to this. We're going to have the AI companion going as well. So for those of you that haven't used Zoom before, the AI companion is pretty cool. You can kind of just talk to it and you can say, hey, was my name mentioned, or is there something I missed? Like if you get up for a minute and, and I'm just in the middle of something, you can say, hey, what did I miss for the last 5 minutes? You know, it'll actually tell you. So it's listening and recording and thinking. So, all right, um, okay, we're going to dive right in here. I feel like I'm missing somebody. Who am I missing here? We lost Michael. Lost Michael. Michael disappeared. I need him for this part. I'm going to just text him really quick. Looks like we lost you. All right, so the schedule, guys, just so you know, um, I'll be sharing some of this stuff with you. I have, I have like a whole folder of documents and guides and things that you're going to be able to refer to. So don't feel like you have to remember everything. I know we have a good, uh, we have a good mix of experience in here, right? And we're gonna do just a quick round robin in a second here after I do a quick little fun demo, um, and then we'll, uh— welcome back, Michael. So, um, I would guess just based on what I, what I know from the people that are in here, right? Some of you are, uh, really good at computers and some of you are maybe like, okay, I'm trying to figure this out. And what I want you to understand is that when you're done with this class, I'm going to teach you like surface level stuff mostly, right? But then I'm going to teach you how with surface level knowledge, you can tell the AI to go deep and do all the crazy stuff so that you don't have to worry about it. That's the idea here, right? Is to be able to— you don't have to become developers to build software, right? When I— so quick story. When I— so back in 2016, I started— I founded a company called Seek, and I raised $13 million for that, right? I mean, raised $500,000 kind of friends and family round, and then I raised $2 million, and then I raised $10 million, and then, you know, We got up to $13 million and we ended up selling that company. I ended up leaving the company about 2 years before it was sold. We sold a piece of the company for about $5 million, and at the time, the entire company was worth $100 million. Right. So we turned $13 million into $100 million. Sounds great. Yeah, it comes with insane stress. Insane. When things aren't going right, we had to raise multiple times. We had to fire 20 people at a time. It's hard. It's hard running a business and it's extremely, extremely stressful. We ended up selling that business for a total of $10 million. Right. I put another CEO in place after I left and he just tanked it. I thought he wasn't going to tank it, but he tanked it and it was unsalvageable, which was really sad. And so a lot of those investors lost money. They didn't lose. The reality is a lot of them kind of broke even, right? But it wasn't like a big, you know, win. The reality is most startups that raise money end up going to zero. They end up not returning anything to the shareholders. The investors lose everything. And there's a lot of reasons for that. One of the main ones is validation, right? And it's not something you just do in the beginning. It's something that you have to do as you go on as you're building the process. And what validation means is you've got a good idea, you think your idea is the best in the world, but then you put it out in the market and nobody buys it. You're like, what the heck? Why haven't I made any money? I just spent $500,000, right? Spent $100,000, built this awesome app, I can't even launch it. You know, that happens every single day. Right? So don't feel bad if you've done that. I've done that. Everyone's done that. Let's try it at the, you know, their hand at entrepreneurship, right? Whether it's $100,000, $5,000, or $1 million, or WeWork, billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars that ended up going to zero, right? And they, you know, they figured it out. There's ways to go through bankruptcy and, you know, adjust things, but you don't want to do that. You don't want to do any of that stuff. What I'm going to show you today is how to build and validate at every step of the process. You can use AI to validate, but then you also should use other real people. Without further ado, we're going to jump right into the first demo. I'm going to blow your minds, probably. Probably I'm going to blow your minds. We're going to jump in here. We're going to create a brand new app. Now this, I'm sitting right now on a website called Replit, replit.com, and some of you may have heard of it, some of you may have not. But as you see here, it says, what do you want to build today? Describe an app or a site you want to create. All right, here's some prompt ideas: a book scanner, link in bio, AI chat, Firebase login, right? There's so many. Look at that, link in bio. Right now, see that many of you probably have seen a similar like link in bio type thing, right, where you where you can see like, oh yeah, here's the Twitter and here's the Instagram. You can put just in your own social, you could build your own custom link in bio and you can do it in minutes instead of having to go pay some other service or find some other thing to be done. And you can deploy it on your own and have full autonomy, full control over it. And it's so, so, so easy and it's so fun. Okay, so a few weeks ago, I— and many of you have heard this story already, but a few weeks ago I gave myself a challenge On Thursday morning, I just randomly was like, what's my— I post on LinkedIn every day and sometimes I sit down, I don't have an idea yet for the day, so I just think about it and I'm like, I want to talk about this today, right? Don't do this, don't do this. I've done this and made these mistakes. You can learn from this, whatever. Sometimes I just throw a picture up of kayaking because that's what I want to think about that day. But, but that day I said, hey, I want to build a business, a new software. Like, I've gotten really good at using this system, Replit. And I said, I think I can build something in Replit that is sellable, and I'm going to try to get my first dollars by Friday. So it's Thursday. I wanted to get it by the next day. So I had basically all day Thursday, all day Friday to see if I get my first dollar sold. And so I started building. I posted on LinkedIn. I started talking about it, kind of documenting my process as I went. Lots— I got like 100,000 people looking at it, following me and like rooting me and cheering me on. It's great. I didn't make it by Friday night. By Saturday night though, I finished it and I launched it at 3:30 AM Sunday morning. I was very tired at church the next morning, but I still went. But I launched it. I launched some Facebook ads and I had built not only just like a little website, but I had built a fully functional business with tax IDs and websites and social platforms and everything, everything so that if somebody were to land on it and say, hey, I want to give this guy my my credit card, they would feel comfortable. Or this business, my credit card didn't look like just a guy, one guy in, in his, in his little studio here, right? I want them to be able to actually feel comfortable giving me their money. Hold on, we're going to turn off Discord so we don't get bothered. Oh, you know what, I'll turn that back on later, but we don't need it right now. Um, so by Tuesday I was able— so Sunday I didn't do anything. I just, I took Sunday off and, you know, went to church, had a nice easy day. And my brain, quite frankly, was just exhausted and tired. I needed a day off. So I was glad I about that. And then Monday, kind of got back to work, and I started looking at things, started refining just a little bit. And I said— Tuesday, I said, okay, I need to switch my strategy a little bit. My Facebook ads aren't working, right? We're going to go through this, we're going to go through all this process so you can see how to do these things and how to validate whether or not it's working with just a little bit of money, right? I spent a little bit of money, didn't go anywhere, so I stopped, right? Perfect. And I switched my— I switched my strategy, and I said, I'm just going to call like 10 businesses and see what happens. So I messaged a few people that I know. I was like, hey, would you be interested in this? And hey, this is what I'm trying to do here. And by about my 4th text, I got a message back. She said, hey, yeah, I would love to do that. I'm like, great, where do I send the contract? I just immediately went to that. She's like, well, let me get you on the phone with someone. So I got on the phone with somebody immediately, $15,000 contract. That $15,000 has now turned into $60,000, right? And to, to let you behind the scenes, I have a contract now to do AI training for all 1,200 employees for the local Utah County government. If you're a Utah County government employee, you're going to have access to my AI training. Now, the AI training won't be anywhere close to what we're talking about today, but pretty cool, huh? Right. I started business on Thursday. I had $60,000 basically a week later. Unbelievable. I want to teach you guys how to do that. It used to take many, many, many moons. So bottom line is I've had a lot of people asking me about this and said, hey, I want to learn how to do this, right? So what I want to do right now is I want to create a website that can talk about my business in a weekend idea. Maybe I want to get more people like you guys to come and take my course, right? And I'll have to, you know, probably automate it. I am CEO of another company. I can't really do this full-time, but I can build it. What I'm going to build right now is a website with that. I'm going to come into ChatGPT here and I'm not going to— here's what I want to do. Please give me a prompt I can give Replit to build a website that will allow me to sell this business, see this build, build a business in a weekend with AI. Of course, I want users to be able to browse content that is related to every— that is related to everything we have discussed here at a high level. And then I want them to be able to buy a course and sign up for a specific time. Please create the prompt. Well, so I'm going to catch you guys up to what I'm doing here, but I want to just show you, I'm going to do this really quick, right? So I've basically been talking to ChatGPT. I have the ChatGPT app, desktop app open here. And I told it what I wanted it to do. I told it exactly what I was going to do. Hey, I'm going to build a website right now. It's creating a bunch of things, a compelling landing page, engaging hero section, course information, modules covered. Right. Course purchase and signup page, admin dashboard. Okay. All right. I don't love everything that it said, but what I'm going to do is I'm just going to copy it and I'm going to paste it in here. Nope, I'm not going to paste it in there yet. Sometimes when it— when you copy something out of AI, you have to put it into a better kind of text editor. And trust me, what I'm doing right now, guys, you're going to be like, I have no idea what he's doing. So don't worry about it. Okay. Um, all right, I don't need this. This is— all right, you know what I'm gonna do really quick? Please make this easier to copy into a Word document. I don't want to have to go through and edit it out and whatever. I'm just going to let it. Yeah, there we go. That's what I want. Course purchase and sign-up page, build HTML, CSS, Tailwind, JavaScript, Flask, Node, database, Stripe API integration, user experience considerations, step-by-step approach. Hey, that's pretty good. It's using my instructions. I love all of this stuff. Perfect. Now I can copy this and now we just go right into Replit here and I'm just gonna paste this and oh no, you know what? I wanted to change that one thing. Sorry, I need to do that. Paste. And then we're gonna get rid of, sometimes you have to go in and get rid of a little bit of its instructions so that it kind of understands what it needs to do. I don't need this. Okay, copy. Now I'm going to paste this right here. I'm going to say, let's build this website. Start building. So it's going to think for a second here. It's going to configure the app for a second. We're going to let it— we're just going to sit here and watch it think. Okay, it's thinking. You can see right here, I'll analyze the project requirements, propose a plan for building the online course website. Let me create a comprehensive project plan based on the information you've provided. And it did a lot of things that I've asked it to do because I've been preparing obviously for this course to be able to teach you guys and pass this on, right? So build the initial prototype, SendGrid, Stripe, Shade, CNEI, that's fine. We need a database integration. I, I can do that later. I don't really need that. Course content delivery system is fine. Yes, this is cool. Timeline, visual preview, 2 minutes. First app version, 10 minutes. Approve plan and start. All right, we're off to the races. Okay, so it's now going to literally start a bunch of what are called agents, AI agents that are now out there working. They're doing things. It's thinking, you know, it's— this is— this is— yeah, it's going to— yeah, AI Business Builder. So what it starts is just says, I'm just going to start building something, right? And in seconds here, you already are starting to see what's going on. You guys are going to be my testimonials. And, you know, we'll get those things later. But the point is, look at this. Boom. I'm just watching it run. I mean, it's just building something. Look how cool that is. You can use this with any idea, right? If you have an idea for like you want to sell tomatoes, out of your garden. Fantastic. You need a website. Jenny's Tomatoes, right? Boom. I'm launched. It's done. Right? As long as it takes you to just type in a request here, Replit can do this, right? Now I used AI to help me create the prompt. All I had to do is say, I wanna do this. What do you think? And it's like, yeah, great idea. Here's how you should do it. Copy paste. So again, surface level knowledge, Let the AI go deep and do all the hard stuff right now. What's going on? You guys are gonna be my testimonials and you know, we'll get those things later. But the point is, look at this, boom, I'm just watching it in front of me and it's just building something. Look how cool that is. There's a couple pieces, there's some, there's some vocabulary and a couple things that I'm gonna help you understand here that are really not hard. You can use this with any idea, right? If you have an idea for like you wanna sell tomatoes out of your garden, Fantastic. You need a website. Jenny's Tomatoes, right? Boom. I'm launched. It's done, right? As long as it takes you to just type in a request here, Replit can do this, right? Now I used AI to help me create the prompt. All I had to do is say, I wanna do this. What do you think? And it's like, yeah, great idea. Here's how you should do it. Copy paste. So again, surface level knowledge. Let the AI go deep and do all the hard stuff right now. There's a couple pieces, there's some vocabulary and a couple things that I'm going to help you understand here that are really not hard so that in, you know, 3 days and really by the end of today, you guys are going to be pretty proficient and the next few days will be like refining and working into that. Okay, so cool, huh? Right. Anybody think that's cool? I don't know. Raise your hand if you think that's cool. I think it's cool. All right. So I want you guys to get started immediately. Now we're going to get you guys started on doing things. I need a quick just poll. Who has a paid version of ChatGPT right now? Nate does. Okay. And it looks like we lost Michael Davis. Did we lose Michael? Maybe he's just not there. There is Michael. Okay. Michael's there. You do have ChatGPT. Okay. Sorry, I need to just extend my little, my little Zoom viewer so I can see all of you guys.
