Chapters
And go. So welcome, guys, to day two. We're excited to have Chad Phillips join us today. He was supposed to be here yesterday but had some previous engagements and so we're. Did you get a chance to watch the recording yesterday, Chad?
I watched about two hours last night and I was binge watching this morning from 8 to 9. I don't get up at 3:45 like one of these guys like Kirby, you and most people. Yeah, I watched as much as I could and I was trying to play around with. So I'm. I'm probably halfway there on some of the stuff you guys are working on.
Got it. Got it. Very good. Amy, how's your. How's your project this morning? Have you clicked start build in replit yet? If you can hear me, you're on mute. Yeah.
Excuse me a second. I'm still getting dressed. Thank you.
You're good. No worries. Keep the camera off till you're.
I am so tired. I was up till late trying to figure that out, but it wouldn't work. So I'll show you in just one second, if that's okay. Yeah, I tried copying and it was just putting it in as a square. Like I sent that picture and it just said text.
Yep. That's what you want. That's happening correctly.
Oh, that's not incorrect. Okay. Well, the other one worked. That's what was confusing.
Yeah. What happens is in replit, when you. When you're doing a start build, you can type some text in.
Okay.
You can't do like huge documents. And so if you paste a large amount of text. Oh, it'll do that as a little square, like an attachment.
Okay. Okay. Sorry. Well, let me. Let me go down. Is the order important, though? Because that's also. It was going to the top, so I guess that's okay.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Okay, let me run down.
We'll review that stuff in a second. Why don't you go ahead and click start build if you. If you like. You have a good description and you've got that.
Yeah, go ahead. Well, and actually the other thing is it just said. I think I. I'll show you. Hold on. I'll just do it while you're watching so you can see what happens. Amy, run or something.
Amy, we'll go over that in a minute. We're going to start with something else and then we'll dive into some replit stuff. Everybody guys here is going to have some replit questions this morning because, you know, I kind of let you loose and some of you were here, some of you weren't, but yeah, anyway, what I want to do, guys, is kick off this morning exactly where we left off yesterday, talking about or kind of reflecting on what Eric Schmidt said again. And I want to just watch it again. Right, I think it's worth watching again. It's super, it's super short, it's only two minutes long, but, but really valuable, really, really valuable to consider some of what he's saying. So I'm going to share my screen again and we'll just watch, we'll listen to Eric Schmidt, and then I want to just have a good group discussion here about what you guys, what you guys think about everything you kind of saw yesterday and experienced yesterday, as well as kind of your reaction to this video. So, yeah, Chad, this might be the first time you're seeing it, but that's fine. All right, desktop, one share and we'll go full screen. And here we go one more time. Eric Schmidt.
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 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. 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 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.
Okay guys, thoughts?
I'll, I'll go first. I guess I'm new to the group today. I guess.
Go ahead Jen, couple thoughts.
Obviously we all, I'm sure most of our minds go if everybody has the smartest person in the world in their pocket, it's going to be used for good or bad. I can't control how the AI creator programs are building in their ethics. But on a good note for me, I thought I'm, I'm an old school, I'm, I'm 45 years old. I'm not a coder. I, I saw you ask everybody yesterday. I've never written a line of code. I've never developed a website. I've been a B2B salesperson. I'm a people person essentially. This is great for me because if you've got an idea and I can be the driver like you're saying you're the boss and I can keep refining the, the instruction back to AI now I can build something whereas before it would have cost me 20 grand to build make a change to that dumb little prompt on my website for my business. So I'm excited. I didn't if it sounds unfair but I never had to learn to code so it just fell in my lap.
Yeah, that's exciting. I'm right with you Chad. In terms of, you know how liberating this type of technology is for a non coder. Right. It's really quite amazing. I can now build anything in an instant. Um, but so can anybody else. Right. And so what does the value of the software have at this point? Right. If I can like I believe that by the end of today everyone in this company or everyone in this group here in this cohort will be able to rebuild a tool like calendly in about 30 minutes with like very little thought. Right. I mean so you know, how does that change the world? What does that, what does that do when programmers are just a dime a dozen now everybody is a programmer. What does that do to the world. Other thoughts? Thank you, Chad. I got some thoughts. The fixed and scarcity mindset part of me is like, we're all screwed. Like, this is, this is scary. This is daunting. Like, no one I. It's, it's kind of freaky, honestly. But then the abundance and growth mindset part of me says, this is awesome. This is like the great. This is revolutionary. This is allowing so many other people to be winners in business, in their personal lives. It's really cool, actually. It's absolutely revolutionary. Like, this is like, I don't know, people probably had this same weird complex when the Internet came out, right? And became significant in business usage. It's cool. It's cool and it's. And it's exciting and I'm, I'm excited to be a part of learning about it and hopefully getting kind of ahead of the curve because this is going to be, according to him, more and more prevalent as the years go by.
No question.
I want to say something.
I'm hesitant to share it with my brother, my brother in law and my.
Other brother because my brother just graduated from BYU with a CS degree. My brother in law also did, and.
He'S a project manager.
And my brother's going through a coding course right now and.
I don't think.
They'Re going to receive it. Well, I think you're exactly right, Spencer. And if you just get on, just go on LinkedIn, go on Reddit, go, go find where people are talking about this and you know, the, the programmers, the developers, you know, chime in and, and they say, oh, it sucks. Right? Just all of them say it sucks. Like just blanket statements. They, they won't even dive into it and start to admit that, hey, you know what? Maybe AI is going to be a better programmer than me. And maybe I need to rethink my life, like right now. Like right now. It's crazy, right? Doesn't mean that programmers aren't going to be useful, right? For example, I have a great CTO in my company, Velocity Access, and he has fully embraced AI and he's using it in brilliant ways to speed up his process. Now, granted, I'm way better at using AI than he is, right? Which is, which is crazy. I can out code him, right? If he. And I say, hey, we're both going to build a project and he, he, he can use AI plus all of his programming language and I can just use AI. Well, I'm better trained in AI than, than, than he is. Just because I've spent, you know, 5,000 more hours than he has playing with it. And. And the reality is I shouldn't be able to out code him, but I can. And. And, you know, most of you guys on here will come out of this course being like, yeah, I got this. I can go. I can. I can build stuff super fast. Right. We just got started yesterday. But other thoughts, other thoughts. Before we keep moving on, I say something, if that's okay, we'll do Bryson and then Keaton. I think. Yeah.
So I can kind of echo Matt's sentiments on the kind of the scarcity mindset where it's like a little freaky. But on the flip side, I mean, I'm with Chad. I have never written a line of.
Code in my life. I can understand it.
I can. I mean, I worked in technology sales for a long time, but on the optimism, optimistic side, I look at it as a huge tool. You're right. I mean, I'm in sales. I've been in sales for like, 12 years.
There's a couple people on LinkedIn who abhor AI.
I don't even say their names, but they think that.
That it's gonna.
Like that people think that it's gonna replace humans, that it's gonna take over every role, which I highly disagree with. I look at it as a tool that's gonna help us, you know, optimize and really, like, revolutionary. Revolutionize the way that we work. And that's, like, where the optimistic side of me looks at it. Holy crap. It's cool. When was that video from Eric Smith made?
A few months ago. Maybe, maybe four months ago, Five months ago.
I think his prediction is going to be. I think it's going to come even sooner than what he was saying.
I think he's. I agree. I think it's sooner than that.
Like, I don't know if you guys have seen what Microsoft has done with the quantum computing and the cubits that.
They'Ve been able to put on that.
One small little chip. It's mind blowing.
Mind blowing. So when you bring quantum into the equation, it changes everything. Yeah. I have to ask. Oh, sorry. No. Who is next? Keaton, I think.
Yeah. I was. I was talking to my wife last night, and this makes me want to get another degree in AI, if they even have that. I just want to soak up all the knowledge I can. I don't know where to soak it up from, but this is a good start.
This is a fantastic start. And my. My opinion, I have people ask me all the time, you know, where do you learn about AI like, where do you learn, John? And you know what my answer is? Instagram and Twitter. That is really where I learn, right? Because there are other groups out there that, you know, they. They, you know, they're sitting at the edge of their seat, you know, constantly watching for the next model to drop and the next whatever to drop. And I'm like, okay, I'll let you guys do that. I'll let you guys summarize it for me, and then I'll review your summaries, and then I'll pinpoint and zoom in on the things that I'm like, oh, that's cool. I want to learn that. And then if I see a new tool or something that's cool. I. I'll just go over to it. I'll sign up for it, I'll use it, I'll try a few things, and I'll be like, oh, that was really easy. Or that was kind of difficult. But, hey, cool output. Now I know it. And then it's just kind of like I've added it to the catalog and I move on, right? And then there's some tools like replit that. When I first discovered it a while ago, it just blew my mind. And then I just. It felt a little bit like a video game to me. Like, has anybody here ever played a video game where it's like a factory building video game where you land on a planet or something, and you don't have anything except this little tool, and then you have to go mine some copper, and then you have to go mine some silver or whatever, and then you start putting it together and you build a little factory, and then you build this and all the way until you have to build a spaceship. And it takes 40 hours to beat the game, but you're just kind of building systems essentially, right? And to me, repl. It feels like that video game. It feels like a game to me. I'm like, okay, I want to accomplish this thing. I need to figure out all the tools and, you know, you know, how do I build the conveyor belts to get to my solution to my end result, and. And then it all comes in together, so. Hey, Kirby, Welcome. Looks like you had a little bit of trouble with the. With the video and zoom this morning. But anyway, welcome. So. So anyway, guys. Yeah. How do I learn? I just do it a lot, Right? So that's what I would recommend. I mean, just dive in. Brantley, go ahead. Yeah.
I have a couple programming friends that I've worked with over the years, and I've been Doing programming now for about six or seven years. It started with video games. I just wanted to create video games and so learn coding languages to do video games like unity and, and Godot4 is a big one now, a big free freeware software. And we did a game jam together with a couple of my programming friends. A game jam is where essentially they give you a topic and you have like three days to build a whole fully functioning game, or a week or a month. You know, they give you like a time frame and they're really cool, fun, fun things to do. And my, my programming friends, I was like, hey, come do this with me. And I was thinking, oh, I have more power now because I have a couple friends that can code. And I was using AI the whole time because I've used AI since I started coding. And they were just blown away by what I could produce. And they were like, how are you producing all this so fast? How do you know all this stuff? And I was like, I don't really. I mean, I know the layout and I know the framework, but I just, you know, I does it for me. And they, they were totally kind of put off by, was kind of like, oh, AI is not going to replace us, you know, yet it still gets kind of confused and it can get in these like, you know, routines and get confused. And I was like, well, it's, it's actually as good as the input that you put into it first. And that's what I think you said that yesterday as, you know, if you're better at giving it prompts, it's going to do better work for you and figure it out. And so they've kind of been asking me stuff and, and wanting me to help them kind of learn a little bit more of the AI side. So hopefully they open their minds and just improve themselves instead of just kind of living under a rock.
But anyways, there are so many programmers, guys that I'm seeing on LinkedIn and all these places that, where they say, yeah, like the AI is terrible, it's going to be gone in a couple of years and there's no way it's replacing programmers. And I'm just like, you have no idea. Like, they are so, so wrong. Eric Schmidt is right. And like, like you guys were saying, I think it's underestimating. I think we're going to be there faster. The consensus, not just the San Francisco consensus like he was talking about, right, but the consensus is that there will be somewhere between 400 to 500 million jobs lost by 2030 because of AI. Just. Just think about that, guys. And this isn't like plumber jobs or construction jobs, although those will come too, right? At some point when you add robotics into the equation. These are software engineers, marketers, designers, paralegals, even lawyers, CFOs, accountants, almost everything. Like, Matt Johnson's got a great job because he moves pianos and tunes them. Like, do that at scale, man. Make $2 million a year just scaling. You know, that stuff. That's fantastic, right? I. I don't think AI is going to be replacing all of Keaton's, you know, sugar companies. Right? That's. That's not something AI is going to be doing for a while. So keep. Keep that up. Right? So I want you guys to think about. I mean, I just. I just want you to be aware, right? We've probably covered this enough, unless somebody else wants to add something. But. But bottom line is. Yeah, Amy, we'll get to you. Bottom line is you just need to be aware. And the fact that you're on this class means you're already aware, and that's fantastic. You're already moving in the right direction. Keaton. You're learning. You're cranking forward, right? So, anyway, that's awesome, Amy, Go ahead. What are your thoughts around this?
Oh, I just thought the same thing. It's going to be, like, so interesting to see what happens because it already feels like that right now. Even developing the, you know, online program, I was like, there's so many people that could be doing this. And then you're just gonna feel like, well, how do you get your program out there? How are. Why Will? You know? And I guess that is important that you have qualifications to help you stand out still. But. Well, I don't know. It just. It seems really good at the same time as it seems really bad. And then how do you. What are we going to do then to make money, you know, and when you have a counselor, you can get, you know, you can get advice to wait to get weight loss. You can get at your own coach because a high believe and coach you on whatever you want, you know, so.
Smartest human in your pocket on every topic ever.
Yeah, it's wild.
It is. It is wild.
I did watch a show on Netflix. It's with I always forget her name, where the robots end up coming into the home to, like, bake and stuff. And they. And it's like a real person. They end up, like, trying to kill the humans.
Was it Megan?
Was that Megan Fox? Yes. Yeah.
Yeah. It's crazy, guys. I want you to think about another time in history when, when this has happened, right? And for me, I know, I know. You know, I think Matt Johnson mentioned the Internet, and the Internet is, you know, definitely significant. Looks like Matt is disconnected for a moment. I don't know why, but the Industrial Revolution was bigger than that, right? When, when factories started to replace humans, that became a big deal, right? And, and people were asking at that time, what are humans going to do right now? What, what are we supposed to do with our lives, right? Robots and factories just took all our jobs, right? And they, you know, obviously, obviously we figured it out, right? And we adjusted. And so we won't spend any more time talking about it right now, although we will talk a little bit more at the end of this class on another topic kind of close to this. But what, you know, what do we do? Where does, where does the value. Where does the value move? Like, if you think about, like 1998, right, and you wanted to buy a piece of software or the year 2000, you want to buy a piece of software, what would you do, right? You'd have to, like, get in the car and drive to Best Buy or, you know, Circuit City or I don't know what those, what, what stores are not here anymore anyway, Probably Circuit City. You're right. You'd like, you'd like, buy a box of, you know, with a CD in it and eventually DVDs when they got more, whatever. And then you'd go and you'd install it and you do all this stuff, right? And so, and so creating a piece of software that was on a disk, right? Like, like Windows or Microsoft, you know, Microsoft Office, all those things, that was a, a big thing, a big gate, right? And now, you know, and then, you know, you started paying for it. Then it became, you know, the Internet got fast enough where you could download it, and then a SaaS model started to come out, right? In kind of the early, early teens and even, even late, you know, kind of 2009, 2010, you started to see some SaaS models where people were saying, hey, we're just going to charge you a monthly fee. You're not going to own it anymore. You're just going to rent it, release it from us. And then, you know, you get updates, you know, as much as you want and all those things, right? And, and anyway, now, today, software is. You can just create it. You can just create it in a moment when you get good at it, right? I feel like I could build most software out there in a day. Like, I really think I could. I had somebody reach out to me the other day and say, hey, you should add this tool to your class. And, you know, I bet you I can get you a subscription to these guys, and it only cost you like, 800 bucks a month. And I was like, I could rebuild this thing in 90 minutes. That's literally what I said back to him on LinkedIn. Kind of got mad at me because I was kind of short with him. I probably shouldn't have said it the way I did, but. But the bottom line is, guys, it's. It's gonna change. It's gonna change the world. It is changing the world. So today, guys, we are going to dive in to. Into some more tips and tricks, right? Those of you that. That spent time, you know, struggling through replit, you know, hopefully everybody's at least got a rough draft up and the first draft up. And, you know, replit is replicate. Has built out that first element. But we're going to go over a few of your projects. You know, we'll let you just share your screen and say, hey, I'm stuck here. And we'll kind of look at it and we'll go over a document that kind of goes through, you know, a bunch of tips and tricks of how to use replit in the right way. No tool is perfect. Like. Like anything that's out there, you kind of. You have to know how to use it. And I've spent a lot of time, you know, working hard to figure out how to use it. So. So anyway, with that being said, is there anybody on their project where they're like, I am so stuck and I want to share my screen where you're just like, you've been thinking about it all night and you can't figure it out.
John, I'm not stuck, but I have one question. I'm scared. Like, I like what it did already, and. And I'm scared that I keep adding and tinkering. You know, it's almost like if you're doing a painting and you keep adding too many brushstrokes and then you screwed.
It up, you break it. Yeah.
I'm nervous that I create this fog of war scenario, and I don't know where I'm. What I've done.
Yeah.
And so I'm. I'm. You know, if I add too much stuff, is it just gonna. Can you walk it back? How easy is it to walk something back?
Yeah, that's a great question, and I'd love to start, Chad, with you sharing your screen. And tell us what you're building because you weren't here yesterday, so we didn't really get to see any of that.
Okay, sure.
That'd be awesome.
I. I live in South Weber, Utah, which. Is that the scrambled eggs takeout. If you guys not only John will.
Know what the hell that kayaker. You know what that means.
Anyway, I. I work in the title insurance industry. I've done that since high school. It's family business. We sold our. Our title agency a few years ago. I still work in this industry, so one of my challenges is I've never utilized technology to help me keep track of my clients. I'm aware of CRMs. Right. So Salesforce and other CRMs out there. I thought about trying to build my own. Just a simple CRM for me. Upload some kind of a client list, help me keep track of who the hell I talked to three months ago and when did I talk to them last. And people, an automated reminder to go. Go see that. That client. So I'm going to share my screen and just I guess give you some insight on the basic prompts I've given it so far.
All right.
So John, you could probably see my screen now.
Yeah. Yeah. Great.
This was my initial prompt that I, I did. And then you were showing yesterday's class about creating a business plan within Chat GPT. It kind of had to do a basic business plan of what if I brought this beyond just my own personal use.
Yep.
And if I built it out really well, maybe I could find a niche where that CRM could be used with title insurance sales managers throughout the nation.
Yeah. Guys, it's so easy to create a, you know, a sales force for title companies. You know, whatever. I mean, I'll tell you if it's easy. The ads. Right. Themselves, you know.
Yeah. Because it doesn't exist right now, I don't think.
But.
And so this, that was the business. And then I threw this into Grok this morning about maybe refining what Chat GPT did. So there's my, My prompt for them as best I understand what the heck I'm doing.
Oh, you're doing great. And.
And then here, here's their reply. I haven't dumped any of this into. Into replit because I was scared of like mucking it up because.
Scroll down over on the left there. What is it says like the app plan, but it's. That's weird. You already have a plan that's up and running. So I'm trying to. I'm trying to see. Can you scroll down even More or is that all there is? Yeah, yeah. Go all the way down. Okay. You already did that. Yeah, scroll all the way down. I just want to see all the way down through this. Okay, you're now to an open AI key, which is cool. You're kind of stuck here. That's a, that's a great place to get stuck. So today, guys, one of the things we're going to go over is APIs, right? We talked about yesterday, APIs. APIs are connectors that allow you to just become, you know, do awesome things. Right. And to create an AI powered app, you just have to sink into OpenAI or some other, some, some other AI and it's very, very easy. So what is AI helping you do in here, Chad? What is it supposed to be helping you do? Curious.
What is AI helping you do in here with replit?
Yeah, what I mean is, in your business, is it called Client Connect? Is that what you went for? Or it just named it.
I liked it.
Okay, so in Client Connect, is AI supposed to help you do anything? Not in the development of it. Right. But like, are you supposed to have like a chat bot where you can ask, hey, which clients have I not talked to in a while? Who should I reach out to?
Yes.
Is that that kind of what they're trying?
Because right now all I have is constant contact where in theory I can upload an Excel sheet of clients.
Yep.
And I don't understand how that helps me. Just. So I want to do a blast email. No thanks, I don't want to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's all I have.
What if you could segment out and have it, you know, automatically do this for you? So that's really cool. I could help with that. So you need what's called an API key, right, guys? This is a personal access key just for you that will access your OpenAI account and then it uses credits that, you know, that you have in there. Now you have to load your account. I think the minimum is $5 of credits. But that $5 of credits will last you for like a month. Right. I mean, it's really, really maybe, maybe two months, maybe three months, depending on how much you use it. Right. It's completely usage based because it's an internal tool. I bet it'll last you a long time. So we're going to go ahead and set that up and I'm just going to. I want you to just keep your screen open, Chad. We're going to learn about an API, how to set up an API key right now. So what Happens in replit and it does it so. So well, it brings up this thing that's called the Secrets Manager. And this is this little purple thing down here where it's saying, hey, in order to do this, do this right? And so it says, hey, how do you get one? Well, listen to it. Click on that link right there. Right. Sign up@HTTPs platform.OpenAI.com now this is a separate. Yeah, just go and click on that blue. Yeah, right there. This is a separate platform, guys, than chat GPT. Okay, so you're gonna have to sign up. So go ahead and click sign up over there on the top. Right. And Chad, I'm gonna. We're gonna. Yeah, go ahead and just continue with Google or whatever you've done. Yeah, yeah, and, and then we'll walk you through just this first, this first part here. It's so, so easy. So go ahead and click start building the top right, the green button and you're gonna call your thing client Connect. Right? And then what best describes you? Answer honestly to do it.
The honest answer.
Create organization. All right, you'll invite your team later. So just click that bottom or continue whatever. You don't have to do that right now. And then. All right, first I would call your API key name. Just call it replit one. Then you know where it is and you know it's the first one you did. All right, and then generate API key. There it is. All right, go ahead and click copy and head back over to repl.it paste that value in right there. And then continue and then bottom left, add to account secrets and you're rolling. Now it's going to set up your AI whatever thing now. That's it. You did it. That's all it takes to set up an API, guys. It's super, super easy. Now you're going to have to test it a bunch to make sure it works right and does what you want it to do. But now it's actually set up. Last thing I need you to do, Chad, is I need you to go back to the OpenAI API. Right there, that tab where you were in. Right there. There you go. And then go and click Continue and then we will bounce away from here while you add a credit card in. So I'll stop your sharing of your screen and go ahead, just add your credit card. You need to add $5 credit, Charles. Won't work, right? The API will say. Oh, say there's no credits left on this, right?
Can I ask a question?
A lot of APIs are all answer questions but a lot of APIs guys are free for testing. Most AI API keys are not free, but they're very, very cheap. I mean, you're paying fractions of a penny per prompt that you're doing, right? And so, you know, if you use it a bunch, you might use 11 cents worth of credits, right? I mean, it's, it's quite, quite easy to do, but there's tons of APIs out there. All right, who had a question?
It's just me. So we're connecting the OpenAI to our Replit so that we can utilize the tools that are on the OpenAI platform.
No, what you're doing, remember in replit, you're building a solution, right? Whether it's an internal solution that Chad's building, but he's kind of building it for, you know, maybe even, you know, someone else to be able to buy later on. You know, you're building your piece of software and that piece of software will use this API to accomplish whatever it is. So for example, maybe you want an AI powered chatbot that understands everything about your business and it talks to your customers when they come visit your site. Like, hey, welcome to the site. How can I talk to you about. Right, it's a chatbot, but it's actually powered by AI. So it's much, much smarter than an average chatbot and you can teach it about all the different things that you know about your company. Right? You can give it this amazing prompt and resources to be able to choose from. Right? So no, this is not connecting it to replit so that it can help you build your app. This is making a feature of your app that is AI powered. Does that make sense?
So it's our own API key so that we could talk to other systems so that our software that we're building can then therefore set up that chatbot. There is a third party system. Is that what I'm understanding?
Well, so the open AI is the, is the LLM, right? It's the large language model that powers. Let me, let me explain it this way. Let me show this. I'll share my screen really quick and walk you guys through something pretty cool. So when you go to Chat GPT, let's see here, where is, where's my Chat GPT? So Chat GPT right here. And this was going to blow your mind just a little bit. Okay. This is actually just a wrapper. It's just an OpenAI API key, right? Chat GPT is a product that OpenAI made and they used their own API to create this. So I could bounce into. In fact, I did it. I went, let me go into RepWit right here and click Home and Go Apps AI Assistant. And we'll let this get spin up and run really quick. I built this in replit with. I said, create a chatgpt clone. That was my entire prompt. That. Okay, I'll do that. I approved the plan. I gave it my OpenAI API key, and I said, check the logs, fix the problems. That's all I said. And here we are. Now I can say, teach me about the sun, right? Oh, I didn't. I didn't activate Enter to send. Okay. And ChatGPT thinks about it. It's using an OpenAI API key to check the LLM and generate a message. Boom, I created ChatGPT. It's done. Okay, because what we're doing is behind. We're just using this API to hit an endpoint, and that endpoint is OpenAI's AI, right? It's all of the knowledge and everything that runs ChatGPT. So I can make my own model. Now, obviously, ChatGPT has some other features. For example, here I can change the model, but I could still build that. I could say, hey, you know, let's build a dropdown menu that lets us change the model for the OpenAI API key. Okay, great. Awesome. And then they've got some search and deep research, and they have these project features. They have all these things. Right? And so it has a lot more features maybe than mine does. It doesn't have. Mine doesn't have a memory in the same way that this does, like we talked about yesterday, but in terms of the basic core functionality of what CHAT GPT is, I did it. I built it right. And I could respond back to it. And I'm just having a conversation with it about this. You know, tell me how much bigger the Sun. Actually, I want to see. I want to see something make this answer shorter. I want to see if it keeps the context of the question or of the conversation. Tell me about the sun and make it shorter. Yep, totally did. So it set this up properly to be able to just open up a new chat, and it knows to do that now. I haven't created any sort of database. I haven't, you know, if I click refresh, it's gone, and so it's starting over. So I could add a database later, but literally with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 words and 7 words over here, I created a ChatGPT clone. Took me like seconds of my time to basically build this out. So does that make sense. Bryson, does that make sense? What's happening there? Yeah, an API key, guys, is really awesome, right? Like, I could, for example, I could say, Aaron, let me go. Let me go over to another Apple, just pull up another one that I built, and we'll do. Let's do the pool. Pool Pro. I think. No, Flow transformation. Flow transformation. I think this is. I think this is good. So this is one where I was. Yeah, I was working on my company Flow State, and I was working on, like, hey, what if I did retreats, right? People pay, like, $10,000 to go out and, you know, go on adventures, kayaking, all these different things. And we talk about, you know, business stuff and AI, and we, you know, kind of combine everything we're doing into a big, fun package, right? And so I asked it, I said, hey, I want you to make an API, or I want. I want to show the weather in West Mountain. Now, obviously, I wouldn't actually do this on. On my website, because that doesn't make sense. Although I could localize it just for fun. Hey, what's the weather today? Right? Or maybe if I had a destination like Alta Ski Resort, I would want the weather to show up on that site, right? And a little thing, okay, this right here, this element is using an API to. If I go here into my secrets, there's a little thing called secrets that shows you all your API keys that are in here. I'm using an OpenAI API key, and I'm using a weather API key, right? And so this weather goes to, like, I don't know, weather API.com or something like that. And it's pulling actual. So, like, if you look at my watch right now, West Mountain, 49 degrees. That is pulling real live data. It is a real API working. So APIs guys let you pull other services that other companies are building, other things are doing, right? And pull that in to your project so that you can then show the weather. Show what stock prices are. Right now pull. Maybe you want an API so that when you do something in your app, it sends an automated message over to Slack and, you know, to a group and like, hey. Or, you know, you get a. Maybe you get a form submitted on your website and you want that form to immediately send an email to this person and send it to the sales team on Slack. And so someone just jumps on it really quick and says, hey, I'll take this one. And they call them up really quick, and there you go. You've got great customer service. Or you set up an AI voice to Give them a call really quick, right? You can APIs allow you to do anything.
Can I ask where you found the Weather API?
