Cohort 6 - Day 3 - 4/17/2025

John leads a cohort session on leveraging third-party platforms like Manus and Replit while protecting your work through backups. The group discusses AI's speed of change, job displacement, and AGI concerns, then demos agentic tools for automation and accounting.
Chapters
Started. There it goes. Okay.
Yeah. And if you don't mind, I'm going to do mine as well because.
Go ahead.
I love the transcription and bullet points it gives me.
Yeah, yeah, please do that. If you don't mind. Curtis, if you wouldn't mind forwarding those to either the group or just to me. Yeah, those are super.
Yesterday it wasn't functioning because of the change that Zoom made, but I'll forward the first days and I'll put this one.
Got it now. That's great. Yeah, those, those notes, I can, I actually have a tool that can pull the transcription out of the video and then I can have AI summarize it, you know, so I have other ways to do it, but it's nice to have a couple, couple versions of it.
You didn't record yesterday, did you?
I did. I did.
Awesome.
Yeah, yeah, I recorded. I just didn't. I know, I know. The day before I sent out, you know, I got it out quickly yesterday. I just didn't have time. I finished up and it's all right.
Don'T worry about it.
And I had to, we had dinner really quick and then I had to go do some shopping for a holiday this Sunday, so.
So I'm going to be pulling out stuff from these recordings a year from now too. So if it's a few days, I don't mind.
Awesome. No, they'll all be done by tomorrow for sure. So that's part of the, you know, housekeeping items from, you know, the beginning here go over just a couple of those after, after the course is over, you know, enjoy the night. I'm going to enjoy the night and just say, okay, I'm done with another week of talking so much. And you know, it's 24, it's 24 hours of talking. You know, really, really adds up. So I'm take a break and then tomorrow I'll get up and one of the things I will get done before the end of the day is I will send a follow up email to everybody. There's Hunter. I'll send a follow up email. And in that follow up email we'll have a few things. One will be recordings of this, you know, of all three sessions. Right. So just nice YouTube links. Those YouTube links are unlisted, right. So they're private. You can only see them if you, if you have the link, obviously, please don't share those around. You know, that, you know, that's, that's kind of some IP and, and sometimes there's private discussions and things we want to Keep in here. And so let's just keep those to yourselves, but use them as much as you want. Watch them as much as you want. I have no plan on taking them down. It's possible at some point I'll pull them over and host them within my own system that I build or something like that. But at the moment I'm using. I'm surfing on YouTube. I'm surfing on YouTube, right. I'm using their services and not having to build my own system to host video. And video is a big thing to host, right? I mean the files are big, the file storage is expensive and so bandwidth is a lot. Yep, yep. So, so anyway, so you'll, you'll have those links. You'll also have the. And welcome Hunter, by the way.
Thank you.
Welcome to day three. You'll also get a link to the folder that has all kinds of stuff and I've shared it before, but I'll just share my screen again really quickly and I'll just kind of walk you through it really quick because I think it is worth taking just a second. But inside of this folder you have a bunch of software and tool guides, right? A couple of these we're going to go over today, the coding, quick start. We went over that. We'll go over mastering Replit today possibly, probably. We'll probably go over the security guide and there's a lot of just good, good, you know, things in here. This software tools document just shows you all the different, you know, pieces of software. Stripe, GoDaddy, Google Domains, ChatGPT, Design.com a lot of the stuff that I go over in the course and I show you how I built a business in three days. It is not all inclusive, I guarantee you. There's things I've showed you that are not on that, you know, so, you know, I use a lot of different tools and a lot of tabs and a lot of things to, you know, pull, pull ideas together and, and I don't think it's necessary for me to include every single software that I mentioned in that list. These are the main ones and quite frankly you should just explore and you know, be curious and find, find other tools that, that are helpful. There's some overviews and advanced workflows and a couple, couple other just random things that I use that may or may not be useful for you. Right. This is the story of building a business in a weekend. This was actually my story, how I did it, how I, you know, brought it to life. And a lot of the, you know, some, anyway, some Good thoughts around some of that. So you'll have access to this folder. And, and again, please don't share these things outside of, you know, this group and we'll be good. And then, you know, a few more instructions. I'll include that link to the Facebook group if you're not in it yet. If you want to join, you know, lots of good discussions happening in there and then just a couple, I'll ask for a review and if you want to give it, I love to hear negative things or things I can improve on. Those are helpful. Don't feel like you're offending me. If you have something I can do a little bit better. Hey man, I wish we would have gone deeper on this