Perplexity, okay.
I don't have GPT, but Perplexity is okay, but you're probably going to want ChatGPT. You don't have to pay for it. There is a free version. So now you might need to pay for it for the class. So what I want you guys to do is you don't pay for it now. You don't pay for it right this second, but I'm going to have you pay for it in a minute. We might take a break and like everybody sign up, everybody play with it. But I want to get you guys into doing something right now. The second thing that I want you to use— who has an X account, a Twitter account? Anybody? Anybody? Jenny, come on. You got to have one. I know you're a social media— that's okay. You'll sign up for an X account. You're going to want an X account because you're going to want to be able to get on what's called Grok, right? So Grok is another AI. If you pay for X Plus, I think it's $30 a month. ChatGPT is $20 a month, right? So it's a little bit of an investment. You guys already paid an investment to be here. It's a tiny bit more. But then you have these tools that you can use and you can pay for just a month and you can try it out. But you're going to want to have these tools available to you and then Replit you're going to need as well. So there's, there's roughly $60 or $70 you're going to want to pay. I wish I had, you know, referral codes for all of these things so I could be making money off of all these purchases that I'm going to have you do. But But it's just these few, right? It's just these few that you have to worry about. The rest of everything we're doing, there's free tiers where you then pay if you go, if you're using it a ton. And, but we're going to try to avoid that. But Groq is another AI that is incredibly, incredibly powerful. It's one of the best ones out there. Perplexity is another one. Perplexity is really focused on a lot more research-based stuff. If you want to get into hardcore like business plans and coding and things like that, Perplexity is not going to perform as well as ChatGPT or Groq. And then the last one we're using, of course, is Replit. And Replit behind the scenes is actually, you know, it's here thinking and doing stuff. And look at her, look at her beautiful website. This is so cool, right? Look at our students, Alex Thompson, Sarah Johnson. Got good reviews already. Frequently asked questions. Amazing. Okay. But this course is, yeah, it's, or sorry, this platform is using Claude or Anthropic, right? So let's do— before we go any further and before you do anything else, I want to just do a quick introduction. OpenAI is the company that builds ChatGPT, right? There's your little, your little Google. And by the way, Google now uses AI to answer a lot of questions, right? But ChatGPT was developed and launched just a few years ago. Currently based on the GPT-4 large language model and that whatever. There's a bunch of other ones out there. So ChatGPT is a big one. Then you've got xGrok, okay? Grok, yeah, Google doesn't even want to talk about it. But Grok is an AI. You can ask it anything. You can, Grok is actually, it's kind of interesting, right? Elon Musk is, you know, a little crazy sometimes. Whether you like him or dislike him, he's just a brilliant guy. And one of the things he really doesn't like to do is put limits. And so Grok will— you can ask it to speak like down to you. You can ask it to swear at you. You can ask it to, you know, be your girlfriend. You can ask it to do all kinds of things and it will do it right. Obviously, just like the internet or anything, whatever you are putting in is what it's going to give you back, right? So you can use these tools in amazing ways. But Grok's ability to think and analyze and think deeply is fantastic. Caleb, looks like you raised your hand. Did you have a question? If you did—
So the first one is, is there a reason why we want to do Grok and ChatGPT, pay for both of them?
Yeah, yeah, great question. You want to be able to challenge the AI's assumptions. And if you only have surface-level knowledge or even if you're brilliant, it can outthink you any day of the week. And it might present something to you where you say, I'm not really sure if that's true. It might be true. It probably is true, but I just don't know. I'm not smart enough to know if that's true, right? Or when it does a bunch of research on something, hey, I need you to check this guy's work, or hey, I need you to develop this a little bit more. So when I was building what's called the GenAI API, this is, this is the system that I built, right? I'm gonna back out here, right? I was building the General AI or Artificial Proficiency Institute, right? I'm building tests, courses, quizzes, certifications, all kinds of things. And I'm not, you know, I'm a smart guy, but I don't have any ability to create unbelievable content that can actually get somebody to the point where they're certified in AI. But you know who can? AI, right? ChatGPT and Anthropic and Perplexity and Grok and all these guys working together. And so what I did is I started creating content and I would bounce it back and forth between the AIs to check and improve the work, right? And it became extremely— you become extremely confident in their answers. Now, one thing that you have to do when you're playing with AI is you have to question what it tells you. That's an important thing. Sometimes it says something because it thinks you want it to say that thing. And so you have to very specifically sometimes when you're asking something, say, hey, I want you to— so that in, in, you know, 3 days and really by the end of— here's my idea. What do you think about it? And then you have to— a lot of people just stop there. Here's my idea. What do you think about it? Oh, this is a great idea. You can do this and you can do this. You can do this. All right, well, how useful is that, right? They're just clapping for you, and, you know, maybe that's good, maybe that's not. But the reality is you want to say, what do you think of this idea? I want you to be critical, point out its flaws. If you think it's a bad idea, I want you to say so. If you think it's a good idea, I want you to say so also, right? You have to add some, some qualifiers to it so that it knows it can just be straight with you. Right? But anyway, when I was making the GenAI API and going back and forth and doing these things, one of the things I asked it to do is I said, hey, I want you to, I want you to help me create a mastery, an AI predictor test, right? And so it created, it created some questions and I'm gonna, I'm not reading this by the way. That's probably the wrong answer, right? I'm gonna go through here. I want to get to a question that's I don't even know if that's right. Don't, don't judge my answers. I'm literally just hitting B every time. Here we go. So here's an example of a question that I don't really love. I think it's okay, but this is an example of a question that ChatGPT came up with. AI answers are too brief when you need depth. Which approach is most effective? Well, first of all, I don't really know what that means. Which approach is most effective with what? Right? Like, it assumes that, you know, this is an AI prompting question, a prompt engineering question. Right? But I don't know that. And then if you look at the answers, request a detailed explanation with examples explicitly. Okay? I'll tell you right now, that's the correct answer. But then look at the next 3 questions. Ask for a longer response, comma, not specifying depth. So it gives you a partial right, with a comma and then an obvious reason why it's bad. Repeat the question, assuming detail increases. Okay, yeah, repeat the question is good. That's a good thing. Assuming detail increases. Assuming, you never want to assume anything. That's bad. Hoping, not specifying. All 3 of the last answers are basically the same wrong answer. It's a bad multiple choice question. And so what I did, now I didn't modify the pretest. I kind of was like, whatever, we'll just leave it for now. Because again, I kind of changed my business model, so I didn't focus on it. But when I created my full-on certification course, right, the test, I actually had to go in and I had Grok go in and make good, wrong answers. Right? I had it evaluate and it identified, oh, hey, these are bad questions because most people can just use logic without even understanding AI to understand which question is or which answer is correct. It's obviously this one because these are all the same answer, basically. Right? That makes sense. And so that's why I know that's a long answer, Caleb, but that's why you want to use different types. Now ChatGPT also is really, really good at some things. And Groq is really, really good at some things. And this just, it just comes from experience. For example, I'll show you something that Groq is really good at. Let's go, let's just go here. Give me a detailed analysis of the top 5 stocks to invest in today. Deep search. Now I'm going to start this process and you can then watch its thinking process. All right. Hey, I'm going to start looking. And now it's searching tons of websites and tons of things. And it's been going for 8 seconds right now. It might go for 4 minutes. before it, it comes back to me, right? ChatGPT does not have this available unless you pay $300 a month for Chat GPT Pro and you get access to their research modal and mode that will allow you to do a two hour request, right? Hey, I need you to do a full analysis of this startup idea and this business plan and come back with a full report and everything. You know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? And chat GP can do that, but Grok can do it for 30 bucks a month, Right. You're going to want Grok when you're doing your market research about your idea. If you have a current business or if you have a current business idea or whatever you want to let— you want to do a bunch of research, but you can have Grok, you can have the AI do it for you and it's going to go and it's going to dig and it's going to analyze and think and process. Then when we're done, I'm going to have it come through here. I'm going to say, all right, now I want you to think about this, right? Think really deeply. Do you agree with these stock picks? And are they really good choices right now? Now you're going to get an answer that's like, I'm just an AI, so don't trust in everything I say. We get it. But then it proceeds to tell you what it thinks. It uses extremely advanced reasoning and complex large context groups to be able to allow you to do this type of research. Before we go any further, What I want you guys to do, I want everybody right now, if you don't have an account, I want you to sign up for an x.com account, right? Just sign up for a Twitter account. If you have one, log in and get to Groq. Just get to Groq. That's all you gotta do. I don't need you to do anything else. You don't have to pay for it right now. You can pay for it if you want, but just get to Groq so that you can get into this. So go ahead and jump on your computer and get busy. And while you're doing that, I'm gonna take off my coat because I am very warm. I'm sitting here by a bunch of computers and they're heating up my body. I'm also going to grab a little bit of water. No, I'm not. I have a water bottle here. I'm just gonna do that. Okay, Carter, this doesn't mean you get to just start browsing X, but you can sign up for an account. For this purpose. Okay. My Carter's— Carter's only. By the way, let's do— while we're— while we're doing this, while you're pulling up X, you can also do it on your phone, by the way, guys. But I want today— you guys are going to be pretty proficient in the next few days. We'll be like refining and working into that. Okay, so cool, huh? Right. Anybody think that's cool? I don't know. Raise your hand if you think that's cool. I think it's cool. All right, so I want you guys to get started immediately. Now we're going to get you guys started on doing things. I need a quick just poll. Who has a paid version of ChatGPT right now? Nate does. Okay, and it looks like we lost Michael Davis. Did we lose Michael? Maybe he's just not there. There's Michael. Okay, Michael's there. You do have ChatGPT? Okay, sorry, I need to just extend my little my little Zoom viewer so I can see all of you guys.