Google Weather API and then take your pick. Right? There's a bunch of different ones out there. So I ended up using weather API.com weatherapi.com here and like, here's all this fancy stuff. I don't need to know how to use it. What I do, guys, when I'm setting up an API like this is I literally just say, okay, let's, first of all, let's look at the pricing. I'm always going to look at that because I want to know, okay, it looks like it's $0 a month. I can have a million calls per month. That's crazy. That's a crazy amount of free usage. And then if I'm starting to get into something commercial, okay, well now, now I need this now it doesn't give me future weather in some of these lower plans. So if I really am serious about making a weather app, okay, I need my weather data, but literally all of my weather data from everything around the whole world I can do for 25 bucks a month. And if I'm charging, you know, $4 a month, $8 a month, maybe it's free with ads, whatever. And I'm making $7,000 a month from my little weather app that I, that I published. Of course, I don't care about $25 a month, right? So you pay for these couple things, plug them all in and then at any time, here's the cool thing, at any time I can come in here and sports API history related weather. That's kind of fun. Yeah, these guys have lots of cool stuff, right? But then at any time, guys, let's say I, I don't like weather API or someone comes out with a better one, cloudapi.com and it's just got all this cool stuff. It's cheaper, it's smarter, it uses AI. Whatever it does, it's just a better one. Well, what do I do in my project? Hey, let's swap out this API key. Now all of a sudden my app is stronger because I'm taking the better, stronger API, the better, stronger functionality. So I'm looking for functionalities, guys, and then I'm connecting them together. Has anyone here ever used Zapier? Yeah, so Zapier is really just a huge, it's just a huge API database. It connects one thing to another. Maybe you're coming from webflow into some action on tables and paths and then you go into HubSpot and then into Slack. And you do these different things. You just set up these automations. Now these automations are happening because Zapier set up an API to help them connect each other. And then they made it really, really easy for an average Joe to just, you know, set up this nice, this nice flow. You guys are learning how to do it behind the scenes, where you can connect anything to anything as long as there's an API. And most things these days, most major companies these days have APIs. Like if you want an API into Ticketmaster, if you want an API into. Gosh, one of my. I just had something in my mind. It's okay, whatever. There's I. Every single AI, for example, has an API. If you want to connect into mid journey because you're creating images, you can do that. There's an API for that, right? If you want to. If you want a Grok API, because you're like, hey, you know what? I love that. Right? Perfect. Here's your API. Try it out. Here's your pricing. This is what it's going to look like, right? Here's all your prices. Do what you're going to do. Figure it out. And yeah, 16 cents for this many things. That's a lot, a lot of stuff. You can also go into different models and different things like that. But here's the cool thing, guys. I know some of you might be like, I could never set up an API. This is too complicated, right? No, the AI will do it for you. First of all, repl. It will literally write the code for you. You just say, I want an API. Look, I set up this weather one. I wanted to see if I can find how hard it was or simple it was really to set up. Okay, security. I don't know how long ago I did it. There's OpenAI key. I added that in. All right, here we go. I want to show the weather in West Mountain, Utah, in the upper right hand corner of the selected element, right? I just click this, select element, I click this. And then I gave it that thing. Let's use a weatherapi.com key. And it said, okay, great. Get this key here by visiting this website. Sign up for an account, obtain your API key from your account dashboard, paste it here, click, continue, just like we just watched with Chad and it was done. That's it, guys. That was it. That's all I did to do that. I just said, I just want to show the weather up here. If I didn't even know that I wanted to use a Weather API key. It would say. Well, here are a couple API options. Which one do you want? I don't know which one's best. I recommend this one. Great, let's do that. Just talk to it. Okay, Talk to it. You can do. You can build anything when you can. When you can combine APIs in there. All right, guys, I want to jump into someone else's project. Who else has a project they want me to look at for just a second here? They're stuck just a little bit or they just want to show it off because they think it's cool. That's cool too. Okay. I'm not seeing anybody jumping out. So I can go if you see it, if you want. Okay, so let me share my screen. I know I have questions, but I don't exactly know what questions to ask. So I'm just going to start going and see what happens here. Yeah, guys, this is an extremely powerful way to learn, right? I've been teaching for a really long time and a lot of different things and coaching and a lot of different things. But one of the best ways to learn is to watch somebody else fix their own problem. Because you can just apply it to your own thing as you're going through here. So pay attention. Even when other people are looking at, you know, if you're looking at someone else's project, it's still super valuable to figure out how to get it to move forward. All right, what are we looking at? So the thing I'm trying to build is an app or a website that you embed that a piano moving company will embed into their own website to help with scheduling piano moves. Because moving pianos is. It's a hassle because there's three parties involved. There's the moving company, there's the person at the pickup location, and then there's the person at the drop off location. And there's like, logistically it's kind of a nightmare. And so trying to simplify that now. Real quick question, just John, like this, what Replit has created here, this is just kind of like a sample, right? Of what? Like nothing's being stored here. I don't know. Let's look. Let's open your database. Click on your database up in the top on the right side there. Right next to preview. Right there. Perfect. Create a database. Yeah, so it is. It was sample data, right? So. So guys, this is really, really critical. The way that you're going to build in Replit is you're going to start with an idea and then it's going to create the idea. Then you're just going to start using it and you're going to run in to be like, oh, that button doesn't work. Right. So you just like start going until you run into a wall. Oh, that doesn't work. Now what you need to do, Matt, is I need you to talk to the agent and you say I just added or I just activated the database. Here in replit. The database here in replit, please. Yeah, here in replit, please set it up so that everything works through the database. Through the database. Not for perfect enter. Okay, so, so that will start to reconfigure everything. Now it won't, it won't change the appearance, but it's going to start now. And this is, this is important guys. The, if you, if you type stuff in right now, Matt, it won't actually stay. It won't actually work. Yeah, what it's going to do is it's going to create APIs in your own platform. Between this create account button and your back end. It's going to create a little connection there that then allows an authorization to happen. So yeah, right now it's just letting you in with fake data and then cool stuff. Okay, so it's got basically everything that I want it to have. I need to sit down and play around with it a lot. And you're going to have to, you're not really going to be able to play around it until database is actually showing real data. Oh really? Okay. It's really cool. Looks good, right? It starts with the look first. It's just like, hey, do you like the feel of this? Is this good? Right? Yeah. So I want to change some like the color scheme of it probably. And it'd be fun to customize it so that piano moving companies can create their own branding within it to have their own company colors. It sounds like you talked to the AI about that exact thing where you wanted removing companies to be able to do this. And so it considered. Okay, well we're going to want them to be able to brand it their own way. So this I'm able to put this is, this is the person's like if they, they can indicate if they've got stairs at the pickup address and then we, we go, we, we. I got to put that in. But then they have to enter in the pickup, the drop off information as well and the contact over there and then the details of the piano, whether it's a grand piano or an upright and how tall or long it is and how heavy it is. And I want to have tools in there that kind of help customers find that information. Because that's half the struggle on the phone call is, yeah, what kind of piano is it? And people have no idea what kind of piano they have or what the brand is or what the model is. And so there'll be things in there to help people and scheduling and. And there's a couple things I want to add on to the scheduling feature on it, like a. Like a smart route so that my movers aren't going to be, you know, delivering a piano to Payson and then go up to Farmington to deliver a piano or Ogden. And then. So they're kind of. Or if they are going from Payson to Farmington, can they hit three more stops in between? Yeah, yeah. Because sometimes there's a move like that. But, like, I don't want, like, them to move a piano from, like, Payson to Provo and then from Ogden to Logan in the same day. Right. It's just. Yeah, that sucks. They want to do that on a different day. Route optimization is really cool. And the way that you're going to set that up is you'll probably use a Maps API. A Google Maps API. Okay. Right. Which you just go. And you'll just Google, like, hey, Google Maps API. Like, and then. And then you'll ask Replit to set it up. Like, hey, I need to use this and. Or this is what I want to accomplish. What API will be best? And it might recommend Google Maps. It might recommend Waze. I don't know. I don't know what it's going to recommend. Right. It might come up with some better options for you. But just. There's a piano. There's a piano tuning software that I use right now called Gazelle. Yep. It was an app created by a software engineer and a piano technician. And it has the. It looks like it's creating my database. It has kind of a smart scheduling route embedded in it. And it's actually really awesome because it keeps my technician kind of in the same area all day long. Yeah, that's cool. They're not bouncing all across the state. Is there a way to, like, find out how they created that? Or can I just tell Replit or what I tell Replit or what I tell Chat GPT how to build that? What's the. Well, first of all, a smart scheduling or route scheduler is like, that's been built 5,000 times. Okay. And so it's not unique to that company or whatever. Like, if you love the way that that one works. Then maybe you could google it or you could, you know, grock it or something like that and say, hey, what, what technology is used behind the scenes here on this? Like what is, what is powering their route scheduler? And then maybe it can find it, maybe it can't. But, but really, if you just explain to Replit, here's what I want this to do, it will say, okay, great, well, let me consider how we could build that out. Right? You could also ask some questions about how to build that. Okay, let's see what this says here. I've implemented the PostgreSQL database to replace the memory storage. Yeah. So guys, memory storage is critical. I've talked about this. MEM storage or memory storage is temporary, right? If, if Matt tries to log in with the username he just created a bit ago, it's not going to work. Now what I want you to do, Matt, is I want you just check your database now that it's been created. Go ahead and click on the database right there and then click see my data Mountain, Utah in the upper right hand corner of the selected element, right? I just click this. Select element. I click. Okay, click on Users on the left there. So you've got all these different tables. All these tables, guys really dictate how your, how your app is set up. So I want you to click on Users and I want you to scroll over. You've got id, username, password, company name, email, phone logo, primary color, accent color. Okay, so they're really considering. Then you've got customers ID moves. Okay, so it really is considering that your users are an owner of a moving company. Yeah, I was pretty specific about that. Amazing, right? So that's what you want to see there. Then go ahead and click on Moves. Okay, so we got an ID, an ID guys are just going to be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, just going to the order of the, the, you know, object as it's created. Okay. User id, customer id, piano type, piano, make, piano, model, piano size, pickup, address, pickup, city, pickup, state, pickup, zip, pickup, stairs, pick up details, drop off address and all those and keep going all the way through. That'll be pretty much the same. Drop off stairs, drop off details, scheduled date, special requirements, estimated cost, status, photos. Yeah, so that's a huge table, right? So many things, right. And it might be right. There might be a better way to do it, but honestly I'm actually not super worried about it. It's going to use some good references there, but now in your mind you're kind of like, okay, I understand. We're going to create users. Users have a company and then they're going to create a move and a move is going to be kept here and we're going to keep all of this data that's in this form. Form, right. That is going to be entered into this move. And so then at any time I could create, maybe want to create a dashboard that shows all of the data here. And so you could say, hey, create a dashboard based on the moves database or the moves table in the database so that I can see all this stuff at once. And go ahead and click customers really quick. Let's just look at it and see what that. See what that means. So first name, last name, email, phone, user id. So it sounds like not only are they using this software to schedule the move, they're also using it possibly to charge for the move and to create and manage their customers in this. Does that sound right?
Yes.
I think it asked me if it wanted to set up a stripe page payment thing and I, I said yes because. Yeah, so this is amazing, Matt. This basically allows you to. Now it gets a little bit complicated when you start getting into stripe and you're managing other people's money, but when you manage other people's money, you get to take a little percentage of all of their moves. Right. And so I don't know what your price, what's your pricing model like right now? What did you discuss? Did you discuss that with Chat? GPT. What did Brother GPT tell me? There we go. I should do it. Basically it said we should do tiers. Oh, that's the projections. Is it like a. Is it like a $30 a month type? Yeah, get down to your finance. There we go. No, that's again, that's. Yeah, I want to see projections. I want to see the plan itself. Maybe you didn't make the plan. That's okay. I know it did. I just gotta find Won't be in the feature list. It'll be up in the business plan. It'll be in here somewhere. If it's there, go to market business model. Right there. Yeah, go down. You just passed it right there. So there it is. Here. Up to five moves a month, paid plan starting at $29 a month. Oops. That's okay, just scroll down, you'll find it.
There it is.
There it is. Flexible pricing, pay per move option, $5 per move and annual billing discounts, upsell opportunities. Yeah. So I don't know if I completely agree with this model. This is worth probably a Discussion with somebody or with ChatGPT or just with yourself, trying to figure out exactly what you want to do. But if you're managing their money, so you got to think about the money flow, guys. Where is it going to go? How's it going to get there? So a customer is going to. So you're going to take this widget, right, Matt, and you're going to have them install it on their website. Then they have the moving widget set up, and it's amazing. It's super smooth. It decreases all these problems and increases all this revenue and all this stuff. Okay, great. So the customer is then, you know, their customer in Arkansas. Crap, I'm losing you. Oh, sorry. Can you hear me? My Internet's being dumb. Yep. Can you hear me now? Testing, testing. Yeah, I can hear you now. All right, cool. So you're going to have a customer. They're in Arkansas. They're a moving company in Arkansas. Their customer is going to come to Arkansas Piano Movers.com and they're going to say, okay, here's my piano. This is what I need to do. I need to move it from here to here. And then it will say, great. Well, you're, you're, you know, based on everything you put in here, the price to move this piano is going to be $219. And so go ahead, you know, go ahead and pay for that now. So you'll collect the payment. And by you, I mean it's going to work through your API, through your Stripe account, Matt, you're going to collect $219 minus $0.30 plus 2.9% from Stripe. Stripe's going to keep their little fee, right? So you then have 200, and, you know, whatever that is, you're taking off about six bucks. So out of 219, you now have about 2, $2, 212 left sitting there. And you're holding it for Arkansas Piano Moving Company. So then now it's in your account, in your. In your. Their bank account now in kind of a sub account. And you're going to have a record in your database that keeps track of their balance and exactly what's happening. Then you're going to have to have a solution for them to get their money out. So they're going to have to be able to connect their own stripe account to yours and then be able to withdraw from their account. So that's a little bit complex, but Stripe can handle it all for you. And you have to figure out whether or not you want to be the one collecting the Money. Or if you just say, hey, this is really just a schedule. Or you guys have to figure out how to make the money on your own and move the money on your own, because you don't want to be responsible for holding $2 million a day. Right. So could I. Could I then offer this as, like, basically a free service for the piano moving companies? Or say it's only five bucks a month or something like that, but then I'm actually making money off of the payment processing. Yes, totally. Because you could just say I charge 4% on payment processing, and they'll be like, okay, sweet. And really, what you're doing is you're charging 2.9, then you're making 1% of all moves across the whole country. Yeah, Right. So you could make your. Yeah, you could choose the freemium model, right. Where it's free, and then it's. You only pay when you use it, right. When. When it. You know. So you only make money when your customer makes money. It's a great business model. It's a great way to do it. And you could say, you know what? It's a. There's a. There's a base five bucks a month, Right. Just to. Just to cover server costs. Right. Which would be probably smart to do. Right. So you get 100 piano movers in there, you're getting 500 bucks a month. That's probably covering your server cost. Just about. Right. And then from there, you're really actually making your money on 1% or 2% or whatever the fee is. Right. Or you just could make it a flat fee. Hey, I take $10 per move. Awesome. Yeah. Right? You just set up your proxy model, and then you have Replit set it up and stripe set it up, and it will have to create some more databases and tables and things like that. Okay. All right, good. Matt, this is awesome. We'll have you stop sharing now. Yeah, keep. Keep thinking through that. Okay, guys, I am going to dive in. We'll pause on show and Tell for a minute here, and we're going to jump into some software stuff, and we're going to do mastering repl dot. So you guys have seen me work a little bit in repl.it not a whole lot, right? I mean, you've seen me just kind of bounce around a little bit here. I'm going to get my other project back. Open the book, bud. No, it's not Book Buddy Pro. That's not what I want. That's not the good one. Nope. Okay. Apps AI Assistant. It's Scribe. It's scribe. That was my. That was my good one for helping me. Help me write a book. My little tool here. So we'll let that load up and I'll. I'll kind of show some of these things as we go through it. Okay, you're going to have access to this document, guys. So don't feel like you have to memorize all this and remember all this. Now, one of the things that we're going to do next, we're going to do this right now. Everyone's going to do it in their project. If you haven't set it up properly yet, I'm going to help you do it. But these files right here, these readme files and progress files are going to be really, really, really critical. Okay? As we talked about yesterday, most bad replit projects happen because it's just like, build me a weather app and then there's no structure, there's no whatever. We spent time yesterday, guys, building a business plan, and we spent time building a feature list. Why? It's because we want to give guard rails to replit to the AI you're in charge. Replit is not in charge. And so in order for you to stay in charge, you have to have a way to communicate always. What. What's going on? And replit just does things because it tries to figure out why, you know, it's trying to understand you. But if you don't give it that context, it's just gonna make stuff up. Okay, so here's what we do. So I, I added. Or when we. When we did our prompt yesterday, does everybody remember what our prompt looked like? The very, very first one, it looked like this. Okay, Amy, I don't know if you finally got yours up and running, but you've got three sentences of a description of. Here is what I am building. Just a simple description of what I'm building. And then I've pasted a business plan and I've pasted a feature list, right? That have. That have, you know, been attached as attached assets right here. Okay, so those business plans that. They're here, right? They. They've stuck. Stuck around with us. Okay, so what we're going to do is this. And I'll copy this prompt and everyone's going to do this. If you do not have these business plans yet. And this here, you can just drop them into the agent. You just copy your business plan from ChatGPT, drop it into the agent, copy your feature list, drop it into the agent and click. And then, and then I'll give you this Prompt. This is what you're going to do. You're going to say, please use the attached business plan in Attached Assets and the attached. Whoops. Attached feature lists in the same folder. Create a readme MD file with the business plan and create a progress MD file with the feature list. Okay, don't write any code. Just. 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 MD file is up to date. Okay, so guys, what this is going to do is it's going to create two documents. A readme file that gives it direction from a business perspective and a feature list which keeps a progress list of everything that we've done, everything we've built. Right? Just create these documents on the feature list. Create this. Please examine the app, make sure the progress file is up to date, and add any items that might be missing from the list that we've created. Okay, so it's basically going to give us a current state of the union. Okay, so I'm going to click on.
When you give us these.
The documents, does it include these prompts? Yes. I mean, yeah, that's what we're going over right here on this one. Right? This readme file, it doesn't have that specific prompt. But yeah, I could probably copy and paste that prompt in there. In fact, I will, because I have it right now. I'll just add it right now and then I'll. I'll reform. Actually, I just copied it. Let's do this. Let's go. Okay. Prompt for setting this up after pasting business plan and feature lists. Then let's see. Prompt. Oh, whoa. Hello. Specific prompt. But yeah, I could probably copy and paste that prompt in there. In fact, I will, because I have it right now. I'll just add it right now and then I'll. I'll reformat. Actually, I just copied it. Let's do this. Let's go. Okay. Prompt for let's do this. And let's just make this. I don't know, like that. Okay, there it is. Good question. Good question. And we'll just add that in there so you guys can have it. So what it's doing here now, guys, is it's just gonna. It's just kind of looking at everything thing it's going to create. You know, let's create the readme in progress MD files. It's kind of understanding what's going on with the project. And then in a second here, we'll see over here on the left, we'll see a readme file and we'll see a progress file show up. Okay.
John, do you. Do you recommend doing this?
Setting this up after pasting business plan and feature lists and let's see. Yeah. Interrupt. Oh, whoa. Hello. Let's do this. And let's just make this, I don't.
Know, the beginning and the future of creating apps. Or does it. Does it matter when we do this?
Yeah, I'm usually doing it as my second thing. Right. Normal. And I didn't yesterday. And it's my fault for not doing that, but I'm usually doing it really, really early. The problem with this dang scribe app that I made is it made it so dang beautifully, I couldn't find anything to fix about it. So. Okay, there it is. Good question. Good question. And we'll just add that in there so you guys can have it. So what it's doing here now, guys, is it's just gonna. It's just kind of looking at everything it's gonna create. You know, let's create the readme in progress MD files. It's kind of understanding what's going on with the project. And then in a second here, we'll see. Over here on the left, we'll see a readme file and we'll see a progress file show.
I'll let you continue when I. When I have a minute. I just had a quick question. No worries.
Go ahead. We're waiting for the AI right now to create. Oh, good.
Okay. I was confused because at first I was thinking it looks more like a website instead of an app, but is. Is it actually an app?
Okay.
John, do you. Do you recommend doing this at the beginning in the future of creating apps, or does it. Does it matter when we do this?
Yeah, I'm usually doing app that you're using.
Is. I'm wondering, is it the same thing as the website?
Well, a website and an app are interchangeable terms, right? Like, what is Facebook? Is Facebook a website or an app?
Right.
It's both.
It's all going to look the same on both.
I'm just saying a Facebook app or Facebook is an app that is a website. Right. So apps don't necessarily have to just be, you know, an icon on your phone, you know, a website, an app. Like this is a web. This is called actually a web app. Right. That's what we're building here.
Okay, perfect. But can you actually.
It as my second thing. Right. Normal. And I didn't yesterday, and it's My fault for not doing that, but I'm usually doing it really, really early. The problem with this Dang Scribe app that I made is it made it so dang beautifully, I couldn't find anything to fix about it. So.
Do like.
Yeah, yeah, you can. You wouldn't use Replit to do it. Actually, that's not true.
Okay.
We're building in a language called. Called. Or most of you are probably building in a language called React. Okay. And React is something that can work on all types of devices. So it can work on mobile web, it can work on a desktop web, and it can work on iOS and it can work on.
I'll let you continue when I have a minute. I just had a quick question.
No worries, go ahead. We're waiting for the AI right now to create. Oh, good. Work on Android as apps and you can actually output. You can convert this project into an iOS project or into an Android project so you actually can publish an app. There are great reasons to build apps and great reasons to not build apps.
Okay, I was confused because at first I was thinking it looks more like a website instead of an app, but is. Is it actually an app?
One of the biggest reasons you don't want to build an app, especially. Guys, this is so critical. Now we're getting into entrepreneurship for just a second here. Remember yesterday I Talked about spending $13 million to build a software company, right? Or. Or even $500,000 to get my first, you know, versions out. And we built the app that you're.
Using because I'm wondering, is it the same thing as the website?
Well, a website and an app are interchangeable terms, right? Like built on iOS and we built an Android. Right. You then have to maintain iOS and Android and a website. Right? And maybe some apps inside of there, inside of the website, and that becomes prohibitively expensive. It absolutely does. Dominates your life trying to keep up with it. If you're. Especially if you're trying to do it on your own, you're the developer of all of those things. No way, man. What is. What is Facebook? Is Facebook a website or an app?
Right. It's. It's both going to look the same on both.
I'm just saying a Facebook. A Facebook app or Facebook is an app that is a website, right? So build one thing, get your revenue up to a million dollars, then think about your apps, then get fancy, okay? That's the fancy life we're going to right now. We're going to get these things just working, and you're going to get some customers and you're going to prove, oh, apps don't necessarily have to just be, you know, an icon on your phone that you can. You can build value and generate value in their life and that they're willing to keep paying you money. You know, a website, an app like this is a web. This is called actually a web app. Right? That's what we're building here.
Okay, perfect.
But can you actually, once you have awesome, you know, revenue now, if you want to go nuts and, you know, expand and increase your costs and all these things, do it. But in the beginning, build a web app. Enroll.
Yeah. So it's a monthly cost to, like, build it. It's like an extra cost to build an app and keep it running.
Well, yeah, you're talking tens of thousands of dollars a month because you're paying employees to do it. Do like. Yeah, yeah, you can. You wouldn't use. Oh, for you to manage it is almost. Is. Is going to be almost impossible. Right. If you're an experienced developer, like 10 years in, it's crazy hard to manage an iOS and an Android and a web. Like, you wouldn't do it. You have to. You would have to have a team use replit to do it. Actually, that's not true. We're building in a language called. Called. Or most of you are probably building in a language called React. Okay. And react is something that can work on all types of devices. So it can work on mobile web, it can work on a desktop web, and it can work on iOS and it can. To make that happen. So, guys, look, we've got. Now if you can see in my project, if you're looking here, you've got a progress file and a readme file. Okay, so my readme file is now this beautiful. Nice. I can click on it. I can look at any of my files. They'll show up right here. I've got my target audience and my mission statement, platform, technology. So now it knows, like, what am I trying to do here, right? Like, what is going on? Then I can look at my progress file and I've got all these nice check marks. Everything that's been done. Here's what we're doing. Work on Android as apps and you can actually output. You can convert this project into an iOS project or into an Android project. Okay, so you actually doing. Here's what we're building. Hey, we haven't done this yet. We haven't done this yet, right? We haven't done a bunch of these things. All these checkboxes that haven't Been done. But see how beautiful that is. This right Here, guys, the ReadMe MD and the Progress MD file will give your AI you can publish an app. There are great reasons to build apps and great reasons to not build apps. One of the biggest reasons you don't want to build an app, especially, guys, this direction. Direction. So now when you go into your agent, you can say, hey, I want to work on this next thing, or you can say, hey, let's look at the progress file. This is so critical. Now we're getting into entrepreneurship for just a second here, remember? Yes. What should we work on next? Right. Or how I'm gonna work on this next thing, Please. Right here. Please reference the readme MD and Progress MD files and familiarize yourself with the project. This ensures continuity and prevents AI from losing track of the project scope. Okay, we're going to talk about something else here, guys. It's very, very important. How many of you guys have spent more than, I don't know, three hours working inside of replit on your project over the last day? Has anybody? Has anybody? Like I. It's okay if you haven't. I'm just curious. I Talked about spending $13 million to build a software company, right? Or even $500,000 to get my first, you know, versions out. And we built an iOS and we built an Android. Right. You then have to maintain iOS and Android and a website, Right. And maybe some apps inside of there. Inside of the website. If anybody has. All right, nobody has yet. Right here up in the top right, I have. Who.
Who.
Who said I was raising my hand manually?
Sorry, I couldn't see. I couldn't see.
That's fine.
Apparently, what is the usage in your chat? If you go in the top right, you'll see this little thing. How much money have you spent so far? And that becomes prohibitively expensive. It absolutely dominates your life trying to keep up with it. If you're. Especially if you're trying to do it on your own. You're the developer of all of those things. No way, man.
Wait, where are you at exactly in that?
I'm here. Here's the agent. Right in the top right. There's this little.
Oh, I see. Yeah.
Thing. Yeah.
$12.50.
All right, $12 and 50 cents. Okay, so you burned through. Build one thing, get your revenue up to a million dollars, then think about half of, not about half of your monthly credits. Now, if you use my, you know, my reflect about your apps, then get fancy, okay? That's the fancy life we're going to. Right now code. Great. You get an extra $10. So maybe you have that too. But if we click on this button, it opens up and we're going to learn, guys, right now how replit makes money and how we're going to get these things just working and you're going to get some customers and you're going to prove that you can, you can build value and generate value in their life and that they're willing to keep paying you. You can pay less money to them if you do it right. Remember what we talked about, guys, with. With context, right, where you've got these context limits. And we started looking at OpenAI's money. Once you have awesome, you know, revenue now, if you want to go nuts and, you know, expand and increase your costs and all these things, do it. But in the beginning, build a web app, enroll pricing, right. Or, you know, grox pricing and these AI pricing things, right? So if you're using the OpenAI 03 model, 10 million or $10 per million tokens now. Million tokens, yeah.
So it's a monthly cost to like build it. It's like an extra cost to build, build an app and keep it running.
Well, yeah, you're talking tens of thousands of dollars a month because you're paying employees to do it. This is a lot. It's about. It's about a million words, right? Maybe about 800,000 words. Okay, and this one's a $10, right? This model is this. And then you can come down here, you can look at all these different ones. Oh, for you to manage, it is almost. It's going to be almost impossible, Right. If you're an experienced developer, like most of the systems, like the one that we're setting up in our. You know, the one that we just set up in yours, Chad, is definitely. Because it defaults to the GPT4O mini.30 cents per million. Ten years in, it's crazy hard to manage an iOS and an Android and a web. Like, you wouldn't do it. You have to. You would have to have a teen token. So it's going to cost 30 cents for every million words that happens, either an input or an output, roughly. So that's great. Now we know how to use that. Now we know that it costs money to run an AI to make that happen. So, guys, look, we've got. Now, if you can see in my project, if you're looking here, you've got a progress file and a readme file. Okay, so my readme file is now this. Beautiful. Nice. I can click on It I can look at any of my. Every time you ask it to do something. And so that is the same here. The way that replit makes money is they behind the scenes actually are using files. They'll show up right here. I've got my target audience and my mission statement, platform technology. So now it knows like, what am I trying to do here, right? Like, what is going on? Then I can look at something called Claude 3.7 Sonnet. This is another AI just like ChatGPT or just like, you know, you know, 4 oh, you know, GPT, my progress file. And I've got all these nice check marks. Everything that's been done. Here's what we're doing, here's what we're building. Hey, we haven't done this yet. We haven't done this yet, right? We haven't done a bunch of these E4O mini. These are just different AI models. So they answer things differently. They're better at certain things. They understand different things better. But inside of replit, it's using Claude. And if you were to go look up claude's API and look at the pricing model on it, right? You're going to things all these checkboxes that haven't been done. But see how beautiful that is. This. See? Okay, hold on, let's see here. Export pricing. You're going to see that it's $3 million right here, guys. The ReadMe MD and the Progress MD file will give your AI or sorry, $3 per million tokens. Okay, that's amazing. Okay, well, what Replit's going to do to you guys is it's paying anthropic three direction. So now when you go into your agent, you can say, hey, I want to work on this next thing. Or you can say, hey, let's look at the progress file. What should we work on next? Right? Or hey, I'm working this Next thing, please. Dollars per million tokens. And it's charging you $4 per million tokens or $5 per million tokens. I actually don't know what it is exactly. They kind of hide it behind the scenes. But there, right here, please reference the README MD and Progress MD files and familiarize yourself. Making money by selling you AI credits for more than they're paying them for, right? That's just their business model. Now why do we pay more? Because they've built this beautiful software that pulls it all together for us with the project. This ensures continuity and prevents AI from losing track of the project scope. Okay, we're going to talk about Something else here, guys. It's very, very important. Now not only do they do that, but they take care of your auto scale deployments, your servers, your databases, your everything, right? If you're saving pictures and videos and all these different things inside of their system, they're going to charge you now. They might be. They're charging you. It's very, very, very little. Right? You're talking pennies. Like I'm running a ton of apps and I'm getting important. How many of you guys have spent more than, I don't know, three hours working inside of replit on your project over the last day? Has anybody, has anybody like, died? It's okay if you haven't. I'm just curious if anybody has. All right, Nobody has yet. Right here up in the top right, there's very little here, guys, but maybe, you know, $0.03 per gigabyte per month for object storage, like videos and pictures, things like that. Okay, Maybe they're paying $0.01 per gigabyte or $0.02 per gigabyte per month and they're charging us three. So they make money, guys, by taking services, put, putting them into the system and then charging us a little bit more. And I have.