thing. Share that with me. And of course, if you have good things to say, I always love to have reviews that I can share on LinkedIn. Hey, so and so said this and it's great and I'll tag in it and all that kind of stuff. So just a few follow up things. The last thing I'll say is I will and I think I probably mentioned it in the group, but if you have friends or colleagues or family members or people at your business or anybody that you want or that you recommend this to and they sign up, number one, I'll pay you a hundred dollar referral fee for each person that signs up. So that's awesome. And then number two, you are welcome to, if you want, take the course again with them for free. Okay. So you know, you don't have to. It would be going through the same thing over and over again. So you, you, you might not want to do that, but the course I finished this morning, out of 11 people on there, I think five of them said they're going to get more people and sit in on the course again. So they want to do it again. I don't know. They, they liked what I had to say, so that's great. But, but anyway, so that's just a little bit of housekeeping. We'll have an email come out tomorrow and you know, look out for that. In terms of follow up after the course, I had a lot of people say what's next? How do I take more courses? Will you help me with my project more? The reality is, guys, my goal this year is to teach a thousand people how to do this, how to build a business with AI and how to go through and use these tools very efficiently and proficiently. So if I were to take on even a third or a tenth of of those people to help them with their own businesses. I'd be trying to build a hundred businesses at once, and there just isn't time of the day to do that. And so that model is not scalable. That's the hardcore swimming. If you want to hire me to help you with your business, you better be ready to drop 20 grand minimum to get started. Right? I mean, that's what I charge to do consulting. And when I'm working on a larger project, I'm not even going to consider it unless it's at least there, but. And usually I won't even consider it unless it's 50 grand, so. And to upsell you guys, like, that's really not my point here. What I hope is that in terms of actually trying to help you build your business out and all those things, I really want you to be empowered to A, try and do it yourself or B, try and be a leader and find people and teach them these AI skills and work together as a team and go build something awesome. Right? And I do want to see what you build, by the way. I want to see what you build. If it's big and it's working and it's awesome and you're following up, I want to see it. Tell me what you're doing, how you're doing it. What did you figure out? Hey, rep, what sucks? I found this other platform that's way better. Tell me those things. I want to hear it. I want to hear it all. Okay. Okay, so let's, let's continue or maybe finish our discussion, you know, related to Surf, Don't Swim that we started yesterday. And, you know, it's, it's, you know, Kurt texted me a couple things that were very insightful last night. And, you know, Kurt, you can share that with the group or not, but, but, but, you know, after you hear and kind of try to rewire your brain a little bit to, to think a little bit differently about how can I really make sure I'm not swimming, Right? Because when you're swimming, you're, it's. You get tired, man. You just get tired. You're going to lose against these other technologies and other people that are surfing, they can go all day, right? The amount of energy that they're harnessing is, Is, you know, astronomical compared to what you're trying to create as you're swimming through those currents. So, so, so, yeah. What are your, what are your thoughts? Let's have, let's kick this off with a little bit of a discussion. And while we talk, I'm going to eat a banana Because I didn't have time to do that in my break.
So I've got a question, maybe for the group, but John, while you eat your banana, I'm wondering, how do you, how do you protect yourself against the risks of surfing? Because certainly when you're solely reliant on other businesses to keep your business afloat, things can happen to those businesses. And if you don't have a quick pivot plan, you can, you can end up in a lot of trouble yourself. So what kind of measures could we take when we try and surf to avoid some of that risk?
What if REPLIT goes under and you're hosting all of your stuff on replit, and then they say, hey, you guys have seven days to remove all your projects from replit. We're shutting down. Then what? Good question, Dustin.
Yep.
Find another platform.
Yeah. Know in advance, you know what your export capabilities are. Right. How, what format are you going to be able to export all your data and code in? Be thinking about what your backup plan is on a regular basis. These are things that I've had to deal with over the years back when everybody had to build everything themselves. And you know, I'm a lawyer, so I wasn't in the nitty gritty of it, but I was exposed to it every day, all day, for decades. So, yeah, I'd say you really got to keep your finger on the pulse of the tools that you use for that.
Go away tomorrow for that question specifically. I know that relet has a little bit of built into it, but you can connect these projects to Git, where you can export them, and then theoretically you could connect that to Cursor or whatever other place as long as you have the files.