Perplexity, okay.
I don't have GPT, but Perplexity is okay, but you're probably going to want ChatGPT. You don't have to pay for it. There is a free version. So yeah, you might need to pay for it for the class. So what I want you guys to do is you don't have to pay for it now. You don't pay for it right this second, but I'm going to have you pay for it in a minute. We might take a break and be like, okay, everybody sign up, everybody play with it. But I want to get you guys into doing something right now. The second thing that I want you to use— who has an X account, a Twitter account? Anybody? Anybody? Jenny, come on. You got to have one. I know you're a social media— that's okay. You'll sign up for an X account. You're going to want an X account because you're going to want to be able to get on what's called Grok. Right. So Grok is another AI. If you pay for X Plus, I think it's $30 a month. ChatGPT is $20 a month, right? So it's a little bit of an investment. You guys already paid an investment to be here. It's a tiny bit more. But then you have these tools that you can use and you can pay for just a month and you can try it out. But you're going to want to have these tools available to you and then Replit you're going to need as well. So there's, there's roughly $60 or $70 you're going to want to pay. I wish I had, you know, referral codes for all of these things so I could be making money off of all these purchases that I'm going to have you do. But But it's just these few, right? It's just these few that you have to worry about. The rest of everything we're doing, there's free tiers where you then pay if you go, if you're using it a ton. And, but we're going to try to avoid that. But Groq is another AI that is incredibly, incredibly powerful. It's one of the best ones out there. Perplexity is another one. Perplexity is really focused on a lot more research-based stuff. If you want to get into hardcore, like, business plans and coding and things like that, Perplexity is not going to perform as well as ChatGPT or Groq. And then the last one we're using, of course, is Replit. And Replit behind the scenes is actually, you know, it's here thinking and doing stuff. And look at her. We want you to do it on your computer because we're gonna be using— we're gonna be doing some coding. You guys are all gonna start building your first things. I wanna do quick intros. Caleb will start with you. Tell us who you are, what you're about, what you're what you're working on in life.
Yep, so I'm Caleb Belk, uh, from Fillmore, Utah. I'm a software developer by trade, um, though I like to say an entrepreneur by heart. I'm always having, uh, business ideas. And so, uh, yeah, kind of hoping to, um, you know, learn more of, of the parts of business building and validating that that I may not be so good at. I'm, I'm pretty good at, at building out my ideas, but maybe not so good at validating, uh, and stuff like that. So really interesting in how I can speed things up as well to get as many business ideas out there and, and hopefully actually earn some money from some someday.
Caleb, what kind of development do you do?
Um, uh, full stack. So I do a little bit of front and backend, although right now my job is, uh, mainly backend, but You know, personally I do kind of full stack.
So do you do apps?
Personally, yes. I haven't done them professionally.
Got it.
Very cool.
And have you built any apps or anything with AI yet?
No, no, I've been, I've been meaning to try it out. The software development community is pretty torn on AI app builders, but I wanted to try some out for myself.
Yeah. Well, I mean, thank you. Thank you. That's awesome. So yeah, I want to, I want to elaborate just a tiny bit on what Caleb said. A lot of developers, as you can imagine, are scared of this kind of technology, right? I can build a fully functioning software system, right? Like you saw, like you saw here, right? I mean, I have, I have admin stuff, course content and users and amazing ability to do incredible things, courses and certifications and Like being able to build this in a weekend is insane. Caleb knows that that's true, having built it, right? Those that are actually developers are just like, what the heck? How am I going to deal with this, right? And of course, you know, there's— they're always going to be like, well, I'm better and it can't do this. And the reality is, yes, it can. It is smarter than everybody on the planet. It can do 100 or 1,000 things at once if you throw enough money at it, right? If you throw enough processing power at it, it can think, you know, like 1,000 people or 100,000 or a million people. Again, if you have server farms like, you know, Facebook does, or sorry, Meta does, or X does, or whatever, Amazon, you can build unbelievable things with unbelievable context and unlimited. You can say this project right now, the GenAI project, is currently sitting at about 116,000 lines of code. And it all works quite— our beautiful website. This is so cool, right? Look at our students. Alex Thompson, Sarah Johnson. Got good reviews already. Frequently asked questions. Amazing. Okay. But this course is— yeah, it's— or sorry, this platform is using Claude or Anthropic, right? So let's do— before we go any further and before you do anything else, I want to just do a quick introduction. OpenAI is the company that builds ChatGPT, right? There's your little, your little Google. And by the way, Google now uses AI to answer a lot of questions, right? But ChatGPT was developed and launched just a few years ago, currently based on the GPT-4 large language model. And that, whatever, there's, there's a bunch of other ones out there. So ChatGPT is a big one. Then you've got X- Grok. Okay, Grok. Yeah, Google doesn't even want to talk about it, but Grok is an AI. You can ask it anything. You can— Grok is actually— it's kind of, it's kind of interesting, right? Elon Musk is, you know, a little crazy sometimes. Whether you like him or dislike him, he's, he's just a brilliant guy. And one of the things he really doesn't like to do is put limits. And so Grok will You can ask it to speak like down to you. You can ask it to swear at you. You can ask it to, you know, be your girlfriend. You can ask it to do all kinds of things and it will do it right. Obviously, just like the internet or anything, whatever you are putting in is what it's going to give you back, right? So you can use these tools in amazing ways. But Grok's ability to think and analyze and think deeply is fantastic. Caleb, looks like you raised your hand. Did you have a question? If you did—
so the first one is, is there a reason why we want to do Groq and ChatGPT, pay for both of them?
Yeah, yeah, great question. You want to be able to challenge the AI's assumptions. And if you only have surface-level knowledge, or even if you're brilliant, it can outthink you. Any day of the week. And it might present something to you where you say, I'm not really sure if that's true. It might be true. It probably is true, but I just don't know. I'm not smart enough to know if that's true, right? Or when it does a bunch of research on something, hey, I need you to check this guy's work, or hey, I need you to develop this a little bit more. So when I was building what's called the GenAI API, this is, this is the system that I built, right? I'm going to, I'm going to back out here, right? I was building the The General AI or Artificial Proficiency Institute, right? I'm building tests, courses, quizzes, certifications, all kinds of things. And I'm not, you know, I'm a smart guy, but I don't have any ability to create unbelievable content that can actually get somebody to the point where they're certified in AI. But you know who can? AI. Right? ChatGPT and Anthropic and Perplexity and Grok and all these guys working together. And so what I did is I started creating content and I would bounce it back and forth between the AIs to check and improve the work, right? And it became extremely— you become extremely confident in their answers. Now, one thing that you have to do when you're playing with AI is you have to question what it tells you. That's an important thing. Sometimes it says something because it thinks you want it to say that thing. And so you have to very specifically sometimes when you're asking something, say, hey, I want you to— here's my idea. What do you think about it? And then you have a lot of people just stop there. Here's my idea. What do you think about it? Oh, this is a great idea. You can do this and you can do this. You can do this. All right. Well, how useful is that? Right. They're just clapping for you. And, you know, maybe that's good. Maybe that's not. But the reality is you want to say, what do you think of this idea? I want you to be critical, point out its flaws. If you think it's a bad idea, I want you to say so. If you think it's a good idea, I want you to say so also. You have to add some qualifiers to it so that it knows it can just be straight with you. But anyway, when I was making the GenAI PI and going back and well, and I have,. And I have things like Groq and ChatGPT and Anthropic Claude. I have them check my work and I'll say, or like the, the AI's work, I'll say, hey, we did this, we did this, we did this. Yep. That's perfect. Look at the code. Yep. Looks amazing. Right? There's ways you can go forth and doing these things. One of the things I asked it to do is I said, hey, I want you to, I want you to help me create a mastery, an AI predictor test. Right? And so it created, it created some questions and I'm gonna, I, I'm not reading this by the way. That's, probably the wrong answer, right? I'm going to go through here. I want to get to a question that's— connect to those. You can connect even to GitHub and things like that so that it can check your work. Quite frankly, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, which is the model that we're going to be working with inside of Replit, is a very, very good model. I don't even know if that's— don't judge my answers. I'm literally just hitting B. And it's only going to get better, right? 2 years from now, the most advanced engineers won't be every time. Here we go. So here's an example of a question that I don't really love. I think it's okay, but this is an example of a question that ChatGPT came up with. AI answers are too brief when you need depth. Which approach is most effective to take on AI today? The most advanced, advanced engineers can maybe think of a different way to do it. Well, first of all, I don't really know what that means. Which approach is most effective? Even though the AI could, if it was directed the right way, but it might think of a way that it hasn't been done before. In 2 years, you're going to have, you're going to have AI that can outthink, outcode, and come up with new ways that have never even been thought of before. And it's with what, right? Like it assumes that, you know, this is an AI prompting question. A prompt engineering question, right? But I don't know that. And then if you look at the answers, request a detailed explanation with examples. It's developing so, so fast. So you just have to be ready to use these tools. And the tools might even change. Replit might be different, right? Replit might get passed by something else. But that's okay. If you understand the concepts that we're learning in this course, you're gonna be awesome. Okay. All right. Next, we'll do just— I'm just doing it illicitly. Okay. I'll tell you right now, that's the correct answer. But then look at the next 3 questions. Ask for a longer response, comma, not specifying depth in the order that I'm seeing it here.
