to do. Do you have to always think, oh, well, is this going to return money to my investors? Right. Whereas if you can bootstrap it or self fund it, you can do anything you want. If you want to go on vacation for a month, you can do it, right? You can do whatever you want. You're the boss. As soon as you raise money, you're not the boss anymore. You might have the title CEO and Chairman of the board. And maybe according to your legal documents, maybe you're allowed to do, you know, whatever you want, want. But the reality is, if you're a good person, like I try to be, you do care about those investors. You do want to give them a return. And so as soon as you take their money, boom, you have to start making decisions differently. And you feel guilty when you give yourself $20,000 a month or $10,000 a month, or you're like, I'm just going to work on pennies. I'm going to work. I'm going to give myself $4,000 a month. I'm going to barely survive here and work. Yeah, but if you can figure out how to be making money from day one, then you can work up to where you are always in control, right? With Gen AIPI, I was able to say, okay, hey, within five days, I made $15,000. And now here we are a few months in. I'm hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue in and I can pay myself and do whatever I want. I own 100 of the business. I answer to nobody. I had one person come to me. This is crazy, guys. I had one person come to me six, six weeks into the business and say, I will give you $1.5 million for 40% of your business. And I said, no way. Right? Because I know I can make that $1.5 million. But the bigger thing was I didn't want to give up my freedom, right? Investors can be great, but they can also be bad. And if you, if you want to take on money, you can, I can teach you how to do it. I could do a whole course on that. I'm frickin good at it. But I do not like it and I do not recommend it for most people. But the reason I've always had to raise money, guys, again, back to this is I couldn't do this. Now anybody can develop. All right, we're gonna watch a quick little video. Okay, give me just a second here to pull it up. It's only two minutes long. Oh, I even have it up and ready to go. I'm so on top of things here. All right, let's, let's resume screen sharing here. All right, this is a guy named Eric Schmidt. He said this almost exactly two months ago. It's crazy how much we, we've, we've progressed since then. But he's talking about AI and software development a lot here.
We believe as an industry that in the next one year the vast majority of programmers will be replaced by AI programmer. We also believe that within one year you will have graduate level mathematicians that are at the tippy top of graduate math programs. So that's one year. Okay, what happens in two years? Well, I've just told you about reasoning and I've told you about programming, and I told you about math. Programming plus math are the basis of sort of our whole digital world. So the evidence and the claims from the research groups in OpenAI and Anthropic and so forth is that they're now somewhere around 10 or 20% of the code that they're developing in their research programs is being generated by the computer.
So it will look at these things and, and so by, by, by looking at your tape.
That's called recursive self improvement is the technical term. So what happens when this thing starts to scale?
Well, a lot.
One way to say this is that within three to five years we'll have what is called general intelligence, AGI, which can be defined as a system that is as smart as the smartest mathematician, physicist, you know, artist, writer, thinker, politician. I call this, by the way, the San Francisco consensus, because everyone who believes this is in San Francisco, it may be the water. What happens when every single one of us has the equivalent of the smartest human on every problem in our pocket? But the reason I want to, I want to make the point here is that in the next Year or two, this foundation is being locked in and it's not, we're not going to stop it. It's much more interesting after that because remember, the computers are now doing self improvement. They're learning how to plan and they don't have to listen to us anymore. We call that super intelligence or asi. Artificial super intelligence. And this is the theory that there will be computers that are smarter than the sum of humans. The San Francisco Convents Consensus is this occurs within 6 years just based on scaling. This path is not understood in our society. There's no language for what happens with the arrival of this. That's why it's underhyped. People do not understand what happens when you have intelligence at this level, which is largely free.
All right guys, reaction time, discussion time. We're gonna take 10 minutes here and just talk about this. What do you guys think when you hear that? What are some of the thoughts coming to your mind?
Drastic change for jobs opportunities.
That's the reason I'm here. I mean, you got to stay on top of it. You got to be one of the early adopters or else you're going to get left behind.
Yeah, I, I totally agree with that, Clint. I mean, one of the reasons I'm here and my buddy Tim, who took this course from you, I think last week, Tim Hargus. And we talk about how so many people are just burying their heads in the sand. They don't understand it, they just want to ignore it and pretend it's not coming as quickly as it is, or that it's not going to affect them. And you know, one of my largest clients is a precious metals dealer and I'm in their office a couple days a week as their fractional cmo. And I look at the front desk staff, I look at some of the admin people, even my own job, and I'm just like, man, if you don't start doing something now, like I could probably replace most of their administration now or within six months to a year. And I don't think they realize it. If they do, they just don't know what to do about it in the bearing hands. Like everybody on here is here for that reason. Like we all see what's coming. It's like, how do we build that foundation?
What do you do? If you are somebody who just completed a coding boot camp, right? You used to be able to go through like a 12 week, 16 week coding boot camp and come out the other end and get a job for $90,000, right? What, what? That, that Model's broken.
Sure.
You know, my son is 11 and he's had some you know, coding and programming courses and camps and stuff like no more man. It's like dude, you know, let's learn how to play instruments or you know, use your, use your, use your mind. You won't be coding in the future.
I think it's really important what you just said Brandon. I've been speaking with John about this since we really relate on quite a few different levels, variety of life that it seems like these foundational jobs that AI and intelligence can be covering for us that hopefully perhaps it's going to push us more into human inclusion and, and human development which again I have had this burning passion and also sacrificed majority of my life, 40 years literally since I was born in enhancing what is human potential of our creativity. And that will never be created and taken over by AI because I am to my knowledge a real physical human being. And, and so as I. What I am envisioning is that hopefully we will be able to inspire especially these younger generations to see the value of instilling personal skills development, hobbies, creativity, enhancing what the individual can do whether it's athletics, sports, lifestyle, artistry and then hopefully bringing communities back together and realizing how, how important inclusion, humanity, interaction is really needed for the well being of fulfillment of living.
Hope you're right Rebecca. I got a 13 year old daughter and she said to me the other day on this point, well dad, if it's going to do all this stuff for me, maybe I can just do whatever I want to do then. And I was like I hope that's the case baby, still gotta make money.
I hope so.
But it also will mean that the in live interaction of what humans are can do and build skills is going to be elevated. The demands are going to be higher in, in a business aspect. I mean John and I also discussed how I think it's also important just to bring people together in a simple community that's also very fulfilling. So not everyone has to go to that high elite professional status but I love that your daughter mentioned that because how exciting would that be if you can use your time to really expand your own self human potential. And you know that's what I try to give people permission to do already People think I'm crazy but that's what I've done. I've always done a very different trajectory path in my life that everyone said no you can't do that, no you can't do that, that's not your role, that's not what you're supposed to do, society and, or gender. And I have pushed past those limits and I've made everything possible. It doesn't need to be a woman card, but I just happen to be female gender again. I've just been so excited and curious about expanding my knowledge, expanding my expertise. And I hope your daughter will be able to do that more and have the support that actually gives her the permission to say yes, you can do that. You have the bootstraps, so make it happen. But it will take a lot of self motivation. But that's pretty, it's, it's incredible when you push past, past those walls and boundaries. And as well as John's mention that he's also a part of, you know, this advanced elite adventure of kayaking. It's really incredible working with people at any high level status. We understand that is where you really push into that incredible aspect of higher living and what you yourself as a human being can do. And I would love to know, instill that and encourage people to be doing that more.