Right.
I mean, you, you need a little help figuring out how to format them. But I mean, you should be able to deploy working code anywhere, essentially.
Well, once code's working too, you don't have to deploy it on an AI platform. It can be deployed on, on any platform. It could be on aws, it could.
Be on fire or whatever.
Yeah, whatever.
Yeah, that's exactly right. But it's a very good question, Dustin. I mean, what if you're entire livelihood, what if the way you're surfing is on Tick Tock and Trump and she can't come to an agreement and Tick Tock shuts down like it did for like a day?
You know, a lot of people lost the money. Lost a lot of money. Even just for that day.
Even just for that day. Right. And so, yeah, what do you do? How do you do that. Right. I think that's just an inherent risk of surfing, Dustin. And I don't know if you can completely mitigate it. You can certainly do certain. You know, there's a lot of, you know, how many Facebook accounts were signed up for the day Tick Tock went down or Instagram.
Right.
People like, oh my gosh, I can't put. I can't go all in on one on one business. By the way, Justin's wife, we saw you sneak past there.
She can't hear you.
That's fine. Either way, you can tell her later.
Tell her we saw she was wearing pink.
Multiple income streams.
Yeah, no, multiple inches is fantastic.
Oh, no, daughter. It looks like Dustin.
I don't know what it is. It's so funny to see people drive past webcam. I love it. I think it's hilarious.
Awesome.
They're usually terrible at it and everybody notices it. It's better to just walk past and not try to hide anyway. Yeah. Hunter, you said a great thing, right? Multiple income streams is. Is fantastic. Right. Don't have everything, you know, don't have everything in one basket. Don't be on just one social platform. That's why I post to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn and X, although X I really, I really don't do. I don't have a great following on there and I don't try hard. If you want to try hard on X, I'm not kidding, guys. You have to post six to 10 times a day. You have to reply to probably 20 or 30 people a day. That takes roughly 45 minutes to do. Right. If you want to go all in on X and grow and get a big huge following to the point where you're making money on X because of your content and followers, you're probably 45 minutes a day on there. Right. I spend roughly 20 minutes a day posting to social, which I think is reasonable. I think anyone can say I'm going to set aside 20 minutes and I create some post most of it. I would say a solid 10 minutes is coming up with the post. Writing, choosing a picture of video. What's my message? What's my. What am I talking about today? I have no method or to the madness. I just post about what's on my mind that day and then I usually will just copy paste the same thing across all platforms. And so it takes me about two to three minutes per platform. Just kind of copy it. Paste, go. You have to wait for it to upload. When I post it to my Facebook, I'll also share it to my story. I'll share it on Instagram and to my story as well. And so I just have this little process and it takes me 15 to 20 minutes every day and I get it done. And that has me. I'm fairly surfing, you know, surf, risking, surfing. Risk proof for social. Because if one goes down, I've got lots of others. But you know, if you're on replit and that messes up, great. The reality is, Dustin, I don't. I think the biggest risk would be, you know, like a system wide, you know, quantum attack or EMP blast that destroys huge servers. It takes everything down for months or years. I think there's no way that you're ever going to be in a position at this point in technology where all of your services go down at once. It might be one little piece of a service and you're going to have 10 other options you can switch to if that one's going out. Right.
Yeah, you could always pivot. And I'm thinking like API. We talked a lot about APIs yesterday. If you're pulling APIs from who knows where or who and that business goes under, whatever, like there's usually always a pivotal.
Yeah.
Another. There's a competitor out there. Yeah, totally.
Anyways. Yeah.
And that's part of, that's part of, you know, your. The risk of business. Right. How many of you guys have ever heard of a SWOT analysis? I mean, there's strengths and weaknesses and opportunities and threats. And so yeah, you're always. One of your threats is always going to be someone you rely on changes something and you have to, you have to pivot a little bit. I have a good friend. Did you ever meet Chad Bennett, Curtis or Dustin?
Yeah, yeah.
So Chad Bennett owns.
Yes.