Nate. Yeah, so my name is Nate Mills. I'm from Farmington, Utah. I'm here to learn more about how to use AI and to get more refined results rather than just surface level results. I've got a company that is fighting wire transfer theft. We worked for years to get the tech up and running, started selling to banks in the last 7 months. And while we don't have any banks that have signed up, we had an overwhelming response from them. Billions of dollars worth of pipeline, but no closed dates yet. It takes a long time to sell banks. And, and what I find myself doing is that we've self-funded the company so far, um, couple million dollars in already. We've got validation that this is what the market wants. It's just, I, I, I, I'm, I'm needing more done in my business than I got money to buy the experts for. And so that's why I'm here for this class is so that I can take my knowledge about how a business should run and my agency background, having done it almost 100 times and basically teach these AI tools to think like a marketer or think like a product person or think like a, um, a, a sales development rep or business development people and just basically build a bunch of AI-based employees essentially for my business so that I can cover more ground with, with the resources that I've got. So really excited about the class. I don't know how close I'll get with that. But from what Jon was able to pull off in a couple of days, if I could learn those basic skills, I'll be thrilled with the outcome of this class.
Awesome. That's very cool. And my quick response to you is there are going to be— the reality is if you direct the AI to focus on a certain thing, like for example, if you say, hey, I need you to act as an expert sales consultant, right? I need you. Here's my exact situation. What should I do here? Take me step by step through, ask me a question. Anyway, I'm gonna teach you some cool tricks to get really, really good feedback from AI that can then become one of your employees, right? I mean, that's really what it is.
I'm so, so excited about that. And that there's some coding thing that, things that I could do. I've got a technical, uh, person, but he, he's focusing on big senior engineer type problems and there's some junior level stuff like, I need to create a little service that can hash a document for somebody and I'd prefer not to bother him with it and maybe be able to tackle some basic things like that on my own.
You could tell Replit to do that and be done before you're done, you know, whatever. By the way, let's go back to Replit. So right here it's, it's running apps and it's trying to do all kinds of things. It's asking for a Stripe key. Let's hold off on the actual Stripe integration right now. Finish building the prototype. We'll do this later.
It's like you're talking to a person. It's unbelievable.
Like I'm talking to a person. That's, that's what's brilliant. So we'll let it do that. And we'll just let it kind of work in the background. Thank you, Nate. Carter, what do you want to build? If you're there, you turned off your video. Maybe he had to walk away. Carter does have to leave a little bit early because he's got some, some things. He might have had to step away for a second. We'll skip over him. Michael.
There we go.
Thank you.
Hi, my name is Michael Davis. My background's in genetics. I currently am running a company that actually engineers bacteria for agriculture, but AI is just too big of a thing that's happening right now to not get experience on. So I've been experiencing or experimenting a lot with building AI agents is what I'm really interested in right now. And when to utilize AI agents and call them with an API versus just having Replit build something, like when to automate versus when to actually just have AI build is what I'm really interested in looking at right now.
Very cool. Michael also shared some cool stuff with me. I want you to share really quick what you did just like over the last week, Michael, that you were texting me about. Go ahead and just take a second.
Yeah, yeah. So I saw what Jon was doing and it just looked like so much fun. So I did it myself last week and I built out a product that for technology transfer offices. I don't know if you guys know anything about those, but every university has an office, basically a little business where they license all the technology that comes out of the university and they sell those licenses to people. And they're not a very well-served group of people. And so I wanted to build some technology that essentially created leads for those companies by scraping with AI all these opportunities and then scraping all of their private documents in a private database and then matchmaking between those two databases that AI creates. And I think it's really cool. I went out and tried to sell it as well.
You tried to sell it how many days after starting working on it? 3. Okay, awesome.
Yeah, 3 days after. Jon was really encouraging. I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't seen Jon do it. And I learned really invaluable information just by getting out there as soon as possible. I probably would've spent an extra 2 weeks honestly building stuff that, you know, I had heard was an issue. I would've spent an extra 2 weeks just building, but getting out there immediately after the weekend that I, I didn't even have like a pay system built yet. I literally just went out and I'm like, hey, It was an MVP. What do you think of this? And they told me—
So it gives you a partial right with a comma and then an obvious reason why it's bad. Repeat the question, assuming detail increases. Okay, yeah, repeat the question is good. That's a good thing. Assuming detail increases. Assuming— you never want to assume anything. That's bad. Hoping— not specifying. All three of the last answers are basically the same wrong answer. It's a bad multiple choice question. And so what I did now, I didn't, I didn't modify the pretest. I kind of was like, whatever, we'll just leave it for now. Because again, I kind of changed my business model, so I didn't focus on it. But when I created my full-on certification course, right, the test, I actually had to go in and I had Grok go in and make good wrong answers, right? I had it evaluate and it identified, oh, hey, these are bad questions because most people can just use logic without even understanding AI to understand which question is or which answer is correct. It's obviously this one because these are all the same answer basically. Right? That makes sense? And so that's why I know that's a long answer, Caleb, but that's why you want to use different types. Now ChatGPT also is really, really good at some things. And Grok is really, really good at some things. And this just, it just comes from experience. For example, I'll show you something that Groq is really good at.
Let's go.
Let's just go here. Give me a detailed analysis of the top 5 stocks to invest in today. Deep search. Now I'm going to start this process. And you can then watch its thinking process. All right. Hey, I'm going to start looking. And now it's searching tons of websites and tons of things, and it's been going for 8 seconds right now. It might go for 4 minutes before it, it comes back to me. Right. ChatGPT does not have this available unless you pay $300 a month for ChatGPT Pro and you get access to their research modal and mode that will allow you to do a 2-hour request. Right? Hey, I need you to do a full analysis of this startup idea and this business plan and come back with a full report and everything you know, Right? And you can do that, but Grok can do it for 30 bucks a month, right? You're going to want Grok when you're doing your market research about your idea. If you have a current business or if you have a current business idea or whatever you want to let, you want to do a bunch of research, but you can have Grok, you can have the AI do it for you. And it's going to go and it's going to dig and it's going to analyze and think and process. Then when we're done, I'm going to have it come through here. I'm going to say, all right, now I want you to think about this, right? Think really deeply. Do you agree with these stock picks and are they really good choices right now? Now you're going to get an answer that's like, I'm just an AI, so don't, you know, trust in everything I say. Okay, we get it. But then it, you know, proceeds to tell you what it thinks, right? So it uses extremely advanced reasoning and complex large contexts groups to be able to allow you to do this type of research. So before we go any further, what I want you guys to do, I want everybody right now, if you don't have an account, I want you to sign up for an X.com account, right? Just sign up for a Twitter account. If you have one, log in and get to Groq. Just get to Groq. That's all you got to do. I don't need you to do anything else. You don't have to pay for it right now. You can pay for it if you want, but just get to Groq so that you can get into, into this. Go ahead and jump on your computer. And get busy. And while you're doing that, I'm going to take off my coat because I am very warm. I'm sitting here by a bunch of computers and they're heating up my body. And I'm also going to grab a little bit of water. No, I'm not. I have a water bottle here. I'm just going to do that.
Okay.
Carter, this doesn't mean you get to just start browsing X. But you can sign up for an account for this purpose. Okay. My— Carter's Carter's on. And by the way, let's do— while we're, while we're doing this, while you're pulling up X, you can also do it on your phone, by the way, guys. But I want you to do it on your computer because we're going to be using— we're going to be doing some coding. You guys are all going to start building your first things. I want to do quick intros. Uh, Caleb will start with you. Um, tell us who you are, what you're about, what you're, what you're working on in life.
Me, exactly what they thought of it, and I was able to pivot, change what I thought was working, what I didn't think was working, and I think I'm a lot closer to signing, um, some large clients now.
So cool. I mean, the last part that he said, the pivot, after talking to clients. Brilliant, right? How much money did you spend developing that prototype, Michael? $100. Perfect. Amazing. Amazing. I spent $1 million building my first prototype of Seek. And now that's, that's not completely true. That's not completely true. I spent about $60,000 with the very, like, I would, I would call it pre-MVP. And I actually managed to go and sell $30,000 of it before I went beyond that. Then I spent $1 million to build it up to like a nice, beautiful, big version. Then we ended up scrapping that and starting over. So obviously that's not efficient, right? You and I both, within less than a week, we're able to go and get real feedback from customers spending way less than $1,000, less than $500. And, and we saved ourselves huge amounts of headache of trying to raise money to do this and pay huge amounts of money, right? Unbelievable what's possible when you, when you take that approach of quick feedback from the market. That's going to be very, very critical in some of our discussions. All right. Thanks, Michael, for that. Jordan, go ahead.