I think that AI will potentially allow us to do that and I hope that we can get there. That's the big problem here, guys. In the next five years, by 2030, it is estimated, this is not my estimate, it's estimated that roughly 500 million jobs will be replaced by AI the next five years. Think about that. 500 crazy billion jobs, 8 billion people on the planet, not all of them work, right? A lot of kids in there, a lot of, you know, stay at home, moms, dads, whatever. Different, different places. But if you think about that as, as society as a whole, right? I mean, what is that, 25, 30% of the working population? 20, whatever it is, it's something massive that is all of a sudden going to be saying what on earth do we do? Right? Like I know you want to be smarter than the AI, but you're not. AI can out think you legally. It can out crunch numbers as an accountant. It can, it can outright you in music. Even if you don't think it can, it can, it can produce a thousand songs a minute and they will all be good enough to outdo you. Okay? Now does that mean that we should stop writing music and stop making movies and stop, you know. No, absolutely not. Right? There's going to be premiums placed on things that are made and verified, created by humans. That, that type of stuff, right? That type of, you're going to see things like that more and more. You'll have, you'll have as an example, right? You'll have McDonald's that will completely automate AI plus robotics. They are getting rid of their, you know, their $20 an hour, $18 an hour, $14 an hour. People that can't get your order right, they're going to automate that. But then you're going to go to rhe qu and you're going to have a very human focused experience. Right. And so you'll pay cheap. Right? Cheap and accessible. It's going to make things more accessible for more people. More people be able to eat. Right. That's great. Less hunger in the world. Fantastic. And. But you will pay more for the real hands on white glove experience where you are dealing with humans. But guys, what does that do? What does that do when you have 500 million jobs gone? Like the transition is going to be just so painful.
You know, I'm curious about that because how do we motivate individuals to not just take the lazy route? Because we have created a very comfortable society where in reality we don't really need anything else to survive. Elements in our living day to day world. So how do we get people motivated to not be discouraged by these loss of jobs instead of hey, let's be innovative and, and as Justin mentioned about his daughter, excited, maybe I can do things that I want to do. She's a young, curious girl, which is great. But how do we get. Whether the young generation and any generation of life. I see this amount of discouragement, if not depressed when people feel like they have fallen down or no.
I know one way to motivate people and that's take their food away. And the way to do that, the way that that's going to happen naturally.
Is forever and ever. Right.
They're not going to have work.
And that's, you know, my bigger concern in all this is actually the society breakdown that comes with this first. We'll always rebuild.
Yep, yep.
But you take jobs away from hundreds of thousands, millions of people like you're talking about and they can't get another job. I mean I'm in the gold and silver market big time. And so I already live in the whole doom and gloom and all the civil war and the society breakdown and empires collapsing like you are talking about a correction potentially on a massive level of our society that will take years and years to rebuild and put people in really desperate situations unfortunately. And you know what happens when people get desperate and what you got to feed your kid, you got to feed your family.
It'll be it.
Hopefully it won't be that, but I just don't see how it's not. When you're talking about the level of unemployment you're describing and Shopify CEO has come out and said it. Claude, CEOs come out and said it. Those things, things you're saying like 20, 30% of the workforce will be out of work.
It's a scary thought actually, without the doom and gloom. I mean, or to avoid it. I mean, doesn't this mean that, you know, we should all be saying to our kids, hey you, you got to know how to work this stuff because the people that are going to be valuable, the value add that you have right now as an 18 year old is I can do accounting as well as you because I know how to make AI do it for me. I know how to do coding as well as you because I know how to make AI do it for me.
Absolutely. I had somebody reach out to me like a month ago and they said, hey, I see you're talking a lot about AI and tech and stuff. We have this like girls camp coding, you know, this camp thing for, you know, 10 to 14 year olds. Will you post about it on your LinkedIn? You have a great network and it's here in Utah. And I was like, hey, thanks for reaching out. This sounds really cool, but no way are you, do you have an AI course that you're doing? Because I think it's absolutely a waste of time to learn some basic JavaScript, like what the heck are you doing? Teach those kids something useful. How many of you guys have kids that have come home from school or you've heard from their teacher that said, hey, you're not online allowed to use chat GPT on this? Of course.
Yes.
Oh yeah, Almost everybody has, right? I have, my kids are doing that. Right. I have four kids and, and you know, they're, they're relatively young. My oldest is only 12, turning 13. But, but even in sixth grade, seventh grade, he's, he's getting that right and he knows how to do it right. Like he's writing church docs using Chat GPT and you know, I'm working with him on that and how to do it the right way. But the point is our schools are not preparing our kids. They have no idea how to prepare the general population for an AI driven world. Right. The problem is there's no, the transition is happening so fast. Right. Eric Schmidt, Google former CEO there was saying, look, this is in a year. Most programmers, like the vast majority of programmers will be replaced in a year from April. Right. So we're at 10 months left, right. Most programmers will be replaceable. Now there's a lot of programmers that will argue with you on that, that till, you know, till their deathbed. But the results speak for themselves. Right? I, I, I did this. I'm going to show this. I think this is a pretty cool little, pretty cool little thing here. I did this analysis here on what it would take to build Gen aipi. This thing right here that I built. What it would take to build this back in 2020 when I was raising money doing this. Right? What, what it would actually take, okay. 18 months is about what it would take to build out all of the features that I have. Okay. This is what you would, what, what you would pay would be $3.2 million. Whoops. Didn't mean that. $3.2 million to build that out. Here's how that breaks down. You're going to need four developers to do this. Absolutely. Okay.
Just the website.
Yeah. Well, the fully functioning product of Gen ipi. All of the live courses, all of the, the content, right. I mean there's tons of content and modules and all these different things. Content creation, content curation, all of the reports and dashboards and certifications and all of these different things that happen in here. Absolutely. You will take, it's roughly, this, this site right here is roughly 150,000 lines of code, okay. And so I've done a very extensive analysis on this. I know what it costs, I know what it takes to build all of this stuff. You got to have QA in there. This is only half a half time, you know, Project manager, a halftime UI, UX designer, a halftime DevOps engineer, executive oversight. They only gave it 0.1. That's not going to happen. How many CEOs are going to take 30,000 over 18 months to work on that? Right? Sales manager, a marketing manager, content, social media. To get it to the point that it is right now used to take millions of dollars, right? And then you've got all the infrastructure costs and all those different things, right? All of that comes together and you're talking $3 million. I was able to build everything that gen IPI did, you know, up to my point of the launch, right. That where all this analysis was done, I was able to build all of that for less than $400. Right. My replic costs were about $114. And then I had some other things I had to buy. That's like including buying the domain, registering the LLC, like those types of things. Less than $400 in total to start a Business. Which means in order to be cash flow positive, I only have to make $401. Right. I was able to make $15,000 in less than a week. A month later I was up to almost a hundred thousand. I got up to about 85,000 my first month. Okay, that's crazy. I built a business overnight with AI and I had to do. There's so much more just beyond this. Right. There's the sales side of it. There's all these different things that we haven't gotten to to yet. Right. But building just the product that looks professional and feels nice. And if I click on the privacy policy, it works. If I email privacyenaipi.org, it works. Right. Setting up all of these different things and systems and all of that done in a weekend is crazy. We live in a whole new world where you can whip up that kind of thing almost overnight.