He lives in Travers Mountain over there. So he owns a company called Heroic and about, I don't know, eight years ago, he was killing it, Right. He's got the cybersecurity business and he had this amazing product that was cybersecurity for individuals. And he was doing all of his sales through Google AdWords. And, and so, you know, people would click on it and he would pay, you know, whatever it was, $6 for a, for a conversion. And he would, you know, they would be paying, you know, $90 a year. So he was turning $6 into $90, you know, repeatedly. And that was, we'll do that all day long. Let's take that up and scale that up in a big way. So, so anyway, he. Google came out with a new policy that Said, we're no longer going to allow cybersecurity products to be advertised on Google because there were too many scams, right? People were buying cybersecurity products and then, you know, scammers would take all their information. And so Google just said, we're not going to deal with this anymore. There's too many problems. And his business went from $150 million a year type revenue to like 8 million a year in revenue, like overnight. Right. Because he was dependent on one sales channel that was amazing. And he made a bunch of money during that, during that stint, but. But it only lasted for like eight months, right? He made, you know, tens of millions of dollars during that time, which was great. But. But then all of a sudden he had to invest a bunch. And in the end he ended up investing probably half of that profit that he made and other things that he never was able to really replicate it. And so he turned off that business and switched to a B2B model where he now handles security for, like, hospitals and big, huge things. Right. And so he had to completely pivot his business. And it had nothing to do with surfing or swimming or whatever. He was just. Well, I guess he was surfing. He was surfing on Google AdWords at just the right time and just the right market, and he was doing great. And then, yeah, it happened. The tsunami ended. The tsunami will end at some point with AI. Although I believe for the next 10 years this tsunami is going on. I think we're just at the very beginning and it's going to get worse and it's going to get worse and it's going to get worse and better and better and better, depending on how you look at it.
Right.
So cool. Other thoughts? I've got something. I've got something for you guys. Let's. You may have another thought, but I'm gonna pause you for just a second here and we're gonna watch. We're gonna watch a quick video. Okay. And I want you to just react to this. I don't. And there's like, goodness gracious. I think it's this. This is the actual. There we go. All right, let's go full screen and scroll forward just a little bit here. Right here.
I've seen it. Interesting.
Yeah, you maybe have seen this. Those of you at hand, it haven't. It's. It's very, very eye opening. So go ahead and listen.
We believe as an industry that in the next one year, the vast majority of programmers will be replaced by AI programmers. 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 there are now somewhere around 10 or 20% of the code that they're developing in their research programs is being generated by the computer. 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 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.
Yeah, so anyway, I just pulled that off some random person that posted it, but thoughts, guys?
One of the things that I sent to John last night was a scriptural quotation that refers to the concepts of abundance. And I think that really applies here. If you take the, the positive view and not the dystopian view of this. I think it's that we should be able that, that there is enough available in the world in terms of resources and brains and computing power to solve the world's problems if we have goodwill and employ it for that. Right. And that doesn't mean that there's no motivation for individuals to look after themselves, but rather it means that there's. And resources available after you look after yourself to look after other people. And I, I see it as if we can, you know, tame the worst demons of humanity as a possibility of, of, of ushering in what, what a lot of religious believers call a millennial society or something like that.
Yeah, it's, it's going to cause, AI, is going to cause massive societal disruption, changes. Disruption is the right word. Some very positive and some very negative. Right. 500 million people will be looking for a job in the next five years globally. Right. How does that change society? That's going to be big time. Now, again, we've been through this before, right? The Industrial revolution, computers, Internet, like there's, there's plenty of times in history where made, you know, people were just like, this is the end of everything. Right? Right. How many people said when the calculator came out, you're not going to be able to use your brain anymore. Like your, our brains are just going to deteriorate. You're not going to have to do math anymore? Well, obviously that's not true. Right. Obviously the calculator is just a tool and we've learned how to, how to make that happen. Right now AI is, is a million times, a trillion times, I don't know, more powerful than, than a, than a calculator. Obviously. It can do anything. It can do anything for you. We've seen some great implementations of what we would call ASI or artificial super intelligence. In movies you've seen some things, maybe in Marvel movies, where you see Iron man figuring out things, discovering a new element and asking Jarvis to do things that are obviously very advanced chain of thought, reasoning, building entire prototypes, putting together complete factories and, you know, all kinds of stuff like that. So clearly there are ways to use and harness this technology, you know, in a very beneficial way. The reality is it will possibly modify the way that humanity as a whole works and it might start pushing towards what some are going to try to push for something like a universal basic income, right. Ubiquitous, that will say, hey, there's just not enough work out there for us to, you know, the AI is doing it. All right, so how do we do this? Well, everybody needs to be able to eat and, and sleep somewhere and, and, you know, have some sort of purpose in life. We got, we got to figure this out, right? So it's a very, very interesting dynamic that the world is going to be or is being thrown into is right at the very beginning of being thrown into. It's going to get much crazier by 2030. You will be shocked at the types of things coming out of technology. It's going to be crazy, right? That change is going to happen so, so, so fast. So other thoughts guys? Anything, anything more on this?
