Claude Code Masterclass Project Showcase

All right. So for those of, for those of you that don't know, we are doing a Claude showcase now, which means every person is going to showcase something that they're proud of, that they accomplished with Claude. We have many students that have went through the Claude Code Masterclass and they built things. And some of them wanna showcase whether it's their website, whether it's a Chrome extension, whether it's an app that they built. Whether it's an idea that they had and something that they did. So if anybody wants to go first and start showcasing, they can. Otherwise, I am happy to go first. And, or I can go throughout and just showcase little things that I've done. I have updated my portfolio. Everyone should have a portfolio. So if you have, if you don't have a portfolio of things that you built with Claude Code, I recommend using Claude Code to build a portfolio. of all the things that you've done with Claude Code for yourself. And also just to kind of show off, you know, show and tell. There's nothing wrong with that. To be able to show people all the things that you built. So I'll show you what my portfolio looks like. And it's really simple to create a portfolio. You just tell Claude, hey, make a portfolio of me, take all the projects that I've done and make a portfolio for me. And then Claude Code just simply makes a portfolio. So I'm going to share my screen just to kind of show you guys. My, you know, the first thing, and if anybody has anything that they want to share, then feel free to go ahead and let me know that you want to share. And I will be more than happy to show, but this is what my portfolio looks like right now. If you guys could see my screen here, Brian, can you see my screen? Okay. Hopefully you can see my screen.

I can, sorry.

Oh, wonderful. Okay, good. So this is what my screen looks like right now. So the first thing is verygoodpainters.com. Very Good Painters is a directory of all the painters in the world. If you click on view live site on the portfolio, it actually takes you to the live site. This is getting auto-updated by an agent every single day. It's finding painters online and it's adding them to the directory. One of the cool features that I added to the directory is that if a painter comes to the website, let's say there's a commercial painter, residential painter, or house painter, or a cabinet painter, and they want to add themselves, they can submit themselves to the directory. And if they're in a hurry, it's $49. They could pay $49 and get submitted to the directory faster within 48 hours. You see? So now I'm going to be monetizing this directory. So that's, that's a— A place where people can kind of search, or they could also browse. There's also a map feature on the top. So you'll see there's the maps of what cities and states that we've covered so far. And if you click in there, you can actually see the actual listings. You can zoom all the way in and see the actual listings. And when you press view listing, it actually shows you the listing. Now the listings themselves have the store hours, has the phone number, the website, a map, what services they provide, and it also shows a comparison of all the other painting companies in their local area that compete with them, and it shows a list of all their employees and an FAQ about the business, you see? And so I am going to be doing this across all, let's call it 80,000 painters around the world, all the painting companies, all the ones that are very good painters, and then eventually what we're going to do is we're going to call all of them and ask them if they want to claim their listing or if they want to get a featured listing and turn it into a whole business on its own. So that's, that's one project. If anybody has any projects they want to share, let me know. If not, I can keep going and show you more of my projects. This is verygoodpainters.com. I'm going to go back and show you something else that I recently did. I created a media downloader. So I always want to, I always find Facebook videos and Instagram videos and TikTok videos that I want to download, but I don't want it to have their like watermark on there. You know, I don't want to share, I don't want to record my screen. So I created something. With Claude code that you paste any YouTube video, Facebook video, Instagram video, TikTok video, X, LinkedIn, whatever. And you press download and it just downloads the video. And you could download it as a video or as an MP3. It's hosted on my server and I could do this as often as I want. So if I'm on my phone and I see a video that I like, I could download it and then share it on WhatsApp or do whatever I want with it. So that's a cool little tool that I built that makes my life very easy. I'm not sharing it with the general public, but it is live online. So if you want to find it, you could find that on my portfolio. I had a company that sells marketing services to recruiters. And I told her I have 44,000 recruiters. And so she said, can you give me access to them? I was like, for the right price, yes. I built a whole system where she can see all the recruiters that I have on the list over there and she can filter and sort it. And it's a seat-based system that has a workflow, work— workspace for each company that I'm going to sell this to. So I'm going to sell this as a premium feature for people who want a list of all the recruiters in the United States and staffing firms. Um, this is Evy AI tools. I built 65 different utilities on evyai— evyus.com/tools. And so this is kind of like a whole plethora of tools. For example, I have a time zone checker. Where you can see, let's say New York, Los Angeles, and you can change what time you want to see the time and it changes across all the time zones. You see, I actually went to Claude Code and I asked it, I said, hey, do me a favor and tell me all the, tell me all the different types of tools that are popular online that have tons of ads on them so I can create my own versions that would comply with what I do at Evvy AI. And it's like, oh, if people wanna pick meetings, they need this type of tool. And so, and I said, how does this tool integrate with other tools? And so it kind of also showed me how this tool integrates with my stopwatch timers. If I want a 5-minute timer, boom, I have a 5-minute timer tool as well. And this also has a pop-out, it has an alarm, it has a stopwatch, it has a Pomodoro thing. So I could press pause. I could press Pomodoro. And now I could set a 25 timer with 5-minute breaks and 4 rounds. I could do the Pomodoro technique. And it's all branded Evvii. I could also make it pop out if I want. I can make it full screen if I want. You see it's full screen. And that's really nice that I have that ability to do that. I also have a bulk link opener, which I redid. I have the share link social thing where I put in a link over here and it gives me share links to be able to share properly on social media so other people can share my links. Like makes them shareable. I have the post URL cleaner. You guys know what that is? It removes UTM tags from posts. So if you click on it, you put in a post from LinkedIn, usually has a bunch of tracking on it, removes all the tracking with one click of a button. And you could do many links at the same time. Um, we also have the ability to like do an engagement saver, a my network saver. So if you're on LinkedIn and you want to be able to pull everyone's, all the connections that you're connected to, And save them. Or if you're on a poll and you wanna pull all the things from the poll, or everyone that liked a post on LinkedIn, or all your company followers, or all your profile page followers, or if you're on a search results page and you wanna paste it in as a spreadsheet. So we created all these different tools. The Occasion Saver is everyone's birthdays on LinkedIn. You can copy and paste it and mix into a spreadsheet. My favorite one is the Comment Saver. So the Comment Saver allows you to be able to go into LinkedIn. I'll just quickly show you how that looks. If I go into LinkedIn and I go to my most recent post, I have a list of people that have left comments on my most recent post, right? So if I go in here— Oh, Arlene Sandusky, I think she has a question. Go ahead, Arlene. I think what you're showing us is all the tools that you have, but that doesn't— that's not all in your portfolio, just the earlier portion that you explained to us what your portfolio is. Everything that I'm showing you here is in the portfolio.