Who said I was raising my hand, man?
I'm sorry, I couldn't see. I couldn't see.
That's fine.
Apparently, what is the usage in your chat? If you go in the top right, you'll see this little thing. How much money have you spent so far?
It's. Wait, where are you at exactly in that?
I'm here. Here's the agent. Right in the top right. There's this little.
Oh, I see, yeah, thing.
They're willing to pay that because they've packaged it up. The value that they've brought is they've built what's called an IDE or an integrated development environment. They pull everything into one place so you never have to leave replit in order to build a Super, super powerful.
$12.50.
All right, $12.50. Okay, so you burned through app or website or whatever it is that you're doing a service, all right, about half of. Not about half of your monthly credits. Now if you use my, you know, my referral code. Great. You get an extra $10. So maybe you have that too. But if we click on this button, it opens up and we're going to learn, guys, right now how replit makes money and how. So the way that this works, guys, is. Oh yeah. Hey, we're kind of in a new month. Looks like there's like Barely anything that's been used here. I wish I could look at last month's perceived previous invoices. I don't know if this is actually going to be. This might be just like a paper invoice. Yeah, that's not going to help us. That's okay. But yeah, normally you'd see like tons of usage from all of my different things here. I've only used a few dollars. You can pay less money to them if you do it right. Remember what we talked about, guys, with, with context, right, where you've got these context limits. And we started looking at open AIs pricing, right? Or you know, GRO pricing and these AI pricing things, right? So if you're using the open month, so that's cool. I've got my, I've got all my stuff back. But, but guys, when you're, if you're in your agent, okay, this is, this is where it comes back to where you want to become a very efficient programmer, right? Or AI03 model. 10 million or $10 per million tokens. Now. Million token efficient builder. Who remembers what chats usually do in terms of context? Does the AI remember your entire channel? It does. Absolutely it does. So what happens if your chat is this long, right? That's pretty cheap. The amount of context, the amount of tokens you use is not very long. What happens if it's this long? Is it more expensive or cheaper? More expensive, yeah, more expensive. More context, more words, more tokens being used. What if it's as long as Brantley's right, where it goes up maybe like to my, you know, if I had one, a fourth floor, right? Like it's, it's super. Is a lot. It's about, it's about a million words, right? Maybe about 800,000 words. Okay, and this one's a $10, right? This model is this. And then you can come down here, you can look at all these different ones. Most of the systems like the one that we're setting up in our, you know, the one that we just set up in yours, Chad, is definitely because it defaults to the GPT4O mini, $0.30 per million tokens. So it's going to cost $0.30 for every million words that happens. Either an input or an output, roughly. Okay, so that's great. Now we know how to use that. Now we know that it costs money to run an AI every time you ask it to do something. And so that is the same here. The way that replit makes money is they behind the scenes actually are using something called Claude 3.7 Sonnet. This is another AI just like ChatGPT or just like, you know, you know, 4o GPT super long. What you're doing is every single time you ask it to do something, Brantley, it's considering everything you've said in the chat and that becomes really expensive. So what you want to do and don't do it yet, guys, but what you want to do is you want to click New Chat. New Chat is not a new project for O mini. These are just different AI models, so they answer things differently. It's just resetting your context and you're diving into a new element. Better at certain things, they understand different things better. But inside of replit, it's using Claude. And if you were to go look up Claude's API and look at the pricing model on it, right, you're gonna. Now one of the things that's really maybe scary about this is that when you click New Chat and that new chat, that new agent comes up, it knows nothing about your project at that moment. It is as if you brought in a brand new employee and start it over. See. Okay, hold on, let's see here. It's more pricing. You're going to see that it's $3 million or sorry, $3 per million tokens. Okay, that's amazing. Okay, well, what Replit's going to do to you guys is it's paying anthropic 3. This is where the readme file and the progress files help. Now what it can do, it's very capable, it's incredibly brilliant. It can look at your entire, you know, all, everything. Even if you didn't do this right? It can look at everything and it can dollars per million tokens and it's charging you $4 per million tokens or $5 per million tokens. I actually don't know what it is exactly. They kind of hide it behind the scenes, but there figure out what you're doing. It has kind of your high level, you know, it saves your first making money by selling you AI credits for more than they're paying them for. Right? That's just their business model. Now why do we pay more? Because they've built this beautiful software that pulls it all together for us. Now not only do they do that, but they take care of your auto scale the prompt. This is why we do a nice three sentence. Your first prompt, right? It remembers your first prompt, okay? And so that's why we put that there. So it will say, okay, I'm building this thing. And then I'm going to look at the file base and try to figure out, okay, I kind of know what's going on now, but what if instead we. When you first start that chat, every time you start a new chat, so that you're saving in your context and being more efficient doing one project at a time inside of your thing. Please reference the ReadMe deployments, your servers, your databases, your everything, right? If you're saving pictures and videos and all these different things inside of their system, they're going to charge you. Now they might be. They're charging you. It's very, very, very little, right? You're talking pennies. Like, I'm running a ton of apps and I'm getting charged MD and progress MD files and familiarize yourself with the project. Okay? Now, boom, your employee is up to speed instantly. It knows everything. There's very little here, guys, but maybe, you know, $0.03 per gigabyte per month for object storage, like that's been done because it looked at your progress file, it knows everything's been done. It looked at readme. It knows why you're building these features. It knows why this button exists, it knows why this is here. It understands videos and pictures, things like that. Okay, Maybe their pain $0.01 per gigabyte or $0.02 per gigabyte really quite well. And so if you get on a, on a Reddit about repl and like room rip with sucks, it never, never, never remembers what you're doing. Okay, well, are you. Are you buy per month and they're charging us 3? So they make money, guys, by taking services, put, putting them into the system and then charging us a little bit more. And we're willing to pay that because they've packaged it up. The value that they've brought is they've built. Are you teaching it? Are you guiding it? Are you giving it something so that it knows? Well, no, I'm just talking to it. I expect it to know. No, you can't expect it. Now, you are the CEO, right? Being good with AI is being a good leader and a good communicator. Being a good CEO is being a good leader and a good communicator. What's called an IDE or an integrated development environment. They pull everything into one place so you never have to leave replit in order to build a super, super powerful app or website or whatever it is that you're doing a service. All right? You have to communicate. I can't tell you how many times, guys, I have been a bad CEO because I expect and I'M saying without AI right prior to where I expect my employees. Why didn't you do that? How did you not know to do that? I knew that. Why didn't you know that? And that's stupid. That's really naive of me. So the way that this works, guys, is. Oh yeah. Hey, we're kind of in a new month. Looks like there's like, yeah, it was me as the young CEO. But the reality is, if I didn't communicate it, how could I expect them to know that? Right? And I, you know, I learned over time. Okay, I gotta be very, very explicit. If I want something done in a specific way, I've gotta ask for it. I've gotta ask for that to happen. Okay. Barely anything that's been used here. I wish I could look at last month's perceived previous invoices. I don't know if this is actually going to be. This might be just like a paper invoice. Yeah, that's not going to help us. That's okay. But yeah, normally you'd see like tons of usage from all of my different things here. I've only used a few dollars. But that's what you're doing here, guys. Be a good CEO, Be a good leader. Tell it exactly what it's supposed to do. And this readme file and progress file and these prompts, no one's this month. So that's cool. I've got my, I've got all my stuff back. But, but guys, when you're, if you're in your agent, okay, this is, this is where it comes back to where you, you want to become a very efficient programmer, right? Or everyone out there. I got the idea from, from you know, readme MD files are pretty common, right? But the progress and then making sure that you prompt everything correctly is big time. So here's what you do before you end your chat. Proficient builder who remembers what chats. Usually before you end your chat, your last thing that you type is you do in terms of context. Does the AI remember your entire chat? Yeah. I don't even know if I say this here, but the idea makes sense. You say, please update the progress MD file with everything we've done. It does. Absolutely, it does. So what happens? Right? Make sure it, make sure it reflects the latest, you know, the latest status of our product. If your chat is this long, right. That's pretty cheap. The amount of project. It'll say, great, I'll do that. It updates the progress file. Then you context the amount of tokens you use is not very Long. What happens if it's this long? Is it more expensive or cheaper? You click New chat and you say, all right, please.
More expensive.
Yeah, more expensive. More context, more words, more tokens being used. Please reference the readme and progress files, which you can copy and paste. Right. Please reference the readme and progress files and familiarize yourself with the project. Awesome. Okay, so I just tell it that now I'm giving what if it's as long as Brantley's right, where it goes up maybe like to my, you know, if I had one, a fourth floor, right? Like, it's, it's super, super long. What you're doing is every single time you ask it to do something, Brantley, it's considered a brand new chat. It's like, hey, welcome to Scribe. Here's what we're doing. This is what we're building. Here's why we're doing this. Okay? And so it's thinking, it's reviewing my message, it's going to review these files and then entering everything you've said in the chat, and that becomes really expensive. So what you want to do and don't do it, we say, okay, so now that it's up to speed, now it'll say, what do you want to build next? And we dive in. So any questions about that, guys? About how those done yet, guys? But what you want to do is you want to click New chat. New chat is not a new product. MD files work. A MD file really is just kind of a text file. You can actually add five other MD files. Maybe you want some other element in your app to reference an MD file or to reference some plan or whatever it is you're trying to do. It's just resetting your context and you're diving into a new element. Now, one of the things that's really maybe scary about this, maybe you have a marketing plan, right? Maybe you have, I don't know, a team, right? And you say, hey, these are the members of our team. Make sure that they, you know, when you ask them to do something, to do this. Okay? So is that when you click New chat and that new chat, that new agent comes up, it knows nothing about your project at that moment. It is as if you brought in a brand new employee and started over exploring. It's looking at all this OpenAI integration. So it's just kind of familiarizing itself. So I said, I want you to read these files, right? Then this is where the readme file and the progress files help. Now, what it can do, it's very Capable. It's incredibly brilliant. It can. I want you to familiarize yourself with the project. So it's still going to take a moment and look at all of these different elements. Look at your entire, you know, all, everything. Even if you didn't do this right, it can look at everything and it can. It's going to check and see if everything's all kind of set up here. I actually haven't even really tried to. To write a project. How do I write Open editor? Figure out what you're doing. It has kind of your high level, you know, it saves your. Your first prompt. This is why we do a nice three sentence. Your first prompt, right? It rem. Yeah. It doesn't even work yet. That's cool. This is, this is where we're going to start next. Okay.
Before you, before you move on, I don't have the progress members.
Your first prompt. Okay. And so that's why we put that there. So it will say, okay, I'm building this thing and then I'm going to look at the file base and try to figure out, okay, I kind of know what's going on now, but what.
If instead MD file in my files, like I don't see is.
Have I not when you first start that chat, every time you start a new chat so that you're saving in your context and you haven't created it. Yeah, that's what we just. That's what we just learned, right? You use this. I just shared this being more efficient doing one project at a time inside of your thing. Please reference the readme here. I copied it and pasted it into the Zoom chat this thing right here. Please use the attached business plan and the attached feature list that you created with MD and progress MD files and familiarize yourself with the project. Okay, now, boom, Your employee is up to speed instantly. It knows everything GPT right? Create a readme file with this. Create a progress MD file with this. Right? Okay. So you have to ask it to create those files. That's been done because it looked at your progress file. It knows everything has been done. It looked at readme. It knows why you're building these features. It knows why this button exists. It knows why this is here. It understands. Yeah, good question, Chad. Okay, let's see here. Ands really quite well. And so if you get on a. I'm really curious here. I sometimes on a Reddit about repl and like room Riplet sucks. It never, never, never remembers what you're doing. Okay, well, are you, Are you. Are you teaching it Are you guiding it? Are you giving it something so that it knows? Well, no, I'm just. I look at what it did and I'm like, you didn't actually do what I asked you to do. Um, okay. That's okay. We're talking to it. I expect it to know. No, you can't expect it now. You are the ce going right here. Open Editor. This breaks, okay? When I click open yo, right? Being good with AI is being a good leader and editor. I get this. Watch this, guys. I get this. And I just screenshot this right here, Drag it in, push Enter. And a good communicator. Being a good CEO is being a good leader and a good communicator. You have to communicate. I can't tell you how many times, guys, I have been a bad CEO because I expect so. Debugging and trying to get through things. Guys, I'm saying without AI, right prior to that, where I expect my employees, I'm like, why didn't you do that? How? I. It's not actually broken. The things that you're doing aren't actually broken. Now, sometimes things. Did you not know to do that? I knew that. Why didn't you know that? You know, and that's stupid. That's really naive of me. You break. But really what's happening is it hasn't built it yet. It doesn't have the ability to just build all of the features all at once. The context is too. That was me as the young CEO. But the reality is, if I didn't communicate it, how could I expect them to know that? Right? And. And I, you know, I learned over time. Okay, I gotta be very, very explicit if I want long. It's gonna take you a few hours of just sitting there and going through as something done in a specific way. I've got to ask for it. I've got to ask for that to happen, okay? As a user and seeing what works and what doesn't work, you have to go through and click on all the buttons. But that's what you're doing here, guys. Be a good CEO, be a good leader, Tell it. And until you know, until it works, right? So here it is. It's going to figure it out. Hey, here's that when you screenshot that error and you drag it in and you tell it a little bit of context of like, hey, when I click Open editor, I get this. Now it knows, okay, I understand what happened here. So it's going to fix it. There's some rule. Or conditionally, after some rendering Logic, it breaks the rules of hooks. I don't know what those rules are exactly what it's supposed to do. And this readme file and progress file and these prompts, no one's doing out there. I got the idea from readme. MD files are pretty common, right. But the progress and then making sure that you prompt everything correctly is big time. So here's what you do before you end your chat. But it does. And it's fixing it right now. Okay. It's kind of cool. Biography, all tags, statuses, editing. Hey, that works. That's pretty cool. All statuses idea. Yeah, it's the idea stage. Drafting stage. Yeah, it's pretty neat. So, yeah, what I do is I go through guys and I just test it. Before you end your chat, your last thing that you type is. Yeah, I don't even know if I say this here, but the idea, I just kind of, you know, I just tested my tag system. Does it work? Yeah, looks like it works. Now we've got this other thing here. This is a tile system. Here's a list system. Looks like it works. Very cool sense. You say, please update the progress MD file with everything we've done. Right. Make sure it. Make sure it reflects the latest, you know, the latest status of our product. What if I click create new book? Right. Second book. Whoops. Sometimes while you're testing guys, it restarts the server because it's building something. That's fine. So you just going to jump in here. All right. Second book. And I'm not going to put a description in. I'm curious. I'm going to say Target word count. 100 word checked. It'll say, great, I'll do that. It updates the progress file. Then you click new chat and you say, all right. Please words. And my tag is test. Great Book has to be greater than a thousand. Okay. I just learned. Please reference the readme and progress files, which you can copy and paste. Right. Please reference the readme in progress files and something. Right. So I like to test different things and mess with stuff. Okay. Planning phase. Create book. Okay. I did not provide a description and it didn't break. Sometimes if you don't include something, it's going to come up and say, oh, there's a red error. You know, you got to fill this in or, hey, what happens if I don't want to require that? Make that an optional field. You just have to go through as your user yourself with the project. Awesome. Okay, so I just tell it that now I'm giv. I'm given A brand new chat. It's like, hey, welcome to Scribe. Here's what we're doing. This is what we're building. Here's why we're doing this. It's thinking, it's reviewing my message. It's going to review these files. Then we say, okay, now that it's up to speed, now it'll say, what do you want to build next? And we dive in. A lot of what you're doing here, it's interesting. You really become the QA master in this. I think I might have said that yesterday, but you have AI do all the thinking and creating and then you just guide it and you say, hey, this didn't happen exactly like I wanted it to. Now, one thing I really love that it did here is it created a different color based on something. And I'm not sure if it's based on the planning or idea stage here. So I want to do is. I wonder if I can edit it. Do I have the ability to edit this?
Now?
Obviously, an editor is different than editing, right? Okay, so that still didn't work. So there was. There was another. That was a new error. So I'll need to tell it. I'll need to tell it what. What happened there? Okay, so any questions about that, guys? About how those MD files work? A MD file really is just kind of a text file. You can actually add five other MD files. Maybe you want some other element in your app to reference an MD file or to reference some plan or whatever it is you're trying to do. But I have no way to edit this, as far as I can tell. So let's click Open Editor one more time. Maybe you have a marketing plan, right? Maybe you have. Now I got this error. I don't know. A team, right? And you say, hey, these are the members of our team. Make sure that they, you know, when you ask them to do something, to do this. Okay, so. Okay. And so it's building out the features it needs, guys exploring. It's looking at all this OpenAI integration. So it's just kind of familiarizing itself. So I said, I want you to read these files right. Then, guys, to be able to do all these things, you just click through it one step at a time. Make sure that that new book button works. This new book button works. I'm guessing that the colors of these change based on the stage and I could obviously test that. Right? Tests, tests. And let's do idea and let's go create a book. Yep. I want you to familiarize yourself with the project. So it's still going to take a moment and look at all of these different elements. It's white, right? So it creates a white one if it is. If it's at the idea stage. So that's kind of cool. It'll allow me to use a color coding system. Now can I delete this book? Delete. It's going to check and see if everything's all kind of set up here. I actually haven't even really tried to write a project. How do I write? Open Editor? Yeah, it doesn't even work yet. That's cool. This is. Hey, Deleting works. That's amazing. I need to know that. I need to check that. That's a very, very important thing. Now, I still can't edit. I still have zero words on both of these, but it's pretty cool. Biography. See, I want. This is where we're going to start next. Okay.
John, before you. Before you move on, I don't have.
The progress to be able to add new tags. I want to be able to add tags. I want to be able to delete tags. I want to be able to change.
The MB file in my files. Like, I don't see is.
Have I not. You haven't created it. Yeah. That's what we just. That's what we just learned. Right? You use this. I just shared this. The. The status of it. And maybe I can do all of that once I get into the editor. Let's try again now. Open Editor. Hey, Amazing. Right now, idea. This is my AI copilot. It's got some weird formatting issues with some of the text here. So I'll just tell it that in a minute once I get there. Right now I'm on the free plan, so my subscription is going to limit me to just a few prompts. We'll have to test that, see if it's actually recording that. My corkboard. I'm not sure what this means, but let's add a character. Call him John. He's really cool and he's really smart. Now this is. I'm curious about this ad. Yeah. Talented and great ad kayaking. Okay. So we're going to create the character. And that's cool. Awesome. Now I've got a character. Now I'm going to add a new chapter. Okay. No content yet. Click here to start writing. Right. John went to the river. Okay. Can I. Does this work? Bold. Yep. That's great. Can I do that as well? John went to the river. What happened next? Whatever. Okay, So I can. I can then just Kind of go through this zero words idea, corkboard view. See what happens. It looked like it auto saved. That was actually super cool. What happens if I do a corkboard view? Editor view. Okay, so now I can drag chapters around possibly, right? So maybe I can try a second chapter here. I don't know why these are like turning. What is it doing? Why is it moving those things? I don't like that. I don't want that to happen.
Maybe Steve Jobs told it to do it.
Maybe Steve Jobs told it to do it and it's just sometimes it tries too hard. Guys. Okay, we're going to ask. Actually, you know what we're going to do? We're just going to select it so we know exactly what's going on. Why are these. Don't want that to happen.
Maybe Steve Jobs told us to do it.
Maybe Steve Jobs told it to do it and it's just sometimes it tries too hard. Guys. Okay, we're gonna. We're gonna ask. Actually, you know what we're doing? We're just gonna select it so we know exactly what's going on. Why are these cards turning and shifting randomly? Cards turning and shifting randomly. Sorry. So, guys, I'm do. Sorry. So guys, I'm doing this. I'm having you watch me just build my project because this is what you do. You go through and you test it and you say, what is happening here? Why are you making me do that? Now when I click editor. This is really interesting. You've got this editor view here and it pulls up chapter one. Oh, there's chapter two. There's chapter two. That's how that works there. Corkboard view, editor view. And I can just bounce between this. This is kind of interesting. There's a couple things that I didn't like about that. If I go to corkboard view, I want to be able to get to the editor quickly. Maybe it just defaults to chapter one. Maybe that's okay. If I want to get to the editor, I can click that. Oh, that's edit chapter status idea, drafting, editing finalized. So I should try to change one of those. Update chapter. Okay. Random rotation is not defined. Yeah, it looks like. Okay, found the issue. Here's where they're doing that. Let's fix this. Okay, let's pause. No, get rid of. So here's what it. Here's what it's doing. I wasn't paying attention. This is where you have to, like, kind of watch a little bit. Right, Right. They're using a random rotation value. That's fine. And now it wants it to do it. Okay. Get rid of all rotations and animations on the cards. That is unnecessary. I spell that right? I don't know, but it understands me. So now I just stopped it right in the middle of doing something like. No, dude, like, stop it, stop it. Right? We don't want. You don't want the cards to be just randomly turning. Like, is this breaking? Is my site breaking? So you just have to. Again, I'm the boss, I'm the CEO. If it's not doing it right, it's my fault. I'm not paying attention. I'm not telling it what to do. But again, I'm not doing anything that's really that complicated. Right. Templates hasn't been built yet, so I'm excited to see what that looks like once we build that out. Um, to do settings we did build, although I haven't really tested a lot of this. I can't change my username, can't change my email, can't change my current plan, can't change the number of AI tokens used. Looks like I can enter an API key, which is really interesting. This is. This is so. Guys, this is pretty cool. Another way that you can have AI integrated into different things is instead of having your API key in there, you can just let them put their own API key in there, right? Does that make sense? Guys, do you understand why you would have them put their own API key in there? No.
Pass on the cost to them.
Yeah, it pass on the cost to them, then they have an unlimited plan. They can do whatever the heck they want and you don't have to worry about getting stuck because someone thrown API key in there. Does that make sense? Guys, you know, abused your AI, right? What if they, what if they spam it and send 4 million messages to you somehow with like some automation that they set up just to kind of mess with you, Then they're going to charge your API key a lot. Now you have ways actually to put protections and limits and things like that. On the, on the, on the OpenAI API side, like in your settings, you can say, hey, this API key has limits. It can only be used, you know, by one user this many times a day. You can set it over there. You can also set it inside of Replit, inside of your app itself. And hey, once they've hit this, just like my app is measuring, you know, how many, how many, you know, conversations you having today. So maybe in the free plan, it's up to 10 questions a day. And in the paid plan, it's up to, you know, 200 questions a day. Right. But it's not 4 million. Right. And so you could ask it to do, you know, whatever you want to do. So you just have to kind of go through and think about why I would do this. But having somebody else or drop in their own API key. Now you might want to put some instructions here. Right. So maybe somebody could use the free plan, grab their own API key, and all of a sudden this is super useful for them and it's costing you almost nothing. Right. Maybe you charge them a dollar a month or something or $4 a month to have this. You know, if you want to use my API key, I'm going to charge you $15 a month. Okay. Because I'm gonna, you know, you're using my API credits and I want to make sure I don't get dinged for that. Okay. Looks also like my theme preferences don't work either. Okay. Removed all rotations, animations and the corkboard cards. So let's go like this. Just going to grab this whole thing. Seems that this feature isn't set up yet. I'd like to. Yeah, let's, let's, yeah, set it up. Let's go. Right. I was, I was going to try to give it some more instructions on kind of what I'd like to do, but let's just see. See if it can figure this out. So I'm curious how it measures system. Right. Is it going to pull from my. Does it know that it's 10:35am and it's going to use a light feature just because that's how it's set up, or does it know that I'm in a light room or a dark room and the system knows that and somehow my app just can, you know, can sense that. I don't know how that works. Right. So it looks like we're going to set up that. So it's just going to start working on it. But guys, this is when I built Gen API. It was just, it was this. Okay, I'm going to start here and I'm going to go through. I'm going to click every single button. Does that work? Yep. Does this work? Yep. Can I send a contact form and does it send an email to me? Yep. Great. Now I had to set that up. Right. I had to set up the email stuff. And we'll talk about SendGrid in a second here. But you know, if I click on about us, does. Does that go somewhere? Yep. Great. If I click on blog, does that Go somewhere? Yep. If I click on the blog itself, does that go somewhere? If I click on, okay, I'm going to start here and I'm going to go through, I'm going to click every single button. Does that work? Yep. Does this work? Yep. Can I send a contact form and does it send an email to me? Yep. Great. Now I had to set that up right. You know, this categories button, does that work properly? Oh, hey, got a little problem. When I access the blogs through that tag or the category, the profile picture of the author isn't showing up and the author isn't showing up. Why? I have no idea. That's a weird problem, right? But hey, that's a little problem. So guys, when you're deciding whether or not you're going to put your credit card number into a website, you look for stuff like this, whether you're paying attention to it actively or not. You can just expect things to work, right? But if I were to click, for example, on live courses and I got a 401, or I got something that didn't work, or maybe something was really formatted bad and it just didn't look right, or maybe I clicked on privacy policy and it went to a blank document, you know, those are, those are little like paper cuts, right? One of those, yeah. Oh, maybe, maybe the link's broken. Okay, whatever. But what if I click on the privacy policy and it's, it's not working or, and then I click on the terms of service and it says, you know, welcome to, you know, parentheses insert company here. And it didn't actually, you know, it hadn't really been put together properly or, you know, you just start to go, go through this and, and you find some problems and there's some misspellings or, you know, you click on a button and it does nothing, right? Or, you know, I click on this and, you know, something breaks or there's an error, whatever it is, right? Or for one of these crazy errors that we, you know, like, like we've been looking at over in here, one of these, one of these weird things pops up while you're in the middle of, you know, working on a site or like, sorry, going, going through a site and you're deciding whether or not you want to buy this product, it's a death by a thousand paper cuts. What you have to do when you're building a new thing and launching it quickly, you have to, you have to pass the, the sniff test, right? They're just kind of going through and they're trying and if they run into a problem, if it's a fatal problem, then yeah, maybe they can't even check out. And you know, you're, you're, you know, you need to fix that. But, but if they just see a bunch of little things that are just a little off, you know, they might just be like, I just don't, I don't think this company really knows what they're doing quite yet. Maybe I'll come back later and see if they've figured it out. Right. Or maybe I won't. Or maybe I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna go find another solution. They find another solution. If you lost your opportunity to sell your thing. Okay, so that's critical. Going through the app step by step as a user to do this is really, really important. Okay, so let's go back into here, guys. I'm kind of just trying to work inside replit so you guys can see how I do it. You guys should be working on your project kind of on the side if you're good at following John. Yeah.
Go through this. But I'm curious how you go in and edit your project once it's deployed and live and you do that on the spot. You have to unpublish it. How does that work?
Yeah, so we'll go over deployments in a little bit and I'll kind of skip ahead just a tiny bit here. It's really easy. You just click deployments here and you know what, we'll just cover right now. It's actually a very quick topic. But basically, guys, you want auto scale, just do the recommended click live and.
You do that on the spot. You have to unpublish it. How does that work?