So my question is, you know, we as a society have taken so long to get where we're at and even changes like industrial revolution, it took years and years for those shifts to happen. So we've had time to process and readjust. In the case of AI, it's happening at such a high speed. What are the risks of society just not being ready for it?
I think they're substantial and real.
Yeah. I think one thing that we don't think about as often, but that is important in that is that AI doesn't have any hands until you build them. Right. So robotics for example, are not nearly as advanced today as AI is and it'll be a while. So that will give us in some areas, it will give us a chance of time to adjust. Obviously not in the digital world, it doesn't give us anything. But because a lot of the economy and a lot of the service economy in particular currently revolves around people doing things with their hands and their brains that won't be, I don't think, replaced as immediately because we have to build infrastructure for it to happen. I mean, look at how long it's taken to get, you know, a completely automated fast food restaurant up and running. It. It's not an easy problem to solve. So I'm going to ask you a.
Question along these lines. How many, how many paralegals do you know that are excited to become plumbers?
Not very many. Except for the ones who have seen how much plumbers are making now.
Well, yeah, that is true, that is true. They are making a lot of.
Seriously there, there's opportunity in this too, even on the very bottom run.
Yep, yep, it is going to reshape society, Michael, it will. And it's going to happen fast. You gotta mean it's happening right now, by the way. Right? I don't know if you guys saw. I posted about a little bit if you follow me on LinkedIn. But the Shopify CEO came out just a week ago and he said, hey, in order to get approval for a new hire, you have to put together a memo and put together a case as to why AI can't do this new function you need. We won't even approve new hires at a major multi thousand person entity. Like Shopify, that services a huge amount of E commerce on the Internet.
I had this conversation with our CEO and COO today. We just lost a staff accountant and I was like, hey, I've got a challenge for you if you guys are in the office. And so went in the office and said, do we really need to replace blank Right.
The person?
And they're like, well, can you do it? I was like, I have no idea what an accountant does. I can guarantee you I can make it work with AI.
Absolutely.
If, if they're reconciling data. Oh my gosh. Give us like, give my tech team a week or two. Yeah. We'll replace reconciled data.
Data. Wait, let me give you a little hint. Just a, a referral and I'm happy to make the introduction directly. There's a company called Zeni Z E N I Zenni AI and they are an AI powered accounting firm. They'll charge you something like one to two thousand dollars a month total. And AI will do most of the work. But you still have some real people that send reports and you have an amazing dashboard and all these things. Amazing. Zani AI is an amazing AI. And now, and now you're not dealing with benefits and you can fire them at any time if you don't like them and whatever. Right. But you're spending a fraction of what you would be spending on a whole new accountant and you get all of your accounting done by real people with AI. So anyway, there's even solutions out there for almost everything you can imagine. But yeah, that's a great story, John. Right. Where you're saying, hey, we're having these discussions at big organizations, at medium sized, small organizations saying, do we really need another person? Can we get rid of a lot of people? It's believed that right now in the US roughly 1 million jobs have been lost to AI so far. Right. It's just the beginning. We're just at the beginning, guys. But now that you've seen the types of things that something like replit can do and you can whip up a tool and you can do this and Grok and ChatGPT and combining the powers of all of these, plus 10 other programs that we've looked at and seeing how you can connect them all with automations, with Zapier or other things, APIs, you can replace huge amounts of job functions in your company and, and, and be, just, be just fine. Now if you're doing a startup, you're going to be able to go solo for quite some time until you start hitting a Good number of customers. I have hit the point at Gen AIPI where I need another person. I'm there. I made it. And it took me only six weeks, which is crazy, right? And, and, and I have enough revenue to support another person even now. Luckily, the guy that's coming in is, you know, he's going to be, he's going to be bringing his own capital to the table. And so I'm not even, we're not even, you know, taking salaries yet on that. We'll be, we'll be kind of eating what we kill type thing, what we bring to the table. So there's some cool, cool ways you can set up businesses that way. But, but anyway, it's, it's amazing, it's amazing what's possible and it's also scary what it's going to mean for those that aren't sitting in this class right now or something similar to it, or at least spending the time on their own going and figuring out how to not, you know, to not go the way of, of Netflix or, sorry, of the, the way of Blockbuster. Right. In their own, in their own careers. So cool. Other, Any other thoughts? John?