Oh, wow. Okay.

But I redid, I redid these tools. Yeah. So I have, I have many, I have like 85 projects that I did in the past 60 days. And so I re— some of these tools I've had in the past, but I redid them completely with Claude Code and I added new features to them. You see all these people that commented on this post and I'll show you how I added the new features to it. So if you've seen this before, you may have seen it before, but I'm just gonna copy all the people who commented on this post. I'm going to go to the Comment Saver. I'm going to paste it in here. And then I'm going to press process. And it processes everything here. You see, it has everybody's first name, last name, headline, comment, when they commented, what kind of comment, if it's a reply or a comment, and if it's a profile, their profile URL, and if it's a person or a company page. You see?

Wow.

What I can now do is I can send this directly to the Bulk Link Opener. So if I press send this to the Bulk Link Opener, it'll open all of them. It'll send it to another tool. So now I press okay. You see that? I just entered the bulk link opener. So now I could open each one of these profiles and thank them for commenting on my post or whatever I want to do. Or I could save the entire thing as a spreadsheet. But that's kind of like how one tool interacts with another tool. Now I only was able to do this because I learned how to use Claude Code really well. And you guys can do this as well. You could just say, hey, make me this on my server and boom, it'll do it. That's how simple it is. So I made a— in my portfolio, I didn't put each one of those tools in my portfolio. I put the link to the tools. So I made a whole repository as tools. And in the portfolio, here's my tools overview, which never existed with all the tools. And I'm slowly redoing every single tool and making it better and making them interact with each other. Do you get it, Arlene?

Yep.

Go ahead, MK. You have a question?

Yeah, um, I was just tracking what you did. You actually had to manually open all, all the comments, then you copied it and it did its magic, and then you bulk linked, um, uh, cleared it, and you could then reply to each one of them. Does it reply to each one of them in the LinkedIn or to them in— just to them personally?

Well, I could reply on LinkedIn. Or I could use another tool to enrich all of them and get all their email addresses. But if I wanted to reply on LinkedIn, what I would do is I would actually use another tool called Evy AI. I don't know if you ever heard of it, but Evy AI is a technology that sits on the side of your browser and that allows you to comment and post on people's profiles. So if I want to use Evy AI, I can actually save these into Evy AI, these people. And then if I want to comment on their posts, I just press the comment button over here.

Okay.

And then Evie AI will draft a comment on this post by me clicking on this little button here. That's a Chrome extension. You see that?

Yeah, that wasn't— you weren't replying to comments they made on your— that you just downloaded like in real time.

Yeah, I just— yeah, the use case for that, the use case for that is if I have a post that has a lot of comments on it, whether it's my post or my competitor's post, and I want to save all the human beings into a list, into a spreadsheet that all commented on it, I could highlight everything, copy it, paste it into the system, and then it'll turn it into a usable spreadsheet.

Okay.

Does that make sense?

I see the competitor's post.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're not trying to get your, you know, algorithm on LinkedIn beautified.

Exactly.

By doing real-time posts, yeah.

Exactly, and I'm doing everything that complies with LinkedIn's terms. I'm not scraping or anything like that. I'm just copying and pasting. But, but then Claude Code has a utility that will organize it all for me. Um, I have a bunch of different things that I wanted to do as workflows. I have 45 workflows I wanted to do for Evie AI, but I wasn't sure which one was good, which one was gonna be the best ones. So I created, um, a tool that allows all of my clients to be able to vote for which workflows they want. You see, this is like a voting system. So I have all the different workflow ideas here. And then my clients go in here and they could vote and they could also comment on each idea. So if you have a business and you're not sure what product to build next, you can come up with all your 45 ideas, put it on a page, and then tell all your clients to vote. And then you could send it to your clients and then they all vote. And then you can filter by the ones that are the highest, the best, or different types of ones, or, you know, sort catalog by order, by vote, whatever. So the most popular one is the industry news brief. So I went and found an API that allows me to, to do industry news by industry. So for example, in Barbara's industry, I'm gonna want to send her news that she can create posts off. And same thing with Brian's industry and same thing with Morty's industry. And so we're gonna build a system that creates workflows that sends you news daily on a daily basis. And then off that you can create posts or it can do it automatically.

Yeah.

We also have a question in the chat. Okay, go ahead. What's the question? Uh, so to get them on your one page, do you just tell Claude you want a directory?

They're all different programs, obviously.

Well, Claude has a— Claude, Claude is tracking all my projects. So this is the same question you asked in the, in the group chat earlier. How do you track all your projects? So I have Claude, every time it does a project, it saves it in a projects.md file saying, here's the project that he did. Here's the, the directory for it. Here's the purpose of it. Here's what done looks like, whatever. And so when I created my portfolio, I said, look through my projects at MD, see all the projects that are worthy of sharing publicly and projects that I finished that have live websites that people can check out and then create a number of what it is and then share it with me. And then it went out and it put it online. And so these are all the different projects. So there's 80 projects. I'm not gonna be able to cover all 80 projects, but if you go to my portfolio, evieus.com/portfolio, You'll be able to see all of them. But I want to take a break and just ask you guys, what have you noticed so far as a theme, or what questions do you have? MK, go ahead.

Yeah, I just want to confirm that you do not use the projects inside Claude itself. You create your own.

Uh, I created my own projects.md file.

Yeah, you don't keep it in a project in a folder, and where do you house that and where all the files are?

Yeah, no. So I have that all. I have a separate project management tool that I built as well. I didn't put that publicly, but I have a project management tool that helps me manage all my projects. And I have Claude update the project management tool based on where each project is being held. But the idea behind this whole thing is like, I want Claude to have a brain of all the projects it's building for me. As it's building projects, it updates a special place that has a memory of all my projects. Go ahead, Robert.

And do you do that on your server?

I do it on my server. I do it on my server so that it remembers it on the server.

Yeah. I love that. Yeah.