That's the interesting thing, is that what you just showed is what you talked about with Mike Page. McDonald's. McDonald's gonna be so much cheaper because now you're not paying for anyone food, but you have Ruth, Chris. And so I think that the value is going to shift. Websites will be pennies.
Yep, a lot.
It's kind of like, you know, the manufacturing revolution where it used to take a dozen people to work on one field. Now you have one person working 20 fields.
Yeah.
What are they doing now? They're either building tractors to help or focusing on other things that we didn't have before. So now we really have to focus on the real value of things like the food, the human interactions. Because what you created, the value doesn't come from just the website. It comes from what you teach is right now you on the other side of the screen sharing this knowledge. And so that enables that interaction. And so like, that's the most important thing. Like, but you were there the other side, like, you know what to talk about. You didn't just like chat GPT like the whole script for three days.
Correct.
It takes work. But like, yeah, that shift of like understanding the value will be interesting.
Absolutely. And here's the thing, Gabriel. I don't think I'm that special. I really don't. Like, yeah, I'm smart and I catch on to things quickly and. And I can teach well and I great. I have experience. But honestly, everybody has something to teach. What most people lack is the ability to unlock it and get it in front of people. They don't know how to make that website. They don't know how you have to Have a product, you have to have an interface, right, that people can interact with in order to extract that value from you. Yes. The real value is the knowledge behind that. Right? It's that knowledge gap. I'm. Right now, I'm teaching you guys, your knowledge is going like this. The real rest of the population staying here. And in this knowledge gap is where you're going to be making tons of money, right. By the end of this course, you guys are going to be so far ahead of everybody else, you're going to be able to. In whatever field you're doing because you have this crazy knowledge gap. With AI, you're going to be able to make way more money than your peers. And that's cool, right? But, but you're exactly right, Gabriel. I'm not this. I, I'm. I'm the special part, but not uniquely special, right? Everyone here has their own specialty, right, that they can do and share with the world. And being able to build that tool that shares that and unlocks that is just incredible. Right? And so, so, yes. And you very, you know, astutely brought up the Industrial Revolution. We're going to talk about some other, you know, big shifts like that, Internet and social media, things like that, PC and the Industrial Revolution and how that applies. But we'll, we'll jump into another conversation later. We have a couple conversations like this that we do throughout the course. But, but I hope, I hope that, you know, keep thinking about this, guys. Keep the thoughts coming. We're going to dive back into some more technical things and more demos, and we're going to get into some. We'll take a break here and go into some agents and show some cool things here. But, but I, I hope it's helpful for you guys to, to think through, you know, what this means, right? For you, for your kids, for society. How are you preparing? You know, there, there are lots of. Of doomsday scenarios around it, obviously. How many people have seen the new Mission Impossible movie that just came out? Anybody? Anyway, that's one scenario that, you know, that plays out with, with AI taking over the world. And there's other ones, right? You can go to the Terminators or other ones, Minority Report. So many, so many fun ways to look at all that. But, but then there's lots of positives, too. It's not all, it's not all doom and gloom, right? It's going to unleash, right, as Rebecca was talking about. And, you know, it's going to unleash hopefully, as long as people have a Way to eat, right. A new, you know, a new renaissance of people where they can really focus on what does it really mean to be human.
John, I just want to add because what you're mentioning is, is really important. I'm not sure how much international travel people have taken in this group, but again, I have not just had international travel travel, but really what the world is like, which is very different than our developed society in United States and Europe. Again, most of the world is billions and billions of people who just live a very differently than what we, how we live. So it's interesting to see the issues and discussions we're having right now. Now it's happening here, but in reality, other parts of the world have just been living and interacting human to human on a very simple level, if not what I would say, very healthy perspectives in life. Now they go through other issues, but if anything, those who have not traveled remotely to see how happy people are because they have these simple human acts, actions and interactions.
That's true, Rebecca, but this is the problem. I've been to those places too. I've been to, you know, I don't know, 40 or 50 countries and I've, you know, I served a mission in Taiwan. I've been to, you know, my, my dad was a mission president in Paraguay. I've been to the people that live in the huts and they're happy and they play, they've got their soccer ball and they don't need Internet. They don't need anything. Absolutely. But what happens when you go from what you live now to that? That's the problem. Right. We can't, we can't just transition to that. That is going to cause world wars.
I agree, I agree. It'll hit us harder than that.
You are right. That, yeah. When you, what does it mean to be human? Yeah, absolutely. You know, it is pretty basic. Right. But how is this civilized society? Not that they're not civilized, but you know what I mean, like this more society where we have, you know, six thousand dollar mortgages and million dollar homes and you know, $100,000 cars and we have infrastructure and all these things, all of a sudden our earning capability drops to zero. Yes. Or, you know, is dramatically replaced or changed. It's going to be big. It's gonna be big time, guys. Okay. So be aware, be aware. The fact that you're just thinking about it and talking about it puts you ahead of most population. That's great. Okay. All right, let's dive in guys. To a couple other things. I, you know, know I really do, like spending time in your apps and working on it. And if you're like, hey, I'm stuck on this. I want to see it. I want you to pull it up and be like, hey, I'm stuck, John, what do I do here? We want to do that. So we'll do some APIs and things like that. We're going to do a couple things really quickly inside of, inside of Replit. One of the things that it's struggling with just a little bit right now is that I'm in a new chat, right? And what happens, remember, guys, with context in Replit, it does not remember your, your chat history. Okay, now we did have this attached asset that we created earlier, right? We have these, we have these documents, this business plan, we have this feature list, and we have this user experience flow. But what we haven't done is put it in a place where Replit can actively be using it in every single conversation. Okay. And so it might be kind of going off the rails a little bit if you don't, if you don't, if you don't pull it back in. So, so here's what we're going to do. We're going to use a, one of these things here. I've got a little fun. Let's hear software and tools and replit, where is it? Right in the middle here. Okay, so we're going to create a. We're going to create a couple files. Now, we've already created in this one, we've created three. Normally I do two. This readme in progress. But basically the readme file is your business plan, right? It's the purpose, goals, mission, monetization, strategy, features of your project. And then you have this progress list that helps it know. Okay, here's what I've done and here's still what we need to do. Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to say please use the attached business plan in attached assets and the attached feature list in the same folder. Create a readme MD file with the business plan and create a progress MD file with the feature list. Don't write any code, just create these documents on the feature list. Create a checkbox system that shows us what we have completed and what we still need to create. Please examine the app and make sure the progress that any file is up to date and add any items, items that might be missing from the list that we've created. Okay, so I will drop this in for you guys to your chat. Now we're going to change it A little bit. So you might want to wait before you send it, but because we've also added in a. Let's see here. Lastly, create a user journey MD file with the journey file run the same, same folder. Okay. So if you guys created that, I'll let you add that little thing and I'll paste that thing in and then what I'm going to do is just go ahead and click go. So what this is going to do, guys, it's going to create, in your root folder here, it's going to create some new documents, these MD documents, which are basically just text documents inside of an, inside of an app. Okay. And you're then going to be able to use them to, to guide the, the AI to do what you need to do at any given time. Right?