Have you built any agents? So I know we're kind of at the very tip of like we're going in and putting in, but I know people are making insane, basically 80% of what we've done we could have built into an agent and have it sort of, you know, running. Have you had any experience, like building full agents that are automating full workflows yet?
Yeah, there are some pretty awesome ones out there. Like Manus. Right. Some of you may have heard of Manus. That's one of the things we're going to go over here in a second. I'll show you. I haven't felt the need, Hunter, to build a full agent. Right. I, I, there's enough tools out there that I feel like I can just use what other people have built and if I need to customize it, a lot of times you can, you can, you can customize an existing agent with just good prompting. Right. And I saw use, you know, lengthy prompts. Right. Like some of the ones we were talking about yesterday, we were talking about, you know, a two or three page prompt or whatever to be able to really give an agent or an agentic system a task to go accomplish. Right. So let's look at Manus really quick. I think that's a great segue. Let's dive in. So Manus, guys, is a, is a tool. I look forward to closing all These tabs. Here we go, here we go.
It'll never happen.
Yeah, I know, I know, you're right. So Manus has the ability to do. So Replit really is purpose built to build software. Right? Or websites. Right. I mean, that's what it's built to do. Build apps, build software, build websites, whatever. Manus can do anything you want to, do a bunch of research, you want it to, you know, do some big comparisons between whatever and whatever and whatever. Great. That's awesome. So look at some of the examples and one of the things I like about this, by the way, if you want to sign up for Manus, there's still a wait list. And go put your email in. Go to Manus. Im right here. M a n u s.im put your email in and you'll get a code probably within 24 hours. Right. They're coming through pretty quick now. I had to wait weeks to get in. They're speeding up and starting to ramp up. And I'm now on a paid version of Manus. Right. So I, anyway, I've got a lot of credits that I can use and play with here. But, but look at some of the things that Manus is capable of doing. Let's. Let's look at one of these. And they built a really neat tool that I think is so smart and it allows you to replay, you know, an idea. So this one is. This is our company website, techcrunch.com based on its design, style and visual language. Please create a set of icons that we can use in PowerPoint presentations. The icons should be rich, appealing, and maintain a consistent design language with our site. Awesome. So it goes through and it analyzes a bunch of things. And about this one, this probably took I'm going to guess 15 minutes or so. Then you can actually download. You can see. I did download some. Download them again. TechCrunch right here. And you can actually see the output of what it did now. It provided SVG files, right? Which are awesome. And it provided PNG files and several versions of it, as well as documentation for how to use it. Right. And look, look at the type of files there. Dot MD files, right? So that's pretty cool. Anyway, so you can jump in here and look at this. AI chat, cloud data, mobile search security. So you now don't have to go turn to your whatever editor, to your graphic designer to build these things out. Manus took care of it. That's amazing. Let's look at another one. These are all the recordings of the things that I need to upload. All right, let's go back to here and look at a few more things that it can do. Let's go to productivity. Please make a full professional PowerPoint for me on how Teams Town Hall API work. Right? I need you to list whatever, whatever. Make a website 100% monthly return trading system. Create an Excel filled out with the following columns. Delivery date, delivery bill with all of this information, right? Take just a big task that you could give to your assistant and just say here's a bunch of information. Make this output right? Yeah. Different languages and different things like this. Can you turn this PDF into a maximum of 15 mind maps? See this one? I haven't clicked on it yet. So let's see what it is. So you could see what the source file is, right? It is 76 pages of text on something. I don't even know what it's about, right? Excise policy. All right, this is boring stuff here, right? We're going to skip to the results. It takes a while. Let's see what it output here. So let's click on this, open the zip and we'll get the folder and see what it did. Operation Regulation time and sales Weekly rest for employees. Here's all this. So again, this is super boring stuff, right? It may be for that person. It's really exciting. But to put this together would take forever for a human to manually, manually go through and do all of that. Like that would take a long, long time. Come back into. Let's go to content creator here. You know what, I'll show you one thing I did. I wanted to have it see how well it could search the Internet Research me. I just used me as the topic. I said, hey, write a. So I basically asked it to write an inspiring biography about me and I gave it a little bit of information and I gave it a little bit of information so that it would be able to go find that information, right? Velocity Access Genaipi I