Yeah, so we'll go over deployments in a little bit and I'll kind of skip ahead just a tiny bit here. It's really easy. You just click deployments here. And you know what, we'll just cover, right? Set up your deployment. We don't need to worry about the other stuff. Right here is where you're setting up your auto scale machine. Has anybody ever tried to buy a ticket for a Taylor Swift concert or a Tabernacle choir concert or whatever they're trying to do, Right? Something that's going to be really popular and are like BYU tickets, right? And you get in and the site is just like so slow and you can't get in to buy those tickets and it's just not working right. That's because that site didn't have proper auto scaling set up. They weren't ready for 10,000 people to hit this, this link all at once. They weren't ready for, you know, 100,000 people to try to buy the tickets all at once. And so their servers crashed and they, you know, whatever. So you have a system here that will auto scale. This is the max number of machines. This does not mean you're always going to be using three machines, but you know, if you only want one, okay, you can do that, right? But I just stick with the recommended settings. Now, if you know you're going to be doing something that's going to get a huge amount of hits, you can actually go into your deployment later on and just scroll it all the way up and just say, all right, let's see what this is. The other thing you could do, guys, it says 264 compute units per second at max traffic. Does anybody here know how many people that translates to? I don't. I have no idea. So I would probably talk to Replit and say, hey, here's what I'm anticipating. What do you, you know, how many compute units are we doing? Can you run some tests on it really quick? Awesome. Now you're learning. Now you're figuring out what does that really translate to. But for now, guys, it's going to cost you nothing. It's, you know, your dollar a month, right, to run this thing. You approve the kind of default settings, let it go through, it will automatically set up all of your secrets. Your secrets, guys, remember are your passwords and things that get to your database, your OpenAI, all of your APIs, everything that's happening there. Okay, and you see, I have to do anything here. Now you can change the domain name. This is Replit app. We will be able to do a custom domain later. We won't do that right this moment, but Replit app. So Scribe AI flow state, John. I don't know, maybe I'm just going to call it Scribe. Not Scribe. Scribe app. Amazing. That's available. Replit app. So I'll click deploy. And again, this is just a temporary domain, but now I'm deploying. So now, Keaton, to answer your question, when you, when you want to make an edit, right, all you have to do is come in here, right? Make your edits and updates, and then you'll come to deployments. And there'll be a button here in a second that just says redeploy, right? So you make all your edits redeploy super easy. You can do that anytime. Make a quick update. I had someone the other day they were coming in to buy a live course, and they. And they. They. They texted me, they said, hey, this Register now button doesn't work. Hey, guys, look. Probably price has gone up. You guys were all. You guys are all in. In at the cheap level. I've already sold three at that level, so that's pretty cool. Anyway, Register now. They would click it. Nothing would happen. And they're like, it doesn't work. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. But what was actually happening, it was opening this schedule tab. And if you're on a mobile device, you couldn't see that, right? It was like this. And they click on it, and it wouldn't do anything. It just click, click, click, click, click. And he's like, yeah, it's not working. And I went. And I was like, I know this works. There's no way that's not working. But then I looked at it on mobile and I added. You couldn't see that, right? It was like this. And they click on it, and it wouldn't do anything. It just click, click, click, click, click. And he's like, yeah, it's not working. And I went. And I was like, I know this works. Like, there's no way that's not working. But then I looked at it on mobile and I added this feature to be able to. Sorry, let me open up all these. All these videos here. Okay. I added this feature so that it would. It would automatically go down. Scroll down to the schedule. Oh, now I know I can click the Register now button. Register now. And go through and do all that. Okay. So, yeah, it's going to bring up my payment and all this stuff. Okay. So that's something I didn't know. But I was able to go in and in. In a minute or two, I was able to get. I was able to figure out what the problem was. And I said, hey, why don't you just make sure you auto scroll down to where they can then click the next session that's available. And I was like, great, I'll add that.
Perfect.
Okay, done. And then redeploy, boom. And so then I texted the guy back, I was like, hey, it works now. And he's like, awesome, thanks. Right? No big deal. But sometimes there's just little things you got to fix, and, you know, that's just. That's just going to happen until you decide to stop your company. Right? So. All right, Keaton, you did ask about the. I'm just checking on the chat here. The meeting chat here, right? Has it. You know, have we sent out the. The Drive folder link yet? I have not sent it out yet. What I'll do, though, guys, is I will copy it for you right now and just give it to you. You'll. You'll have it. I'll send it in an email. Right. But I'll drop it here into the chat and you guys can then have access to all of that. But, yeah, anyway, if you see something that you don't know yet, that's because we haven't gone over it yet, and that's fine. Okay, this was users. We don't need that. Or this. Or this. Or this. Okay, we'll go here. All right. So, sorry, was there a question?
Oh, John, I just want to ask you something real quick.
Oh, Amy, you're getting a little bit of an echo because. Sorry about that. I think you have two devices on or something. Just mute that one or whatever. Let's see. Okay, there.
Okay. Sorry. Can you hear me?
I can, yeah, go ahead.
Oh, that's so weird.
I.
Okay, I was just wondering. On my. I. I was wondering, how do you create a logo? Can you do that in ChatGPT?
That's what we're doing next. As soon as we finish with these, we're going to be doing logos and we're going to be doing image generation with. With AI. Right. Which is really fun. Really fun. So, yeah, good question. So.
I had to jump off.
Really.
I had to go take care of a fire business.
Okay, hold on a second.
Create a logo. Can you do that in chat GPT?
That's what we're doing next. As soon as we finish with these, we're going to be doing logos and we're going to be doing image generation with. With AI. Right. Which is really fun. Really fun. So, yeah, good question. So.
I had to jump off.
Really.
I had to go take care of business.
You're okay, hold on second. We're going to mute Amy. There we go. All right, go ahead, resin.
Sorry, I had to put out a fire real quick. Can you give me a quick refresher on how to. Did you add the open AI API? Is that what you did?
Yep.
Can you show me how to do.
That real quick or. Yeah, to add the open AI key, guys, is super, super simple. First of all, the agent will tell you what to do. Just gonna mute Amy. There we go. All right, go ahead, resin.
Sorry, I had to put out a fire real quick. Can you give me a quick refresher on how to. Did you add the OpenAI API? Is that what you Did.
Yep.
Can you show me how to do that real quick or.
Yeah. To add the OpenAI key, guys, is super, super simple. First of all, the agent will tell you what to do. Just say, hey, I need to add in an OpenAI API key. I need to. Can we install OpenAI on my site? Then it will tell you. Okay, click here, go to this thing, grab this. It'll tell you. Say, hey, I need to add in an OpenAI API key. Can we install OpenAI on my site? Then it will tell you. Okay, click here, go to this thing, grab this. It'll tell you exactly what to do. You don't have to that there's 1,000, there's 10,000, maybe a million APIs out there that you can install. I bet there's more than exactly what to do, right? So you don't have to. That There's a million APIs APIs out there that you can connect to to whatever it is, right? Some database for influencers or some, you know, report on, you know, earthquake activity. You know, whatever it is. Like, it's all out there. That information is out there. And there's an API for it, right? Like, I know there's the. The phrase is there's an app for that. There's an API for that. Like, there's almost everything you can imagine. There's an API for and chat. GPT will tell you how to do it for OpenAI. It's going to say, go to the OpenAI API spot here and log in, snag your API key and paste it into the. Paste it into the chat. Or it will. Or paste it into the secrets little thing that will pop up right here. Right. So for this one, I installed my API key. Oh, you know what? It was in the. Yeah, good question, Chen. Okay, let's see here. I'm really curious here. I. Sometimes I look at what it did and I'm like, you didn't actually do what I asked you. It was in the last chat, so I can't go look at it right now. Okay. All right, guys, let's finish. Does that answer your question, Bryson? I know I kind of just said, hey, this is how you'll do it, but I didn't show you how to do it. You good? Okay. Awesome. All right, guys. So back to Back to AI or, you know, some replit secrets. I'm do these pretty fast and you guys have access to this document now, Right? But they're really, really awesome. Sometimes. You're worried. Some. I remember who was saying it earlier. They're like, yeah, I'm worried about, like, breaking this awesome thing. Maybe it was Matt, right? Like, I don't want to mess it up. Right? Okay, please create a plan. Build this feature. Don't write any code yet. Just outline the steps and I will approve before proceeding to do. Okay, that's okay. We're going to go right here. Open Editor. This breaks. Okay. When I click Open Editor, I get this. Watch this, guys. I get this. And I just screenshot this right here. Drag it in, push Enter. Okay? So number one, you're going to learn about what it's going to do, how it's thinking about architecting it, and maybe you see something in there, you're like, I don't know if that's right. And you could just say, do you think this is the best way to do that? Right. Well, maybe I can. I could consider something else. Okay. Yeah. Is there a. Is there a better way to do this? Right? Is there a simpler way to implement this feature? Right. Consider efficiency and speed, like load speed, for example, or customer speed or whatever it is. Right? So anyway, talk to it, learn from it. Do not modify anything except the front end layout in the login page as an example. Right? So, hey, just work on this feature. Don't do anything else. So, Brantley, when you're talking to your AI and it has all of this context that you've kept open for $12.50 of chat, sometimes it'll just like randomly go back and start working on. So debugging and trying to get through things. Guys, I. It's not actually broken. The things that you're doing aren't actually broken. Now, sometimes things do something that it, you know, started, you know, seven prompts ago, but it didn't quite finish the break. But really what's happening is it hasn't built it yet. It doesn't have the ability to just build all of the features all at once. The context is too it. Or it's like, I'm going to keep working on that thing. And you're like, no, stop it. Like, I only want you to work on this thing right now. Right? So sometimes you just have to stop it and, and say, what are you doing? Okay, next thing, please check for duplicate or conflicting code. This happens more than you think it will. It will say, hey, I need a new OpenAI integration. And you'll be like, but I already gave you and there's already an OpenAI integration. Just use that one. Right? And so sometimes it will do that and you don't know it's Duplicated something. So if there's a problem sometimes just copying and pasting this prompt, right? Hey, is there any conflicting duplicate code that's causing this issue? Take a step back. Analyze what you just wrote. Are there any potential issues? Right, so sometimes integration. And you'll be like, but I already gave you. And there's already an OpenAI integration. Just use that one, right? And so long. It's going to take you a few hours of just sitting there and going through as a user and seeing what works and what doesn't work. You have to go through and click on all the buttons and until you know, until it works, right? So here it is. It's going to figure it out. Hey, here's that. When you screenshot that error and you drag it in and you tell it a little bit of context, of like, hey, when I click. When you're stuck in a loop and it does something, just. Just say, hey, look, I want you to take a step back and just. What, what is what you're doing the right way to do this? And are you considering, you know, everything in the. In the project, right? Have you considered this? Is there another way to do this? Because it doesn't seem to be working. Just talk to it. Also, I know this is kind of weird, but if you start to use stronger language with it, right? You know, I have to swear at it. But you're like, you're an idiot, right? I mean, open editor, I get this now. It knows, okay, I understand what happened here. So it's going to fix it. There's some rule or conditionally, after some rendering logic, it breaks the rules of hooks. I don't know what those rules are. If you say something like that, it is programmed to please you, but it does and it's fixing it right now. Okay, it's kind of cool. It is programmed to please you and it will try harder and it will try different things and it will sense your frustration and it will actually work better. So that's kind of a fun. A fun trick. All tags, statuses, editing. Hey, that works sometimes, guys, this little, like agent is waiting for your response or like thinking, whatever, that'll disappear. The ui, you know, in. In replit itself will disappear. You can just click refresh and you can click refresh in the middle of a step. If it's in the middle of building, it's building behind the scenes and it will just come right back to where it was. It does not stop the process, does not break anything. So just refresh it, start the chat new, whatever you need to okay this one. I hope it just. I hope it saves you some time because it took me about three hours to figure out. It's pretty cool. All statuses idea. Yeah, it's the idea stage. Drafting stage. Yeah, it's pretty neat. So, yeah, what I do is I go through guys and I just test it. A really, really stupid little issue. Sometimes repl. It writes in languages that are different from what it expects. If you aren't seeing changes repeatedly like you would expect, ask it if it's writing in the correct language. I just kind of, you know, I just tested my tag system. Does it work? Yeah, looks like it works. Now we've got this other thing here. This is a tile system. Here's a list system. Looks like it works. Very cool. So I had it working on something I was trying to actually do Amy and logo a thing, a problem, right? And I was talking about the favicon. The favicon, guys, is this little tiny logo up here. You see in the browser, all these little logos are miniature versions called favicons. And I was trying to get mine to work and it just would not work. It would be like, yep, I installed it properly. And I'm like, no, you didn't. It's not there. Yep, I installed it properly. No, you didn't. Right. Three hours. I've tried everything I could imagine. Finally, it what if I click create new book, right? Second book realized, oh, hey, the directory name is not defined. This is because we're using ESM modules with TypeScript. Whoops. Sometimes while you're testing guys, it restarts the script, right? Three hours of trying everything I could imagine. Finally it realized, oh, hey, the directory name is not defined. This is because we're using ESM modules with TypeScript. And directory name is only available in common JS modules. I have no idea what an ESM module is with TypeScript or CommonJS, I have no idea. And directory name is only available in common JS modules. I have no idea what an ESM module is with TypeScript or common JS, I have no idea. Because it's building something. That's fine. So you're just going to jump in here. All right. Second book. And I'm not going to put a description in. I'm curious. I'm going to say target word count 100 words. There's probably most of you have no idea what that is. So you have to depend on the AI sometimes, but occasionally it gets itself stuck. And so what I did is I saved this image. You guys can download it to your computer. I have it sitting here on my desktop. It's right here. And I can grab it and drag it into my replit and say, hey, I know this isn't the exact problem, but is there something like this that's stopping you from fixing this problem? And then, you know, it'll figure it out and then it's like, oh yeah, maybe. Let me consider whether or not we're using, you know, the wrong type of module for our type of project and we'll double check some of what it's doing. So anyway, now let's check if our fixed for the favicon works. And it worked. It finally worked. And so I was like, oh my gosh, copy the prompt, save it, you know, whatever, let's keep it there. Okay. I think that's probably all that we need. And my tag is test. Great book. Has to be greater than a thousand. Okay. I just learned to do here, guys. In this document there's a few more things that you can, you can go in and mess with.
One quick question, John.
Yeah, what's up?
Sorry, if that's okay. Yesterday you mentioned something, right.
So I like to test different things and mess with stuff. Okay, planning phase, same deep search.
And I think I forgot to click that button in chat GPT.
Great book. Okay. I did not provide a description and it didn't break. Sometimes if you don't include something, it's going to come up and say, oh, there's a red error. You know, you got to fill this in or hey, that's okay. That's just part of your research flow and it's just a way to do it. Part of what we were doing yesterday, guys, is we were trying to learn how to use one AI with another AI to have them bounce off of each other. And we're going to do that right now. Time to dive into images, guys. Okay. You have access to this document. There's some other things, APIs and stuff like that, but read through it. It's pretty self explanatory. Just be careful, don't do anything stupid. That's really the general. What happens if I don't want to require that? Make that an optional field. You just have to go through as your user the general message there. Let's close out of all these things. Okay. How many people here, let's just do a quick poll. How many people have not created an image with AI? Three people. That's amazing. That's a record. Almost everyone is like, yep, I've created an image with AI. All right. Guys, creating images with AI is super, super, super, super fun and quite addicting. And once you learn what you can do, you're going to be taking all of your images on your phone and you're going to be changing them to like, Toy Story animations or Studio Ghibli animation styles, and you'll be packaging yourself up as a toy. And, you know, there's lots of fun things, and many of you have seen those, those types of prompts and things out there on the Internet. But a lot of what you're doing here, it's kind of interesting. You really become the QA master in this, right? And I think I might have said that yesterday, but you have AI do all the thinking and creating and then you just guide it and you say, hey, this didn't happen exactly like I wanted it to. Now, one thing I really love that it did here is it created a different color based on. Let's dive in. There's a lot of different tools. One of them that we all know how to use is Chat GPT. Okay, so we're going to start with right now, though, guys, is we're going to do a logo. Okay. We're going to say, I need a logo for prescribe. Perfect. All right, so let's see what it does. All right. To create a standout logo Prescribe, we need to align to the product vision and focus modern writing platform for serious authors. So this is kind of what I'm going to think. Okay, that's great. So now it's giving us some kind of guidelines. Now you can read this and say, all right, I like this. I think this is good, clean topography, focus on minimalism. That's kind of a Steve Jobs thing. So it could be a stylized quill or something. And I'm not sure if it's based on the planning or idea stage here. So I want to do is I wonder if I can edit it. Do I have the ability to edit this now? Obviously, an editor is different than editing, right? Okay, so that still didn't work. And forming an S folded page, something like that. Just. Just show me. Just create a logo. Okay, so Chat GPT itself can create images right inside of the platform. Okay. Really awesome. So it's getting started right now. It's going to think about this for a minute. Now, one thing that I hate doing, so there was. There was another that was a new error. So I'll need to tell it. I'll need to tell it what. What happened there. But I have no way to edit this as far As I can tell. So let's click Open Editor one more time. Now I got this error. Guys is waiting. So we're not going to wait. I'm going to be bouncing back and forth between different tools. Mid Journey is a really neat tool. Just got to refresh because I haven't loaded it for a minute.
Hey, John, is there. Is there a reason you use the desktop app for GPT?
Okay. And so it's building out the features it needs because it's there and I can click on it and find it right here. There. They can both do the same things. They're almost exactly the same. Is Mid Journey broken? What is that? Is to be able to do all these things. You just click through it one step at a time. Make sure happening with Mid Journey. What on earth is happening? That is crazy. Mid Journey. Sure that that new book button works. This new book button works. I'm guessing that the colors of these change based on the stay down not download down detector. And I could obviously test that. Right? Tests, tests. And let's. No, we are not detecting any problem. That's 17 down for everyone. Mid Journey. Is it down right now? Mid Journey is down for everyone. Oh my gosh. This site has been unreachable for more than 660 days. No, it hasn't. What on earth is happening? I have never seen Mid Journey down in my life. Guys, let's do idea and let's go create a book. Yep. We're going to try something here. We're going to try Discord. See if we can use Mid Journey through Discord. It's white, right? So it creates a white one if it is. If it's at the idea stage. So that's. Which is not typically what I like to teach. Because if you don't know Discord or you're not comfortable with it, it's a little bit of a weird thing.
But John does Grok kind of cool.
It'll allow me to use a color coding system. Now can I delete this book? Delete. Hey, deleting works. That's amazing. I need to know that I need images too. Does. Yep. Basically every single check that that's a very, very important thing. Now. I still can't edit. I still have zero words on both of these. But it's pretty cool. Biography. See, I want to be able to add new tags. I want to be able to add tags. I want to be able to delete tags. I'm going to be able to change the status of it and maybe I can do all of that once I get into the editor. Let's try again now. Open editor. Hey, Amazing right now idea. This is my AI copilot. It's got some weird formatting issues with some of the text here. So I'll just tell it that in a minute once I get there. Right now I'm on the free plan, so my subscription is going to limit me to just a few prompts. We'll have to test that, see if it's actually recording that. My cork board. I'm not sure what this means. Right. But let's add a character. Call him John. He's really cool and he's really smart. Now this is. I'm curious about this ad. Yeah. Talented and great ad kayaking. Okay. So we're going to create the character and that's cool. Awesome. Now I've got a character. Now I'm going to add new chapter. Okay. No content yet. Click here to start writing. Right. John went to the river. Okay. Can I. Does this work? Bold. Yep. That's great. Can I do that as well? John went to the river. What happened next? Whatever. Okay, so I can then just kind of go through this zero words idea. Cork board view. See what happens. It looked like it autosaved. That was actually super cool. What happens if I do a corkboard view? Editor view. Okay, so now I can drag chapters around possibly. Right? So maybe I can try a second chapter here. I don't know why these are like turning. What is it doing? Why is it moving those things? I don't like that. I don't want that to happen.
Maybe Steve Jobs told it to do it.
Maybe Steve Jobs told it to do it. And it's just sometimes it tries too hard. Guys. Okay, we're gonna. We're gonna ask. Actually, you know what we're gonna do? We're just gonna select it so we know exactly what's going on. Why are these cards turning and shifting randomly? So, guys, I'm doing this. I'm having you watch me just build my project. Because this is what you do. You go through and you test it and you say, what is happening here? Like what? Why are you making me do that right now? When I click editor. This is really interesting. You've got this. You've got this editor view here. And it pulls up chapter one. Oh, there's chapter two. There's chapter two. That's how that works there. Corkboard view, editor view. And I can just bounce between this. So this is. This is kind of interesting. There's a couple things that I didn't like about that, if I go to Corkboard View, I want to be able to get to the editor quickly. Maybe it just defaults to chapter one. Maybe that's okay. If I want to get to the editor, I can click that. Oh, that's Edit chapter status idea, drafting, editing finalized. So I should try to change one of those. Update chapter. Okay. Random rotation is not defined. Yeah, it looks like. Okay, found the issue. Here's where they're doing that. Let's fix this. Okay, let's pause. No, get rid of. So here's what it's doing. I wasn't paying attention. This is where you have to kind of watch a little bit, right? They're using a random rotation value. That's fine. And now it wants it to do it. Okay. Get rid of all rotations and animations on the cards. That is unnecessary. I spelled that right. I don't know. But it understands me. So now I just stopped it right in the middle of doing something like. No, dude. Like, stop it. Stop it. Right? We don't want. You don't want the cards to be just randomly turning. Like, is this breaking? Is my site breaking? So you just have to. Again, I'm the boss. I'm the CEO. If it's not doing it right, it's my fault. I'm not paying attention. I'm not telling it what to do. But again, I'm not doing anything that's really that complicated. Right. Templates hasn't been built yet, so I'm excited to see what that looks like once we build that out. Settings. We did build, although I haven't really tested a lot of this. I can't change my username, can't change my email, can't change my current plan, can't change the number of AI tokens used. Looks like I can enter an API key, which is really interesting. This is. This is so. Guys, this is pretty cool. Another way that you can have AI integrated into different things is instead of having your API key in there, you can just let them put their own API key in there. Right? Does that make sense? Guys, do you understand why you would have them put their own API key in there? No.
Pass on the cost to them.
Yeah, it pass on the cost to them. Then they have an unlimited plan. They can do whatever the heck they want. And you don't have to worry about getting, you know, stuck because someone, you know, abused your AI, Right? What if they. What if they spam it and send 4 million messages to you somehow with like some automation that they set up just to kind of mess with you, then they're going to charge your API key a lot. Now, you have ways actually to put protections and limits and things like that. On the, on the, on the OpenAI API side, like in your settings, you can say, hey, this API key has limits. It can only be used, you know, by one user this many times a day. You could set it over there. You can also set it inside of Replit, inside of your app itself. Hey, once they've hit this, just like my app is measuring, you know, how many, how many, you know, conversations you have in today. So maybe in the free plan, it's up to 10 questions a day. And in the paid plan, it's up to, you know, 200 questions a day. Right. But it's not 4 million. Right. And so you could ask it to do, you know, whatever you want to do. So you just have to kind of go through and think about why I would do this. But having somebody else dropping their own API key now, you might want to put some instructions here. Right? So maybe somebody could use the free plan, grab their own API key, and all of a sudden this is super useful for them and it's costing you almost nothing. Right. Maybe you charge them a dollar a month or something or $4 a month to have this. You know, if you want to use my API key, I'm going to charge you $15 a month. Okay. Because I'm going to, you know, you're, you're using my API credits and I want to make sure I don't get dinged for that. Okay. Looks also like my theme preferences don't work either. Okay. Removed all rotations animations from the corkboard cards. So let's go like this. Just going to grab this whole thing. Seems that this feature isn't set up yet. I'd like to, yeah, let's, let's, yeah, set it up. Go. Right. I was, I was going to try to give it some more instructions on kind of what I'd like to do, but let's just see, see if it can figure this out. So I'm curious how it measures system. Right. Is it going to pull from my. Does it know that it's 10:35am and it's going to use a light feature just because that's how it's set up? Or does it know that I'm in a light room or a dark room and the system knows that and somehow my app just can, you know, can sense that? I don't know how that works. Right. So it looks like we're going to set up that. So it's just going to start working on it. But guys, this is when I built Genaipi. It was just, it was this. Okay, I'm going to start here and I'm going to go through. I'm going to click every single button. Does that work? Yep. Does this work? Yep. Can I send a contact form and does it send an email to me? Yep. Great. Now I had to set that up, right? I had to set up the email stuff. And we'll talk about SendGrid in a second here. But you know, if I click on about us, does that go somewhere? Yep. Great. If I click on blog, does that go somewhere? Yep. If I click on the blog itself, does that go somewhere? If I click on, you know, this categories button, does that work properly? Oh, hey, got a little problem. When I, When I access the blogs through that tag or the category, the profile picture of the author isn't showing up and the author isn't showing up. Why? I have no idea. That's a weird problem, right? But hey, that's a little problem. So guys, when you're, when you're deciding whether or not you're going to put your credit card number into a website, you look for stuff like this, whether you're paying attention to it actively or not. You can just expect things to work, right? But if I were to click, for example, on live courses and I got a 401, or I got something that didn't work, or maybe something was really formatted bad and it just didn't look right. Or maybe I clicked on privacy policy and it went to a blank document. You know, those are, those are little like paper cuts, right? One of those, yeah. Oh, maybe the link's broken. Okay, whatever. But what if I click on the privacy policy and it's, it's not working or, and then I click on the terms of service and it says, you know, welcome to, you know, parentheses insert company here. And it didn't actually, you know, it hadn't really been put together properly or, you know, you just start to go through this and you find some problems and there's some misspellings, or, you know, you click on a button and it does nothing, right? Or, you know, I click on this and, you know, something breaks or there's an error, whatever it is, right? Or one of these crazy errors that we, you know, like, like we've been looking at over in here. One of these, one of these weird things pops up while you're in the middle of, you know, Working on a site or like, sorry, going, going through a site and you're deciding whether or not you want to buy this product, it's a death by a thousand paper cuts. What you have to do when you're building a new thing and launching it quickly, you have to, you have to pass the, the sniff test, right? They're just kind of going through and they're trying. And if they run into a problem, if it's a fatal problem, then, yeah, maybe they can't even check out. And you know, you're, you're, you know, you need to fix that. But, but if they just see a bunch of little things that are just a little off, you know, they might just be like, I just don't, I don't think this company really knows what they're doing quite yet. Maybe I'll come back later and see if they've figured it out, right? Or maybe I won't. Or maybe I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna go find another solution. They find another solution if you lost your opportunity to sell your thing. Okay, so that's critical. Going through the app step by step as a user to do this is really, really important. Okay, so let's go back into here, guys. I'm kind of just trying to work inside replit so you guys can see, see how I do it. You guys should be working on your project kind of on the side if you're good at following John. Yeah.
Go through this. But I'm curious how you go in and edit your project once it's deployed and live, and you do that on the spot. You have to unpublish it. How does that work?