Absolutely brilliant.

And I could use any Claude code to access it. Go ahead, Robert. I have a question for Joe. I think to answer your question, Joe, if you can dream it up, you can create it with Claude code. Well, I'll add one to that. If you can dream it, you can create it. But I'll add one to that. If somebody else dreams it, you can create it. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense because I've been watching what you're doing and I've gotten some ideas and I'm building some stuff. Yeah. I mean, I pay for products. Sometimes I'll pay $500 a month for a product so I could learn it really well and I can get ideas from the product. And then I take those ideas and I tell Claude Code, hey, add this to my product or add, or make me an MVP of this. And I'll show you guys a product now. If you want to see another product, I'll show you another product that I built that hopefully will help me generate $1 million in revenue, just this product alone. But let me show you, let me show you an interesting product. Here you go. I'm going to share my screen again. Hopefully you guys could see my screen 3. This is screen 3. You should be able to see my screen now. So here's another product. This is called the IncList. I don't know if you guys ever saw this list. This is the fastest growing companies in America. This is private just for my customers. Everyone gets their own login. Every Bundle Plus member gets their own login. And the way this system works is this has a list of all the companies, 33,000 companies that are in the Inc. 5000. And I've manually built this entire list. Okay, so this list wasn't scraped or anything like that. It was manually built. And what we do is we give you the CEO's name, his LinkedIn, how many followers he has on LinkedIn. So for example, this CEO, you see this? He has 14,000 followers on LinkedIn. I'm not yet connected to him on LinkedIn. Inc. 5000 doesn't give you his LinkedIn profile. when you go to the Inc. 5000 website. That's something I had to manually find out. They just gave me his first and last name, but I had to look him up and I had to look at every single comp— every single person in his company and add all that information to the list. You get what I'm saying? I also had to add what type of technologies they use, and I had to add what their revenue is and a bunch of other information. And I compiled all that information in a meaningful way And then made that available to select clients that buy the bundle plus for the ones that qualify. And so you can be like, Joe, how do I qualify for that? Well, I created a qualification form for people to fill out a qualification form with a bunch of questions, which is, um, I didn't put that in my portfolio, us.com/thelist. Okay. So here's The list, get the Inc. 5000 list. Now I didn't, I, I didn't, I purposely called it the Inc. list. All 15 years, 33,000 plus. The list is a file. The, a list is a file. This is a machine. So it kind of shows you everything. AI research agents. It has a bunch of different things. I show how Sarah Rose made $500,000 in 6 months because of this. You see? And what if you— it normally costs you $33,000. What if you can get the whole thing for free? You see what I'm saying? And so click here to see if you qualify. When you qualify, it asks you a bunch of questions and then it tells you if you qualify or not. That's the idea. So when people say, oh, I want the list. Okay, go ahead, MK.

Yeah, I just want to highlight, you said not only just like the CEOs, but the people in The company?

Everybody. Yeah, everyone. Every— everybody in—

How are you updating that and keeping it current?

Evie AI has 480 million people inside Evie AI. And so we're— we have data providers that we access. And so if we have like a domain, for example, we know everyone that works at that domain. Now I am— I have this, this that I created with Evie AI. And so when people say I want it in the comments of this, Then I send them to that, this landing page here. And I tell them to fill out the questionnaire to see if they can get access to the list. Cause they're like, oh, I want the list. And if they answer all the questions correctly, then we get an email saying, hey, let's get on a call with this guy and see if he really wants the list and what's he going to do with it and so on. And that's the idea. Okay. So, and that's basically what I'm doing for everything. I'm creating application forms and I want you guys to consider that as well. Whenever somebody wants an asset from me, I make them jump through like 3 or 4 hoops to figure out if they actually qualify for that asset. And that will give me enough information to know if I can sell them something. Go ahead, Morty.

I created something. It's almost ready. It's not quite ready to show, but I got frustrated from the last class. So I said, let me do what Joe does. Okay. So I started talking to Claude. I'm creating a back office for dispensary offices so they don't have to hire staff.

Oh my God, amazing.

So I'm, I'm, I'm doing an office manager, I'm doing an inventory manager, I'm doing a bookkeeper, and it's almost ready. But I just got frustrated and I said, let me do what Joe does, and that's what I did. It's almost ready, and it told me— and Claude told me exactly what I need to do. I got to get a higher A subscription to Claude and stuff like that. It told me how to do a couple things, which I'm working on doing. But it was—

it's—

it's—

I did exactly what you said to do, and boom, it was just like, wow.

Yeah, yeah. Whenever I get stuck with anything, I just ask Claude, hey, what should I do now? I'm stuck. And it tells me, like, I'll give you another—

I remember during the second— I remember during the second brain, you didn't know what something was because Amy was going in a loop. So you said, let me ask Claude, and you just typed in and then Claude said exactly what it was. So I figured, boom.

Yeah, 100%. And here's something I was doing on the plane. So I just took a plane. I got up at 4:30 in the morning this morning. I jumped on a plane. And then while I'm on the plane, I'm meditating. I got my eyes closed. I got my thing and I'm listening to music and I'm meditating. And the universe is whispering in my ear, Joe, you need a podcast. I was like, I don't have time for a podcast. I'm not going to sit here and build a podcast. And then I realized, oh my God. Claude could make me a podcast. Not only could Claude make me a podcast, Claude could build the infrastructure for a podcast, can actually host the files, can actually stream it directly to iTunes and Spotify. And so I quickly took off my thing, went into Claude, and I was like, could you make me a podcast? They're like, yeah, what type of podcast do you want? And I was like, you have any suggestions? And it tells me a whole suggestion called the Evvii Podcast. Do it in seasons so you don't get burnt out. It explained though, I wrote a whole Substack article about it and it even gave me a prompt so that ChatGPT could interview me to prep for each episode. And I was like, okay, this is perfect. This is gonna be actually really easy for me to do. And it says, don't do anything until you get your 12 episodes done. And it, it, uh, like it broke down every single episode. Everything is organized. It already created the landing page for the podcast. It's ready to go. They're like, don't submit it yet until you have your 12 done. And then it will spit out each one of the 12 that I record to iTunes and Spotify for the next 12 weeks, for the next 12, 12 weeks or 12 months, whatever, whatever it said, probably for the next 90 days. So it's gonna do one season in 90 days. And during that season, I'm gonna prepare the next season. And so Claude already came up with an idea for every single episode. It told me to do a pilot. It told me to do the 12 episodes, what each episode should be about, broke it down by minute, what I should talk about. It told me to do 45 minutes. We were arguing back and forth. It should be a 15-minute podcast. Or a 45-minute podcast. It's gonna be a 45. And you guys are gonna see the podcast is gonna launch and you're gonna be like, damn, son, this guy used Claude Code to create an entire podcast. And Claude's gonna promote it too. So I'm like, this is the whole— it's gonna host it. It's gonna promote it. It's— I used to have to pay like $50 a month for a service to do this and a dissemination service. No, everything is free. Everything is free. You could do everything with Claude Code. It's all included. And you can—

you should have your clone do it. You should have your clone do it so you don't even have to be on it.