All right. My name is Jordan Bowles. I met Jon a few months ago and had reached out to him about helping me build an app that I had currently spent 18 months building and kind of got scammed for a little over $100,000 and they just were never able to build me the product that I wanted. And so Jon and one of his other partners was going to help me rebuild it. And then we kind of decided to pivot and try something different. And he introduced me to Replit and thought he could help me build something that, that would be a lot more, a lot cheaper and more efficient just to get started, just to go test it, just to go get some feedback on it. And then me and him have been working on that for a few months now. And he finally just said, hey, let me help you. Let me help you learn how to build this yourself. You know, I'm happy to keep doing it for you. But let me teach you how to fish. And so, like I said, this has been almost 2 years now that I've been working on this, this app, and it's a product that I'm super passionate about and want to get it out there sooner than later.
So give us a 30-second elevator pitch on the product.
All right, the product is a mindset app that teaches people to be proactive with their mindset rather than reactive. Most people these days, you go through something difficult or hard or have a traumatizing experience and it's reactive. It's, oh man, now I need to go to therapy or not hitting on therapy at all, but now I need to go do this or see this or doctor or whatever. And the app is to be— is there to help you build up that wall, that wall, that strength. Kind of, I refer to it as your mind is a garden to kind of feed that garden and build that garden. Beforehand so that when you come across those things in life, you're just kind of ready to go. So, and ready to ride the roller coaster. So yeah, my background is kind of coaching, high school coaching and club coaching volleyball. I've seen for many, many years a need for athletes and helping them, helping them teach or teach them how to be better with their mindset in sports. And so, and then I thought, you know, I think that's for everybody these days, especially after the last few years. So yeah, that's a little bit about me.
I love it. Yeah. So Jordan, Jordan shared the story, right? He, he— I wouldn't even call it got scammed. He just got drawn into the old way that's expensive and inefficient, right? Where, where really what was happening was this, this company— we don't have to, you know, bash them, so we won't say their name, but it was a software company that was then outsourcing all of their work to India and Bangladesh and Ukraine or wherever the heck they were finding their developers. And, and so they're paying those developers in India, you know, $20 an hour. They're charging Jordan $60 an hour or $80 an hour or $120 an hour, and they're pocketing everything while someone else is doing crappy work, right? And it happens all the time. There are 1,000 agencies in the US alone that do this. I bet there's 10,000 agencies, right? It's, it's a business model that's worked, right? But the reality is it's not the best way to do it. And now that you can have agent— I mean, You guys are kind of watching me as— I don't know if you're watching my screen, and I've typed a couple. Yep.
So I'm Caleb Belk, uh, from Fillmore, Utah, and a software developer by trade, um, though I like to say an entrepreneur by heart. I'm always having business ideas. And so, uh, yeah, kind of hoping to, um, you know, learn more of, of the parts of business building and validating that that I may not be so good at. I'm, I'm pretty good at, at building out my ideas, but maybe not so good at validating and stuff like that. So really interesting in how I can speed things up as well to get as many business ideas out there and, and hopefully actually earn some money from some someday.
Caleb, what kind of development do you do?
Full stack. So I do a little bit of front and backend, although right now my job is mainly backend, but Personally, I do pull requests and say, hey, just clean it up a little bit.
We've got some conflicting colors here and we need to work on this and make it look a little bit better. See this color, this Learn More, sometimes it just does weird things and it doesn't know. But you can actually screenshot things and say, hey, the Learn More button is unreadable because it's using White text on a white button. Please fix this and look for other cases in the app where this might be happening. Clicked on a white button. Please fix this and look for other cases in the app where this might be.
Kind of full stack.
So do you do apps?
Personally, yes. I haven't done them professionally.
Got it. Very cool. And have you built any apps or anything with AI yet?
No, no, I've been, I've been meaning to try it out. The software development community is pretty torn on AI app builders, but I wanted to try some out for myself.
Yeah. Well, I mean, thank you. Thank you. That's awesome. So yeah, I want to, I want to elaborate just a tiny bit on what Caleb said. A lot of developers, as you can imagine, are scared of this kind of technology, right? I can build a fully functioning software system, right? Like you saw, like you saw here, right? I mean, I have, I have admin stuff, course content and users and amazing ability to do incredible things, courses and certifications. And like being able to build this in a weekend is insane. Caleb knows that that's true having built it, right? Those that are actually developers are just like, What the heck? How am I going to deal with this? Right? And of course, you know, there's— they're always going to be like, well, I'm better and it can't do this. And the reality is, yes, it can. It is smarter than everybody on the planet. It can do 100 or 1,000 things at once if you throw enough money at it, right? If you throw enough processing power at it, it can think, you know, like 1,000 people or 100,000 or 1 million people again. If you have server farms like Facebook does, or sorry, Meta does, or X does, or whatever, Amazon, you can build unbelievable things with unbelievable context and unlimited. You can say that this project right now, the GenAI project, is currently sitting at about 116,000 lines of code, and it all works quite well. I have things like Groq and ChatGPT, and Anthropic Claude, I have them check my work. I'll say, or like the AI's work, I'll say, hey, we did this, we did this, we did this. Yep, that's perfect. Look at the code. Yep, looks amazing. There's ways you can connect to those. You can connect even to GitHub and things like that so that it can check your work. Quite frankly, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, which is the model that we're going to be working with inside of Replit, is a very, very good model. So, and it's only gonna get better, right? 2 years from now, the most advanced engineers won't be able to take on AI. Today, the most advanced engineers can maybe think of a different way to do it. Messages in the code. All right, so anyway, we're just kind of building, we're understanding. I wanna finish up here with Jenny and Rosanne. We'll do that one at a time. And you don't have to go into anything and, even though the AI could if it was directed the right way, but it might think of a way that it hasn't been done before. In 2 years, you're going to have AI that can outthink, outcode, and come up with new ways that have never even been thought of before. And it's— Rosanne, I see you smiling and you're nervous about it. We're going to go, we're going to work with you as well. And I'm going to have some one-on-one time with everybody. Although some of the one-on-ones— Developing so, so fast. You just have to be ready to use these tools and the tools might even change. Replit might be different, right? Replit might get passed by something else, but that's okay. If you understand the concepts that we're learning in this course, you're gonna be awesome. Okay. All right. Next we'll do just— I'm just doing it in the order that I'm seeing it here.
Nate.
Yeah. So on one time, most of it will actually be in front of everybody, but it's going to be just very, very basic stuff. I'm just going to help you.
My name is Nate Mills. I'm from Farmington, Utah. I'm here to learn more about how to use AI and to get more refined.
I'm going to help you work through this. Understanding how to do these things is really fun. All right, Jenny, you first.
Go ahead. Results rather than just surface-level results. I've got a company that is fighting wire transfer theft. We worked for years to get the tech up.
I'm Jenny Bowles.
I got roped into this because I'm Jordan's favorite sister and I'm running, started selling to banks in the last 7 months. Um, and, uh, while we don't have any banks that have signed up, we had, um, an overwhelming response from them.
Um, with his, his app, he thought it would be beneficial to have more people, billions of dollars worth of pipeline.
But no closed dates yet. It takes a long time to sell banks. And what I find myself doing is that we've—
knowing how to do this so that we can hopefully better get it going.
And yeah, so, you know, so that's his dream. What's your dream? Tell me about you. Tell me about Jenny.
Self-funded the company so far, um, a couple million dollars in already. We've got validation that this is what the market wants. It's just, I, I, I, I'm, I'm needing more done in my business than I got money to buy the experts for. And so that's why I'm here for this class is so that I can take my knowledge about how a business should run and my agency background, having done it almost 100 times and basically teach these AI tools to think like a marketer or think like a product person or think like a, Me, I, I don't know. I'm generally computer illiterate, so hopefully, um, a, a sales development rep or business development people and just basically build a bunch of AI-based employees essentially, you know, this, yeah, for my business so that I can cover more ground with, with the resources that I've got. So Really excited about the class.
I don't know how close I'll get with that, but no, good, good enough for, for someone who, you know, I like being able to—
from what Jon was able to pull off in a couple days, if I could learn those basics, to speak in commands and it knows what I want. So yeah, I'll be thrilled with the outcome of this class.
Awesome, that's very cool. And my quick response to you is there are going to be The reality is if you direct the AI to focus on a certain thing, like for example, if you say, hey, I need you to act as an expert, it doesn't even argue with you. And that's nice. Yeah. Unless you ask it to argue with you, which I might. That's awesome. Okay, Roseanne, tell us about yourself.
So I have spent all my life being a mom and hardly worked.
Sales consultant, right? I need you— here's my exact situation. What should I do here? Take me step by step through. Ask me a question. Anyway, I'm gonna teach you some cool—
working out in the workforce, but I am interested in learning more about AI because I really don't understand—
tricks to get really, really good feedback from AI that can then become one of your employees, right? I mean, that's really what it is.
I'm so, so excited about that.
And that there doesn't even argue with you, and that's nice. Yeah, um, unless you ask it to argue with you, which I, I, I might do. That's awesome. Okay, Roseanne, tell us about yourself.
Um, so I have spent all my life being a mom and hardly working out in the workforce, but I am interested in learning more about AI because I really don't understand coding things that I could do.
I've got a technical, uh, person, but he's focusing on big senior engineer type problems, and there's some junior level stuff like I need to create a little service that can hash a document for somebody, and I'd prefer not to bother him with it and maybe be able to tackle some basic things like that on my own.
You could tell Replit to do that and be—
stand it much. So this is kind of exciting to see what you have been able to do with it, you know, and, um, hopefully we can use it for something beneficial. I've seen a lot of, of my kids try to start up businesses, and I think that something like this is amazing.
So, got it. I love it. Tell me, tell me, um, and I'm going to come back to you, Jenny, but I'm— Roseanne first, tell me some things that you— have you ever wanted to start a business, even if done before you're done, you know, whatever? By the way, let's go back to Replit. So right here, it sits literally like my wife. I'll give you, I'll give you some examples of my wife. My wife is amazing. I've been married to her for 13 years. She does such good things. She has a little business called Zenith Floral, so she does flower arrangements, and she has gardens that are incredible, and she actually consults, and she'll go out and help you with your garden, and she's awesome, right? But she also bakes bread, and she sells bread, and she— we have 60 chickens, and so we all stand it much. So this is kind of exciting to see what you have been able to do with it, you know, and hopefully we can always have too many eggs, and so she just sells them to people, and, and she's hates selling, she hates business, she just wants to give it away for free, but— and she loves horses. And so if I— if she were sitting right here, I was like, Xena, you need to make a business, right? Um, what idea do you have? She might be like, well, maybe I can do a business that lets people share their experiences they've had on horses and how it's changed their life. Okay, cool, that's a valid business idea, right? So there is no bad idea, right? Especially as a starting point. So With that being said, tell me some of your hobbies, Rosanna, or maybe things where you've said, oh yeah, I kind of tried to do this one time. Do you have anything like that in your currently in the past?