Yeah, so we'll go over deployments in a little bit and I'll kind of skip ahead just a tiny bit here. It's really easy. You just click deployments here. And you know what? We'll just cover right now. It's actually a very quick topic. But basically, guys, you want autoscale, just do the recommended click, set up your deployment. We don't need to worry about the other stuff. Right here is where you're setting up your autoscale machine. Has anybody ever tried to buy a ticket for a Taylor Swift concert or a Tabernacle Choir concert or whatever they're trying to do, Right? Something that's going to be really popular and are like BYU tickets, right? And you get in and the site is just like so slow and you can't get in to buy those tickets and it's just not working. Right. That's because that site didn't have proper auto scaling set up. They weren't ready for 10,000 people to hit this, this link all at once. They weren't ready for, you know, a hundred thousand people to try to buy the tickets all at once. And so their servers crashed and they, you know, whatever. So you have a system here that will auto scale. This is the max number of machines. This does not mean you're always going to be using three machines, but you know, if you only want one, okay, you can do that, right? But I just stick with the recommended settings. Now, if you know you're going to be doing something that's going to get a huge amount of hits, you can actually go into your deployment later on and just scroll it all the way up and just say, all right, let's see what this is. The other thing you could do, guys, it says 264 compute units per second at max traffic. Does anybody here know how many people that translates to? I don't. I have no idea. So I would probably talk to Repwitnet, say, hey, here's what I'm anticipating. How many compute units are we doing? Can you run some tests on it really quick? Awesome. Now you're learning. Now you're figuring out what does that really translate to. But for now, guys, it's going to cost you nothing. It's your dollar a month to run this thing. You approve the default settings, let it go through, it will automatically set up all of your secrets. Your secrets, guys, remember, are your passwords and things that get to your database, your OpenAI, all of your APIs, everything that's happening there. Okay? And you see not to do anything here. Now you can change the domain name. This is Replit app. We will be able to do a custom domain later. We won't do that right this moment, but Replit app. So Scribe AI flow state. John. I don't know, maybe I'm just going to call it Scribe. Not Scribe. Scribe app. Amazing. That's available. Replit app. So I'll click deploy. And again, this is just a temporary domain, but now I'm deploying. So now, Keaton, to answer your question, when you, when you want to make an edit, right, all you have to do is come in here, right? Make your edits and updates and then you'll come to deployments. And there will be a button here in a second that just says redeploy, right? So you make all your edits redeploy super easy. You can do that at any time. Make a quick update I had someone the other day, they were coming in to buy a live course, and they. And they. They texted me. They said, hey, this Register now button doesn't work. Hey, guys, look, price is coming gone up. You guys were all. You guys are all in. In at the cheap level. I've already sold three at that level, so that's pretty cool. But anyway, register now. They would click it. Nothing would happen. And they're like, it doesn't work. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. But what was actually happening, it was opening this schedule tab. And if you're on a mobile device, you couldn't see that, right? It was like this. And they click on it, and it wouldn't do anything. It just click, click, click, click, click. And he's like, yeah, it's not working. And I went. And I was like, I know this works. Like, there's no way that's not working. And then I. But then I looked at it on mobile, and I added this feature to be able to. To be able to. Sorry, let me open up all these. All these videos here. Okay. I added this feature so that it would. It would automatically go down. Scroll down to the schedule. Oh, now I know I can click the Register now button. Register now. And go through and do all that. Okay. So, yeah, it's going to bring up my payment and all this stuff. Okay. So that's something I didn't know. But I was able to go in and in. In a minute or two, I was able to get. Yeah, I was probably. Let's say it's more like five minutes. Right? But in about five minutes, I was able to figure out what the problem was. And I said, hey, why don't you just make sure you auto scroll down to where they can then click the next session that's available. And I was like, great, I'll add that. Perfect. Okay, done. And then redeploy. Boom. And so then I texted the guy back. I was like, hey, it works now. And he's like, awesome, thanks. Right? No big deal. But sometimes there's just little things you got to fix, and, you know, that's just. That's just gonna happen until you decide to stop your company. Right? So. All right, Keaton, you did ask about the. I'm just checking on the chat here. The meeting chat here. Right? Has it. You know, have we sent out the. The Drive folder link yet? I have not sent it out yet. What I'll do, though, guys, is I will copy it for you right now and just give it to you. You'll have it. I'll send it in an email. Right. But I'll drop it here into the chat and you guys can then have access to all of that. But, yeah, anyway, if you see something that you don't know yet, that's because we haven't gone over it yet, and that's fine. Okay, this was users. We don't need that. Or this. Or this. Or this. Okay, we'll go here. All right. So, sorry, was there a question?
Oh, John, I just want to ask you something real quick.
Oh, Amy, you're getting a little bit of an echo because I think you have two devices on or something. Just mute that one or whatever. Let's see. Okay. There.
Okay. Sorry. Can you hear me?
I can, yeah, go ahead.
Oh, that's so weird. I. Okay. I was just wondering, on my. I. I was wondering, how do you create a logo? Can you do that in ChatGPT?
That's what we're doing next. As soon as we finish with these, we're going to be doing logos, we're going to be doing image generation with. With AI, Right. Which is really fun. Really fun. So, yeah, good question.
I had to jump off.
Really.
I had to go take care of my fire business.
You're okay, hold on a second. We're gonna mute, Amy. There we go. All right, go ahead. Resin.
Sorry, I had to put out a fire. Real quick. Can you give me a quick refresher on how to. Did you add the OpenAI API? Is that what you did?
Yep.
Can you show me how to do that real quick?
Yeah. To add the OpenAI key, guys, is super, super simple. First of all, the agent will tell you what to do. Just say, hey, I need to add in an OpenAI API key. I need to. Can we install OpenAI on my site? Right? And then it will tell you. Okay, Click here, go to this thing, grab this. Like, it'll tell you exactly what to do, right? So you don't have to. That. There's a thousand. There's 10,000, maybe a million APIs out there that you can install. I bet there's more than a million APIs. APIs out there that you can connect to to whatever it is, right? Some database, for instance, influencers or some, you know, report on, you know, earthquake activity. You know, what. Whatever it is, like, it's all out there. That information is out there. And there's an API for it, right? Like, I know there's the. The phrases. There's an app for that. There's an API for that. Like, there's almost everything you can imagine. There's an API for and chat GPT will tell you how to do it for OpenAI. It's going to say, go to the OpenAI API spot here and log in, snag your API key and paste it into the. Paste it into the chat or it'll. Or paste it into the secrets little thing that will pop up right here. Right. So for this one, I installed my API key. Oh, you know what? It was in the. It was in the last chat, so I can't go look at it right now. Okay. All right, guys, let's finish. Does that answer your question, Bryson? I know I kind of just said, hey, this is how you'll do it, but I didn't show you how to do it. You good? Okay, awesome. All right, guys, so back to. Back to AI or, you know, some replit secrets. I'm gonna do these pretty fast and you guys have access to this document now. Right? But they're really, really awesome. Sometimes you're worried. Some. I remember who was saying it earlier. They're like, yeah, I'm worried about, like, breaking this awesome thing. Maybe it was Matt. Right? Like, I don't want to mess it up. Right. Okay. Please create a plan to build this feature. Don't write any code yet. Just outline the steps and I will approve before proceeding. So, number one, you're going to learn about what it's going to do, how it's thinking about architecting it, and maybe you see something in there where you're like, I don't know if that's right. And you could just say, do you think this is the best way to do that? Right. Well, maybe I could consider something else. Okay. Yeah. Is there a better way to do this? Right. Is there a simpler way to implement this feature? Consider efficiency and speed, like load speed, for example, or customer speed or whatever it is. Right? So anyway, talk to it, learn from it. Do not modify anything except the front end layout in the login page as an example. Right? So, hey, just work on this feature. Don't do anything else. So, Brantley, when you're talking to your AI and it has all of this context that you've kept open for $12.50 of chat, sometimes it'll just like randomly go back and start working on something that it, you know, started, you know, seven prompts ago, but it didn't quite finish it, or it's like, I'm going to keep working on that thing, and you're like, no, stop it. Like, I only want you to Work on this thing right now, right? So sometimes you just have to stop it and say, what are you doing? Okay, next thing, please check for duplicate or conflicting code. This happens more than you think. It will say, hey, I need a new OpenAI integration. And you'll be like, but I already gave you. And there's already an OpenAI integration. Just use that one. Right? And so sometimes it will do that and you don't know it's duplicated something. So if there's a problem sometimes just copying and pasting this prompt, right? Hey, is there any conflicting duplicate code that's causing this issue? Okay, take a step back. Analyze what you just wrote. Are there any potential issues? Right? So sometimes when you're stuck in a loop and it does something, just. Just say, hey, look, I want you to take a step back and just. What, what is what you're doing the right way to do this? And are you considering, you know, everything in the. In the project, right? Have you considered this? Is there another way to do this? Because it doesn't seem to be working. Just talk to it. Also, I know this is kind of weird, but if you start to use stronger language with it, right? You know, sort of to swear at it before, like you're an idiot, right? I mean, if you say something like that. It is programmed to please you. It is programmed to please you, and it will try harder and it will try different things and will sense your frustration and it will actually work better. So that's kind of a fun. A fun trick. Sometimes, guys, this little, like, agent is waiting for your response or like, thinking, whatever, that'll disappear. The ui, you know, in. In replit itself will disappear. You can just click refresh. And you can click refresh in the middle of a step. If it's in the middle of building, it's building behind the scenes and it will just come right back to where it was. It does not stop the process, does not break anything. So just refresh it, start the chat new or whatever you need to. Okay, this one. I hope it just. I hope it saves you some time because it took me about three hours to figure out a really, really stupid little issue. Sometimes repl. It writes in languages that are different from what it expects. If you aren't seeing changes repeatedly like you would expect, ask it if it's writing in the correct language. So I had it working on something I was trying to actually do, Amy, and logo a thing a problem, right? And I was talking about the fave icon. The favorite fave icon, guys, is this little Tiny logo up here, you see in the browser, all these little logos are miniature versions called favicons. And I was trying to get mine to work and it just would not work. It would be like, yep, I installed it properly. And I'm like, no, you didn't. It's not there. Yep, I installed it properly. No you didn't. Right. Three hours of trying everything I could imagine. Finally it realized, oh, hey, the directory name is not defined. This is because we're using esm modules with TypeScript and directory name is only available in common JS models modules. I have no idea what an ESM module is with TypeScript or Common JS. Like I have no idea. There's no way I could know this. Just like probably most of you have no idea what that is. So you have to depend on the AI sometimes, but occasionally it gets itself stuck. And so what I did is I saved this image. You guys can download it to your computer. I have it sitting here on my desktop, it's right here. And I can grab it and drag it into my repl and say, hey, I know this isn't the exact problem, but is there something like this that's stopping you from fixing this problem? And then it'll figure it out. And then it's like, oh yeah, maybe. Let me consider whether or not we're using the wrong type of module for our type of project and we'll double check some of what it's doing. Anyway, now let's check if our fix for the feedback kind of works. And it worked. It finally worked. And so I was like, oh my gosh, copy the prompt, save it, whatever, let's keep it there. I think that's probably all that we need to do here, guys. In this document there's a few more things that you can go in and mess with. Why?
One quick question, John.
Yeah, what's up?
Sorry, if that's okay. Yesterday you mentioned saying deep search and I think I forgot to click that button in chat GPT.
That's okay. That's just part of your research flow and it's just a way to do it. Part of what we were doing yesterday, guys, is we were trying to learn how to use one AI with another AI to have them bounce off of each other. And we're going to do that right now. Time to dive into images, guys. Okay, you have access to this document. There's some other things, APIs and stuff like that, but read through it. It's pretty self explanatory. Just be careful, don't do anything Stupid. That's really the general, the general message there. Let's close. Out of all these things, okay, how many people here, let's just do a quick poll. How many people have not created an image with AI? Three people. That's amazing. That's a record. Almost everyone is like, yep, I've created an image with AI. All right, guys, creating images with AI is super, super, super, super fun and quite addicting. And once you learn what you can do, you're going to be taking all of your images on your phone and you're going to be changing them to like Toy Story animations or Studio Ghibli animation styles. And you'll be packaging yourself up as a toy. And, you know, there's lots of fun things and many of you have seen those, those types of prompts and things out there on the Internet. But let's dive in. There's a lot of different tools. One of them that we all know how to use is Chat GPT. Okay, so we're going to start with right now, though, guys, is we're going to do a logo. Okay. We're going to say, I need a logo for prescribe.
Perfect.
All right, so let's see what it does. All right. To create a standout logo Prescribe, we need to align to the product vision and focus modern writing platform for serious authors. So this is kind of what I'm going to think. Okay, that's great. So now it's giving us some kind of guidelines. Now you can read this and say, all right, I like this. I think this is good. Clean topography, focus on minimalism. That's kind of a Steve Jobs thing. So it could be a stylized quill or pen forming an s folded page, something like that. Just. Just show me. Just create a logo. Okay, so Chat GPT itself can create images right inside of the platform. Okay. Really awesome. So it's getting started right now. It's going to think about this for a minute. Now, one thing that I hate doing, guys, is waiting. So we're not going to wait. I'm going to be bouncing back and forth between different tools. Mid Journey is a really neat tool. Just got to refresh because I haven't loaded it for a minute.
Hey, John, is there. Is there a reason to use the desktop app for. For GPT instead of the browser?
This. Because it's there and I can click on it and find it right here. There. They can both do the same things. They're almost exactly the same. Is Mid Journey broken? What is happening with Mid Journey? What on Earth is happening. That is crazy. Mid Journey down not download down detector. No, we are not detecting any problem, but that's 17 down for everyone. Mid Journey. Is it down right now? Mid Journey is down for everyone. Oh, my gosh. This site has been unreachable for more than 660 days. No, it hasn't. What on earth is happening? I have never seen Mid Journey down in my life. Guys, we're going to try something here. We're going to try Discord, see if we can use Mid Journey through Discord, which is not typically what I like to teach, because if you don't know Discord or you're not comfortable with it, it's a little bit of a weird thing.
But John, does Grok create images too?
Could Grok do that? Yep. Basically every single. Yeah, let's just do a search. Okay, Mid Journey is showing up here. Why is it not working over here? Let's just. Let's just check this. Come on, Discord, do your thing. It's downloading an update. Mid Journey dot com. Okay, let's do Mid Journey search and just click on this. Can't be reached Midjourney images can't be reached. About is happening. Where is it? Mid Journey. Let's just go Mid Journey and let's look at news. Is there like a crazy.
Donnie, Let me go to it.
So I don't know. Really? Yeah. Okay. All right, we're going to try. All right. Maybe we just reset cache or something like that. Let me just do this really quick. Delete browsing data cookies. I hate getting rid of all my cookies. That's okay. I'll have to sign into everything again, but delete data, see if that works. Thank you. For someone else checking out, that's super helpful because I want to use Mid Journey. I think it's. I think it's really, really awesome. It's going to take a second because there's a lot of stuff there. All right. Honestly, guys, what do you think of this? Here's. Here's chap chat, GPT's first stab at a logo. What do you think, Bryson? I couldn't hear you. It looked like you said, I like it, but I said it's fine. Fine.
Chad's like, I. I don't like how the quill. The quill bends around. Like it's not distinct. There's something about the end of the quill pen that I didn't like, but I like the simplicity of just scribe.
Yep. And a quill kind of makes sense. I agree. Let's give It a little bit of feedback. Does anybody like it? Does anybody like, hey, this is kind of a cool stylized, you know, thing, how the quill kind of like it.
Actually maybe change the font.
You want to change the font? Okay. I don't like how the quill curls around. Make it more natural, make the font better. Can you ask ChatGPT, like, why it made it curl around? Well, it probably did because it was trying to follow this kind of S idea, right? A stylized quiller pen forming an S. It's kind of trying to probably do something like that. So it's kind of. I mean, it's not really an S, but, like, I don't know, maybe that's what it was thinking. Guys, I think ChatGPT is okay at creating logos. Okay. I just want to jump to the end here. I think it's okay. Now you can talk to it. You can have it create some different things. It created about the same font. Now the quill is a little bit better. And honestly, quite frankly, guys, this font or this logo right here is good enough. It really is. Like, could we work on it for a while and, like, get awesome? Totally. Right? But could you throw this on, like a. On a shirt, on a T shirt or on a hat or something?
Maybe the S could be bigger.
Yeah. And here's the thing, Amy, you're not wrong. You're also not right. Every. We have. We have 10 people or nine people on this call, whatever it is, and I guarantee you, we have 10 opinions, right? That's just how logos are. Logos and colors are so opinion driven. If any of you have ever been inside of a company that's done a rebranding, I rebranded seek, like four times. We would get 40 people in the room and be like, okay, everybody vote. And it would just be like, there's no consensus here. And we're just like, forget it, never mind. Like, I'm just going to decide, right? You just have to pick your colors, pick your logo and roll. I promise you, scribe will not succeed or fail because of how big the S is or whether or not my little quill has a little curl at the end. Right? It just won't. Right now we're going to keep looking at this, how to get, how to make some better logos and things like that, guys. But just for the purpose of understanding how to use AI really well. But I just want to say that right, right now, like, I'm going to ask you for your opinions on some other ones, and it's, you know, you're going to. Everyone's going to disagree and that's okay. It's not. None of you are wrong. It's just. It's just part of life is this disagreement. Okay, let's see if we can get Mid Journey to load now. Now that we've weird cached. I don't understand what's going on here. Might be temporarily down maybe. Okay, let's try. Let's try literally going, oh, you know what? Let's just try this. Let's try it over here. Mid Journey. Oops, I didn't do that. Right. Okay, perfect. Perfect. Safari worked.
Let's just have Ripplet build a Mid Journey clone real quick.
Exactly. All right. I'm going to log in. I'm going to continue with Discord. Come on, Discord. Sure. Enter password here. We'll just do my. There we go. Log in. Great. Authorize. I never use Safari, but hey, we're in. Awesome. Okay, so let's go to create and where are all of my images? Come on. Images, please. Please work. Please work. Mid Journey might be having some problems. Even if it logged in. Maybe it's just having some problems. Why is Discord continuing to not load? I've already done this three times now. I don't understand.
John. I'm getting a notification that there is an outage. It's a. The issue has been identified in the Texas being.
Let's just try something Image of Mind me later. Let's see if it loads an image here. So yeah, we might not be able to use Mid Journey, guys. We can't. Then we'll use it tomorrow. It's really quite an amazing system. My opinion. Hey, it is working. So this is good. My opinion is that Mid Journey is. So there's some outages, guys. Oh yeah. There we go. 100% complete. As soon as it pushed it to the server. There's a server problem because it's not loading any images. It should be loading tons of stuff. And Discord is down. Something's wrong. Something is wrong with the Internet. Do we have a major like AWS outage? AWS outage?
I don't know.
I don't know, guys. We'll figure it out. Someone will tell say something. We'll probably know it by tomorrow, but that's okay. All right. So yeah, I'm canceling mid journey for GPT4.0. Yeah, there's some. There's some good things about it. Let's go to ChatGPT. I really like this image. I think it's okay. We can go. We can go to Grok as Well, but here's what I want to do. Create a great prompt or Groq to create a similar logo. Okay, so this is something, guys, that we would be using with Mid Journey if we could get it to work, right? And we'll try it again. We'll try Repression again in a minute, see if somebody, you know has figured it out. But you can use AI to create prompts. Mid Journey has different types of prompts. So design a sleek, modern logo for a writing platform called Scribe. The logo should feature refined, natural looking white quill icon to the left of the word scribe set against a deep navy blue background. Okay, awesome. So we're going to go over to Grok and we're going to where's my X? And then let's go to. Oh, okay. I signed out of everything. Sign in maybe. I don't think this is right. I don't think that's it. Genie piano. Yeah, I think this is it. I haven't signed into these things for a while, but luckily my browser remembers me. Okay, cool. Let's check. That's it. Cheating piano. Yeah, I think this is it. I haven't signed into these things for a while, but luckily my browser remembers me. Okay, cool. Let's jump over to here and great. So now we'll see what Grok does. And normally, guys, I'm bouncing between a lot of different platforms, right? I'm mid Journey and ChatGPT. Jump over to here and great. So now we'll see what Grok does. And normally, guys, I'm bouncing between a lot of different platforms. Right. Mid Journey and Chat GPT and Grok and a couple others. Runway maybe. Runway is really cool. We'll do some cool. Ian Grok and a couple others. Runway maybe. Runway is really cool. We'll do some cool Runway stuff here. Let's log in so that we're just. No, I don't want this account. Why would it be doing that account? I want this one done. Runway stuff here. Let's log in so that we're just. No, I don't want this account. Why would it be doing that account? I want this one. We're in. Okay, perfect. So we'll come back to that later. Okay, Done. But didn't like these logos better than what Chat GPT created.
I'm a fan. I like the kind of more three.
We're in. Okay, perfect. So we'll come back to that later. Okay.
Feather look.
I like the more simplistic look of Chat GPT. Honestly. Yep. Yeah. Again, guys, you're neither of you are wrong, right? I mean, it's just. This is the game. You're gonna play with it, you're gonna like it. To me, personally, this feels like 1999, but in like these logos better than what ChatGPT created.
I'm a fan. I like the kind of more 3D feather look.
I like the more simplistic look of a little bit, right? Lots of 3D logos, lots of 3D marks, things like that. This is a little bit flatter in general. I mean, just. Guys, pick up your phones right now and look. Just open up and look at all of the icons that are on your phone, okay? For all of these different things that you're doing, are there any just. Just for Chat GPT? Honestly? Yep. Yeah. Again, guys, you're. Neither of you are wrong, right? And for example, are there any 3D images, like, on any of these? Like, there's a. There's a couple, right. But I'm looking at like DoorDash, OpenTable, Domino's, Facebook, Coinbase, Robinhood, the calculator, the weather app. The style, at least these days to feel kind of like in. Right. Is really more of a flat type image, right? I mean, it's just. This is the game. You're going to play with it, you're going to like it. To me personally, this feels like 1999. So let's say that, let's say make it more flat so that it feels modern. Okay? So we can talk to it and we can keep refreshing it, guys. And you can play with this, but you can have it do un a little bit, right? Lots of 3D logos, lots of 3D marks, things like that. This is a little believable things for you. I think that Grok and Chat GPT are pretty good at making images. None of them are as good as Mid Journey. They just aren't. But flatter in general. I mean, just. Guys, pick up your phones right now and look. Hey, Mid Journey at least did this. Maybe that's because. Let's continue with Discord. Let's try to log in here again and just see if it fixed itself, because that would be really cool. Continue. Authorize. Just open up and look at all of the icons that are on your phone. Okay. Hey, something's loading here. Yay, Mitch. Ready Fix itself in the last, like two minutes. Amazing. Now we get to try this. Okay, so now we're going to build some really cool stuff. All right. So I built other logos in here for different things, different projects I've worked on, you know, in. In teaching these Courses, you know, there's some, like, piano for all of these different things that you're doing. Are there any. Just. Just for example, are there any 3D images, like, on any of these? Like, there's a. There's a couple. Right. But I'm looking at, like, door dash, open table, dominoes, focus stuff. Like, some of these are kind of cool, right? Some kind of weird, some are a little abstract and whatever. But anyway, so we're gonna. I asked it to just make a quill here. That's not what I wanted. So we're gonna go back to ChatGPT and say, now make a prompt for Mid Journey. Yeah, let's say that. Okay. And so it'll think for a second it understands the context of the project, right? Because we're inscribe. It understands the context of the chat. It understands the context of my account. It knows what I'm talking about. Now make a prompt for Mid Journey. I didn't ask it to give me a logo. It understands what it meant. It also knows that I like V7 on mid journey because I Facebook, Coinbase, Robin Hood, the calculator, the weather app, the style, at least these days, to feel kind of like in. Right. Is really more of a flat type image. Right. So let's say that. Let's say make it more flat so that it feels modern. I say that a lot.
Hey, John.
Yeah, go ahead, Amy.
Okay, real quick. I just was looking on my phone like you mentioned to do, and the first thing that pulled up when I typed in Mid Journey was I clicked on. On accident and it came up. It was Chat GPT Pixie.
Yeah, that's a fake thing.
It's fake. Okay, don't.
Yeah, there's a lot of clones out there, guys. A lot of things. Like, you don't have to download Mid Journey. If you want to. You can. I think when you first download it, you do get some free credits, so you can try some things. And then if you want to pay, it's like five bucks a month or ten bucks a month or something. Just another tool. I like Mid Journey. I. I'm. I'm a Mid Journey fan. So here's my prompt. I copy this prompt from Chat GPT in here. Now, this may or may not work. Let's see. Okay, so we can talk to it and we can keep refreshing it, guys. And you can play with this, but you can have it do unmove, unlivable things for you. I think that GROK and chatgpt are pretty good at making images. None of Them are as good as mid journey. They just aren't. Hey, mid journey at least did this. Maybe that's because. Let's continue with. See if it does. No, stop asking me to do that. All right, so here we go. So what, what it's going to do. And by the way, one thing that it's going to be terrible at is, is letters and spelling. A lot of AIs cannot spell. Well, ChatGPT, only in the last, I would say month has figured out how to spell things nicely. Okay. But it did give us some nice, some nice feathers. So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to actually paste this again. Actually, no, I'm going to do. Yeah, no, you know what? I could go into ChatGPT and I'm going to say, hey, don't say the word. I'm going to do this. Give me a new prompt. So, Discord, let's try to log in here again and just see if it fixed itself because that would be really cool. Continue. Authorize. Hey, something's loading here. Yay. Midjourney fixed itself in the last like two minutes. Amazing. Now we get to try this. Okay, so now we're going to build that. We just see the quill, no words. Okay, so now here's a new mid journey prompt. And I actually like this one. I think it's going to be a pretty good. I think it's going to be a pretty good output. Okay, but you see how I'm using AI to make me better at using another AI, right? I'm having it help me build these prompts based on my ideas and based on everything that's going on here. It understands, understands the context of my project. I can ask it to do something. It keeps all of the guidelines in, you know, in mind. Some really cool stuff. All right, so I built other logos in here for different things, different projects, and then directs me over here because I've worked on, you know, in, in teaching these courses. You know, there's some like, piano focused stuff. Like some of these are kind of cool, right? Some kind of weird. Okay, so these are all just nice quills and quite frankly, like, they're all pretty good. Now there's, there's a few things that you want to think about, guys, as you're writing or. Sorry, as you're doing this. Right? Think about that. Some of them are a little abstract and whatever. But anyway, so we're gonna. I asked it to just make a quill here. That's not what I wanted. So we're gonna go back. Future app icon. Amy. Right. You're thinking about an app. Okay, great. Think about what is this going to look like if it's, you know, embroidered on a hat or a shirt or. Or something like that. Think about what is it going to look like as a fave icon. That's important. What's it going to look like up here? Right? Is this going to show up? Is it going to get lost? Is it too. Is this too detailed? Right. It's pretty, but is it too detailed? Right. And the way that you can know that, the way that you can kind of test that a little bit is you can just download the image, right. Download it to your computer and then you can just zoom out on it like this, Right. What does it look like when it's really small? Right. And you could say, hey, can I recognize that? Yeah, it's actually decently recognizable. The other thing I'm thinking about, guys, is does it remind me of anything else? Right. Does this remind me of Apple? No. Or anything, you know, anything else that just comes to mind? Right. This is not bad. It's kind of a pretty. It's kind of a pretty cool. Now there's kind of a weird white line down here. There's another problem with this logo that I just exposed. Guys. What is it? What happens when you zoom in? Well, it's pixelated, right? And so what if you want to put this on a billboard? You can't. What if you want to wrap your truck, Matt? Right? If you want to wrap something, how do we fix this? Anybody know any image people in here? We need a vector cloud. Exactly. So if you know how to do that, great, Right? Sometimes some images can be pretty hard to turn into a vector. And so you might need to. You might need to do something else. If I run into a problem where I'm like, you know what, guys, I don't want to deal with that right now. I'm going to worry about the logo later. But I, you know, I found it. I want to use this one and I just. I decide on that. Well, I can go to Fiverr and I could pay five bucks or ten bucks and someone will vectorize the file for me, right? And they'll give me an awesome whatever thing, right? And so I would just literally search PNG to vector or whatever, right? Vector creation and have somebody in, you know, Bangladesh or wherever they are knock that out for me and they'll have it back to me tomorrow and I'll. I'll upload it into my. Into my project. Okay. So I think these are okay. I, you know, I want them. I want them to be better. I'm going to say make. Emphasize simplicity. Okay. So I'm going to. I'm going to see if we can get rid of some of these lines. There's just a few things that could be better with this image, and I'm not going to do this a whole lot more. And I'm going to pick one and then we're going to install the logo on my website right on scribe. Okay. While this is thinking, right, it's. It's going to build. It's going to build me a new. A new prompt here for, for this. And I'm going to paste. I'm going to let it work. What I did, guys, when I built out gen AIPI is I went to design.com, right? So I could say scribe and I could say quill. Let's just try that, right? Quill. Writing, elegant, whatever, keywords, right? So design.com guys uses AI and uses some cool tools to, to. To put together some examples of logos. And, you know, I could come in here. You know, this is kind of a crazy one. There's like an S almost kind of. There's the S. It's almost like two. Abstract. It's cool, but it's like almost too much. Again, you're all going to disagree with whatever I choose, and that's fine. Or maybe like three of you will like, like it and six of you won't and whatever. You can try to do some user testing if you want, if you really, really care about it. I kind of like round logos. Not that I love this one, but like, this kind of logo right here is pretty good. It's going to look like if you look up here, guys, look how many round logos there are. Round, square, round, round, square, round, round, round, round, square, round, round. Like, it's. It's nice to have it so that it fits that way. Also, where else uses round images? Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, every profile, everywhere you're showing up everywhere, it's a round or a square logo like that that can fit inside of a box. Like that is really, really awesome. So the reason I like this, the reason I like design.com guys is because you can find something and then, you know, you come in here and let's see here, let's go. Let's just pick. Oh, I don't even know what to pick here, guys. I don't love any of these, really. So we'll. We'll pick. We'll pick. Nah, yeah, we'll pick this one. Why not? Maybe I need to log in. I'm gonna have to log into everything again. That's okay. We'll just go. We'll. We'll click on this blue color. Journey might be having some problems. Even if it logged in. Maybe it's just having some problems. Why is Discord continue. And, and then here's, here's the cool thing. I can come in here, I can change my color. I can do whatever I want to do to not load. I've already done this three times now. I don't understand.
John. I'm getting a notification that there is an outage. It's a. The issue has been identified in Texas.