I actually like the idea of talking, you know what I mean? I don't know if you guys noticed, but I've been talking a lot. I actually like the idea of talking about my experience and my life with my emotion and all that. So yes, I will use— I have my clone already set up with my voice, but I might use my clone to like add things into the podcast that I missed out if I need an editor to add things. But for the most part, I'm going to be using my voice. I'm actually going to speak it out. And as I'm speaking it out, I'm going to be thinking of new things to say, but I'm going to have a 30-minute prep that Claude came up to prep for each episode. So I'm going to get interviewed by Claude. And if you want to see the actual prompt, go to my Substack, joeafflebaum.substack.com, and you'll see the actual prompt. I put it up this morning. So, and by the way, I post a lot of stuff on Substack, not as much as I'd like to. I'm gonna start posting more on Substack, but people pay me $8 a month to read my Substack. You guys can access it. There's a free version too, but people pay me $8 a month to read my Substack. So I need to do it more often. There are people that are making a living just off Substack, and Substack also has a podcast feature. So I'm gonna take my podcast that I publish to Spotify. I'm also gonna be publishing it to To, to, um, whatchamacallit, the Substack. Go ahead, Barbara, you have a question?

No, I just wanted to share what I've been doing, and I, I'm— I feel like I'm pulling a Joe. Um, and pulling Joe means channeling you. And basically, I've created a couple things that, you know, that I, I think are vital for my, my business. And so right now, what I'm creating is something called, uh, Randy Radar. And Randy Radar is my agent on Claude, who is gonna do research and really preview my newsletter list of people to help me decide who's— who should I— who should I talk to first, basically. And so I've been having this discussion between Claude and Chat about how to do this. And it's like, okay, so what's the game plan, folks? Let's do it. And it's like, oh, you need to do this and this and this and this. And it's like, Wow, I never thought that I would be asking AI, how do I do this? I thought I had to have all the ideas. And I thought, wow, this makes it so much easier when I ask it to help me figure out how to do it better. And I thought, thank you, thank you, thank you for just that. It's like, yeah, now I can get out of my way and say, okay, go do this. Here's what I need to do. Go do it. Thank you. I'll be back.

Exactly, exactly. And if you're doing it on the cloud, the computer never turns off. So it could just keep working and working and working, get it all done.

Yeah.

Yeah. And so, yeah, so the, the next thing that I'm working on is I'm having it do research for me. So it goes into the industries that I, you know, pharma, biotech, medtech, all the, all, all the techs. And I'm having it help me understand what's going on in the market so it can inform what decisions people are trying to make. And so that has been gold. And that again is like your brainchild. Just go and ask AI, how do you do this? And so it's really cool to see how it happens. Yesterday was really interesting because it kind of—it gave—it went off track because I'm not talking about decision intelligence in terms of AI, which is what it picked up as the signal. I said, no, that's not my—that's not my lane. I'm doing it in a completely different way. Here's what I'm doing. Oh, I'm sorry, we did the wrong thing. Da da da. It was hilarious yesterday. So thank you for that gift of just saying, hey, how do you do this? And, you know, help me do this better. Just fabulous. Thank you.

Yeah. And it figures it out. And the other thing I can, I can, I started doing also a lot is go out and research the industry to find out who's already done it and what features they have that I should be having. Look at Reddit, look at LinkedIn, look at niche forums. And go find out who's doing what and find all the top companies and this versus that. Make me a list of competitors and tell me what they're doing. Tell me the benefits of each one and tell me what features are essential for me and which features are not essential. So that's, that's really powerful as well to be able to do that. So check this out, guys. Somebody mentioned something about the bar mitzvah thing that I did here. So if I go back to my portfolio, where's the portfolio? Here you go. So I went to my nephew's bar mitzvah maybe 2 weeks ago or so. It was a Sunday. And I was really embarrassed because I did not get him a gift. I was totally embarrassed. And everybody got him a gift and I did not get him a gift. And I am sitting there thinking to myself, OMG, I am such a loser. I did not give him a gift. And so I am sitting there at dinner before I am leaving to the airport and I look at him and I am like, I only have a few minutes left. And I am like, Dude, what do you— what do you want? Like, what do you want? He's like, I have everything I want. I'm so glad that you came. That's the perfect gift. I'm like, no, that's not good enough for me. What do you want, Baruch? And Baruch looks at me and he's like, nothing. I was like, what do you love? And everyone at the table's like, baseball! I was like, okay, that's it. What's your favorite team? He's like, the Padres. And he gets all excited and he's jumping up and down about the Padres. And I'm like, do you know the score? He's like, unfortunately, no, I don't have the score right now, but there's a game going on. I wish I had the score. I went to Claude Code. I went to, I went to the, the place where we buy domains, Cloudflare. I bought the domain. I told Claude Code, literally a line of code. I basically said, build me a website as a bar mitzvah present for Baruch that has all the scores, all the stats for all the people in the Padres historically. Make it update itself, create a blog, create news about it. Make it in real time when the game is playing. Everything, and I walked away. I came back, and everybody's watching me do this. I came back ten minutes later; the whole thing was done. He's sitting there calling his father, calling his aunt, calling his sister, calling everybody that he can speak to, telling I have the best bar mitzvah gift I've ever gotten in my life—the best one ever. Now, if I go view it live, it shows all the live scores right now, and it says Mazel Tov Baruch right here. You see? And I realized this is the best gift anybody has. All the players, every single player stats, everything about every— everything was done because there's a baseball API. And that got me thinking, if there's a baseball API that's publicly available and it's free, I can build a whole baseball directory and a whole Wikipedia, a custom Wikipedia with all baseball information and compare baseball people to business people. And every baseball person has their connected business person who's an athlete in business and an athlete in baseball and connect them both together and turn it into this whole thing. I came up with this whole idea. Has all the standings, all the news. It's updating itself. It's loading all the latest news. It's real time. This is 5 minutes ago, dude. This is all indexed in Google. It shows all the different news that's happening. It's pulling real-time RSS feeds about what's going on in the industry. So he's sitting there refreshing this all day, his own website, and his friends are doing the same thing. BaruchSruge.com. Isn't that crazy? Isn't that the most beautiful gift?