Honestly, I've never been very business-minded. Like, I thought my husband's a dreamer. He's always has a million ideas and I just kind of, yeah.
Right. So what are your hobbies?
I like to play pickleball. I like to read. I like to clean. I have thought of— I have actually thought of starting a cleaning business before, but—
Awesome. So you like to clean, you're good at it, you think you could do it efficiently, you could make some money on the side.
I always thought— I mean, I've always been more busy cleaning my own place.
Right. If they're gone, then you're like, hey, it's not dirty anymore. That's right. Awesome. Very good. How many kids do you have? 7. Oh my gosh, yeah, so then my statement was definitely right. That's awesome, that's awesome. Okay, well, perfect. Now I have just a little bit of information about you. I'm gonna, I'm gonna come back to it, right? But I want you to be thinking along the lines of, hey, what if I just built a landing page for people to pay me to clean their house? Amazing, right? And it manages your schedule for you, and you don't have to think about it. You just say, hey, I'm available for on these days, I'm not available on Sundays, and I don't want to work Saturdays. You know, I want to really work Mondays through Fridays, or Monday through Thursday, and I'll make myself available 10 AM to 3 PM, right? And people can sign up and pay for different things. And these are the types of things I will do and won't do. You can tell— you just talk to it and come up with an idea about how you can start a cleaning business. Service businesses, by the way, guys, this is for everybody. If you want to make money fast, like tomorrow fast, do service businesses. You know how many people need their house cleaned? Everybody. Everyone. You know how many people need their, their lawn mowed? At least you just talk to it and come up with an idea about how you can start a cleaning business. Service businesses, by the way, guys, this is for everybody. If you want to make money fast, like tomorrow fast, do service businesses. You know how many people need their house cleaned, you know, during the right season? Or how many people need their leaves cleaned up, or how many people want their dog poop cleaned up, whatever. There is money in services businesses because everybody needs it, right? Okay, awesome. Jenny, back to you. Same kind of question about like, have you ever had a business idea, or if not, hobbies? What do you, what do you care about? What do you think about when you're, you know, like, oh, that'd be cool if I could do that?
Anyway, well, I did. I mean, years ago, thought it would be fun to Because, you know, I, I had an aunt one time ask for dinner recipes, and she's like, I just don't want something that you, you've pinned on Pinterest. I want like a tried and true recipe. And I'm like, it'd be kind of fun, you know, because I like to cook and like to bake, and I'm like, to, you know, have a website or something where it's like, okay, I tried this recipe and this is what I would rate it. Like, it was easy, it was— it tasted good or it was terrible. And, you know, just something like that where it's like, yeah, I tried this and it was great. And here you go. Now you know that.
All right. So I just built like 3 businesses in my head with that, right? Couple things. Here's an easy one. It could just be Jenny'sRecipes.com. Great. And so you just share recipes that, you know, you've liked and they're good, right? Huge businesses start like that, right? Where you just say, I just want to share my stuff, and then someone finds your recipe, shares it on their blog, and all of a sudden your site traffic goes to 30,000 people. And they're like, this is amazing, what other recipes do you have? Do you have a book I can buy? Now you've got a business and you just respond to the request, right? Super, super easy. A second one is, what if it was a website, like a tool that sits on top of recipe.com or recipe sites that are out there. The only purpose of it is to review it. It then finds and pulls and scrapes. Scrape means to pull data off of a site. You probably heard a couple of people say scraping, scraping. Michael was talking about that. That means to just pull stuff off of a website, which is just going to be, in this case, recipes. It snags the link and it snags the thing and says, hey, here's a quick recipe. I tried it, not great. Okay, perfect. Now other people, hey, what did you think? Did you, have you tried this? Right? Leave your review. Right? You can build that kind of a system by just telling Replit what you want to do. Right? So very cool. Alright. We've gone through the intro section now. I want to pull, I'm gonna start pulling up a couple things. So I wanted you guys to see this. The next thing we're gonna do is we're going to do a, By the way, this was the Groq research. It took 2 minutes, 31 seconds, looked at 23 sources, right? And it says, hey, I think these are probably the best, the best things: Microsoft, Nvidia, Airbnb, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and SS&C. By the way, I, I follow the stock market pretty closely. This is a good list. I would invest in these things personally, right? You can decide what to do. Here's the detailed analysis. I could then here with Groq say, hey, here's what I would do, right? Think, right? I have $5,000 to invest. It's running apps, and it's trying to do all kinds of things. It's asking for a Stripe key. Let's hold off on the actual Stripe integration right now. Finish building the prototype. We'll do this later.
It's like you're talking to a person. It's unbelievable.
It's like I'm talking to a person. That's, that's what's brilliant. So we'll let it do that and we'll just let it kind of work in the background. Thank you, Nate. Carter, what do you want to build? If you're there and you turned off your video, maybe he had to walk away. Carter does have to leave a little bit early because he's got some, some things. He might have had to step away for a second. We'll skip over him. Michael.
There we go.
You can hear me.
Hi, my name is Michael Davis. My background's in genetics. I currently am running a company that actually engineers bacteria for agriculture, but AI is just too big of a thing that's happening right now to not get experience on. So I've been experiencing or experimenting a lot with building AI agents is what I'm really interested in right now. And, you know, when to utilize AI agents and call them with an API versus just having, you know, Replit build something, you know, like when to automate versus when to actually just have AI build is what I'm really interested in looking at right now.
Very cool. Michael also shared some cool stuff with me. I want you to share really quick what you did just like over the last week, Michael, that you were texting me about. Go ahead and just take a second. Yeah.
Yeah.
So I saw what Jon was doing. And it just looked like so much fun. So I did it myself last week. Uh, and I built out a product that for technology transfer offices, this is a good list.
I would invest in these things personally, right? You can decide what to do. Here's how should I allocate this? If I buy the detailed analysis, I could then here with Groq say, hey, here's what I would do, right? Think. Right? I have $5,000 to invest these five. And now it's going to think and it's going to, you know, hey, to allocate this, blah, blah, blah. So it's understanding, right? And you can read about all these things, you can question it, you can say, you know what? I actually really don't like ssnc. I think it's really bad. I think. I think it's over purchased, whatever, anyway. but it's probably done a lot of these things, right? It also only said, hey, upside potential is 19.3. I don't know what that means. 19.3% when? In a year? I want you to do more analysis. Back this up with more evidence, right? You can tell it to just go deeper and deeper and deeper, right? So final recommendation, 1,000 to each. Okay, great. Thanks. All right. It just divided it by 5. So that's fine. Now we're going to move away from this. Does everybody have X pulled up and Groq pulled up? Yes? No? Looks like everybody does. Carter, you got it pulled up? We're going to build something cool. The first thing we're going to do, I want all of you— now, Caleb, this might not be as magical to you because you've probably done stuff like this, or maybe you haven't. Who here has heard of p5.js? Anybody? Yeah, probably not. Okay. Yes, I get to do something that even Caleb doesn't raise his hand on. That's cool. So, p5.js is just a fun front-end library. Front-end means you can see it. It's the user interface, right? Back-end is databases and data and where the passwords are stored. And when you type in your email and password, it checks the database and says, is this the right user and this is the right password? Does this all line up? Yep. Okay, let them in. It's a frontend language that lets you build cool stuff. Here's what we're going to try. We're going to go, what's a good— actually, I don't want it to think. I want it— wait, what's a good P5.js viewer? I want you all to type that. What's a good P5.js viewer? It's going to be p5.js. That's what it's going to bring up to you. Copy this little thing here. You all do this, copy and then paste it and open that link.
I don't know if you guys know anything about those, but every university has an office, basically a little business where they license all the technology that comes out of the university and they sell those licenses to people and they're not a very well-served group of people. And so I wanted to build some technology that essentially created leads for those companies by scraping with AI all these opportunities and then scraping all of their private documents in a private database.
So you should be to p5js.org, start coding, p5js viewer, right? And it's going to be p5.js. That's what it's going to bring up to you, right? So you're going to copy this little thing here. You all do this. Copy and then paste it and open that link. So you should be to p5js.org/startcoding. Okay. So everybody tell me once you get to where you can see on my screen, right, you're at editor.p5js.org. You see this function setup thing, whatever. For some of you, this will be super easy. For some of you, it might be a little bit like, hey, you're stretching yourself a little bit. That's okay. Yeah, everybody do like Nate did, just so we'd have kind of this ready thing. He did it. He pushed the little like thumbs up button. I don't know where to do that. You go in the— teach us, teach us, Nate. Where did you push that button?
Down along the bottom, you see participants chat, react. The react looks like a heart. If you click on it, it has a bunch of little emojis.
So we have like Crying laughs, thumbs up, heart, clap, raise hand, stuff like that. Okay. So everybody tell me once you get to where you can see it.
And then matchmaking between those two databases that AI creates. And I think it's really cool. I went out.
All right. Has everybody gotten to this editor.p5js.org? I saw yes from Michael and Nate and Caleb. Jordan, you get there? Cool. Carter, you there?
No, I don't know how to get to it.
Just go look at my— look at the thing right here. If you guys, you could just use mine, editor.p5js.org. Okay, just type that into your browser. Get rid of this little cookies thing here.
And tried to sell it as well.
You tried to sell it how many days after starting working on it? 3. Okay, awesome.
Yeah, 3 days after. Jon was really encouraging. Um, I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't seen Jon do it, and I learned really invaluable information just by getting out there as soon as possible. I probably would have spent an extra 2 weeks honestly building stuff that I had heard was an issue. I would have spent an extra 2 weeks just building, but getting out there immediately after the weekend that I didn't even have like a pay system built yet. I literally just went out like, hey, it was an MVP. What do you think of this? And they told me exactly what they thought of it and I was able to pivot change what I thought was working, what I didn't think was working. And I think I'm a lot closer to signing some large clients now.