Right.
So you'll say, hey, reference these files in every AI interaction. Now, it's not every AI interaction, but every time you start a new chat, right? Every time you click new chat, it's like you just hired a brand new developer. Okay. They don't remember anything, so you got to bring them back up to speed every single time. Now they can look at the code and figure out what's going on, but if you want them to stay on task with your plan and your monetization strategy and everything that's happening there. By the way, you see how my, my thing wasn't doing anything there? There? Yeah. Well, it's just stuck here. Right? Okay. Resume. Do something. Sometimes you can just refresh. It says it's, it's wrapping up its current step. I don't know why it's doing that or what it's doing, but when it's. This isn't.
Mine's doing the same thing. I wonder if they're having a system.
Yeah. Who knows? Who knows? It's possible. That's very possible. You know, this is, this is tech and things go down and there's like a war going on right now and who knows who's trying to hack who. And you know, there's crazy stuff going on. The world replit has gone down in the, in the last six months, it's gone down to where it was completely unusable for a grand total of maybe four hours in the last six months. Right. So it does go down occasionally, but like for an hour I'm like, oh, hey, they're down and I'll check it. And they have a replit outage. Sometimes they'll send an email out or can check their Twitter, but I don't know. I don't know what it's. What it's doing. But here's an important thing. When it's white, when you see the white text here, that means that it has received your message. When it is gray, it has not received this message yet. Right. And it's saying, hey, the agent is wrapping up its current step. We'll respond shortly. Okay, so I'm gonna click refresh on this one more time and see if it works. If it does, great, I'm gonna try pausing it and I'm going to tell it again. Go. Giving it. That should. Man, it should fix that.
Should you click on resume?
Yeah, I shouldn't have to click Resume. When I click Enter and give it something new, it. Yeah, I don't know what it's. What it's doing there. All right, here's what we're going to do. We're going to try something here. I'm going to go like this. I'm going to go apps. I'm going to open up this, and I'm going to say, tell me. Let's see here. Tell me what we can do. Make this better. Don't write any code. Just tell me. Yeah. Agent is paused. Okay, there we go. This doing something. This is a new website I'm working on. No one's seen it except for you guys now, and I guess Rebecca saw it a couple days ago, but you guys are the first people to see it. But anyway, I'm working on a whole new fun thing. I do so many things. Music, entrepreneurship. Anyway, so I'm trying to pull it all together in one thing. All right, so I got the. I got the agent to do something. That's good because it's my agent. I can only have my agent do one thing at a time, Right? If I go to a new project, let's go back to Cougar Companion. And yeah, it just says it's Resume. Okay, I'm just gonna click Resume. I'm gonna let it work. Okay. While it does that, guys, go ahead and just watch. We're gonna do some. So go ahead and send your thing if you've done that. Great. Right. But I want those to show up. And we'll look at them in. In a second as soon as that works. Right now, I want to show you guys a couple more advanced fun AI things out there. Okay? One of them is called Operator. Anybody heard of Operator? Okay. Operator is going to kind of blow your mind a little bit because of what it's able to do. So you could say, I want to see a movie. Tonight with my wife. I want to go to the Geneva Megaplex. Find something that starts around 7 o'. Clock. Let's remind it's 30 minutes. It's fine. Make sure it's not rated R. Okay, so I've given it a little bit of parameters, right. But what it can do is it can now act like a human for me. So you know, Megaplex, you know Larry H. Miller Co. They have not, they have not figured out how to get AI working on their, you know, website yet. Okay, so no big deal. Well, let's use an AI operator that can find or that can do stuff for me, right? So what operator can do is it can operate, it can click, it can fill out fields, it can sign up, it can do things, right? And so right now what it does is it opens up a browser on a private thing. It's actually extremely private. You can put your own, you know, you can put your Social Security number in here and it's totally fine. It's an encrypted session that is turned on on a computer and it's a session that is actually saved for you only. Right. And so you can, you could for example log into your Delta account and it will stay logged in in for you or remember your credentials or log into Netflix or you know, a lot of other things. Right. So what it's doing is it's looking around, trying to find some times now what I will say is this guys operator, at least in my opinion is. So it's in beta. It's in beta very much. And I would even almost call it Alpha. Yeah, you've been blocked to showtimes.com. why is that? It's weird. It's not I've been blocked, but it's been blocked. ChatGPT has been blocked some somehow that's kind of weird. It's possible that there are a few sites out there. I've seen that happen just a couple times. It's possible there are a few sites out there that don't want AIs interacting with their site. And it's possible that it's like trying to avoid bots, which I get Right, I understand that. But the point of what this is able to do is it's able to go in and it's able to find, you know, it's able to figure out all kinds of fun things for you without you having to do it. But it's not, not faster than you. Any of us could have done this better. We would have already found the Megaplex thing. We would have already scrolled down, we probably would have picked our movie by now. I also didn't give it any specifics. And so it's going to look through, it's going to think. It's going to consider for a while, and it's probably going to think more than you would. Okay. But it's compiling, it's scrolling for this, it's looking around, but eventually it will click. It knows it's me and my wife, and so it knows it needs two tickets. It will get to a point where it then says, hey, I need you to check. Check. Or I want you to, you know, put in your credit card information. Now, I could have given it all of my credit card information here or given it my login information for Megaplex that already has my credit card saved. Right. And then I could have just said, hey, buy the tickets. Tell me when it's done. Don't talk to me until it's done. Right. Because otherwise it will come back and be like, hey, do you want to do this or do you want to do this? Or do you want to do this? You know? Anyway, so I've given it just a couple parameters. So don't make it rated R. Do this. Yeah, here we go. So here we go. Here's some of your things. Let's do how to train your dragon on imax. Don't talk to me again until you are ready. You can give it instructions like that. Now, this is going to get better. This is going to get much, much better over time. And there's actually several, several things that you can do to several other agents that are more powerful than operator. But you can start to kind of see how incredibly powerful this will be when you can just put an agent to work for you and have it go do it. I'm not sure why it's struggling right here. I don't. This doesn't feel like a chatgpt thing. This might be offending over a Megaplex thing. It shouldn't. Yeah, it looks like it clicked it and then it just says, hey, it's not working right now. But anyway, we'll let that keep going for a minute. I'm going to pull up another one while this is. While this is working and trying to figure things out. But this is the kind of thing where you're like, hey, do this. And then you, you know, you go work out, right? And it might take you a few minutes, but you can have it go book, you know, a tea time for you. You can have it book, you know, whatever you need it to do. There, there's a site, a site that just came out. I think I screenshotted it on my phone that will check for you. You can basically program it to do this kind of a check for you every, you know, every few hours or every few minutes if that's what makes sense. Right. If like if you're trying to buy tickets to something, you just want to, you know, make sure that you're on right at the right time and you want it to kind of work for you. There's a new site. I might have not screenshotted it. I read it the other day on one of the posts that. That's out there. Scouts. Yeah, that's what it's called. It's called Scouts. Where do I find it? Scouts AI. I want to just look at it. We'll just explore it with you guys really quick because it's similar to this. Get work with done. Yeah. AI Assistant for so openers. Content creators Web search generation Render web with ui. Yeah, I still haven't even played with this. I don't even know how to do it right. It looks like it can do a few things there. I'm pretty dang sure that is the one. Might be a different, different one. It might be Scout co. Nope, that's different. That's different. Scouts. Utori. Utori AI. It also might not be available yet. Utori AI. Give me the website. Product watch preview. There you go. Yeah, so they don't quite have it ready yet.