It is the most beautiful gift. And so how many more bat mitzvahs have you been invited to across the world to give out whatever you want to give out? That would be a great podcast on the best gift ever, and I'm so cool. Just a really basic question about that. So he has his own website. It's updating. Did he— did you get him his own Claude instance, or does it run on yours, or how does that work? Is Claude still involved?

No, Claude's not involved. That's the beautiful— Claude's not— it built a piece of software that just isn't Claude. There's no AI involved at all. There's no— it's not AI. It's not an AI software. He just built a software that taps into the available APIs that are available for free online. It's sitting on my server because I have a server. I pay for a server. I'm paying $7 for a server. Okay. This is $7 for all my things, for all the apps, for everything. And I can do as many more as I want, unlimited, as many as I want. If there's gonna be a lot of traffic, we might have a problem, you know, and I have to upgrade the server to be able to handle more traffic. But who's going? Him and his sister and 14 friends. Who cares? And so I could see the traffic too. So bottom line is, um, He's, he's, there's no, there's no, it's just an API. You know, even the news itself, the news is linking out to other places. It's just picking the news up with an RSS feed from multiple places. You know what I mean? So there's no, there's no cost for me to do that except the $10 a year for the domain that I bought. But $10 a year for a gift for him, like, you know, that's not a, that's not a big expense. I also gave him some cash, you know, 'cause I was like, here you go, just in case, here's some cash. Uh, MK, go ahead. Yeah.

Yeah, so I, I'm sitting there, whenever I make anything, I think, how do I use it in a million more different ways? Yeah. And that you just made me think about how you have, like, you can, you can identify the users coming into your website. And is the advantage of identifying who those are, capturing who those are, and monitoring? Do you ever, is there a business case for that?

Of course, of course there's a business case for monitoring who's coming, what they're doing. And there's plenty of APIs that will do a reverse lookup on IP addresses, tell you the companies that come to your website and who the people are. There's, there's APIs for that.

Not an API. Yeah, there's an API, but it, it, do you use AI to, to, to build that in or to monitor it or, or—

AI doesn't mon— AI doesn't need to monitor it unless you want AI to analyze it. Monitoring could happen just from the server alone. As you know, you could use a cron to monitor things. on a regular basis. What happens post-monitoring, if an email needs to get sent out, AI doesn't need to send the email out. It could just be programmed to be done with programming. The, the whole point of this thing is the less you rely on AI, the better off you are because less things can go wrong. So the goal is to use AI to build systems that don't rely on AI as much as possible. Mm-hmm. Some people, and that's to answer Jim's original question, is like, how do you save on tokens? Because tokens will get expensive. Imagine you're scraping a whole website with tokens. So instead of scraping a website with tokens, you use AI to build a Chrome extension that scrapes the website. And now the Chrome extension does it programmatically without any token usage, but you used 12,000 tokens to build the Chrome extension that does it.

That's essential clarity I needed. Thank you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you. But you could use AI to go back in and say, should I do something more with this? Now look at what's happened. Is there something I'm missing? Is there—

Exactly. Who, what are the competitors doing? What are, what is other people doing? What if, if, and here's a fun thing that I recently did as well, is I ask AI to think divergently. Do you guys know what divergent thinking is?

If you explain it to me.

Yeah. So if there's, if there's, um, if you guys have never, you know what, why don't we ask, why don't we ask, uh, ChatGPT to explain it? That would be fun. Let me turn on my audio. Let's talk to ChatGPT for a hot minute over here. Uh, let's go into ChatGPT. Let's see if it knows. Yeah, let's go. I'm gonna press, um, Hey, ChatGPT, um, we're here with the Claude Masterclass and we're talking about divergent thinking and everybody's listening in to you. You want to say hello to everyone real quick?

Hey everyone, so nice to be with you all right now. So divergent thinking is basically the art of going wide before going narrow. It's that phase where you want as many different angles as possible, even the weird ones. The magic isn't just in brainstorming more, it's in deliberately Suspend judgment long enough for unusual combinations to show up. If you're teaching this, one simple move is to give people a constraint that sparks creativity, like come up with 7 ways to solve X that feel slightly ridiculous. That one usually opens people right up.

Okay, let's talk about that from a Claude Code perspective. If you were going to give MK an example, we're building apps in Claude Code, how would you use divergent thinking in that case? You there?

Yeah. So in that context, think about starting with the problem frame before writing any code. Get everyone to generate very different interpretations of the user's need, not solutions. So for example, if the user says, I want a quick way to summarize meeting notes, push them to frame it as a memory tool or a decision tracker, or even a what did we decide last time referee. Then ask Claude for 15 wildly different approaches, different roles, different tech stacks, even different metaphors. Then after you get that, ask Claude to combine the strongest elements into 3 new hybrids that nobody explicitly listed. That's where the spark usually lives. In Claude Code specifically, I'd coach them to split the work into explore, evaluate, design, and build. Most people skip explore. Don't use that phase to stretch the solution space, then narrow.

Okay. Thank you so much for that. And by the way, do you remember the $100 Million Offers book by Alex Hormozi? Hmm.

I have it right here.

Oh, you have it there?

Yep. Right now, offers $100 million. I have all 3 of them.

Amazing. Um, but that's, that's, that's, that's the whole kit and caboodle. You guys see, I just kind of chatted with it about it, and that's kind of like how I'm gonna, how I'm gonna do the whole podcast prep. I'm just gonna chat with ChatGPT.

Joe, I'm gonna miss it. Did you have something there, Hormozi deal that you made or no? Or am I missing it?