So cool. I mean, the last part that he said, the pivot after talking to clients. Brilliant, right? Jenny, how's it coming over there?
Did I mention the computer illiterate part?
Okay, just go to a browser and go to editor.js.org.
That's okay. Yeah, we're getting there.
Hey, you're good. You're good.
Okay. Yeah, we got it.
Perfect. All right. So you've got this nice little thing and you're like, I don't really know what to do here. You see a play button and a stop button. You've got a bunch of things here. All right. Who knows how— I want everyone's mute off really quick. Tell me how to— what's the quick copy? How do you copy something quick on a computer? Control+C. What if you're on a Mac? Anybody on a Mac here? I want to know that actually. Is anybody on a Mac? All right. So you guys know Command+C. I know this is basic stuff, but it's going to help you. Command+C is copy. What about paste? Control+V. Yeah, Control+V or Command+V. What about select all? Control+A. Yeah, Control or Command+A. Okay, so if I want to select all this, I can just click right here. I want you guys to do this. Everybody just click on the 1 through 7 here. These are the lines, right? Command+A, that selects everything. Delete or backspace. Now we have a clean slate. Back to Groq. Here we go, back to Groq. Great. Now I want you guys to all type this. I want you to come up with your own idea. I'm going to type this or you can copy my idea. I really am okay with this, but go back to Groq right now and say I want a p5.js Right, we're using the code language, right? p5.js, um, crazy visualization of, of, of the solar system. Make it colorful and interactive and allow me to create shooting stars by clicking. Okay, feel free to copy my prompt, come up with another idea. I had Xena, my wife, do this the other day, and again, she's into flowers, and she said, let me create like a way where I can like plant flowers by clicking on a grid. And she did. Okay, great. So just do that. That, that's all you got to do, and then push enter. Then you're going to get this crazy code, a bunch of stuff you won't understand. Most of you won't understand. Caleb's like, function setup, I know this stuff, I got this. This is just basic JavaScript. Now what I'm going to do here is I'm going to copy it. For those of you that are— I'm going to do it quickly. It even tells you how to do it, how to use it. Go to the p5.js web editor, editor.p5.js. Replace the default code with the code above, right? So the way you do that is there's a little button up here in the top right. This happens on all, on ChatGPT, on Claude, on everything. Copy. And then you're gonna jump into the editor and Command or Control V, paste it. And when you're done, you push play. Hey. What I did on the right, what I built. I built the solar system. How many planets are there in the solar system? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. That doesn't look right to me. So I'm going to go back to Grok while you guys are still doing this. Keep working at it. Okay, I'm going to say, make sure that each planet in the solar system is represented. Oh, you know what else? I wanted to try the clicking. Okay, yeah, when I click, it randomly shoots out a shooting star, but it's kind of boring. Okay, make it also make it more visually fun. I want— yeah, let's make more visually fun. I'm just going to let it figure out what that means though. I'll make the shooting star functionality more exciting. OK. So here's an updated sketch that ensures all 8 planets of our solar system are represented with accurate relative traits, size, distance ratios. I've also made it fun with wobbly planet shapes, glowing effects, and a psychedelic background. The shooting star functionality is now more exciting with randomized colors, sparkles, and a burst effect on click. Perfect. I'm going to copy this. I'm going to come in. I'm going to select all. I'm going to delete it and I'm going to paste it. I'm going to play the new one. Hey, there we go. Now I have a new solar system in front of me here. I've now written a bunch of code to create something cool. All right, Caleb, did you build something? What'd you build? Yeah, a zombie game. Nice. What is it like? Tell us. Also made it fun with wobbly planet shapes, glowing effects, and a psychedelic background. The shooting star functionality is now more exciting with randomized colors, sparkles, and a burst effect on click. Perfect. I'm going to copy this. I'm going to come in. I'm going to select all. I'm going to delete it. And I'm going to paste it. I'm going to play the new one. Hey, there we go. So now I have a new— is it cool? Do you want it here? Do this. Share your screen really quick. I want to see it. Click share and then I, you know, you should be able to do it. I think I've enabled it for everybody to be able to.
Sorry, I'm, I'm used to Microsoft Teams, but here we go.
Yeah, just along the bottom. Yeah, you're okay. You're okay. Okay. All right. So use arrow keys to move one human. Avoid solar system in front of me here. I've now written a bunch of code to create something cool. All right, Caleb, did you build something? What'd you build? The zombies. Sick. So are you controlling that with your arrow keys?
I'm trying. I don't know. I think I'm supposed to be the human in the middle, but yeah, zombie game.
Nice. What is it like? Tell us about it. Is it cool? Do you want it here? Do this. Share your screen really quick. I want to see it. Click share and then you should be able to do it. I think I've enabled it for everybody to do it.
I always get captured.
You get captured.
There we go. I'm used to Microsoft Teams, but here we go.
Just along the bottom.
I'm moving it.
You're that one. Here's what I want you to do. Go back to Grok and say, you're okay. Use arrow keys to move one human, avoid the zombies. Sick. So, are you controlling that with your arrow keys?
I'm trying. I don't know. I think I'm supposed to be the human in the middle, but I always get captured.
Oh, you get captured.
There we go.
Make my character more visually distinctive so I know where I am. Okay. All right. So go down and make sure it's done. I always like to check to make sure it's done processing. I'm moving it. You're that one. Okay. So here's what I want you to do. Go back to Grok and say, make my character more visually distinctive so I know where I am. Before I copy. Yeah, it's still— yeah, there you go, there you go. Keep going. And cool. All right, now it's, now it's done. So copy. Now it's just explaining it to you. Take it over, select all, paste, play. Boom. Now you know. Okay. Oh, so yeah, try again. Okay. Alright, so go down and make sure it's done. I always like to check to make sure it's done processing before I copy. Yeah, it's still— yeah, there you go. There you go. Keep going. Yeah, it's so cool. Avoid the zombies. Alright, it's gonna try to get another one. It's gonna turn that blue one into a zombie. Now you've got 2 zombies. Yeah, now you're dead. That's cool. You made a cool game. Alright, stop sharing. Perfect. Amazing. Who else wants to share? Nate, what do you got?
I just did the same thing as you, just trying to focus more on learning it rather than other ideas.
That's fine. Did you— did you— did it— I want you to— I want you to come up with it, right?
Yeah, so I'm gonna share my screen here.
I want everyone to learn how to share their screen. That's why we're doing this as well, because we want to kind of go back and forth and show things. Okay, and then, yeah, see, You just click like share entire screen.
Are you seeing it?
Not yet. Not yet.
Oh, I thought I have it on share entire screen. Oh, there we go.
Sorry. That's okay. There it is. Yep. Now we're in. Nice. Yeah, yours is cooler than mine. Let me see your prompt. I want to go back to your prompt.
Okay.
I want to see what you said.
Make each planet in our solar— make sure each planet in our solar system is represented. Also make sure it is more visually fun. Make, make the shooting star functionality more exciting. Almost identical to yours.
It is, but it's cool because obviously AI is going to think of— how much money did you spend developing that prototype, Michael? $100. Perfect. Amazing, amazing. I spent a million dollars building my first prototype of Seek. And that's not completely true. That's not completely true. I spent about $60,000 with the very, like, I would call it pre-MVP. And I actually managed to go and sell $30,000 of it before I went beyond that. Then I spent $1 million to build it up to like a nice, beautiful, big version. Then we ended up scrapping that and starting over. So obviously that's not efficient, right? You and I both, within less than a week, We're able to go and get real feedback from customers spending way less than $1,000, less than $500. And, and we saved ourselves huge amounts of headache of trying to raise money to do this and pay huge amounts of money, right? Unbelievable what's possible when you, when you take that approach of quick feedback from the market. That's going to be very, very critical in some of our discussions. All right. Thanks, Michael, for that. Jordan, go ahead.
Uh, all right, my name is Jordan Bowles. I met Jon a few months ago and, uh, had reached out to him about helping me build an app that I had currently spent 18 months building and kind of got scammed for a little over $100,000. And they just were never able to build me the product that I wanted. And so Jon, uh, and one of his other partners was going to help me build, rebuild it, and, uh Then we kind of decided to pivot and try something different. And he introduced me to Replit and thought he could help me build something that, that would be a lot more, a lot cheaper and more efficient, just to get started, just to go test it, just to go get some feedback on it. And then me and him have been working on that for a few months now. And he finally just said, hey, let me help you. Let me help you learn how to build this yourself. You know, I'm happy to keep doing it for you. But let me teach you how to fish.. And so, like I said, this has been almost 2 years now that I've been working on this, this app, and it's a product that I'm super passionate about and want to get it out there sooner than later.
So give us a 30-second elevator pitch on the product.
All right. The product is a mindset app that teaches people to be proactive with their mindset rather than reactive. Most people these days, you go through something difficult or hard or have a traumatizing experience and it's reactive. It's, oh man, now I need to go to therapy or not hating on therapy at all, but "now I need to go do this or see this or doctor or whatever." And the app is there to help you build up that wall, that strength. Kind of, I refer to it as your mind is a garden to kind of feed that garden and build that garden beforehand so that when you come across those things in life, you are just kind of ready to go. So, and ready to ride the roller coaster. So, yeah, my background is kind of coaching, high school coaching and club coaching volleyball. I've seen for many, many years a need for athletes and helping them, helping them teach or teach them how to be better with their mindset in sports. And so, and then I thought, you know, I think that's for everybody these days, especially after the last few years. So yeah, that's a little bit about me.
I love it. Yeah. So Jordan, Jordan shared the story, right? He, he— I wouldn't even call it got scammed. He just got drawn into the old way. That's expensive and inefficient, right? Where really what was happening was this company, we don't have to bash them, so we won't say their name, but it was a software company that was then outsourced a little bit differently every time. Even one word difference, even the same words are going to produce different results. You can also say like, try again, but that's really cool. I love what you've got there. See, that's really fun.
I think that's a cool and all the planets go like woo woo kind of a thing.
