The excerpt is a spoken monologue by a single speaker describing experiences using AI code-generation tools (Codex, Claude Code, Hermes, OpenCLAW) and specifically the /goal command to ask AI to build apps (including an example where an app was completed in ~48 hours). The speaker advises specificity and judicious use of the command and discusses the potential yield and limitations of having AI build apps to generate revenue.

Imagine if I worked for you and I didn't get tired. If you use /goal in Codex or Claude Code or Hermes or OpenCLAW, you know what /goal does, Neil? Hey Eric, build me an app that makes me $1 million. Obviously it's not that easy, right? If you were very specific with your asks, /goal is with all these things now. I've seen someone work, like Codex work for like 48 hours. I got my app completed for me. I was like, was it worth? And he's like, absolutely it was. I think using that command judiciously will be able to get you a lot of yield.