Being I can make it, you know, a gradient or I can do a solid color, whatever I want to make happen and then I can just click download. Now it's going to make me sign up here and I don't want to actually do that. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go back and I'm going to try to log in. Did I log in with this? I don't know if I logged in with this account. I'm just going to show another one that I bought in here so you can see what it does. Let's just try something. Image of a Find me later. Let's see if it loads an image here. So yeah, we might not be able to use Mid Journey, guys. We can't. We'll use it tomorrow. It's really quite an amazing system. My opinion. Hey, it is working. So this is good. My opinion is that Mid Journey is. So there's. Okay, my account designed dot com. My account. Where are my logos? Where are my logos? Maybe it's over here. I think it might be. I think it might be load state. Here it is. Okay. Some outages, guys. Oh yeah, There we go. 100% complete. As soon as it pushed it to the server. Yeah, there's a server problem because it's not loading any images. It should be loading tons of stuff. And Discord is down. So this is how I made my Gen Aipad look when I'm building a business in three days, guys, like I gotta move fast, right? And something's. Something's wrong. Something is wrong with the Internet. Do we have a major like AWS outage? AWS outage. Oh, I didn't have time to, you know and I, I could, I could have done a fiverr and I did actually something else on Fiverr for it. But. But for the logo. I was Just like, I need something. Let's go. Right? And so I found a logo. My idea for this one, I actually really liked it is it was supposed to be a brain mixed with. I don't know. I don't know, guys. We'll figure it out. Someone will tell, say something. We'll probably know it by tomorrow. Like some circuits, right? Because my idea was, hey, how do we get people to work with AI Better? Right? That was the idea. And so this was. This was nice. I was like, yeah, I could throw that on a hat, I could throw that on a shirt. I could throw that. You know, it's a great. That's okay. All right. So, yeah, I'm canceling mid journey for GPT4. Oh, yeah, there's some. There's some good things about it. Let's go to ChatGPT. I really like this image. I think it's okay. Here it is right here. There's the fave icon, right? You can see that on my screen, right? So it worked. Okay. And all I did was I selected this and I selected, you know, it was. It was, you know, whatever color we can go to, we can go to Grok as well. But here's what I want to do. Create a great prompt. It was. And I was like, I use green colors. Okay? Oh, there it is. Okay. Gen or Grok to create a similar ipi. Boom. Okay. And it worked really well. And he used this green. It was. Had been building with this green accent throughout the site. And I kind of liked it. So I was like, let's just roll with that. So I just kind of stuck with this green. And I went, is anyone good? Logo. Okay, so this is something guys that we would be using with Mid Journey if we could get it to work. Right? Um, and we'll try it again. We'll try Repression again in a minute. To not buy from me because of this logo. Could it be better? Maybe, like. But it's not. It's one of those. It's not one of those paper cuts, right? If it was really, really bad, let's see if somebody, you know, has figured it out. But you can use AI, like not formatted or it was like pixelated or something. Like. It's just a style question. But people want to create prompts. Midjourney has. Different types of prompts aren't really going to make a buying decision based off of a logo. They're just not. So you find your logo. So design a sleek, modern logo for a writing platform called Scribe. Logo should feature a refined, natural looking White quill icon to the left of the word scribe set against a deep navy blue background. Okay, awesome. And the cool thing about this here is when you go to download on design.com, if this is what you decide to use, you can get your solid background, your transparent background. You can grab your eps, which is your vector file, because PDF, svg, and you can grab all your. So we're going to go over to Grok, and we're going to where's my X? And then let's go format just instantly. So I loved that. This gave me what I needed right away. Then I could upload these things, blow them up, make them small, and it looked awesome. Okay, so we're going to go back to. Oh, okay. I signed out of everything to. We're going to close out of this, and we're going to go back to Mid Journey. I don't think this is right. I don't think that's it. Cheney piano. Yeah, I think this is it. I haven't signed into these things for me to see if it gave us an ultra minimalistic quill. You know, some of these are like, whatever. I mean, it's not bad. I'm gonna go back to ChatGPT and look at the one that it gave me here. See, this one's actually pretty good. I actually kind of just like this for a while, but luckily my browser remembers me. Okay, cool. So for now, I'm just going to save this one. Okay, we're going to save it as scribe. Jump over to here, and great. So now we'll see what Groq does. And normally, guys, I'm bouncing between a lot of different platforms. Right. Mid Journey and chatgpt and Grok and a couple others. Runway, maybe. Runway is really cool. We'll do some cool logo now. If I was really doing it properly, I would separate out the quill itself, and I would probably just go into Photoshop to do that, and it would just take me a minute to get it right. I'm not going to do that for right now, but assuming I did, here's what I would then do. I would say, Runway stuff here. Let's log in so that we're just. No, I don't want this account. Why would it be doing that account? I want this one done. All right, here is the logo for. It's interesting. I wonder if. Hey, we have a light. We have light. Dark system. System doesn't work yet. That's okay. I'm not surprised about that. I was curious about how that works. Hold on. What If I leave here and go back to the bookshelf. Yeah, it saves that. I didn't have to. We're in. Okay, perfect. So we'll come back to that later. Okay. Save on the preferences. So that's interesting. All right, here's the logo for Scribe. But you like these logos better than what Chat GPT created.
I'm a fan. I like the kind of more 3D feather look.
I like the more simplistic look of. Let's replace the top logo with this and apply it throughout the site. Let's also use this as the fave icon, which is actually Chat GPT. Honestly. Yep. Yeah. Again, guys, neither of you are wrong, right? Actually kind of a bad favicon because it should just be the feather. But I'm not going to spend time right now, only because, I mean, it's just. This is the game. You're going to play with it, you're going to like it. To me personally, this feels like 1999 a little bit. Right? Lots of 3D logos, lots of 3D marks, things like that. This is a little bit of time constraints and I don't want to. I don't want to spend time doing it today, so. But that's all it takes, guys. You drag the file into here, you tell it what you want to do with it, right? And I could have potentially even, you know, clicked element selector and selected this. But, you know, it's just going to add this in and we're going to have. We're going to have some logos. We'll have this nice little feather image that'll show up right here at the top. But flatter in general, I mean, just. Guys, pick up your phones right now and look. Just open up and look at all of the icons that are on your phone, okay. For all of these different things that you're doing, are there any just. Just for. I don't love that. Yeah, I mean, there's just a couple little things that I don't love. Like, I want there to be. Maybe a footer like this almost feels incomplete. And maybe it. Maybe it's not incomplete. Free plan. Yeah, I can't mess with my profile yet. Settings. Second book, recent books, create first chapter, for example. Are there any 3D images, like, on any of these? Like, there's a. There's a couple. Right. But I'm looking at, like, DoorDash, OpenTable, Dominoes, Facebook, Coinbase, Robinhood, the calculator, the weather app, this, please. Great. First chapter. There we go. So this is kind of a weird thing, right? Right. Tests style. At least these days to feel kind of like in. Right. Is really more of a flat type image. Right. I actually kind of just love working in here. I'm going to write a book in here. I'm going to actually try this. I wonder if it saved that after resetting right there. Nope, it didn't. So let's say that. Let's say make it more flat. Tests. Let's go back to first book. Seven words. Hey, it is there. Yep. Open words. John went to the river. What happened next? Okay. So that it feels modern. Okay. So we can talk to it and we can keep refreshing it. Guys. And you can play with this. But you can have it do unbelievable things for you. I think that Grok and ChatGPT are pretty good. Great. An editor tests one words. It's detected one word. Now it's interesting. Interesting. Lots of things I would mess with, guys. There's still a lot of things I would change in here. Right. For example, I can't change the phase that I'm in from idea to planning or whatever after I've created it. I need to be able to do that. Even at making images. None of them are as good as Mid Journey. They just aren't. If I open this, I have no way to change the stage that I'm in. Hey, Mid Journey at least did this. Maybe that's because. Let's continue with Discord. Let's try to log in here again and just see if it fixed itself because that would be really cool. Continue. Authorize. All right, let's see. Sidebar component to use the logo image. I don't see it doing it yet. Started working on this. Okay, I've got a couple questions. I love team logos. That's cool. Vibe aligned. Hey, something's loading here. Yay, Mitch. Ready to fix itself in the last, like two minutes. Amazing. Now we get to try this. Okay, so now we're going to build like that. Spencer. It's kind of like a. It's kind of like a heartbeat. Some really cool stuff. All right, so I built other logos in here for different things, different projects I've worked on. You know, in. In teaching these courses. You know, this is like piano. Like, what do you call it? What's that symbol called when you're like in a hospital? Spencer, do you share your. Oh, yeah, there's yours right there. You know. Okay, cool. Yeah. Guys, everybody's logo is gonna. You know, some people are gonna like them, some people are not gonna like them. And it doesn't. It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter, guys, right? Move on, move forward, no focus. Stuff. Like, some of these are kind of cool, right? Some are kind of weird, some of them are a little abstract and whatever. But anyway, so we're gonna, you know, I asked it to just make a quill here. That's not what I wanted. So we're gonna go back to ChatGPT and say, now make a prompt for mid. Find the next problem. Right? You have bigger problems. You need customers. Okay, so journey. Yeah, let's say that. Okay, Creating images, guys, in inside of Chat GBT is really, really cool. Now I want to try something else here. We're going to go to Chat GPT actually, here's what we're going to do. We're going to say, we're going to say create an image of an author, right? And so it'll think for a second it understands the context of the project, right? Because we're inscribe. It understands the context of the chat. It understands the context of my account. It knows writing a book at his computer. I didn't give it any. What I'm talking about. Now make a prompt for Mid Journey. I didn't ask it to give me a logo. It understands what it meant. It also knows that I like V7 on mid journey because I stylistic details like, is this going to be a realistic, a photorealistic image? Is this going to be a cartoon image? Is it going to be some abstract something like. I don't know. Obviously I should give it better prompts, but I just said create an image of an author writing a book at his computer. Now am I going to use this on my scribe site? I don't know. I don't even know if there's going to be any, any images in here. Right. I say that a lot.
Hey, John.
Yeah, go ahead, Amy.
Okay, real quick. I just was looking on my phone like you mentioned to do, and the first thing that pulled up when I typed in Mid Journey was I. I clicked on it on accident and it came up. It was Chat GPT Pixie.
Yeah, That's a fake thing.
It's fake.
Okay, don't like. It's really, really clean. Okay. Yeah. See, it put this, it put this logo like really tiny here, inscribe. So I don't like that. Obviously it's not great, but I didn't really give it clear instructions. I could just say, hey, only leave this, make it bigger and get rid of this. Right? I'll probably do that. Yeah. There's a lot of clones out there, guys, a lot of things, like, you don't have to download Mid Journey if you want to. You can. I think when you first download it, you do get some free credits so you can try some things. And then if you want to pay, it's like five bucks a month or ten bucks a month or something. Just another tool. I like Mid Journey. I. I'm. I'm the auth page. We use this now as well. And I think that's the only places that it's doing it, but it. It's setting up fave icons, sidebars, the Mid Journey fan. So here's my prompt. I copied this prompt from Chat GPT in here. Now, this may or may not work. Let's see logos. Okay, so it's working. All right, let's see what we got here. So we've got a guy that's writing a book. He's got out his pen, kind of.
Looks like Steve Jobs.
He looks awesome. See if it does. Stop asking me to do that. All right, so here we go. So what. What it's going to do. And by the way, one thing that it's going to be terrible at is letters. Thrish. Yeah, he does. Huh? So that's kind of cool. Then I could say, you know, create this image. Whoa. This image in the style and. And spelling a lot of AIs cannot spell well. Chat GPT only of Tarzan animation. I'm doing this just for fun, guys, because I want you to see what it's capable of doing in the last. I would say month has figured out how to spell things nicely. Okay. But it did give us some nice. Some nice feathers. So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to actually paste it. Grok can do this to a certain extent, but not as well. Chat GPT right now really is the best. Yeah, I made it more flat, but it actually didn't because it lifted it up off. I don't want it this again. Actually, no, I'm gonna do. Yeah, no, you know what? I could go into ChatGPT and I'm gonna say, hey, don't say the word lifted. I don't want the 3D. I don't want the 3D. And yeah, see, this looks like Jeopardy. Like, you know, movies for 400. Like, that's. That's what it. I'm gonna do this. Give me a new prompt so that we just see the quill. No words. Feels like right here for me at least. That's just my. My feeling. Okay, so let's do the same thing. Create an image of an author. Hold on. I want to actually copy the exact same prompt. So now here's a new mid journey prompt. And I actually like this just for fun. Come on. Nope, this one, I think it's going to be a pretty good. I think it's going to be a pretty good output. Okay, but you see how I'm using AI to make me better at using another AI, right? I'm having IT help me build these and I'm going to go paste. Go. We'll see what GROK does. Grok's image generation is faster, but not as good. That's just, that's just how it is. These prompts, based on my ideas and based on everything that's going on here, it understands the context of my project. I can ask it to do something. It keeps all of the guidelines in, you know, in mind. It's using a different model, it's using a different style to make this happen. And yeah, look at this Tarzan animation style and then directs me over here. It's pretty cool. So I could potentially use this image. If I'm not putting any images inscribe, where else could I use it? Well, maybe I'm going to have social, right? Maybe I'm going to have an email campaign and I need a good image. Okay. So these are all just nice quills and quite frankly, like, they're all pretty good. Now there's, there's a few things that you want to think about, guys, as you're writing or, sorry, as you're doing this, right? Think about that for that image, you know, where I've got some text wrapped around it and it's going to be all pretty or whatever, right? And say, are you working on your next book? Like, this is the new feature. Check this out. Here's what's happening. But look, look how good that is, right? That's, that's pretty awesome. It, it snagged the extra paper here. It got the book, got the pen. Future app icon. Amy. Right? You're thinking about an app. Okay, great. Think about what is correct. Got the hands looking nice. Got the computer and the keyboard. His hand is at the keyboard. He's looking like. That's a pretty dang good representation there. Is this going to look like if it's, you know, embroidered on a hat or a shirt or, or something like that. Think about what is it going to look like as a fave icon. That's important. What's it going to look like up here? Right? Is this going to show up Is it going to get lost? Is it too. Is this too detailed? You can use. Guys, you can use this for so many amazing things, right? If I just open up my own photos and I just pick. I don't know, let's. Right? It's pretty, but is it too detailed? Right? And the way. See what this is? This looks like a picture of me and myself. Son. That's not my son, but that is. Yeah, this is. This is a picture of my son. We're just. That you can know that the way that you can kind of test that a little bit is you can just download the image, right? Download it to your computer, and then you can just zoom out on it like this, right? What does it look like when it's really small, right? And you can say, hey, can I recognize that? Yeah. Going to download this really quick. Just drag it into downloads and then we'll come back to here and then we'll just drag this in here and we'll say create this image in the style of Studio Ghibli. It's actually decently recognizable. The other thing I'm thinking about, guys, is does it remind me of anything else? Right? Does this but zoom out and make him standing at the edge? This remind me of Apple? No. Or anything, you know, anything else that just comes to mind? Right? This is not bad. It's kind of an edge of the Grand Canyon. See how it does with that. Okay, we're also going to try something else. Guys, I want to show you another really neat thing that. Now, mid journey. Guys, it's kind of a pretty quill. Now there's kind of a weird white line down here. There's another problem with this logo that I just exposed. Guys, what is it? What happens when you zoom in? Mid journey can do really, really, really amazing things. So here's. Here's my. Yeah, Middle L. Well, it's pixelated, right? And so what if you want to put this on a billboard belt loathe and there's a quill sticking out of his hand? You can't. What if you want to wrap your truck, Matt? You know, that's just kind of weird. There's a quill sitting right here. That's actually kind of cool. I actually kind of like this except for the fact that this text is not great. This guy is sitting here using. Right. If you want to wrap something, how do we fix this? Anybody know any image people in here? You need an svg. We need a vector file. Exactly. So if you know how to do that. Great, Right. Inscribe and here's my logo just sitting here, right? My little feather, my little quilt. Sometimes some images can be pretty hard to turn into a vector. And so you might need to, you might need to do something else. So it's actually not bad. So again, you just have to be creative and fun and, you know, build. If I run into a problem where I'm like, you know what, guys, I don't want to deal with that right now. I'm going to worry about the logo, what you like, and interpret it how you like and, and do whatever. Mid Journey, though, let's give it, let's. Image an image of an author later. But I, you know, I found it, I want to use this one and I just, I decide on that. Well, I can go to Fiverr and I could pay five bucks or ten bucks and someone will vectorize the file for me, right? And they'll give me an author writing a book at his computer. And let's see what Mid Journey does here when we give it the same prompt. Awesome, whatever thing, right? So I would just literally search PNG to vector or whatever. Right. Vector creation came and we'll see what happens. Mid Journey is capable, in my opinion, of the most grandiose, awesome, awesome images. Like I was making one for a pool company last week. I was building a pool company and, and have somebody in, you know, Bangladesh or wherever they are knock that out for me and they'll have it back to me tomorrow and I'll, I'll upload it into my, into my project. Okay. So look how pretty this is. I asked it to make a nice backyard pool in, you know, I think these are okay. I, you know, I want them, I want them to be better. I'm gonna say there's some mountains in the background to represent, to make it look like it's in Utah. Right. But then I said put a waterfall, add a waterfall in there, right? Make. Emphasize simplicity. Okay. These are some of the options that it gave me. And this is like a beautiful artistic. Like it's obviously not real, but that was kind of what I went for. I wanted it to be, I wanted to just be really pretty. Right. And so I'm going to, I'm going to see if we can get rid of some of these lines. There's just a few things that could be better with this image and I'm not going to do this a whole lot more. And I'm going to pick one and then we're going to install the logo on my website. That's pretty cool. You can create so many cool images. You know, this one's pretty good, right on scribe. Okay, while this is thinking, right, this guy's got his pen. Although it's kind of. His hand is kind of messed up here. These little details matter. In my opinion, if you're going to use AI, guys, use it, right? This guy's got a pen. It's. It's going to build. It's going to build me a new. A new prompt here in his hand. Also. That's not great. This guy just looks like he's working at his computer now. It's cool that there's kind of a book almost right here. I don't know what that is, but I don't know for this. And I'm going to paste. I'm going. Let it work. What I did, guys, when I built out gen AIPI is I went to design.com kind of nice. This guy looks like he's just working in his office. Different styles, right? So I could say scribe and I could say quill. Let's just try that, right? Quill. Writing you can do. You can do such amazing things. You can do such amazing things with AI. It's endless, endless fun. So we took this image, right? He's just standing here. He's got his. He's showing off his little fool's gold that he found at the Mormon Battalion down in San Diego, if you've ever been there. And I moved him to the Grand Canyon and put him in an elegant whatever keywords, right? So design.com guys uses AI and uses some cool tools to put together some examples of logos. And you know, I could come in here. You know, this is kind of a crazy one. This is like an S almost animation style. That is freaking cool, guys. It says, ready player one. What does it say on here? Oops, it got the. There's the S. It's almost like too abstract. It's cool, but it's like almost too much. Again, game day. And like a little basket. It says, ready to play? Game on. Got it. And here it just changed it. So it did a pretty dang good at analyzing everything and put him right next to the edge. You're all going to disagree with whatever I choose, and that's fine. Or maybe like three of you will like, like it and six of you won't mountain. Whatever. You can try to do some user testing if you want, if you really, really care about it. I kind of like round logos. Not that I love this one. The Grand Canyon. I'm blown away, guys. I just Think that's so freaking cool. Like, I don't know about you, but I could do this all day long. It's super fun. But like, this kind of logo right here is pretty good. It's going to look like if you look up here, guys, look how many rounds. Super fun to play with stuff like this. And you know what? That, that. That's going to be saved. I think it's really, really neat. And I'm gonna. I'm gonna airdrop it to myself so I can. Logos there are round, square, round, round, square, round, round, round, square, round, round. Share it later. It's a good. It's a good post. I don't know why it's not opening for me. PNG preview. Like, it's. It's nice to have it so that it fits that way. Also use round images. Facebook, right? So, guys, I want you to play with this stuff if you haven't played with it a lot. Like get Instagram, Twitter, every profile, everywhere you're showing up, everywhere it's around or is really, really creative. And build cool stuff, right? Build it for your business, build it for fun, build it for your social, build it for whatever, okay? But the more you do it, the more you talk about it like it. You just. You'll get. You'll get really good at it. Now I've got that on my phone. I can easily post that social square logo like that. That can fit inside of a box. Like that is really, really awesome. So. And talk about AI, right? It's very on topic for me, right? I talk about AI a lot. The reason I like this, the reason I like design.com guys, is because you can find something and then, you know, you come in here and let's see here, let's go. Let's just pick. Oh, I don't even know. And I can do that. And I talk about my family a lot. So again, very on topic. Very cool to pick here, guys. I don't love any of these really. So. All right, guys, questions I want you guys, I want to just like open. Open my questions about AI, image generation, different platforms to use. We only went over ChatGPT, Mid Journey and Grok. There are a lot other. A lot of others. How do you decide which one's the best? And things like. We'll pick. Yeah, we'll pick this one. Why not? Maybe I need to log in. I'm gonna have to log into everything again. That's okay. We'll just go. We'll click on this blue color and. And then here's here's the cool thing. I can come in here, I can change my color. I can do whatever I want to do that. But what. What questions do you have? Or do you have questions about how to take images or logos and drop them into your project in repli.
I have a quick question.
Yeah. I can make it, you know, a gradient or I can do a solid color, whatever I want to make happen. And then I can just click.
I did notice there's maybe if you have to sign up for midjourney. Is that correct?
Yeah, midjourney. You sign up for it and download. Now it's going to make me sign up here and I don't want to actually do that. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go back and I'm going to try to log in then, you know, I think there's a. I think you get a free. Maybe you don't get a few free images anymore. It might be. It might just be only paid now. Mid Journey pricing. Did I log in with this? I don't know if I logged in with this account.
Yeah, I think I just signed up. It's like 10 bucks a month.
Yeah, it looks like it's 10 bucks a month. Show another one that I bought in here so you can see what it does for the basic plan. And then I. I think I'm only on that. And by the way, guys, like, 10 bucks a month, like that plan, you will get so many images, you won't even. Like, you could get a thousand images with that. Okay. My account designed plan. Like, there's no way you're going to use it. Okay. So it's very, very awesome in terms of the number of credits you get. Dot com. My account. Where are my logos? Maybe it's over here with that one. Another thing that I love. And we're going to do it tomorrow. We'll play with. We'll play with Runway, Runway ML, which is really, really awesome, where you can take those images and bring them to life and make a video. AI right. You can animate your whatever, anything you want here. I think it might be right. Whether they're real images. Like I brought for Easter, I brought to life some. It might be. Here it is. Okay. So this is how I made my gen iPad look. When I'm building a business in three days, guys, like, I got to move fast, right? And some classic images of Christ, like, I brought them to life. So now he's like walking out of the tomb and like, really interesting stuff, right? I was Trying to be, you know, very reverent around it, right? But. Oh, I didn't have time to, you know, and I. I could. I could have done a fiber, and I did actually something else, but I, you know, and some of the outputs were not great, and I had to try, like 40 times to get it exactly right. But I, you know, I brought stuff to life. You can bring stuff to life. You can bring yourself to life. You can. You can fiverr for it. But. But for the logo, just like, I need something. Let's go, right? And so I found a logo. My idea for this one, I actually really, like, bring, like, that little image of my son next to the Grand Canyon. I could say, hey, you know, have a. Have a raptor come running out and chasing him, you know, along the site. Whatever I want to do, I can make that really, really fun for him. Is it. It was supposed to be a brain mixed with, like, some circuits, right? Because my idea was, hey, how do we get people to work with AI better? Right? That was the idea. And so for your kids, obviously, as they start to play with AI, they will love it. Other questions about image. This was. This was nice. I was like, yeah, I could throw that on a hat. I could throw that on a shirt. I could throw that. You know, it's a great generation, guys. Right? Here it is right here. There's the fave icon, right? You can see that on my screen, right? So it worked. Matt, I like your move. My piano. Where did you make that? Was that in ChatGPT? Yeah, that was chat GBT, actually wheels on it. I think it's. I think it's pretty good. And all I did was I selected this, and I selected, you know, it was. It was, you know, whatever color, something's off with it. I think it's because it's not. It doesn't look totally like a piano on ChatGPT. You can't figure out how to make it bell of it look proper. It was. And I was like, I use green colors. Okay. Oh, there it is. Okay. Gen Aipi. Boom. Okay. And it worked really well. And it used this green. It was. It had been building with this green accent throughout the site, and I kind of liked it. So. Yeah, it's okay. It's okay. You might do better with design.com, but anyway, no, it's cool. I was like, let's just roll with that. So I just kind of stuck with this green, and I went, is anyone good? What else, guys? I like moveo. Who did this? Who's Brantley? Movello is pretty good.
That's mine.
It could use maybe just a tiny tweak of that V in the middle of the Y. Gonna not buy from me because of this logo. Could it be better maybe like. But it's not like maybe being centered just a tiny bit more.
But he's actually supposed to be clock hands.
But it's one of those. It's not one of those paper cuts, right? If it was really, really bad, like not formatted or it was like pixelated or something like it's just a style question. But people clock hands. Yes. I didn't recognize that. So maybe tell it to make it look, you know, maybe make it a little thinner or something or maybe put some ticks so it looks like a clock, you know, I don't know. But aren't really going to make a buying decision based off of a logo. They're just not. So you find your logo cool. I like it. I like it. Am I saying that right?
I've got a. I've got a lowercase. It's Fran Atlas.
Fran Atlas. Got it. So you got to change. And the cool thing about this here is when you go to download on design.com, if this is what you decide to use, you can get some of the text a little bit. So guys, look, I'm telling you, once you have a logo that's pretty good if you create something with AI that you love. Well, Chad's is like crazy. Like all these connector things, client connect, take it your solid background, your transparent background. You can grab your eps, which is your vector file, PDF, SVG and grab all your formats just instantly. So I loved that this gave me what I needed right away. Then I could upload these things, blow them up, make them smaller. It looked awesome. Okay, so we're going to go back, take it to Fiverr, ask somebody to turn it into a good vector flat logo or whatever you to. We're going to close out of this and we're going to go back to mid journey we want. Right, but ask them for those files. It cost you five bucks, ten bucks and it just takes it off your plate and you come back to it later and you can like really nail down what you're trying to do. But you can get, if you get, if you get it 90% of them. See if it gave us a, an ultra minimalistic quill, you know, way there with AI, that graphic artist and wherever can do it for just a few bucks and have give you exactly what you need. So awesome. All right, some of these are like, whatever. I mean, it's not bad. I'm gonna go back to ChatGPT and look at the one that it gave me here. See, this one's actually pretty good. I actually kind of just like this for questions about image generation, whether it's logos, hero images, anything. 1. So for now, I'm just going to save this one. We're going to save it as Scribe product images. How would you use Logo Now? If I was really doing it properly, I would separate out the quill itself and I would these tools to automate your social media for your brand, let's say not for yourself, but for your brand, your new company. What if you want to post every day and you're like, I don't have time to post every day, but you want it to create an image every day related to something with, you know, a quote from, you know, your website or some important topic or some selling point. Anyone think about how they would do that, how they would automate it?
Isn't there already a tool called Buffer.
That you could create a replica of.
Buffer that use it to images?
Yeah. So Buffer is a site that allows you to probably just go into Photoshop to do that. And it would just take me a minute to get it right. I'm not going to do that for right now. But assuming I did, here's what I would then do. I would say, all right, here is the logo for Interesting. I wonder if. Hey, we have a light. We have light. Dark system. System doesn't work yet. That's okay. I'm not surprised about that. I was curious about how that works. Hold on. What if I leave here and I go back to the bookshelf? Yeah, it saves that. I didn't have to schedule out posting. You're exactly right, Bryson. That's one thing you would do. But how do you get images from mid journey into Buffer? But I mean, you can do it manually, right? You could say, all right, once a week I'll sit down and I'll create like, save on the preferences. So that's interesting. All right, here's the logo for Scribe 7 images and I'll generate that. How would you automate it so that you don't even have to do it? Let's replace the top in the top. You know, logo.
I'll ask Rock.
Well, that's a great place to start, Chad. You, you graduate with this and apply it throughout graduated the course because by. By the end of tomorrow, most of the questions you guys ask, I'd be like, have you asked chat GBT or why did you, in the amount of time it took you to ask me that question the site. Let's also use this as the fave icon, which is actually kind of a bad favicon because it should just be the feather. But I'm not going to spend time right now. Only because you could have asked ChatGPT and it would give you a better answer than I can.
Right?