didn't give it note, I did not tell it genaipi.org or whatever, right? I said I'm a musician, a composer, an influencer, a consultant, whatever. I do these things, right? You can learn a lot. Please write a 2000 word article which is a good size article, right? I mean that's like a really lengthy magazine article about how people can learn to do business. So I thought, hey, I'll use this and I'll be able to have a good tool that people do that. And then I said, then make a website. So write the biography and then make a website. About it, right? And so it goes through and it searched and figured out all these things, figured out, you know, does all this research and you know, does all of its chain of thought thinking and creates a website for me, right? So here I am, right, pioneering the intersection of technology, business and creativity here. And by the way, the writing on this is amazing. It is really spot on. I read through the whole thing and not one fact was incorrect. It did not go and hallucinate and make things up. It found all kinds of things and then I didn't even ask it to do this. You saw my prompt, it dropped my LinkedIn here, it dropped my music website here, it dropped. Jenny API found that and said, hey, let's just link all these things here and just created. Think about guys, you're, you're asked to do a task at work and you know, maybe you need to show a presentation or something in, you know, in your, in your upcoming meeting and you're like, oh yeah, I made a quick website with all these graphs and different things that I put, you know, that I put together and people will be like, how on earth, how on earth are you doing this? Let's go back to the homepage here. When I find. Let's just do a little bit more, just a couple more things. Let's look at this one, see what this does. What is this? View space. So it must have created this. Yeah, it looks like it created this. You probably uploaded. I don't know why it's not showing me the, the, you know, what the prompt was, but it created, you know, a website with tons of graphs and tons of data that was probably from a bunch of different documents. Health burdens, impairments, social detriments, risk factors on, you know, whatever this is. But think about how much time you've spent building presentations and things like that and you just don't have to anymore. You can have it put together.
Hey John, real quick.
Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
I just submitted the application for Manus and it approved me literally two minutes later.
Yeah, it's out of beta now.
I love it, I love it. That's fantastic. That's fantastic news. So this is a brand new tool by the way, guys. It's out of China. So, you know, make your decision based on whatever you're going to put in there. Maybe, maybe, you know, be careful and type of information that you put in there. You know, if I'm asking it to research me on publicly available data, you know, whatever. China can see that anyway, it knows, they know a lot about me. So I'm not super worried there, but holy cow, guys, like, it's hard for us to explore all of the different ways that this can help you, right? I mean, you could say, hey, I'm going to Disneyland next week. I want you to put together a perfect plan of I'm going this day, to this day. Tell us which rides we should go on. Which day should we go to Disneyland first? Should we go to California Adventure first? Should we do Park Hopper? What's the best hotel to stay in to get the biggest bang for our buck right now? What's the way to. How do we do this? Where should we eat? Right? And then, by the way, you could take this and. Have I shown you guys Operator yet? Did we play with Operator? Okay, we're going to do Operator a little bit today, but you could take that and this is a great segue. We'll just go right into it really quick and, and play with it for a second. Let's just go like this. We'll open a new chat here. And so we could say, you know, please, please buy me or please buy me six tickets to Disneyland for next Tuesday. Oops, Tuesday through Thursday. Okay, so I don't give. I'm not even giving it a lot of context here, but Operator. This is run by Chat GPT. By the way, guys, you only have access to Operator if you're on the pro plan. The Pro plan is $200 a month. It's a lot, but it. But you get a lot of other things. But one of the things you get is Operator. And what this will do is it will open up a. It takes a second to initialize when it first starts, and then it's. And then it's really good and responsive. But what it's doing is it's starting up a virtual machine and then turning on a browser. And then it's going to use. It's going to screenshot and do stuff and screenshot and do stuff. Screenshot and do stuff. So it's taking pictures so that it can view the screen and actually operate it for you. It will click, fill in forms. It will navigate, it will research. It will do whatever you want it to do. So you could combine Manus and say, hey, Manus, make this plan and then Operator, carry it out. Go do it. In the class earlier today, we were, we were playing around with the operator. All right, so does he have any preferences? Let's do Park Hopper. When I was, we were, we were playing around with this. I said, could we connect Operator? So this is kind of starting to get into the agentic question hunter. Right. Can we connect operator to replit and let the operator.