We're innovating.
Yeah. Yeah. So it's not quite available yet. But I saw this. They announced it, but basically. All right, let's skip forward through all this stuff.
We've all got better things to do. Spend all our time on these everyday tasks online. With Scouts you can have agents monitor the web for anything you care about. My friend wants me to book a tennis court, but sometimes they can be hard to find. Instead, I can create a Scout to monitor for availability at my favorite tennis court. And Scouts notifies me when it finds one. For Monday at 7:30. Say you're looking for new two bedroom apartment listings in your neighborhood. You can have Scouts monitor and notify you when they're available. If you want to track news about your work, favorite sports teams, politics, or want a wholesome story on the Internet to be sent to you every day before bed, Scouts can send you a daily digest of all the news and discussions you want. And it's not something that takes over your device. It's like having a team of hundreds of agents working in parallel. All Happening behind the scenes on the cloud.
Cloud.
And that's just a start. Soon, Scouts won't just let you monitor and gather information, but also act on that information. Scouts is a web monitoring assistant built for fast paced lives to give you more space to focus on what's meaningful to you, to give your life a little more balance, a little more deterring.
All right, so guys, that's pretty cool. I'm excited about that. I don't know about you guys, but I'm really excited about, about having time to. Yeah, these are just not working right now, so I don't know why Operator isn't working. Let's try, let's try a new chat here. I want to try just something else. Go to and take the AI Predictor. The free. Whoops. AI Predictor Mastery Predictor test. Yeah, I'll just say AI Predictor test. Talk to me until you've finished. Okay, so we'll let it work on that. See if it can take my, you know, thing on my site. We'll see if it actually works. Right now we're going to bounce over to Manus. Okay. Manus guys, is like magic. Okay. Oh, so cool. Scheduled tasks, routine and repetitive work every time elevate productivity. Yeah, that's pretty cool. So you can do this on Chat GPT as well. Guys, there's a couple things you can do. So for example, you go to ChatGPT and you could say, let's get out of this. Let's go to new chat over here and say every. Let's see. Please, please create a meal plan for my family for this week. Do this every day or sorry, every week in the future. On Sunday and at, at 7:00pm, send me a shopping list for everything we'll need by Monday morning. Okay, so this is called a recurring task or a scheduled task. Chat GPT can do this. The plus version can do that. Right? It can't send the message and it actually kind of can. It will send you a notification on your phone, on your app. If you have the ChatGPT app, it will send you a notification of, hey, this is done. So what it's going to do here to get started, Please confirm. Right, so I would answer these questions and then I would have it do that and you can even hook it into an automation tool to have it actually run that script and do that. But bottom line is you can ask it to just do that. Manis is clearly introducing tasks as well. Now one of the things I like about Manis is its ability to replay things that it's done. So you can come here and look at. Why is this not working? Refresh. Why are none of the sites. I don't want. I don't want the login I want. There we go. All right. Okay, so let's see here. Let's look for. Just kind of reading through some of these dynamic teaching web page for quantum computing for me. That's kind of fun. We'll view the replay of this, right? So basically it just says, hey, create a dynamic teaching web page for quantum computing for me. And then it will replay, it will show everything that happened here. I'll show you a couple other ways I've used it, right? But what it's going to do is it's going to spin up again. Chain of thought reasoning. It's going to spin up a task list of all the things it needs to do in order to make this happen. And it will even continue to update that task list as well as it goes, as it finds new things to do. But you can see it's, it's marking off those X's, right? And saying, hey, I did this, I did this, I did this, I need to do this. And it's creating something that's pretty cool, right? So I'm going to skip to the results all the way to the end here. And now what it did is it created a website here that's going, that's, you know, that helps you learn about the quantum world, right? Start learning. Cool. Let's start the module. Look at all this stuff, right? I can read all this stuff. I can click through these things. Okay, next module. Let's do that. Right? So it did all of this. It designed all of this, created a website with one single very basic prompt. Interactive lab. Cool. Allows me to move these different things. I don't know what these mean yet because I haven't, I haven't done the, you know, I've done the modules, right? I can do circuit builders. It built all this stuff with one prompt. Guys, I don't even know what this, what this means, right? Run circuit. No measurement gates. I don't know what that means. Algorithm visualizer. I don't know. Cool.
Play little big brain stuff right there.
Big brain stuff here. So I don't know how to do quantum stuff, right? I, I am fascinated by it. I actually understand it a little bit, but I don't know what it's talking about on a lot of these things. Okay, so pretty cool. But the point is it built an entire website with one prompt. Okay, here's another thing. Let's let's, let's click on another one here. I want to show, I want to actually show one of mine in a second here. But, but I want to do. Let's go productivity. Create documentation. Yeah, creating documentation. Like there's so many things you could do. Here's an example of something I could do, guys. And I posted this Yesterday on, on LinkedIn. I have a recording of every single YouTube video that I've done. Every, every, every single class I've done. Right? And it's just a YouTube video, right? It's an unlisted YouTube video. And I can give Manus my list of all of the YouTube videos. It can then run something to, to extract all the text from it, summarize it all, Create learnings, create a frequently asked questions and all these different things that happen inside of this. I can have it create incredible amounts of content for me. Me with one prompt. Okay. Unbelievable. There's another one that I wanted to show that does some audio stuff because I think, I mean, understanding what it can do, guys, really, really opens some doors for you. Beat based video cycler. Come on. Content creator. Maybe it's content creator. I want to find an audio one. Just give me a second here, guys. Dynamic dashboard, periodic table. That's a podcast studio plan. That's not what I want. Yeah, they don't have it in here. They used to have one right here that was really, really awesome. It was like related to podcasts and it would like cut it. So what it would do is it would actually listen to the podcast. It would, it would break it up, it would edit it, but it can spin up almost anything you can imagine. It doesn't just do text based stuff, right? It can do video, it can do audio, it can do anything you need it to do. So here, let me show you a couple ways I've actually used it. So here's here. This was a crazy one. So one of the things we'll talk about tomorrow, guys, more is security, right? Like you got to be careful with what you're doing. You can't put out API keys. You gotta be careful with, you know, personal information, especially if you're dealing with things that are sensitive data. You gotta do all of that, right? But AI is very capable of building secure things. You just have to know how to direct it and how to make it, you know, to, to check it, right? To see, to make sure that it's working. Right. So I had, I had Manis go through and do a complete security audit of Gen aipi and it Came through and it built out this. Hold on, let's see this. Wait for it. Comprehensive report. Boom. I had IT build a website for me as well. I said, hey, just put in a website so I can, I can see this. So this was the Gen AI security analysis. Here were all the things. Here's some vulnerabilities, security performance, usability recommendations, things that need to be done. Here's high priority stuff, medium priority stuff, low priority stuff. Overall assessment, I'm pretty good. Nothing's critical. But yeah, there are a few things that you can do, right? You can work on this, right? And it was able to go through and run all kinds of tests. It used all kinds of websites to run tests against it, load speed, all of these different things and figured out, okay, hey, this is pretty awesome. You did, you've done a great job here with Jenny API. And really it's because I've just, I've gotten really good at, you know, teaching my AI to do it it. But MAN has built out this entire thing. Do you know how much, guys, it costs to pay a security firm to do this for you? It's 10 to $20,000, right, to run a security audit. This, you know, with, with this complex of a report, right? And, and here's the comprehensive report, right? I can, I can actually see the full report. It's 12 pages long, right, of all these security recommendations. And here's everything. And it's all nicely formatted and it's ready to go. Go. I can have it build a pitch deck for me, you know, I can have it do anything that I want and it will create it in exactly the style you need at exactly the quality you need. If it's not perfect, you can have it, you know, tell