So. Yeah, you're exactly right, Chad. But here's the, here's the hint. We'll go to the end. What if you pull in through an API of time constraints and I don't want to. I don't want to spend time doing it today, so. But that's all it takes, guys. You drag the file into here, you tell it what you want to do with it, right? And I could have potentially even, you know, clicked element selector and selected this. But, you know, it's just going to add this in and we're going to have, we're going to have some logos. We'll have this nice little feather image that'll show up right here at the top into your app. Make. Maybe make like an admin section, right? So my, my Gen A PI right here. There's an admin button right here. And in the ad. I don't love that. Yeah, I mean, there's just a couple little things that I don't love. Like I want there to. Man, I can click on that. I see users and course content. Live course courses. And I can, you know, I can edit things. Be. Maybe a footer like this almost feels incomplete. And maybe it. Maybe it's not incomplete. Free planning. I can't mess with my profile yet. Settings. Second book. Recent books. Create first chapter. I can add reviews. I can manage stuff. Okay, if I sign out? That admin button is gone. Please. Great. First chapter. There we go. So you can create your own admin tools inside your own app. Okay, so what if you create inside of your admin a tool? So this is kind of a weird thing, right? Right. Tests. I actually kind of just love working in here. I'm going to write a book in here. I'm going to actually try this. I wonder if it saved that after resetting right there. Nope, it didn't. That connects to ChatGPT API and to the Mid Journey API. You have ChatGPT create tests. Let's go back to first book. Seven words. Hey, it is there. Open words. John went to the river. What happened next? Okay, great. An editor tests one words. It's detected one word. Now it's Interesting, interesting. A post the text part. Then you have mid journey base its prompt off of the post and it creates an image. So now you've had it create an image and a text, right? And then you export those into say. Lots of things I would mess with, guys. There's still a lot of things I would change in here, right? For example, I can't change the phase that I'm in, right? From idea to planning or whatever. After I've created it, I need to be able to do that. Even if I open this, I have no way to change the stage that I'm in. Google Drive, right? You have it label it like a folder or something like, you know, 4:30. All right, let's see. Sidebar component to use the logo only 25, whatever the date is, whatever structure you tell it to do. Image. I don't see it doing it yet. Started working on this. And then buffer. You connect through Zapier to that Google Drive and you say. All right, pull. Okay, I got a couple questions. I like team logos. That's cool. Vibe aligned. I like that, Spencer. It's kind of like a. It's kind of like a heartbeat from the folders for the dates and post this to Instagram X LinkedIn or like what do you call it? What's that symbol called when you're like in a hospital and Facebook, whatever. All these different things every day, right? And then you just say, I want you to run this. Spencer, do you share your. Oh yeah, there's yours right there. You never mind. Okay, cool. Yeah, guys, everybody's logo is gonna, you know, some people are gonna like them, some people are not gonna like them. And it doesn't, it just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter, guys, right? Move on, Move forward. Every single day at 6:30am and I want you to post it at 6:45am Boom. Cool. You tell Replit to build that system for you and now you've built your own. Find the next problem, right? You have bigger problems. You need customers. Okay, so automated social media engine for your company. And boom, it's just posting, posting, posting, creating images. Guys, in inside of chat GBT is really, really cool. Now I want to try something else here. We're going to go to Chat GPT. Actually, here's what we're going to do. We're going to say, we're going to say create an image of an author. You could also, if you don't trust it, maybe you could say, you know, require me to manually approve it before it goes out. But you can writing a book at his computer. Okay. I didn't give it any say, hey, generate seven posts, so we get one a day. Or generate 21 posts, we get three a day. Right. Go nuts. Be Gary Vee post 60 times a day. Right. That's what he does. Stylistic details like, is this going to be a realistic, a photorealistic image? Is this going to be a cartoon image? Is it going to be some abstract something like, I don't know. Obviously, I should give it better prompts, but I just said create an image of an author writing a book at his computer. Now, literally, he put up 60 times a day. Now he has a team. He has a team of, you know, two dozen people. Am I going to use this on my scribe site? I don't know. I don't even know if there's going to be any images in here. Right. Doing that for him. But you can do it now with AI And I guarantee you he's doing, like, it's really, really clean. Okay. Yeah. See, it put this. It put this logo, like, really tiny here inscribed. So I don't like that. Obviously, it's not great. But I didn't really give it clear instructions. I could just say, hey, only leave this. Make it with AI because he's really on top of that kind of stuff. Okay, very good. All right, guys, we are going to finish up today with a really fun discussion. Bigger. And get rid of this. Right. I'll probably do that. The Auth page will use this now as well. And I think that's the only places that it's doing it, but it. It's setting up fave icons, sidebars, logos. Okay, so it's working. All right, let's see what we got here. So we've got a guy that's writing a book. He's got out his pen, kind of.
Looks like Steve Jobs.
He looks awesome. That, I hope, really changes the way that you think. So put down your coding goggles for just a minute. We're going to back up a little bit. We're going to talk about surfing, which I know Chad likes to talk about. So thrish. Yeah, he does, huh? So that's kind of cool. Then I could say create this image. Whoa. This image in the style of Tarzan animation. Here's a question. How much energy. I'm doing this just for fun, guys, because I want you to see what it's capable of doing. Grok can do this to a certain extent, but not as well. Chat GPT right now really is the best. Yeah. Made it more flat, but it actually didn't because it lifted it up off. I don't want it lifted. I don't want the 3D. I don't want the 3D and. Yeah, see, this looks like jeopardy. Do you think it, you know, is expended in say, 10 minutes of swimming? Right. Measured in, I don't know, kcals or jewels or, I don't know, whatever you want to. Wherever you want. Anybody know, like, you know, movies for 400, like that's, that's what it feels. If you ask Chat GPT, it'll tell you about a thousand joules, right? About the equivalent of a thousand. Like right here for me at least. That's just my. My feeling. Okay, so let's do the same thing. Create an image of an author. Hold on. I want to actually copy the exact same prompt just for. Come on. Thousand jewels. Okay, so now and, and that maybe doesn't even matter. Let's say it's one. You create one energy of whatever unit you want. Now I want you to think about a tsunami in the ocean. Has anyone here not. Nope. Paste. Go. We'll see what GROK does. Grok's image generation is faster, but not as good. That's just, that's just how it is. Swam in the ocean. Everyone swam in the ocean. Do you know how powerful a wave is? It's using a different model, it's using a different style to make this happen. And yeah, look at this Tarzan animation style. It's pretty cool. So I could potentially use this image. If I'm not putting any images inscribed, where else could I use it? But now think about a tsunami, a big huge wave. That's just massive, right? How much energy do you think is created or expended by that tsunami in, you know, relative? Well, maybe I'm going to have social, right? Maybe I'm going to have an email campaign and I need a good image to an individual swimmer. So like 10 to 1, 100 to 1. Million to one. Go. A billion to one. Yeah, Spencer's almost exactly right. It's 4 billion to one according for that IM. You know where I've got some text wrapped around it and it's gonna be all pretty or whatever, right? And it's. Hey, you working on your next book? Like this is the new feature. Check this out. Here's what's happening. But look, look how good that is, right? That's. That's pretty awesome. It. It snagged the extra paper here. It got the book. Got the pen. Correct. Got the hands. Looking Nice. Got the computer and the keyboard. His hand is at the keyboard. He's looking like. That's a pretty dang good representation there. You can use. Guys, you can use this for so many amazing things, right? To chat GPT. Right. And I'm sure there's a lot of variables there, but that's what I figured out. 4 billion to 1. So now who here? We're gonna ask Chad. We're gonna ask Chad. Chad is an excellent Whitewater kayaker. He knows what he's doing. He can get on classified white water. And if I just open up my own photos and I just pick, I don't know what's. He can. He can harness the energy of that river, and he can do it. Now what happens, Chad? Let's see what this is. This looks like a picture of me and my son. That's not my son, but that is. Yeah, this is. This is a picture of my son. We're just going to download this really quick, just drag it into downloads, and then we'll come back to here, and then we'll just drag this in here and we'll say create this image. When you get on the wrong side of the water, when you're trying to fight the water, who wins?
The water always wins.
The water always wins. It's just if you try to fight it, you're going to lose. If you get stuck somewhere and the water's pushing, the water doesn't just take a break for a second to let you out, like in the style of Studio Ghibli.
You're.
It's just. It's going to keep going.
Yeah. It never stops.
It is. But zoom out and make him standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon. See how it does with that. Okay, we're also going to try something else because I want to show you another really neat thing that now, mid journey, guys, mid journey can do really, really, really amazing things. So here's. Here's my. Yeah. Middle elementless. And it's going to beat you. So tsunami, that's 4 billion times stronger belt lo. And there's a quill sticking out of his hand. You know, that's just kind of weird. There's a quill sitting right here that's actually kind of is. Is going to smash. You know, it's going to smash people against the rocks or the buildings or whatever. That Tsunami. Cool. I actually kind of like this, except for the fact that this text is not great. This guy is sitting here using, you know, runs into. You're going to lose. You're going to lose that battle. AI right now, guys, is a tsunami of epic proportions. We heard Eric Schmidt talk about it this morning about inscribe. And here's my logo just sitting here, right? My little feather, my little quill. It's actually not bad. So again, you just have to be creative and fun and, you know, build what you like and interpret it how you like and, and do whatever. Mid Journey, though, let's give it, let's. Image an image of an off. How it's, you know, we don't even have language to talk about how, you know, substantial it is. They're writing a book at his computer. And let's see what Mid Journey does here when we give it the same prompt. And there have been other waves, there have been other, you know, even tsunamis. You could say the Industrial revolution. The personal computer being, you know, small enough to fit in somebody's house. The Internet, okay, And we'll see what happens. Mid Journey is capable, in my opinion, of the most grandiose, awesome, awesome images. Like, I was making one for a pool company last week. I was building a pool company and social media, streaming, satellite, you know, look how pretty this is. I asked it to make a nice backyard pool in, you know, Internet and connectivity and, you know, satellite tv. You know, there's so many different ways of mountains in the background to represent, to make it look like it's in Utah, right? But then I said put a waterfall at a waterfall in there, right? These were some of the options that it gave me. And this is like a beautiful artistic. Like it's obviously not real, but that was kind of what I went for. I wanted it to be. I wanted to just be really pretty, right? We could all, even in our own industries, talk about different waves that have driven different things. But there's some things, some of these things are applicable to all industries, like the Internet or the PC or AI. That's pretty cool. You can create so many cool images. You know, this one's pretty good. This guy's got his pen. Although it's kind of. His hand is kind of messed up here. These little details matter, in my opinion. If you're going to use AI, guys use it, right? This guy's got a pen in his hand also. That's not great. This guy just looks like he's working at his computer. And AI is bigger. It's dwarfing everything else. It's, it's, it's 100 times bigger than anything else that's ever happened to the planet. So if we have a tsunami Coming in now. It's cool that there's kind of a book almost right here. I don't know what that is, but I don't know. Do we want to be swimming or do we want to be surfing? Right? Do we want to kind of.
Nice.
This guy looks like he's just working in his office. Different styles get, you know, sucked down to the bottom, or do we want to be sitting on top of it? And typically, you want to just. You can do. You can do such amazing things. You can do such amazing things with AI that it's endless, endless fun. So we took this image, right? He's just standing here. He's got his. He's showing off his little fool's gold that he found at the Mormon Battalion down in San Diego from a tsunami. Well, yes, that's true. But actually, if you do some reading, if you've ever been there. And I moved him to the Grand Canyon and put him in an animation style. That is freaking cool, guys. It says, ready, player one. What does it say on here? Oops. It got the research. You'll find that surfers actually love tsunamis. They're kind of dangerous, and so you don't want to just be a beginner surfer and go try to surf a tsunami. But it creates these amazing curls and these amazing things that they just love, right? Very consistent, nice, smooth surf. So whenever an earthquake happens, the big surfers will race towards it if it happens to be somewhere where they are. Game day. And like a little basket, it says, ready to play. Game on. Got it. And here it just changed it so it did a pretty dang good at analyzing everything and put him right next to the edge of the Grand Canyon. I'm blown away, guys. I just think that's so freaking cool. I. I don't know about you, but I could do this all day long. It's super, super fun to play with stuff like this. And you know what? That. That's gonna be saved. I think it's really, really neat. And I'm gonna. I'm gonna airdrop it to myself so I can share it later. It's a good. It's a good post. I don't know why it's not opening for me. PNG preview. There we go. Right? So, guys, I want you to play with this stuff if you haven't played with it a lot. Like, get really, really creative and build cool stuff, right? Build it for your business. Build it for. And you know, they'll wear specialized, you know, life jackets and things and make sure that they can. They can stay up, but they want to be surfing that. They want to be surfing that tsunami and they have an amazing ride when they catch it. Okay, so let's apply this to business. Okay, so let me ask this question. Who here can tell me. And don't be afraid to say the wrong answer. Thon. Build it for your social, build it for whatever. Okay? But the more you do it, the more you talk about it like it. You just. You'll get. You'll get really good at it. Now I've got that on my phone. I can easily post that social. They're probably all going to be right answers. What kind of business is Netflix? Tell me what, what is Netflix's business? This. What do they do?
Subscription.
Okay. The subscription business. And talk about AI, right? It's very on topic for me. Right? I talk about AI a lot and I can do that. And I talk about my family a lot. So again, very on topic. Very cool. All right, guys, questions. I want you guys. I want to just like open, open my questions about AI, image generation, different platforms to use. We only went over, you know, business. Great. Correct. What else? Dreaming Keaton. Fantastic. What else? Content creation. Content creation. ChatGPT, Mid Journey and Grok. There are a lot other. A lot of others. How do you decide which one's the best and things like that. But what, what questions do you have? Or do you have questions about how to take images or. Got a studio now. Great. Entertainment. Entertainment. All right, perfect. That's enough. All right. Streaming content creation logos and drop them into your project in repli.
I have a quick question. Yeah, I did notice there's maybe if you have to sign up for Mid Journey. Is that correct?
Yeah, midjourney, you sign up for it and then, you know, I think there's a. I think you get a free. Maybe you don't get a few free images anymore. It might be. It might just be entertainment, right? They're. They're doing all of these different things. You only paid now. Mid Journey pricing, the definition of. Well, let me, let me.
Yeah, I just signed up. It's like 10 bucks a month.
Yeah, it looks like it's 10 bucks a month. Let me answer this question, then I answer it and I'll talk about definition. Netflix is actually pretty interesting. They didn't create any streaming service for the basic plan. And then I, I think I'm only on that. And by the way, guys, like 10 bucks a month, like that plan, you will get so many images, you won't even. Like, you could get a thousand Images with that plan. Like, there's no way you're going to use it. Okay? So it's very, very awesome in terms of the number of credits you get with that one. Another thing that I love. And we're going to do it tomorrow. We'll play with. We'll play with this. They didn't create the entertainment industry. They didn't, you know, they are creating some Runway. Runway ML, which is really, really awesome, where you can take those images and bring them to life and content, you know, in a studio. But that's actually swimming. They actually, they're making. They're moving. Make a video AI, right? You can animate your. Whatever, anything you want. Seen a ton of money with that, right? We'll talk about why. But they are actually a content preference engine. That's it. That's what they. Right. Whether they're real images. Like I brought for Easter, I brought to life some classic images of Christ. Like, I brought them to life. So now he's like walking out of the tomb and like, really interesting stuff, right? I was trying to be, you know, very reverent around it, right? But. But I, you know, and some of the outputs were not great. And I had to try like 40 times to get it exactly right. But I, you know, I brought stuff to life. You could bring stuff to life. You can bring yourself to life. You can, you can bring like that little image of my son next to the Grand Canyon. I could say, hey, you know, have a. Have a raptor come running out and chasing him. Do. Right? Whether they were back in the days of DVDs or today, right? How many of you guys have ever gone to an Airbnb and you log in or you like, turn on the TV and someone else's Netflix account is up and you open it up, you're like, what is this content? Like, where did this. You know, along the side. Whatever I want to do, I can make that really, really fun for him. Yours come from. I feel weird. I. I need to log out and log into my. For your kids, obviously, as they start to play with AI, they will love it. Other questions about image generation. Guys. Matt, I like your move. My piano. Where did you make that? Was that in ChatGPT? Yeah, that was chat GBT actually wheels on it. I think it's. I think it's pretty good. Fine. Like, this is. This is. I'm not comfortable here, right? Whatever kind of content they like, right? Something's off with it. I think it's because there are about a hundred thousand pieces of content In Netflix. Because it's not. It doesn't look totally like a piano on chat GPT. You can't figure out how to make it. Yeah. Proper. Yeah, it's okay. It's okay. You might do better with design.com, but anyway. No, it's cool. And I bet most of you, including me, and I'm a pretty. I'm a binger, right? I. I watch stuff. I bet I haven't seen even a thousand. Like, even scrolled past a thousand different pieces. What else, guys, I like Movello. Who did this. Who's Brantley? Movel is pretty good.
That's mine.
It could use maybe just a tiny tweak of that V in the middle of the white. Like maybe being centered just a tiny bit more.
But he's actually supposed to be clock hands, but.
Clock hands. Yes. I didn't recognize that. So maybe tell it to make it look, you know, maybe make it a little thinner or some piece of content. Maybe if you're a heavy user. User, you're. You're. You're at 6 or 700. And if you're a power. Power user, maybe you're at 1500. And that would be like, crazy. But that's still only one to one and a half percent of the total content Netflix has to offer. Okay, they are. Or maybe put some ticks so it looks like a clock. You know, I don't know, but it's cool. I like it. I like it. Am I saying that right?
I've got a. I've got a lowercase. It's Fran Atlas.
Fran Atlas. Got it. So you got to change some of the text a little bit. So, guys, look, I'm telling you, once you have a logo that's pretty. Actually just amazing at generating things that you like, right? Good. If you create something with AI that you love. Well, Chad's is like crazy. Like all these connector things. Client connect. Take. Suggesting they're. They're a content suggestion engine. They did not create the Internet. They did not create the streaming services. They did not it. Take it to Fiverr, ask somebody to turn it into a good vector flat logo or whatever you want, right? But ask them for those files. It'll cost you five bucks, ten bucks, and it just takes it off your plate and you come back to it. Create anything things. Those are. They're. They're using other people's technology. So this brings us to the definition of surfing Vader. And you can, like, really nail down what you're trying to do, but you can get. If you get. If you get it 90% of the way there with AI, that graphic artist and wherever can do it for just a few versus swimming. If you're a surfing company, you are surfing on bucks and have had give you exactly what you need. So awesome. All right, other questions about image generation, whether it's logos, hero images, top of other people's technology. So you're surfing. If. If your company gets better when the technology upon which you are built or adjacent to is anything, Right? If that. If those technologies that you're built on or adjacent to product images, how would you use these tools to automate your social media for your brand, let's say not for yourself, but for your brand improve, your company gets better. Right. So your new company. What if you want to post every day and you're like, I don't have time to post every day, but you want it to create an image every day related to something with, you know, a quote from, you know, your website or some important topic or some selling point. Anyone think about how they would do that, how they would automate it?
Isn't there already a tool called Buffer.
That you can create a replica of Buffer that you. Let's, let's examine Netflix. If the Internet gets faster, does Netflix improve? Absolutely. If Internet becomes more available to more of the world, does Netflix improve? Absolutely. If Akamai. Which is what? Yeah. So Buffer is a site that allows you to powers its streaming, right? It's a company that just deals with streaming technology. If they get better at streaming, schedule out posting. You're exactly right, Bryson. That's one thing you would do. But how do you get images from mid journey into Buffer? But I mean, you can do it manually, right? You could say, all right, once a week I'll sit down and I'll create seven images and I'll generate that. How would you automate it so that you don't even have to do it? Will we be able to watch, you know, UFC fights better when Netflix tries to stream them? Yes, absolutely. Right. If AI gets stronger, does Netflix.
I'll ask Rock.
Well, that's a great place to start, Chad. You've, you've graduated the course because by, by the end of tomorrow know most of the questions you guys ask. I'd be like, have you asked jgpt or why did you, in the amount of time it took you to ask me that question, let's get better. I don't know. That's an interesting question. Maybe, maybe they get better at content, you know, you know, understanding what you could have asked chat GPT and it would give you a better answer than I can. Right? So. Yeah, you're exactly right, Chad. But here's the. Here's the hint. We'll go to the end. What if you pull in through an API into your app? Maybe make like an admin section. Right? So my Gen AI PI, right here, there's an admin button right here. And in the ad, user wants. Right. Maybe, maybe another competitor uses AI to figure out what users want, and they come up and they have a better content engine than Netflix does. So maybe it's a threat. I don't know. Right. But that's how you have to think. Okay, so let's look at another company. Let's. Let's try this again. This takes. This takes time to wrap your heads around, guys. But when you wrap your head around it, you're going to be like, oh, my gosh, this is crazy. Is AT&T a surfing company or a swimming company?
I'd say swimming.
Why?
Because I. Well, I think there's a lot of disruptions coming with how we use phones eventually. With AI.
Yeah. AI and other. Other technologies. Yeah, absolutely. Good. Does anybody disagree with Brantley? Yeah. Okay. Brantley's right. They are a hardcore swimming company. Let's talk about why. Who builds AT&T's infrastructure? AT T does, right? They are swimming. They are building towers and they're upgrading from 3G to 4G to 5G to 6G to 7G, right? And they spend billions upon billions upon billions and they employ tons of people. And it's just crazy. Right now, are all of us that have these phones in our pockets, are we surfing or swimming on AT AND T? We're surfing, right? We are surfing on their technology. If their technology gets better, our phones get better. We're not out there building those things, okay? AT&T is hardcore swimming because not only do they build all their own infrastructure, they're also in a position where. Can anyone think of another technology right now that's coming out that could potentially make AT and T and cell towers obsolete?
Are you talking about satellite Internet and stuff?
SpaceX, baby. That's exactly right. Right? What happens when. When Elon says, you know what? I'm just going to make it free for the whole world? Because that's the kind of thing he would do, right? And he just says, bop, here it is. And all of a sudden every telecommunications company in the world is like, oh, crap. We, you know, everyone can now just use WhatsApp to call or FaceTime or whatever, right? Any, you know, voiceover IP, that. That type of thing. They don't need phone numbers anymore. We just don't need this. Elon has the power to put out a business, every telecommunications company in the world in a moment. Now, does he have the bandwidth yet to do that? Not quite. Would there have to be some sort of business plan around it? Yeah, maybe. It's free for everyone, but, you know, it's kind of slow. And if you want the premium speed, you got to pay 30 bucks a month, whatever. But, hey, if he got $30 a month from a billion people, do you think he could run that thing? Yeah, I think so. I think he could, right? I don't think he has enough satellites yet to handle the entire Internet. That's right, Entire world. But AT T is in danger of being passed up because of other technologies that are there. And so they're not swimming. I'm sorry, they're not surfing. They are building. They are swimming. And when these AI and satellite and Internet improvements, all these things happen, they are in danger of getting smashed against the rocks. I personally, this is not investment advice, but don't invest in AT T. It's my opinion. Right. I don't think they have a great future. Do I think that AT&T will be gone in the next 10 years? I actually don't. Do I think it'll be gone in the next 40 years? I do. Unless they dramatically change their business model. And I don't think they can. I don't think they can get out of all these cell towers and all these things. Right. But. But global Internet is happening. It is happening. And it is going to get rid of the need for AT&T. All right, let's look at another surfing company or a surfing example. Okay. We are going to share my screen for just a second here, and we'll bounce over to Facebook. I have to log in again because I cleared my cache. Not a robot. Promise. Please let me in. Okay. And I have to do this little Facebook approval thing. I think I'll just push this button. We'll be in. Yes, it's me. Finish. Wait for it. Okay. Yes. Great. Trust this device. Okay, so we're going to click right here and we're going to look up my mom. So my mom posts pictures and videos of random animals, right? She goes on safari a couple about once a year. And then she'll go to, like, you know, Alaska and take pictures of bears and things like that. And then she'll just post. Looks like she posted a few things a couple times, like two and a Half thousand likes on that one. That's pretty awesome. I'm just kind of scrolling down randomly. 7.2 thousand likes on this one. Okay. Look at how crazy. My mom is, like the least influencer person you can imagine. She doesn't even, like, know hardly how to use this, and she just posts. Look at how many followers she has. 596, 000 bars. She makes $20,000 a month. Guys, I try really hard at social media. Like, I post good content every day. Those of you that follow me know that I post a lot. Maybe you don't agree with the good content comment, but I post a lot and I put effort into it, right? And it's all. It ranges all over the place, right? I talk about business and kayaking and church and my family and farming and whatever, Right. I just post about my life, right? And my mom is making way, way, way more money. I make a little bit of money through social media, but not a lot. I don't even make a thousand dollars a month for social media, but she's making 20 grand a month and sometimes more than that. She has over a billion views on all of her videos just on Facebook alone. Okay, now I want to ask you guys a question. How much money do you think my mom, right here she is right the. You know, this is the influencer. With 600, 000 followers, she'll be to a million followers probably a year from now. How much money do you think she has spent improving Facebook's search algorithm? Zero. How much money do you think she's spent, you know, improving the Internet cables that go across the Atlantic Ocean? Like, none. Anybody see the movie Last Breath? I just barely saw it. It's pretty good. Watch it. It's out on, like, it's on Peacock right now for free. If you, if, if you have that good movie, just came out in theaters just a couple months ago. It's about, like going down a thousand feet and messing with all that stuff and some stuff that was wrong. But anyway, a true story. Really cool. How much money do you think she's spent improving SpaceX? And how much money you think she spent improving social media? Whatever. Not nothing. She's spending nothing. She's spending zero. The only thing that she spends money on is she goes on vacation. And by the way, all of these photos and videos and everything, what does she take it with? Her phone?
Her cell phone?
Yeah, she's just. She's surfing on surfing, on surfing. She's making a ton of money. How much risk does she have in her Business plan. Zero. Absolutely zero. I don't know, maybe she could eaten by a lion or something, but that's not really what I'm talking about here. Her business plan of posting things to Facebook has zero risk. Okay, so she is surfing. Now again, back to the definition of surfing versus swimming. If you are, if your business or your service or whatever it is you're doing gets better because the technology upon which you are built or around improves, you are surfing. Otherwise you are swimming. And this AI Tsunami, guys, is going to smash everybody against the rocks that is swimming. If you are swimming, you will go out of business. There are millions of software businesses right now that will be gone in a few years. Good ones, ones that you use today, they're going to be gone. They're going to get smashed against the rocks because they're not doing it right. I have a company called Velocity Access. That's my, my. It used to be my main job. This Gen A API stuff is kind of taking over my life a little bit, and that's something I'm struggling with on my side. It's a good problem. But, but Velocity Access is a company I built. And, and what, what we do at Velocity Access is we, we offer venue management software, right? So if you go to like Sundance Ski Resort, for example, they have restaurants and bars and they've got a lift, you know, the lift and you know, operations during the winter and the summer, they have a concert venue up there, they have lodging, they have gift shops, they have rentals, they have all these different things. And they have about 10 pieces of software that run the entire resort. And then all of those pieces of software. If Matt Johnson goes up there and he spends money here and over here and over here and over here and over here, they're just like, hey, we made money everywhere. But they have no idea that it was the same Matt Johnson that made all those purchases. And so my idea is, okay, great. I'm going to build one piece of software that brings all of those into one. We'll build our own lodging, we'll build our own, our own, you know, restaurant system. We'll build our own, you know, lift ticket software. We'll build our own all these different things, right? Email systems, notifications, everything that you need to run a resort all in one piece of software. Who here thinks that's a good idea? I think it's a good idea, right? Am I surfing or swimming?
Surfing. Because if they add more stuff, then you can just plug it in and keep it.
Well, remember, remember, I'm building It all. I'm building the lodging software. I'm building the restaurant software, right? So if they add more stuff in everything, I just have to build more.
You're swimming. If you're building, you're swimming.
If I'm building, I'm swimming. That's exactly right. And it's actually a terrible business plan. I've raised $3 million for this specific business. Like, money raised, spent. I have zero of that $3 million left. And we built this amazing piece of software that is really awesome. Customers, everything. So cool. Over the last eight weeks, we have scrapped it. We canceled all of our customers, and we are starting from ground zero again because we are swimming. Why I am fighting against. Has anybody ever heard of Ticketmaster? Has anybody ever heard of Toast? Right. Anybody? Toast is, you know, like restaurant software, right? Anybody heard of Square and all these different things? Right? They're using all these different systems here. And in each category in which we are playing, let's say, just the restaurant software, how many competitors do you think there are to Toast? I mean, like 30 or 40 or 50. I mean, there's a bunch. How much total in aggregate funding do all of those startups have together?
Billions?