Did I do something related to Hormozi? Yeah, I built, I have a video, a 90-minute video that I made. Do you want me to build something related to Alex Hormozi's framework? That's not a bad idea. We can build something right now.

Yeah, I mean, that sounds great.

But yeah, so there I have a thing called article promo here, like templates. As you can see, I have tons of templates here and each one of these templates is an article or a video. And so I can go through this and I can find all the different articles or videos that I really like. And then I can send these out. And one of them is the $100 million offers one. And that helps me be able to send it out. So if I want to send you this, I could press copy. I could go to my recent post. Let's say, for example, or I could send it to you online or whatever. I could put in the community. I go to our school community and I could just drop it in as a, as a post in our community, just like this. I could take this video here, Ctrl+C, put it here, paste it. You see, Did you guys ever hear $100 Million Offers by Alex Hormozi?

Yep.

Okay, so I'm gonna go here and I'm gonna write ideas and press post. And then I'm gonna copy the link to the post and I'm gonna send it to you guys in chat so you guys could see it. I'm gonna click on the chat. Here was a chat. Here is a chat. So if you guys go and check it out, go comment on that and tell me if you've read it or if you're going to read it. Go ahead, go into the communities where we can find each other in the community. If you read it or if you're going to read it, and if you guys don't know what I'm talking about, look at the comments and make sure to like the video as well.

Joe?

Yeah.

I have a friend of mine who does videos with AI, makes some very cool videos for PR companies. And he told me he does guardrails on Claude and ChatGPT, and he loops them to check each other's work.

Oh, nice.

And he has them on loops going 24 hours a day. And he said the longest one he had was like 3 days straight. He has like a bunch of big master accounts, like $200 a month or whatever, and they're just like looping each other.

Wow.

So, so Joe, for this one, for Alex Hormozi, which I love his stuff, you essentially asked Claude to write you the presentation with your brand kit. And give you the, make the topics for you. You knew the book and then you just kind of narrated a 90-minute deal on it, or how does that work?

No, I basically studied the book myself, make sure I fully understood it, and then I broke down the book into sections based on my own thoughts. And then I made a presentation. I had a presentation made with AI. And then I, you know, I, I presented it. This is actually a presentation that I actually presented to an audience.

Wow.

And it's a replay, but I have a template of that replay inside Evie AI, so I never have to think about where my stuff are. So if somebody tells me, hey Joe, can you send me this resource or that resource? All my resources are templates inside Evie AI, all the resources that I have anywhere. So if I ever need a resource, I just go into Evy AI, I go to the templates. I know what list to look at, list of resources. I go straight there, I copy and paste it in. Now you could have Claude Code create you a, a whole landing page with all your resources, but for me it's just really easy if I'm browsing somewhere and I want to drop a comment somewhere with a resource, I just go into Evy AI and I have all my templates there. And you can get a free Evy AI account or a $29 account and then just add as many resources as you want to the templates. You get unlimited templates. So that makes life very, very easy for people that are, that, that are using LinkedIn or Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or email or anywhere that you are. I have tons and tons of templates. So that's, I wanted to show you that, but you know, for me, the showcase here is really about you guys sharing the benefits you got from the Claude Masterclass. I mean, my benefits is just amazing. The whole Claude Masterclass was created with Claude Code. I taught you guys what I learned, but what I learned, I learned from Claude Code. You know what I mean? It's almost like Claude Code taught me how to teach Claude Code, and then it gave me all the resources based on my own flavor of it, right? Everyone has their flavor. Um, and also my experience of being a web designer for 25 years, of owning a marketing agency for 20 years, of being an IT guy, of having, uh, multimillion-dollar business, like all the different experiences, being a LinkedIn expert, being an author, a speaker, an entrepreneur. Like I have a lot of experiences in my life that I kind of put into this class as well. So it wasn't just like, here's how you use Claude Code, you know, it was, here's how you build an operating system for your business with AI agents. You know, like Claude Code is just a vehicle to do it. We could have used Codex, we could have used Grok Bots, we could have used Anti-Gravity 2.0. We could have used Hermes. We could have used any harness. But for me, Claude Code was the easiest one for me to be able to teach you guys because it had so much built into it. And also because I wanted to teach you guys Claude Design as well. Actually, now I'm thinking about it. It's like my son last night, I'm sitting in Florida and my son calls me up crying. And I said, why are you crying? What's the problem? He's like, "I really need a monogram for my yarmulke for my bar mitzvah, and I don't know. Ma's telling me to go to Fiverr. I don't know who to pick in Fiverr." I was like, "Fiverr? Why are we going to Fiverr? We have Claude Design." I was like, "Let me take your me and your mother's monogram for my wedding because we're not using that anymore. We're done with that. But the monogram still exists. It was made by Michael Schwartz. You know who Michael Schwartz is?" He's a famous Jewish artist, very famous. You could look him up, Michael Schwartz. And he custom created a monogram for us. So it was a real piece of art. And I said, let's use that as inspiration and let's go into Claude Design and design a new thing. And so we designed a beautiful thing. The problem was that when I sent it to him, I sent him a raster image of it. It wasn't scalable to be able to print. And so I just had Claude Design say, make it a vector. And it made it into SVG file and I sent it and made it front, center, back. If you wanna see what the, what the, what the, what the results look like, I'm happy to share with you guys what the results look like. But if you just go to Claw Design and Claw Design just does it. It's just one of the most impressive things ever. Are you guys using Claw Design on a regular basis now? I mean, you should have, you should have all built out your, your design systems already. But I'll show you the, the SVG file if you wanna see it. I'm, I'll share my screen real quick. Hang on. Let me find it. Find— where am I here— my Zoom, and then just share my screen with you. But this is what it looks like because his name is Peretz, so we call him Pretzel. And so I made it like a heart with a pretzel with a pay with an olive with a tent with a tree with whatever, whatever he wanted. We went back and forth.

Look at you.

Yeah, we went back and forth for a while to figure it out, but I made it 2 colors depending on what he wants to do it. But you can see—

We're not seeing what you're— if you're trying to share your screen.

Am I? Are you not seeing my screen? Let me stop sharing. Oh, okay. You see something else? Hang on. Let me share screen three then. Okay. How about this? Is this better? Yeah. Oh, it's nice, right? Yeah.