it, hey, let's change this. Let's fix this. Really, really crazy. So I had somebody reach out to me on LinkedIn and said, hey, if I took your class, could I. You know, one of the things I'm trying to do is get, you know, all this h. Like I work with hoas and I have a product for them and I want to be able to, to, you know, automate some, some outreach to them. But, you know, there's this Utah HOA registry and it's available, it's public information, but you have to look up, you have to look it up like one letter at a time and, or like one, you know, and then you can't see any of the info. It's not all here. You can't just download it, right? So you have to like Click on it. And then you go in. And then here's all the information. There's the, you know, there's the email address, there's the phone number. Here's all this stuff. And he's like, yeah, can I create something that could help me, like, extract all that out? And I was like, yeah, but watch this. Hold my beer. And so I just like, I'll be back in a couple hours. And I. I had it. I just basically said this, Bo, this is a big. A big, big, big one. I'm gonna go to the very top. I'm just going to show you my prompt. I literally copied the question that somebody had asked me on LinkedIn. Wow, that was long. Right, here's what you do. You can only put one letter in search reporting that has that letter when it pulls up. List of matches, you can click on each one individually. See the data, right? Eliminate duplicates. Provide a long and detailed CSV of all. So all I did was take his thing and I said, okay, I want something to pull the data into a spreadsheet. Eliminate duplicates. Provide a long and detailed CSV of all of this information. And so it took about 30 minutes and it got to the end here and it said, the current task context has reached its limit and cannot continue. Manas can inherit the compressed context and all files into a new task to proceed. So I clicked inherit and continue. Did it again, did it again, did it again. Boom. Now I have all names, registration date, HOA number, address, state, primary phone, primary contact, chair phone, email. I did it. I sent him the document. I said, here you go. He's like, holy crap, can I pay you for this? I was like, that's on me. So anyway, I, I hope that by showing you some of these, some of these ideas. Here's a crazy one. Here's a crazy, crazy one. So any of you guys ever worked in construction? So for anybody who's ever been around construction, you can, you can imagine, right? One of the things that's really hard, that takes a long time is creating bids, right? As you get what, what happens is you'll say, okay, Payson needs to build this new tech park, right? And so they say, okay, hey, here's, here's this. You know, Let's see if I can find the file. Payson Tech. It's really a complicated thing. It's really quite complicated to be able to pull this together because you get these, all these diagrams and all these different things. Why is this not working? Okay, so you, you get stuff like this, okay? And this is crazy, right? Especially, I mean, for a human to read. Obviously, for an AI to read, it's still hard, okay? But it's got all these different measurements of all these different things, and you have to be able to go through and know, okay, hey, we need 10 inches of storm drain here, and we're doing this. And that's going to go from here to here, and that's going to be this length. And, you know, here's all this stuff. Here's the legend. You know, there's a lot of work. So you have to do something called a takeoff in a. In a complex document like this. It takes somewhere around 15 to 20 hours for a human that's pretty smart, using specialized software to go in and extract all of the data that you need in order to put together a construction bid, right? So here's what I did. Did. The first thing I did was I said, okay, here's this document. Do a takeoff, right? It's called a takeoff when you pull the information off, okay? And. And then put it into. Into a bid format as a do a takeoff. It tried to do the takeoff, and it was way off. So I said, okay. And I talked to my buddy who was, you know, who. Who had asked me to see if I could do this right. Neighbor, owns a construction company. I said, give me a. A bit. A, you know, some plans, and then give me the correct completed takeoff with your bid, right? And then I went in and I said, okay, Manus, here is. Let's see. Let's see if this is. Maybe I have to go here. Go to the very top man. It's not even showing, but that's okay. I remember what I said, but I basically said, look, I want you to take this. This thing, and I need you to create something that can create a takeoff bid for construction. And I want you to then do it on your own. And then I want you to compare it to the actual bid. I need it to look like this, and I need to make sure that the calculations that you're doing are matching the ones that are in here. So you're going to have to do it. Check it, do it, check it, do it, check it. And the first time it went through it, it was like 99.6% off, like, not even close. I was like, okay, I need to make some adjustments. Okay, I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna do this. I said, okay, great. Finally it figured it out. And then I said, okay, great. I want you to give me all of the software and Python scripts and everything that you used to create that. Then I took it from Manus into here and I had it build. All I did was drag in a bunch of different. Yeah, this is it right here. Plan measure. I had it drag in a bunch of different Python scripts, right? The app, PY database, PY measurement tools. All of this stuff was created by Manus after doing all of its guess and checks and you know, honing in something that actually works. And then I just took it all and I said, repl it make an interface for this, right? I don't know why the interface isn't loading. Here it is. Okay. I don't know what happened there. Anyway, there it is. But you. Anyway, project management. You create a new project, right? Hey, this is my construction project number two, right? Create project. Okay, awesome. Then I go, so it's been created successfully. I've got a database, it's saving all these different things. Okay. And then I go into the PDF upload section here. Okay, Now I'm going to drop this in limit 200 megabytes per file, right? Great. Then we're going to do a scale calibration. So I have to manually upload it and like select on the page is. It takes a couple minutes to do it. But now something that used to take 20 hours, guys, now takes my construction buddy 20 minutes. That's crazy, right? So I'm just sharing examples so you guys can then extrapolate and think forward to how would I use this? How would I, how would I automate different things that I'm doing? But using AI tools in conjunction, have this one do all the thinking and testing and iterating and Manus can take two hours to do something, four hours to do something. Usually it finishes most ass in 15 to 20 minutes, but it can, it can take multiple hours to do things sometimes depending on how complex it is. And. And then it can give you basically whatever you need it to do. And it can use any tool that's out there, right? If I say, hey, here is my, here's my credentials for this database or this, you know, my CRM or whatever it is, right? I need you to go in, I need you to extract all this stuff. I need you to do this. I need to run reports, I need to write emails, I need you to open up this really, really cool. Another system that can do this, guys, where you could again combine multiple things together. One of the cool things that Runner H can do right now, and it's a very popular experience in a lot of traffic is it can connect to your Google Docs and your Google Calendar and your drive and Gmail and Notion and Slack and Google Sheets and Zapier. Right? So you could go and you can say, hey, I need you to go into my email, find any, you know, sales related email, write a response and put it in my drafts. Okay, here's all the information that you need to know about. About whatever, right? Here's the information about the company, here's whatever. Use the context of the email and all this information I give you to write good responses to all of these things. Then, you know, you come back 20 minutes later and you've got 50 emails written up. You can review the draft. Yep, send. Yep, send. Oh, and we're gonna edit that a little bit. Send, send, right? You can speed up your process dramatically or if you trust it, you could say just send them. Right. Send, receive and manage emails seamlessly from within the app. And then, guys, you can connect this app here which allows you to do anything. Now you can connect anything to anything and create unbelievable automation. So Runner H, guys, big time, honest. I have only watched videos of Runner H so far. It's brand new. I signed up for it a week ago and I, I haven't had time to sit down and play with it yet. Manus, I've used lots. I use it all of the time. Is one of my core, one of my core subscriptions. I pay, I pay like 30 bucks a month for it or something like that. I don't know what it is. Right. But it's not, it's not very much. Right. And they have a. Yeah, 39. There you go. Right. They have a pro version that gives you more credits, things like that. But I'm telling you guys, you're doing stuff here that, that should cost you. And that used to cost you tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and now it costs tens. Right? Or hundreds maybe if you're doing something crazy. The, the scale has just absolutely changed. Okay, questions about any of these automation tools, guys.