Millions? A hundred billion, maybe. I don't know. I mean, it's a lot. It's a huge number. And I've raised $3 million. Okay, that's one front where I'm fighting a battle. Now. Let's move to ticketing software. Ticketmaster, Seatgeek, and on and on and on and on. Tickets.com, right? There's another 100 billion I'm fighting against. What about hotel management software? Another 100 billion. Right. I'm trying to fight 10 battles all at once with $3 million versus probably literally about $1 trillion of funding. Am I going to win? No way. No way I'm going to win that battle. It seems so obvious. It seems so. Like, of course, you want that record of Matt buying, you know, spending all night at the bar, just drinking himself, you know, into oblivion. And I'm just getting. Matt, I know you don't do that very often. No, but, yeah, but, you know, skiing, buying the ski, you know, buying this. He stays up here with his family. He loves to eat at the Tree Room. He loves to eat all these different places, right? And so he, you know, we. We want all of that data in one place. So how could I build this software? How could I rebuild it in a surfing way?
Good question, Brantley.
You accidentally said it in the beginning.
Because I talked about how they improve their. Okay, so you use their APIs.
Exactly. Thank you. That's exactly right, Brantley. You got it. Does everybody understand what he just said? Toast and Ticketmaster and all these different systems have APIs where we can pull their data out. When someone buys a ticket, we can get a little notification that pushes up. So I build Velocity Access on top of everything, and it pulls all customer data. Toast and Ticketmaster and all these different systems have APIs where we can pull their transactions into my centralized hub. And then that is the only place where you manage everything for your resort. That's where you hang out. And when you're a customer, a consumer coming in to interact with Sundance, you're only interacting with this one system here that just lets you do everything. And you can have the AI parse data, and you can have 150 different customer segments. The people that spend, you know, a hundred dollars or less a year and people that spend $2,000 a year and people that spend a hundred thousand dollars a year, they can all have different marketing plans and things that AI can create for them automatically. So I can create this super powerful custom thing that really helps Sundance understand how all of its customers are coming together and using it. Right. And even individual customer profiles. Oh, hey, Matt is a top 1 percenter. He spends tons of money here, and this is what he does. This is the type of marketing that he needs. And so we can create that by. By building on top of all these other things. So if Ticketmaster gets stronger, do I get stronger? Yeah, absolutely. Right. If Toast gets stronger, do I get stronger? Yeah. If whatever hotel management software gets stronger, do I get stronger? Yes, because I'm just sitting on top of it all. I'm getting better and better and stronger data, and. And Sundance is happier and happier because the data gets better and better and better, and I have more and more control over what's going on. Okay, I'm going to share one more quick example, guys, and then we're going to finish up here. We might go like four minutes over. My buddy, his name is Jeremy Whit. He lives in. Lives in Florida. He's the smartest guy I've ever met in my life. His app, like, that's not just saying nice things. Smartest guy I've ever met. He is writing a book right now called Surf Don't Swim. He is the one that has coined this thing and, and this. This concept of surfing don't swim. And it's all about this AI tsunami that is going to bash all of these companies again. If you go to surf, surf don't swim dot com. You can sign up for his email list and you'll see his, you know, you can email him if you want. Say, hey, John told me about all your surf on swim stuff. I love it. And you know, he'll be really happy that you did that because he loves hearing people tell him how smart he is. So he, he, you know, he drinks his own, he takes his own medicine. He made a bunch of money back in the dot com bubble, right? He's, he's, you know, 55 or so, so relatively young, but has done very, very well. 100 millionaire, right? Done some great stuff. He bought a, he bought a, what do you call it, a retirement home, right, where, you know, there's about 200 people living there and share it later. It's a good, it's a good post. I don't know why it's not opening for me. PNG preview. There we go. Right? So guys, I want you to play with this stuff if you haven't played with it a lot, like get really, really creative and build cool stuff, right? Build it for your business, build it for fun, build it for your social, build it for whatever. But the more you do it, the more you talk about it like, you know, you go there to get old, right? And so he kind of knows this industry a little bit and he said, all right, I want to, I want to solve some problems and I want to do, I want to build some serving. But he has like seven AI businesses, but one of them. And he figured all this out talking to Chad and figuring out how to, how to build this out. But he built a system. So one of the problems that old people have is their mind. You just, you'll get, you'll get really good at it. Now I've got that on my phone. I can easily post that to social and talk about AI, right? It's very on topic for me, right? I talk about AI a lot. Minds start to deteriorate, especially if they don't talk, right? You know, they'll get Alzheimer's, they'll get dementia, they'll get whatever, right? And so everybody knows that it's cheaper to prevent than to treat those things, right? And so he said, well, can I create something using AI that can. I can do that. And I talk about my family a lot. So again, very on topic. Very cool. All right, guys, questions. I want you guys, I want to just like open, open my question. Automate. Talking to old people, right? Can we create a voice, right? An AI voice. And there are some systems I will show you guys tomorrow how to create your own AI voice that can answer phones for you or that you can talk to or it could be a voice agent or chat agent. Questions about AI image generation, different platforms to use. We only went over studio that can, that can speak as if it were you. That can sound just like you. That can only be T. Mid Journey and Grok. There are a lot other, A lot, lot of others. How do you decide which one's the best? And things like me pull content and ideas out of all the books that Amy Davis has written or that Kirby Lewis has that. But what, what questions do you have? Or do you have questions about how to take images or logos and drop them into your project in replic.
I have a quick question.
Yeah. Written or the. Chad Phillips has written. Right. All of the things, your thoughts you can, you can clone yourself. Basically. I'm going to show you how to do that tomorrow in about five minutes. Okay. But he knows how to do that. And so he built a system that automatically calls these people at a scheduled time.
I did notice there's maybe if you have to sign up for midjourney. Is that correct?
Yeah, midjourney, you sign up for it and then, you know, I think there's a. I think you get a free. Maybe you don't get a few free images anymore. It might be, it might just be right. It coordinates automatically via AI with their nurses and sets up the times and all of these things. And. And he worked out a, A business arrangement with United Healthcare that manages his, you know, does the healthcare and the insurance for facilities that he only paid. Now Mid Journey pricing. Hey, if I, if I provide this tool and they use it, you know, if the residents use it every week.
Yeah, I just signed up. It's like 10 bucks a month.
Yeah, it looks like it's 10 bucks a month for the basic plan. And then I think I'm only on that. And by the way, guys, like 10 bucks a month, like that, will you pay me for it? They said, yeah, we'll pay you $90 per. Per resident that uses it. Right. So 90 times 200, that's $18,000 for one retirement home. Okay. And. And so he came to this great arrangement, right? So he built out a system that just uses AP plan. You will get so many images, you won't even. Like you could get a thousand images with that, guys, into a bunch of things. Something that can write emails, something that can process and store. Like there's no way you're going to use it. Okay. So it's very, very awesome in terms of the number of credits you get or data. Something that can, you know, handle the voice, something that can make phone calls. Right. He didn't build any with that one. Another thing that I love, and we're going to do it tomorrow, we'll play with, we'll play with Runway, Runway ML, which is really, really awesome, where you can take those images and bring them to life and give those things. He just created these APIs and connections with all of them. And so he's now making about $80,000 a month in profit after all costs. And by the way, his total AI costs for every single month. Make a video AI, right? You can animate your whatever, anything you want, right? Whether they're real images, like I brought for Easter, I brought to life. Some are roughly $60, that's it. And then he has two part time employees that are like assistant level employees. And all they do is kind of reach out and coordinate with billing and things like that with some of these places and coordinate with the nurses and answer a couple questions here and there. Most of his customer service goes through AI, but after everything, he's making a million dollars a year. Classic images of Christ. Like I brought them to life. So now he's like walking out of the tomb and like really interesting stuff. Stuff, right. I was tried to be, you know, very reverent around it, right. But, but I, you know, and some of the outputs were not great and I had to try like 40 times to get it exactly right. Completely surfing on other people's technology. If 11 labs, which is the. But I, you know, I brought stuff to life. You could bring stuff to life. You can bring yourself to life. You can, you can voice thing. If it gets better, does his service get better? The discussions that they have with Berta, right? Yeah. Hey, how's it going, Berta? How's your kids? Right? And he remembers it, remember remembers the context of the entire conversation because it's stored in a database, right? So every time that phone calling, like that little image of my son next to the Grand Canyon, I could say, hey, you know, have a, have a raptor come running out and chasing him, you know, along the side. Whatever I want to do, I can make that really, really fun for him. For your kids, obviously, as they start to play with AI, they will love it. Other questions about IM starts. Hey, how was your, how was your grandson's track meet? Right? Did they win? He. Yeah, they did great. Oh, that's awesome. Right? And remembers it. It records the Entire transcript, right? So it can consider the context in every single discussion that that AI can actually become these people's friends. Right? And so he's completely surfing guys. If. If 11 labs gets replaced by 12 generation guys. Matt, I like your move. My piano. Where did you make that? Was that in ChatGPT? Yeah, that was ChatGPT actually wheels on it. I think it's pretty good apps because they come out with a better voice. What does he do? Swap the API? Boom. He's got a better system. If there's a better writing tool, if there's a better CRM, if there's a better dialer, if there's a better whatever. All he has to do is swap out API keys and manage a very simple code base. And he's making crazy money on autopilot. He doesn't have to do anything. The AI. Something's off with it. I think it's because it's not. It doesn't look totally like a piano. And ChatGPT can't figure out how to make it bell of it look proper. Automatically calls the AI, automatically logs, the AI, automatically bills it does all this stuff and then you've got a couple people in there that, you know, kind of manage it to make sure that nothing crazy happens and. And even that will go away. I bet he. I bet he can get down to one person as this continues to develop out. And then the way that he set up the business model is he reached out to his. The broker. Yeah, it's okay. It's okay. You might do better with design.com, but anyway. No, it's cool. What else, guys? I like moveo. Who did this? Who's Brantley? Movelo is pretty good.
That's mine.
It could use maybe just a tiny tweak of that V in the middle of the white, like maybe being centered just a tiny bit more.
But V is actually supposed to be clock hands, but.
Clock hands, yes. I didn't recognize that. So maybe tell it to make it look, you know, maybe make it a little thinner or something, or maybe put some ticks so it looks like a clock, you know, I don't know, but brokers that sell to him, that sell, you know, when they want to sell something to the retirement home, right. He said, hey, will you guys sell this? I'll pay you, you know, your 20 commission, plus you can tell the retirement home we'll give them $9 per resident per month if. If you install this. Right. And so now he's paying.
Cool.
I like it. I like it. Frenetless. Am I saying that right? In retirement homes throwing an extra couple grand a month in their pocket to use it. So it's not even, doesn't even cost anything, it's free. He still is making you know, 60 bucks a month in profit times, however many things he's doing. So he's, he's making, you know, he probably has at this point like 11 or 12 homes that are using it and he's making 80 grand a month, paying his bills, going on vacations. Okay. Surf, don't swim guys. So this is our end of day discussion. We will pick up with this discussion tomorrow and I want you to think about your own business models, what you're doing right now in work, what you're.
I've got a, I've got a lowercase.
It's Fran Atlas Brand Atlas. Got it. So you got to change some of the text a little bit. So guys, look, I'm telling you, once you have a logo that's pretty good. If you create something with AI that you love. Well, Chad's is like crazy. Like all these connector things, client connect, take doing what you're building right now. Are you surfing or are you swimming? Are you going to get better over time? Take it to Fiverr, ask somebody to turn it into a good vector flat logo or whatever you want. Right? But ask them for those files. It cost you five bucks, ten bucks and it just takes it off your plate and you come back to it later and you can like really nail down what you're trying to do. But you can get, if you get, if you get it 90% of the way there with AI, that graphic artist and wherever can do it for just a few or other people going to use AI and smash you against the rocks. Right, Right now you need to be your own worst enemy and then plan to not be right to not be in a position to get beat against the rocks. Okay. All right guys, end of day two. Thanks John Bucks and have have give you exactly what you need. So awesome. All right, other questions about image generation, whether it's logos, hero images, anything product images. How would you use these tools to automate your social media? Yeah, we've got some good fun stuff tomorrow we'll do some video generation. We'll do more APIs. We'll do, we'll set up, we'll probably like set up an Ascend grid and talk about emails and DNS and some couple more technical things to get your website hooked up so you can actually make this stuff come to life. And then the fun Part we'll talk about sales and marketing with AI.
Hey John, do you have.
Yeah. For your brand, let's say not for yourself but for your brand, your new company. What if you want to post every day and you're like I don't have time to post every day but you want it to create an image every day related to something with, you know, a quote. I, I feel like the skill set that I'm lacking after this would be automation. Do you have any recommendations as to how to get better at automating? Yes. And can anybody answer the question for me besides Zapier? Zapier. Zapier is amazing at automations. Right. And if you don't know how to use it from you know, your website or some important topic or some selling point, anyone think about how they would do that, how they would automate it.
Isn't there already a tool called Buffer.
That you can create a replica of.
Buffer of that user to images?
Yeah. So Buffer is a site that allows you to zapier. Just get in and try to build one. They're super easy. And if you don't know how to do it, ask, say hey chatgpt, I need you to take me through step by step how to set up an automation to do this. Okay, do it and just do it. Honestly the best way to learn any of this stuff guys, is to just try it once. It might take you an hour the first, first time and the second time will be 10 minutes. Right? Because you'll just, you have to think schedule out posting. You're exactly right Bryson. That's one thing you would do. But how do you get images from mid journey into Buffer? But I mean you can do it manually, right? You could say all right, once a week I'll sit down and I'll create seven images and I'll generate that. How would you automate it so that you don't even have to do it. Through? You have to understand how it works. But, but Zapier is amazing. Z A P I E r. Go to zapier.com and just see what you can connect to. What? But the reality is you can create your own automations by just talking to Replit and saying hey, I want to build an automation that does this, this, this and this and then, and then build it, see what happens. But in terms of like educational resources to.
I'll ask Rock.
Well that's a great place to start Chad. You've, you graduated to build out, you know, or to learn more about automations. YouTube. Yeah. Okay. A ton of great content. Amy, looks like you have a question.
Yes.
Okay. All right. Is my audio on?
Yeah.
Okay.
You mentioned you waited the course because by. By the end of tomorrow, most of the questions you guys asked, I'd be.
Like, social media posting, which I'm actually really interested in, because that's going to happen.
Have you asked Judge Beatty or why did you. In the amount of time it took you to ask me that question, you could have asked ChatGPT and it would give you a better answer than I can. Right? So, yeah, you're exactly right, Chad. But here's the. Here's the hint. We'll go to the end. What if you pull in through an API into your app? Make. Maybe make like an admin section, Right? So my. My Gen API right here, there's an admin button right here.
And in the ad that probably is going to implement your program or, like, have to talk about it, which is the hard part. But you mentioned doing that in replit or like, it can create a. Does it edit videos also? That was another question. And then you said doing it in replit.
Yeah, I'm not using replit to create images, guys. I'm using replit to create a system that calls other systems to create it. Right. We use an API, a connector, to call Chat CPT or to call Mid Journey and say, hey, do this. Build this for me. Me. Right? And then repl it can. Then, man, I can click on that. I see users and course content, live courses. And I can, you know, I can edit things, I can add reviews, I can manage stuff. Okay. If I sign out, that admin button is gone. You know, direct it to go to the right place. We'll talk about this tomorrow. More in marketing. So you can create your own admin tools inside your own app. Okay, so what if you create inside of your admin at 2? So I got ahead of myself a tiny bit here, but we'll. We'll pull up the actual sites and see what that looks like and how you would actually do that.
So also, edit videos.
Editing videos is still a pretty manual process. You can generate cool AI content within video content, but that connects to ChatGPT API and to the Mid Journey API. You have ChatGPT Create Editing. It is still kind of manual unless you use something called an mcp, which we're not going to get into in this course. But automating editing of videos is tough. If I wanted to automate and scale video editing right now, I would use Fiverr. Yeah, I'm gonna use real people And I'm gonna pay cheap, you know, whatever offshore people that can do it. A post the text part, then you have mid journey base itself prompt off of the post and it creates an image. So now you've had it create an image and, and a text, right? And then you export those into say I've had that happen, right? Some of the videos you see on some of my social, it's my content, but I have someone else edit it, right? And, and I'm paying them, you know, 15 bucks a video or 10 bucks a video, right, for them to, for them to do that. Now it takes a little bit of budget for sure, but once you start to get up and have that budget to be able to generate revenue, now you can automate more and more and more and reinvest in yourself and get it up. Okay, Google Drive, right? And you have it label it like a folder or something like, you know, 4, 30, 20, 25, whatever the date is, whatever structure you tell it to do. And then buffer. You connect through Zapier to that Google Drive and you say, all right, pull. All right, guys, I will send this recording later. I am heading right now, Chad, if you want, you can zip down to the Proverb River. I'm going there right now. I actually have somebody coming to film for Utah, a Utah Valley like promo video or something. Devin Graham. Devin Supertramp. If you guys pull from the folders for the dates and post this to Instagram X LinkedIn. Ever heard of him? Super awesome guy. Amazing it. You know, he's a legend. He's been around longer than you and Facebook, whatever, all these different things every day, right? And then you just say, I want you to run this every single day at 6:30am and I want you to post it at 6:45am Boom. YouTube basically. And you know, making amazing videos. So he's gonna go, I'm meeting him up at the Prover river at Bridal Bale to, you know, run it. 2:00 clock if you want to be there.
Chad, Even with your thumb.
You know what, man? It's. You might be able to see kind of, kind of purple. Whatever. Cool. You tell Replit to build that system for you, and now you've built your own. And you know what, man? I'm just gonna be doing the brown.
Claw the whole way.
It's gonna suck. Automated social media engine for your company and boom, it's just posting, posting, posting, posting, posting. You could also, if you don't trust it, maybe you could say, you know, require me to manually approve it before it goes out, but you can suck it up and do it. Right. We'll just. Loose. It's at least it's my left hand. It's not my. Hey, generate seven posts, so we get one a day. Or generate 21 posts, we get three a day. It's not my dominant hand. Right. And so I'll be loose. I'll just. I'll just stay loose. It'll keep me. You're supposed to be losing your kayaking, guys. Gripping hard is bad, bad, bad news.
So anyway, I'm wondering if there's a chance that we could start a group chat where if we had questions, we.
Right. Go nuts. Be Gary Vee post 60 times a day. Right? That's what he does. Literally, he posts 60 times a day. Now he has a team. He has a team of, you know.
Two dozen people could, like, talk through some things together.
Yeah. You know what a couple of you guys are on still. I'll just drop it in. There is a Facebook group that, that is built for this, right? That's for. Let's see, you build a business with AI Basically everybody that has been through doing that for him, but you can do it now with AI And I guarantee you he's through this course. I'll drop it in the chat right there if you guys click that link on whatever. And with AI because he's. He's really on top of that kind of stuff. Okay, very good. All right, guys, we are going to finish up today with a really fun discussion join and just quick request to join. I'll let you in. And then. Yeah, Amy, if you have a question, just type that I hope really changes the way that you think. So put down your. Your coding, you know, goggle into there. And there's like dozens of students that have taken my course and lots of them who have gone on to build really cool things and spent hundreds of hours in replit or whatever and they've built all this stuff. And so I'll. I see it and I'll answer it if I can, but there's lots of other stuff. Students are like, very eager to. To help. Rules for just a minute. We're going to back up a little bit. We're going to talk about surfing, which I know Chad likes to talk about. So Ansel's in distress. So. But yeah, so that group should be helpful. You know, we'll. We'll all be connected at the end anyway. But there's that. Here's a question. What. How much energy I'll. I'll share that later again. All right, guys, we'll see you tomorrow.
So much.
You guys, do you think it, you know, is expended in, say, 10 minutes of swimming? Right, measured in, I don't know, kcals or jewels or, I don't know, whatever you want to. Whatever you want. Anybody know? If you ask, it'll tell you about a thousand joules, right? About the equivalent of a thousand joules. Okay, so now. And that maybe doesn't even matter. Let's say it's one. You create one energy of whatever unit you want. Now, I want you to think about a tsunami in the ocean. Has anyone here not swam in the ocean? Everyone swam in the ocean. Do you know how powerful a wave is? But now think about a tsunami, a big, huge wave that's just massive, right? How much energy do you think is created or expended by that tsunami in, you know, relative to an individual swimmer? So, like 10 to 1, 100 to 1. Million to one. Go. A billion to one. Yeah. Spencer's almost exactly right. It's 4 billion to one according to chat GPT. Right. And I'm sure there's a lot of variables there, but that's what I figured out. 4 billion to 1. So now who here? We're gonna ask Chad. We're gonna ask Chad. Chad is an excellent Whitewater kayaker. He knows what he's doing. He can get on classified whitewater, and he can. He can harness the energy of that river, and he can do it. Now, what happens, Chad, when you get on the wrong side of the water, when you're trying to fight the water, who wins?
The water always wins.
The water always wins. It's just, if you try to fight it, you're going to lose. If you get stuck somewhere and the water's pushing, the water doesn't just take a break from. For a second to let you out like you're. It's just. It's gonna keep going. Yeah.
It never stops.
It is relentless, and it's going to beat you. So tsunami that's 4 billion times stronger is. Is going to smash, you know, it's going to smash people against the rocks or the buildings or whatever that tsunami, you know, runs into. You're going to lose. You're going to lose that battle. AI right now, guys, is a tsunami of epic proportions. We heard Eric Schmidt talk about it this morning, about how it's, you know, we don't even have language to talk about how, you know, substantial it is. And there have been other waves. There have been other, you know, even tsunamis. You could say the Industrial Revolution, the personal computer being, you know, small enough to fit in somebody's house. The Internet, social media, streaming, satellite, you know, Internet and connectivity and, you know, satellite tv. You know, there's so many different waves, and we could all, even in our own industries, talk about different waves that have driven different things. But there's some things. Some of these things are applicable to all industries, like the Internet or the PC or AI. And AI is bigger. It's dwarfing everything else. It's 100 times bigger than anything else that's ever happened to the planet. So if we have a tsunami coming in, do we want to be swimming or do we want to be surfing? Right. Do we want to get sucked down to the bottom or do we want to be sitting on top of it? Typically, you want to just run away from a tsunami. Well, yes, that's true, but actually, if you do some research, you'll find that surfers actually love tsunamis. They're kind of dangerous. And so you don't want to just be a beginner surfer and go try to surf a tsunami. But it creates these amazing curls and these amazing things that they just love, right? Very consistent, nice, smooth surf. So whenever, you know, an earthquake happens, the big surfers will, like, race towards it if they have. If it happens to be somewhere where they are. And, you know, they'll wear specialized, you know, life jackets and things and make sure that they can. They can stay up, but they want to be surfing that. They want to be surfing that tsunami, and they have an amazing ride when they catch it. Okay, so let's apply this to business. Okay, so let me ask this question. Who here can tell me. And don't be afraid to say the wrong answer. They're probably all going to be right answers. What kind of business is Netflix? Tell me what. What is Netflix's business? What do they do?
Subscription.
Okay. The subscription business. Great. Correct. What else? Dreaming Keaton. Fantastic. What else? Content creation. Content creation. They've got a studio now. Great. Entertainment. Entertainment. All right, perfect. That's enough. All right. Streaming. Content creation. Entertainment. Right. They're. They're doing all of these different things. The definition of. Well, let me. Let me. Let me answer this question, then I'll answer and I'll talk about definition. Netflix is actually pretty interesting. They didn't create any streaming services. They didn't create the entertainment industry. They didn't. You know, they are creating some content and, you know, they've been a studio, but that's actually swimming. They actually. They're Making. They're losing a ton of money with that, right? We'll talk about why. But they are actually a content preference engine. That's it. That's what they do, right? Whether they are back in the days of DVDs or today, right? How many of you guys have ever gone to an Airbnb and you log in, or you, like, turn on the TV and someone else's Netflix account is up and you open it up, you're like, what is this content? Like, where did this come from? Like, I feel weird. Like, I need to log out and log into mine. Like, this is. This is. I'm not comfortable here, right? Whatever kind of content they like, right? There are about a hundred thousand pieces of content in Netflix, and I bet most of you, including me, and I'm a pretty. I'm a binger, right? I. I watch stuff. I bet I haven't seen even a thing. Thousand, like, even scrolled past a thousand different pieces of content. Maybe if you're a heavy user, you're. You're. You're at 6 or 700. And if you're a power. Power user, maybe you're at 1500. And that would be, like, crazy. But that's still only one to one and a half percent of the total content Netflix has to offer. Okay. They are actually just amazing at generating things that you like, right? At suggesting they're. They're a content suggestion engine. They did not create the Internet. They did not create the streaming services. They did not create any of these things. Those are. They're. They're using other people's technology. So this brings us to the definition of surfing versus swimming. If you're a surfing company, you are surfing on top of other people's technology. So you're surfing. If. If your company gets better when the technology upon which you are built or. Or adjacent to. Right. If that. If those technologies that you're built on or adjacent to improve, your company gets better. Right. So let's examine Netflix. If the Internet gets faster, does Netflix improve? Absolutely. If Internet becomes more available to more of the world, does Netflix improve? Absolutely. If Akamai, which is what powers its streaming. Right. It's a company that just deals with streaming technology. If they get better at streaming, will we be able to watch, you know, UFC Fights better when Netflix tries to stream them? Yes, absolutely. Right. If AI gets stronger, does Netflix get better? I don't know. That's an interesting question. Maybe. Maybe they get better at content, you know, understanding what the user wants. Right. Maybe. Maybe another competitor uses AI to Figure out what users want, and they come up and they have a better content engine than Netflix does. And so maybe it's a threat. I don't know. Right. But that's how you have to think. Okay, so let's look at another company. Let's. Let's try this again. This takes. This takes time to wrap your heads around, guys. But when you wrap your head around it, you're going to be like, oh, my gosh, this is crazy. Is AT&T a surfing company or a swimming company?
I'd say swimming.
Why?
Because I. Well, I think there's a lot of disruptions coming with how we use phones eventually. With AI.
Yeah, AI and other. Other technologies. Yeah, absolutely. Good. Does anybody disagree with Brantley? Yeah. Okay. Bradley's right. They are a hardcore swimming company. Let's talk about why. Who builds AT T's infrastructure? AT&T does, right? They are swimming. They are building towers and they're upgrading from 3G to 4G to 5G to 6G to 7G, right? And they spend billions upon billions upon billions and they employ tons of people. And it's just crazy. Right now. Are all of us that have these phones in our pockets, are we surfing or swimming on AT and T? We're surfing, right? We are surfing on their technology. If their technology gets better, our phones get better. We're not out there building those things. Okay? ATT is hardcore swimming because not only do they build all their own infrastructure, they're also in a position where. Can anyone think of another technology right now that's coming out that could potentially make AT T and cell towers obsolete?
Are you talking about satellite, Internet and stuff?
SpaceX, baby. That's exactly right. Right. What happens when. When Elon says, you know what? I'm just going to make it free for the whole world? Because that's the kind of thing he would do, right? And he just says, bop. Here it is. And all of a sudden, every telecommunications company in the world is like, oh, crap. We, you know, everyone can now just use WhatsApp to call or FaceTime or whatever, right? Any, you know, voiceover IP, that, that type of thing. They don't need phone numbers anymore. We just don't need this. Elon has the power to put out a business, every telecommunications company in the world in a moment. Now, does he have the bandwidth yet to do that? Not quite. Would there have to be some sort of business plan around it? Yeah, maybe. It's free for everyone, but, you know, it's kind of slow. And if you want the premium speed you got to pay 30 bucks a month. Whatever. But hey, if he got $30 a month from a billion people, you think he could run that thing? I think so. I think he could. Right? I don't think he has enough satellites yet to handle the entire Internet, so. That's right. Entire world. But AT&T is in danger of being passed up because of other technologies that are there. And so they're not swimming. I'm sorry, they're not surfing. They are building. They are swimming. And when these AI and satellite and Internet improvements, all these things happen, they are in danger of getting smashed against the rocks. I personally, this is not investment advice, but don't invest in AT&T. It's my opinion. Right. I don't think they have a great future. Do I think that AT&T will be gone in the next 10 years? I actually don't. Do I think it'll be gone in the next 40 years? I do. Unless they dramatically change their business model. And I don't think they can. I don't think they can get out of all these cell towers and all these things. Right. But. But global Internet is happening. It is happening. And it is going to get rid of the need for AT&T. All right, let's look at another surfing company or a surfing example. Okay, we are going to share my screen for just a second here. And we'll bounce over to Facebook. I have to log in again because I cleared my cache. Not a robot. Promise. Please let me in. Okay. And I have to do this little Facebook approval thing. I think I'll just push this button. We'll be in. Yes, it's me. Finish. Wait for it. Okay. Yes. Great. Trust this device. Okay, so we're going to click right here and we're going to look up imom. So my mom posts pictures and videos of random animals, right. She goes on safari a couple about once a year. And then she'll go to, like, you know, Alaska and take pictures of bears and things like that. And then she'll just post. Looks like she posted a few things a couple times. Like two and a half thousand likes on that one. That's pretty awesome. I'm just kind of scrolling down randomly. 7.2 thousand likes on this one. Look at.