Where's the pay? I don't see the pay.

This is a P. Look, a pay like that. Oh, cool. Yeah, I see it now. It's a pay with an olive, with an A, with a. We went through so many back. We went. We spent like an hour and a half together going back through a lot of different options. But it's a pretzel. Nice. I like it. I like it. Yeah, it's cute. And it's also a heart because I love him very much. And it's also a mustache because eventually he'll have a mustache if he turns bar mitzvah and eats Abdullah. Abdullah, he's gonna have a mustache. That's the idea. Um, but yeah, but that's— that's— everybody understands that. Yeah, but that's, that's Claude design. That's Claude Design. You're not gonna get that with like, Gemini's not gonna make you this. You know, you're not gonna be able to get this with a, the level of detail, you know, the branding ability that you get with Claude Design is like, it's like second to none. I mean, there's, I haven't seen anything, anything out there that can do what this can do at the level. I mean, did you guys see the, you guys saw the Very Good Painters thing, right? Yeah. Do you guys see that? You guys see that the very, the very good painters. I just showed you the website. That's the first thing I showed you. Verygoodpainters.com. But do you see the level of detail here in terms of like the design system? Can you guys see this? It created a whole like brand for it, like a proper, proper brand. Are you guys with me on this? If you go to Very—

I was like 5 minutes late coming on the call, so I missed the very beginning. But—

I made a website called Very Good— I bought a website, verygoodpainters.com, because I want all the painters in the United States to be on a website. And how do I— what painters do I want? A lot of houses have bad painters. And so I want to find all the good painters in the world and put all the very good painters in the world. On a website, and so I have an agent that's basically finding me the best painters in the world and putting it on verygoodpainters.com. That's it. And by the way, any idea and it designed the whole thing in advance before the website was built. Just the from the idea, it designed the whole thing. Look how nice it has a seal, a checklist. It tells you what to do. It tells you what not to do. You see, it tells you all the things that you shouldn't do. Has all the colors. Yeah. MK raised her hand. Maybe she has a question. Go ahead. Someone has a question?

Go ahead and ask a question about this. It's something else.

Go ahead. What's the question?

Okay, so you just mentioned in the world, and, you know, it's beautiful. And I just was curious if you want to monetize something and you're looking at the world, how to receive those funds from overseas electronically. Do you have a source for that? Because it's—

It's called credit cards. Have you heard of this concept called credit cards?

So only credit, you don't use other methods of No, I don't accept Bitcoin.

I don't accept Bitcoin. I don't accept eggs. I don't accept goats. I only accept credit cards. And I use a company called Stripe, S-T-R-I-P-E. And you know—

You do use Stripe?

Yeah, I use Stripe. And then you know who controls my Stripe? Claude Code.

Yeah. And your accountants like that for the overseas payments?

I don't know if my accountants like things. I don't know. I pay my accountant good money. My accountant deals with whatever my accountant deals with, but we have an accountant in the room named Morty. You can ask him all those questions. But my, the point is, the point is right now the most important thing that you need to do is solve problems in your business with the AI agents that you have.

Yeah.

And then showcase them. Like, that's basically what I'm doing. I'm finding problems. And here's something that hit me yesterday, is something that hit me yesterday. Somebody said this, I was on an Instagram reel or something and somebody said this, he's like, The things that I'm automating are the things that I need to do often on a regular basis, let's say daily, weekly, or monthly, but that don't require my decisions. When I heard that, I was like, oh my God, that was, that's hot. Like, I like the way that sounds. Hang on a second. It doesn't require my decision. That means things need to happen regularly, but it doesn't require my input. So what are the things in your life That need to happen on a regular basis that don't require your decision-making? You know what I mean? What are all those things? What are they? Like to look at email and figure out if something is spam or not. I don't need to decide if it's coming from Macy's, if it's spam. You know, if it's not from a customer, like whatever, I can have AI just decide that and kind of look at it and just throw it out. So there are things that are happening regularly that AI can do for me. It could make the decisions for me cuz I don't need to make those decisions. It's unnecessary. That's the thought process behind the thing. So I want you guys to think about that for a moment. What are the specific tasks in your life or the things that your clients are doing that doesn't require their decisions? How about that? The things that you can do for your clients. That doesn't require your decision or their decisions. And then you could have AI just automate those things because there are plenty of things that people are doing manually that they don't need to be doing manually. Go ahead, Jim.

Yeah. You, you, these calls are phenomenal. And you gave me, like, a, like, my brain is starting to click now because we just had one where we're, we're training an AI model, and I had 4,500 people come in overnight and counting. And they're telling me all the different models they use. So I'm thinking I could probably come up with some sort of directory or something like for people in our space, like, hey, we have users of this, that, and the other thing.

Like, how are you talking about— You talking about like, like good-looking models or ugly models?

AI models.

Oh, got it, got it, got it. I was like, I was like, he's starting a modeling agency. I didn't know that. Uglymodels.com. Look at you. I was thinking to myself, we should start— we should buy uglymodels.com so you can feel good about yourself.

So there you go. I, I would do that. Um, so I need like—

You got you this smile.

For a study, I need 100 people for the study, but I literally got 5,000 responses. So now I'm thinking, okay, so what can I do with the other 4,900? How can I monetize that? Like, I mean, maybe I can make a directory of, hey, we have people Who you can get for this, this, that, and the other thing, because, um, there's other companies that will want to talk.