How do you learn all this stuff? Because like you're teaching us all of this, but like, how do you find Manus? How did you create all of this? Because we can duplicate it, but like, you must have learned it somewhere. And I think that's where the value is. Like long term we can learn it from you, but like next week there will be another tool that we can use. And so like, yeah, you know where.
I learned, you know where I learned most of my stuff, guys? Instagram and X. I was gonna say Twitter.
But.
Wow. Yeah. Watch this. Let's just click on X. Let's just go home. We'll go to my home. Right, Right. Random. We'll see whatever pops up here. Okay. We got Elon talking about stuff. Random things. Whatever. Let's see if I can find something. Man, so much Donald Trump crap. There's wars going on, and so that's filling up most stuff right now. This. I. I don't normally go this far without seeing AI stuff. Normally I see tons of AI stuff already. I don't know why I'm not seeing any here. But there's. Man, I want. I really want to find one of these things. Things. But there's really, really great. Man, I don't understand. If I go to my X on my phone, I don't ever do it on. On, on. I don't ever do it on my computer. I'm never on X on my computer unless I'm going to grok. Okay. I'm just. I'm just curious if I'm seeing different things because I'm on my phone now. Yeah. Not a lot of AI news today. I'm seeing something similar, but that's okay. Right now, obviously, I follow things and I'll just kind of scroll through and I'll click on something, but oftentimes I'll find where it's like, hey, here's the roundup of all the new things that happened this week. Right? Hey, these guys came out with this new model. These guys came out with this new model. The other place where I know I will find my information guys is Instagram. Okay? So Instagram, you've got the Genpi Institute. If you just go. And, I mean, you can follow me. I. I don't post a lot on it, obviously. I. I just don't. I probably should and I probably will when I get around to it, but I just haven't needed to. It's just kind of there as a placeholder almost. Right. But click on the people that I'm following. This is what matters. Okay. I love Metaverse. I love Aluna AI chatgpt tricks. Right? Like all of these things, guys. Like, let me just click on. Let me just click on, like, Metaverse here. So a lot of these things will just say, you know, obviously they're kind of doing news all over the place. Right, Right. But like, Google DeepMind just changed Hurricane forecasting forever. Right. And so, yeah, it's using AI to do this, and it created a new model that's now way more accurate. Very cool. Okay. Apple stuff. Humanoid Robots bromance is over. Irs. This guy's expanding a little bit. But. But, yeah, here you go. Here's Runner H. Boom. This new AI agent is like a futuristic version of ChatGPT that does the work for you, right? Connects to that. I don't know why we can't hear audio. There should be audio there. Yeah, Normally talks. But anyway, the point is it. It does, you know, create an ad strategy, do all these things, and then it can write to your Google Drive for you. Email assistant, content, gold mining, job applications, reservations handled, productivity assistant, et cetera. Right? Runner H is super, super awesome. But, guys, I have basically just a, you know, a group of different. I really like a Luna as well, a group of different things that I see. And this one is really all about AI. This is less about, like, you know, whatever AI generated content. Disney filing lawsuits against Mid Journey, which we're going to open in a second here. You know, Instagram AI tool. You know, all kinds of stuff. All kinds of stuff happening. But I learned about these new tools, and then what I do. This is the bigger thing, Gabriel, is, you know, it says 11 labs.
This is the most expressive AI voice.
It's so damn good that I'm a. But then I go, try it. That's the big thing, right? When I'm like, oh, that's super cool. Well, what's 11 labs? Right? I know exactly what 11 labs is. We're going to do it tomorrow. It's amazing. I use this everywhere. I'll show you some cool things I've built with it. But this is how you turn your voice into AI or, you know, other. Other voices into AI. And they just launched this new thing. But he was talking about is that you can now give it instructions, right? Instead of whispering, you can see shouting here. We'll do the. We'll do the whispering, right? Play.
In the ancient land of Eldoria, where skies shimmered and forests whispered secrets to the wind.
All right, so now I could change this to shouting.
In the ancient land of Eldoria, where skies shimmered and forests whispered secrets to the wind.
It should have. It should have. It should have done that. Maybe I might not be in a place where I can actually change this right now, because this is kind of a demo on the front end, but you can go in and you can change crazy things. You can change it to like a, you know, a French accent. You know, you can do all kinds of really fun things like that. In the actual. In the actual. We're not gonna. We're not gonna keep going right now on this, but 11 Labs is in.
The ancient land of Eldoria, where skies shimmered and forests whispered secrets to the wind.