That's a good idea. It's a good idea to have a directory. It's a good idea to have a directory of people that want to pay to be on the directory that want to be surveyed. I don't think that exists right now. So like, what, what do you, what are those people called? You could brainstorm with AI. This is something I would literally call ChatGPT on right now and just say, hey, ChatGPT, listen. I have this idea, I don't know what to do. And they kind of just brainstorm with me and you just talk to it. I would talk to Grok as well and I would be like, I have this asset, I have 350,000 people, I have 5,000 that are interested in this and that, and I have 10,000 that are interested in this and that. I have 20,000 that are interested in this and that. And I want to monetize that. Those people probably would be willing to pay a minimum, let's say $5 a month or $100 a year to be in a directory to potentially make $1,000 a year. And, um, and if I could sell 1,000 of them at $500 a person, that's $500,000. You know, it's not, it's not a terrible amount of money. You know, it's not, it's not nothing. You know, it's half a million bucks in profit per year, recurring revenue from 1,000 people. Imagine if 10,000 people bought it. You know, if 10,000 people paid $500, now you're talking about $5 million a year in recurring revenue with a zero expense. On a $7 server. You know what I mean? I would probably get a better server than that. Um, but at that point, but the, the, the thought process is if you can get X amount of people to pay X amount of dollars to solve X amount of problems. So there's a website called podcastguest.com. So if you wanna get on a podcast, they charge $30 a month or whatever, and they basically guarantee that you're gonna get on podcasts for $30 a month. So I'm like, oh my God, that's such a good deal. So I called up the CEO and I said, are you willing to give a 20% discount to my audience? And he said, absolutely. I said, could you make it code Mojo? Because I like mojo, you know, who doesn't like a little mojo in their life? And so he said, yes, I'll make code Mojo. And if you use code Mojo on podcastguest.com, I will give anybody 20% off to get listed there. So I listed it myself and I got myself 20% off. And then I gave it out to my community and they got 20% And everybody's thrilled and the guy's thrilled because what it costs him nothing to have a directory of people that want to be on podcasts. You know what I mean? So same thing with you. It's people that want to be, that want to do surveys. Go ahead, MK.

I didn't think I had it in my hand up. I'm so sorry.

That's okay. No worries. You're good. Yeah, but the idea is as follows, guys. You think of different divergent ways To monetize the assets you currently have. And you'll figure out how to do that. You'll figure out how to, how to be able to do that, cuz now you are empowered to create whatever you want now that you did the Claude Masterclass. And by the way, if you're watching this and you haven't done the Claude Masterclass, it's not too late.

Right.

You could just send the word Claude to 973-841-8868 and Claude will respond. Send the word Claude to 973-841-8868 and Claude will respond. And you know, the idea is, you know, yesterday I was talking to this guy, you know what he told me? I said, I wanna build a networking robot. I said, I bought networkingrobot.com. I had AI do research. The trademark is available. No one took the trademark networking robot. The domain was available. Networking robot. Is that a good domain? Give me a thumbs up if that's a good domain. Networkingrobot.com. Yes. Okay, good. Okay. Okay, thank you. So we got a thumbs up from everyone. And I said, I want to build a networking robot that can call people and network with them and build relationships with them. And it can also go to events. I want a physical machine that can go to events and the robot can tell you who you should meet at the event. It can scan people's faces. Sounds really strange, but it can scan people's faces And it'll know everyone who they are at the event. And then it'll say, hey, Jim's over there by the coffee shop. Go talk to him. He's a perfect client for you or whatever. He's a great referral. Oh, the connector. You wanna know the connector? Abe. Abe has 10,000 connections on LinkedIn. By the way, he just posted a picture of him and his wife, whatever, you know? Like it knows everything and it connects people together. It's a networking robot and people can call it, can text it, can WhatsApp it. So I said, how much would you charge me? He's like, for an MVP, I'm thinking it'll take 6 months and it'll be $5K a month. And I'll be like, what do you, what do you, what do you mean? What do you mean 6 months? Why is it gonna take 6 months? I was, he's like, cuz I'm using Claude Code. If I was doing it manually, it would take me 2 years, 3 years for an MVP, but it'll take me 6 months to build this with Claude Code. And I was like, you're using Claude Code and you're charging me $5,000 a month for this, for you to use Claude Code? He's like, yeah. And I was like, so what do you need me for? I asked him. He's like, 'cause you're gonna have to sit with me for hours telling me what to put into Claude Code. I was like, I don't need to tell you what to put into Claude Code. I could put it into Claude Code myself. If you're using Claude Code, you're gonna interview me. I'd rather have ChatGPT interview me. ChatGPT doesn't have an Indian accent. He started laughing. He's like, dude, you're very smart. I was like, you should come take the Claude Code masterclass. He's like, I know how to use Claude Code. I'm an engineer. I was like, okay, good luck. Thank you very much. Have a good day. It turns out you could charge $5,000 a month just to type what somebody says to you into Claude Code. And obviously people are willing to pay it because they don't know how to use Claude Code. 'Cause they, you know, you know how hard it was to install it on your computer. Most people get stuck there. They try to install it, it says something about Git and they give up. You know what I mean? They don't go through that extra bit. They're like, oh, you gotta SSH this and you gotta SSH that. Then you gotta download the server and connect the DNS. And you're like, no, no, no, no, I don't do any of that. I don't do any of that. But you guys did it. You guys all figured it out. You all have your servers, you all have your domains, you all have your websites, you have your SSL certificates, and you didn't have to type in any code, do any backend work or anything. You didn't have to open the hood. You didn't need to be— need an IDE. You didn't need any of that stuff. You have crons going, you have everything. You have agents that are talking to you on your computer and on your servers. That's amazing, guys. That's what people pay big bucks for. So figure out a way to monetize that. And thank you for being in my life. Thank you for attending the showcase. I'm glad that we looked at some projects. If you want to see the rest of them, go to evvius.com/portfolio. Go ahead, MK. Any final words?

Yeah, we have a, um, a group office gathering on Mondays at 3, if anybody else, 3 Pacific time, if anybody else would like to join us.

Put it in the, put it in the private, yeah, put it in the private WhatsApp group and everybody will go there and reply. And here's the other thing, guys. Jim signed up to our monthly mastermind that Arlene is part of. So we meet once a month for 3 hours a month. If anybody wants information about the AI Circle, let us know. And we meet for 3 hours every month and we do training on how to use all different types of AIs, not just Claude Code. So if you're curious and you want to learn more, you'll also get the recordings of the last 3 years as soon as you sign up. And if you want more information about that, ask me about the AI Circle. I think MK, you're part of it as well, right?

Yeah, for the first half hour until I start moving my longstanding meeting for the last couple of years off that spot. So.

Amazing. Amazing. Well, look, thank you very much for being part of it. Thank you, Arlene. Thank you, Jim. Thank you, everyone else. Thank you, Morty. Thank you, Barbara. And thank you, Robert. And thank you everyone that's here. And thank everyone that's watching. I'll see you guys soon. God bless.

Thank you.

Thank you, Joe.

Take care. Bye.