Yeah, it's not listening to me right now, but 11 Labs is awesome. But I. And I didn't learn about it here. I've actually known about 11 labs about a year, but I learned about V3 right where Trump is. Yeah, it's in an announcer style, right? Talking about, you know, Trump versus Musk, Whatever. Cool. Okay. So. So anyway, I go through, I look at it. If I'm like, hey, I think I could probably use that, then I'll go try it really quick. And then I hone in on, you know, 5, 6, 7, 8 platforms that I really like and use a lot. Okay. So that's really what it is. But follow. Go to. Go to my Gen AIPI and. And just follow the accounts there. Right? And turn your. Turn your Instagram into a more useful experience. All right, guys, let's jump. Any more questions about any of these agents? Right, There's a lot that we played with. Hey, hey, look, it actually did. Went and completed my test. I wonder how it actually did. So it would have gone through. This means I'm on the page now where, you know, you enter your username to get your score, right? This is part of my. My conversion funnel, right? You get a free test. Hey, how smart are you? How. What's your aiq? Right? And then, hey, enter your email to get your score. It's free. You just create a free account. Boom. Oh, hey, you got 100 out of 100. It would have. Right? 12 out of 12 would have got 100% on this. So, anyway, operator did work. I don't know why. It was struggling with some of that movie stuff earlier today. I'm not sure what's going on there. Manus, I use all the time. I'm really excited, actually, to. To actually connect Runner H. I've signed up for it. This is my account, but I just haven't. I haven't clicked the button to get in there, and I need to figure out which account I'm going to do it on and which things I want it to be able to look at. So I'm not going to do this right now, but I'm very excited to start playing with it. Right, but you got to play with it. That's the only way you can learn it is you just got to play with it. Okay. All right, guys, let's go back to Replet here for a minute. I'm going to bounce back into my cougar companion thing, which definitely needs some work. Okay, it finally finished that, the jwt. Okay, so now I'm going to give it this. All right, now it finally got this message. Please use the attached business plan, etc. And make it work. Okay, so I wanna. We're gonna sit here and let this go for a second while it does that. While, while it's working on that. Guys, I want to talk a little bit about the usage. Right now I've clicked on the use. There's this little button or this little like icon speedometer or whatever thing here that opens up the usage page. When you click on that, it pulls you over into here. And I'm gonna talk a little bit about how you get charged for. For replit. Right now I have a couple special things. One is I get $50 per month instead of 25 per month that you guys get. The reason for that is because I'm a special insider at replit and I, I wasn't a special insider until I started doing all this and they kind of heard about it and they contacted me and now there's like a big thing coming out. Their CEO was talking about me the other day and anyway, they're using me as a good example of how to use replit, right? So that's cool. So I get some free credits from it. I'm not getting paid anything other than free credit, so whatever. But the point is, as you, you use these credits as you use the agent, right? So every single time a checkpoint happens. Let's see if I can find a checkpoint. I don't know why the checkpoint isn't showing up here. There should be checkpoints. You guys should see checkpoints that show 20. Maybe it's history. Maybe they moved it to history. Yeah. Yeah. Well, every time it does a certain number of things, right? And it's all based on context. So based on how much a. How many AI credits are used or API credits are used, I should say. Okay, you can, you can see that it, it will. It will do that and it will, it will use 25 cents per checkpoint. And it's all. Again, all based on how much text it does. I'm going to talk about this for a second. While we're, while we're, while we're doing this, we're going to go into the OpenAI API pricing, the way that you get charged for APIs with AI credits, right? Whether it's Chat, GPT or Claude or GROK or whatever it's based on Token usage, right? Or credits usage they'll call it sometimes to make it a little more user friendly. But a token is basically a word. Okay. And so, you know, think about that, right? So right here, this is a word. My, my words count too. It has to read my words, right? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 30, 14, whatever. Right? So this is maybe 25 words here. And that's going to cost me as I, as I use it and talk to it, it's going to cost me $0.40 per million tokens, right? And then as it answers back a 160 per million tokens. Now a million tokens is a lot, guys, right? It, it really is quite a bit. But in going through and writing 150,000 lines of code for gen IPI, yeah, I went through $114 of credits, right? Most apps. I bet you my total usage on this one. In fact, we can look at it exactly. My total agent usage for. Let's look at this really quickly here. Outpost X Amira Assistant Edit requests. You know what, guys, I might be in a special weird world of replit because I'm in this beta thing for them. And so it might not be showing exactly what it's supposed to be showing, but you should be able to look at and see. Oh, here we go. Here's BYU team tracker. That, that worked. Okay. But I've, I've done a total of one checkpoint. That does not sound right. I mean, maybe it's right, but it doesn't sound right. I should be. Normally at this point I should be up to about A$25 of usage. Right. Which is obviously crazy cheap. Right. But anyway, so that's what it's doing though. It's using API credits, right. Or tokens. Right. It's measuring your usage. Okay. And so right here. And, and by the way, the, the, the agent, the AI that is underneath replit is Claude. Okay. So anthropic is beautiful. Claude Opus 4 is what is being used in Replit. Every time you're talking to the agent, you're talking to an instance of Claude Opus 4. Okay? It's talking to you and doing stuff. Now when you ask it to do something, it's going to cost money. Once you get up to a certain amount of usage, it charges you a Credit. Right. Or 25 cents a checkpoint. Right. You can roll back checkpoints and different things like that. Okay. But bottom line is that's, that's what it's doing. Now let's look at. So remember we had These pasted, you know, the, the business plan here, we've got the feature list here, the user experience flow and it looks all weird and ugly, right? But because I asked it to turn it into some MD files, here's now my readme, here's my cougar IQ business plan. Okay, here's what it does. Mission statement, vision statement, problem statement, solution, core features. All of these different things are now in here, right? It's awesome. So it understands exactly what I'm trying to do now. It understands things. Then I can look at my progress. What's it done? Countdown timer, next to game time, game time, opponent view, height meter. We haven't done that yet. Right. Live game companion. And it's checked off all of these different elements that I, that we've created, right. There's still a lot that we need to do. Lots of things need to be fixed. But you know, a lot of, you know, it says here like historical team and player performance, DB database, right? Fan sentiment, pulling input system, real time data feed parsing time, possession turnovers. So it's built a bunch of stuff here that I don't even know it's built. That's crazy, right? And I can't, by the way, click on these, I can't check these myself or whatever, right? But if it's built some of this stuff, I can't see all of this stuff. Right? But it does a good job actually going through and showing what has actually been done. And you can even ask it, you can say, hey, I'm actually going to ask right now. Can you double check that all of the checked items in the progress MD file have actually been created. If they have not, update the check marks accordingly. All right, so now I'm going to have a look at the progress MD file. And then we created this extra user journey MD file. Okay. And now when I'm talking to it, I can say, all right, please reference the readme MD in progress MD files and familiarize yourself with the project. Now let's work on X. Okay, So I use that all the time in here, right? I'll just copy that and I'll drag it in here and I'll say, okay, Based on these guidelines, how can we make the. The root page? Let's just be like your homepage, right? Better. Feels like it just gets right into the action. Actually, you know what, I'm actually not going to change that. I'm actually going to keep that. Can we work on next? Just say that, okay, now it's, it's going through and Examining the code base and making sure that the progress enemy file is in fact actually exactly right. It might be. It might already be fine. But. But I'm just curious. I'm just curious what it does here. Okay, I've successfully updated. Removed check mark from opponent preview, corrected a couple things, updated it. That's pretty good. Okay, but it was wrong, right? It did a couple things that were just a little bit. A little bit off. Okay. Kind of weird. All right, so now I've asked it to familiarize itself. Pasting these guys we can work on next. Okay. Hey, let's complete the live game experience. Let's do this. Let's. Let's get an API. Let's pull in live game data through an API. Okay? We're going to teach you guys APIs really quick. That's. We're gonna. That's what we're gonna do next. So having these progress and remake guys, don't forget about these. It's easy to just kind of throw them in there and then get to work. And then, like, you go two days, you don't ever reference them. Bring it up. Right? And you also have to tell it. It will not automatically update it unless you tell it to. So you have to say, hey, please examine the project. Look at everything we've done. Get the progress MD file up to date. Right? So that you can keep track of it and so that your team, your developer team here, your replit team, can keep track of it. All right, I'll implement live game data integration.