Yeah, yeah, they're kind of going in and out. Yeah, so while I'm looking at other people's ideas, I want you to go back into Grok and say like, make sure moons are represented, right? With planets that have too many moons, you know, figure out a solution for that. You don't even have to give it the solution, right? Or, you know, and say, hey, make it more, I don't know, whatever. Make the background spinning, right? Make the background spinning slowly, the stars spinning in the background. Play with it, make it more exciting. All right, who wants to go next? Michael, what about you?
Yeah, let me share my screen. I decided I'm going to change it because I didn't like it that much.
That's okay.
Oh, sorry. Basically, I made it a visualization that peaches falling from the sky, and then they turn into cans of peaches once they hit a conveyor belt.
Let's see it. Yeah, so you're not sharing. You might— you started, it looked like you were starting sharing and then you canceled it, but I don't know why it keeps kicking you out. I'm not sure why. Figure out why you can't share screens, then I want to come back. I want to see your peaches. Peach Escape. Uh, Carter, did you build something cool?
Um, I am still working on mine actually. I'm still trying to figure out how to get everything working.
That's fine, you keep working at it, bud.
Jordan, what about you? Okay, I just— let's see, so let me—
is that still working on mine actually? I'm still trying to figure out how to get everything working.
That's fine. You keep working at it, bud.
Jordan, what about you?
Okay.
I just— let's see.
So let me—
does that, does that work? Seeing that now. Okay.
What'd you build?
Hey, you built your app, right?
I wanna, I wanna build the planner version of my app kind of the way I want it, right? And so just figured I'd start there. So put that piece in there.
And if you click on something, does it work? Good question. Yep. Nice. Type in something. I want to see what happens when you type in a folder. You can just type whatever. ASDF doesn't matter. Pages. Now new note. Maybe open that. Can you double-click on it or maybe click new note after you click on it and then just say, I love these or I don't know, whatever. I love food. Cool. Now, can you drag that and move it around? No. Okay. So now what I want you to do is go back into Grok and say, hey, make it so that I can move, you know, when, when we create a new object, a new folder or a new note, I wanna be able to drag them around and or change the organization. Right? Okay. So try that. Go ahead and stop sharing. Okay. And then, Jenny, we're gonna jump over to you. Where is stop sharing? It's just at the bottom.
Let's see here. So we actually did it on a different computer.
That's okay.
So we can't really share the screen.
Tell us about it.
Did you make something work? Yeah, well, we just copied yours.
That's fine. Do you have— I mean, did you make—
Solar systems?
Yeah. Okay, so very cool. Has everybody got— Carter hasn't gone yet. Carter, you figured out yet, or are you still working on it? I am still working. Where are you stuck? I want, I want to know where you're stuck because it's still helpful for everybody to learn what's not working.
Um, so I have a game almost like, um, Whoever made this zombie game, but it's like creatures that are in the shape of an oval with like a blocky end and a— or triangle— and that are trying to chase you, but it keeps getting it like it's a square on one side and then a triangle on the other side with an oval just straight in the middle of it.
Are you telling that to Grok? Are you saying, hey, this is what's not working, please fix it?
No, I haven't yet.
Do that. Do that. So go ahead and go on mute again and keep working at it. That's awesome. So guys, the point is here, I know that Caleb's a developer, but the rest of us here are not. I don't know how to do what we just did without AI. I have no idea how to build that. I don't even know how it works. Honestly, I could spend time if I wanted to go in and be like, okay, please explain to me why each line does what it does. If I wanted to do that, I could start to understand all this code. I'm going to go back into my desktop here, right? I could understand, hey, when you wrote this add sparkle stuff, right? What does this mean? If random is greater than 0.8. Okay. Right. So how does this work? So this is my cool version now, right? That's neat. But what does this mean? Explain it to me. If you're curious, a curious learner, you can take the time to do that., or you can just say, okay, great. Right now, maybe you're like, man, I really love this. I think this is really cool. I could use this in my business website. Well, do you need to know how to use it in your business website? No, you don't. Watch this. I'm going to copy this and I'm going to go back to Replit and I'm going to say, please integrate the following p5.js code onto my testimonials Page. Awesome. All I did was copy and paste. I copied the code from here. I came into here, pasted it. It, you know, this is, this is that. And now it's considering options. It's going to figure out how to deal with this P5. Oh, hey, we don't have the P5.js library installed onto your website. Let me do that really quick. Now it installs a library. A library is basically, it's installing the infrastructure it needs to be able to run that kind of code on your site, right? And then it's probably gonna be like, hey, I don't even know if I've built the testimonials page. It's gonna build that and then it's gonna put that on there. It's gonna be like, I don't really understand why I'm doing this. So it might be a little confused because it's trying to build me a website that is, you know, focused on, you know, our course that we're doing. But maybe I can use that and say, hey, you know, the reason for this is because I want to show how easy it is to build something. So show the code, show what I did, whatever. Anyway, so that is your first— good job, everybody. You all just built your first, you know, code. For me, that's fun, right? Being able to use AI and build something that all of a sudden works. Um, Nate, you have a question? It—
yeah, um, I, I was actually just gonna say I've project managed developers before and this is easier than standup calls. I'm— my mind is blown.
I—
that's all I wanted to say.
Talk about that a little bit more. Why is it easier than a standup call, you know, when you're managing the developer, right?
Well, I mean, like, what a standup call is when it— because normally there's a specialized skill for somebody who understands how to manage developers to get them to develop the specific outcome that the client wants. And out of necessity, and because I'm a scrappy entrepreneur, I did that role to save myself some money. And, uh, the, the level of detail that you have to give to a developer, because they're a customer—
um, Nick, you have a question?
Yeah, I was actually just going to say I've project managed developers before and this is easier than standup calls.
I'm—
my mind is blown.
I—
that's all I wanted to say.
Talk about that a little bit more. Why is it easier than a standup call?
Listen to, to having what they do very tightly controlled. It's like, do this version of red, not that version of red. It's it's a super micromanaged space because otherwise sometimes if, if you have a really good developer, they will be curious and they'll sometimes go off on a tangent and they could waste weeks doing something that is a technological curiosity but won't give you the outcome that you need as a business. And so they're, they're accustomed to being extremely micromanaged.
And if you ask their advice, it, you know, when you're managing developer, right?
Well, I mean, like, what a standup call is when it because normally there's a specialized skill for somebody who understands. In a lot of cases, they won't give it because they're like, I'm just going to do whatever you want. And it's like, well, no, how to manage developers to get them to develop the specific outcome that the client wants. And out of necessity and because I'm— tell me if I'm suggesting the right thing, right? And so just watching what you can tell Replit or ask Grok in just plain language. It is stunning to me how it can actually figure out all the code without like getting into more detail than that.
I'm—
you're using a plain language statement. My, my— this is already much better than I was hoping it would be, honestly. And I don't know if I'm talking too much. I don't want to scrap the entrepreneur.
I did that role to save myself some money and all of their work to India and Bangladesh and Ukraine or wherever the heck they were finding their developers. And so they're paying those developers in India, you know, $20 an hour. They're charging Jordan $60 an hour or $80 an hour or $120 an hour. And they're pocketing everything while someone else is doing crappy work. Right? And it happens all the time. There are 1,000 agencies in the US alone that do this. I bet there's 10,000 agencies, right? It's a business model that's worked, right? But the reality is it's not the best way to do it. And now that you can have agent— I mean, You guys are watching me as— I don't know if you're watching my screen and I've typed a couple of requests and said, hey, just clean it up a little bit. We've got some conflicting colors here and we need to work on this and make it look a little bit better. See this color, this Learn More, sometimes it just does weird things and it doesn't know. But you can actually screenshot things and say, hey, the Learn More button is unreadable. Because it's using white text on a white button. Please fix this and look for other cases in the app where this might be happening. Please double-check for CSS conflicting messages in the code. All right, so So anyway, we're just kind of building, we're understanding. I want to finish up here with Jenny and Rosanne. We'll do that one at a time, and you don't have to go into anything. And Rosanne, I see you smiling, you're nervous about it. We're gonna go, we're gonna, we're gonna work with you as well, and I'm gonna have some one-on-one time with everybody. Um, although some of the one-on-one time, most of it will actually be in front of everybody, but it's going to be just very, very basic stuff, and I'm just going to help you. I'm going to help you work through this, understanding how to do these these things. It's really fun. Um, all right, Jenny, you've, uh, you first.
Go ahead. Um, I'm Jenny Bowles.
Um, I got roped into this because I'm Jordan's favorite sister, and I'm gonna take up too much time because my mind is blown already.
This is unbelievable. Yeah, and, and by the way, you have to think of your agent as an employee that can get lost as well. Right?
And so sometimes when I'm watching it, I'll say, by the way, uh, the, the level of detail that you have to give to a developer because they're accustomed to, to having what they do very tightly controlled. It's like, do this version of red, not that version of red.
It's, it's a super micromanaged— check this, let's click on it. Testimonials. Look at this, look at this background, look how cool that is. I'm totally keeping this. Can you guys all see my site? I have this cool interactive P5.js background on the testimonials page. It assumed— oh no, it's down here. It's not even a testimonials page, it's just a section of my homepage. But look how cool that is. Now I'm on my website and people are going to come down and be like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. Click anywhere in the space animation to create shooting stars. Now I can add another little thing here.
That says, by the way, space, because otherwise sometimes if, if you have a really good developer, they will be curious and they'll sometimes go off on a tangent and they could waste weeks doing this.
Little background was built with AI in seconds. Here's how you could do it, right? I think that's so fun. I want to try this on mobile. I want to see what— in fact, I want to see what it looks like on mobile. I'm going to do this really quick. I can just click here. We're going to go down.
Something that is a technological curiosity, but won't give you the outcome that you need as a business. And so they're accustomed to being extremely micromanaged. And if you ask their advice—
my cool little p5.js. I'm a developer. I made something cool. What happens if I click over this? Oh, it doesn't even get in the way. That overlay doesn't get in the way of it. That is amazing. So cool. I didn't even give it instructions. I just said, yeah, just put it here in this section. It just figured I'm going to do this. We're going to teach you guys now. We're going to take a little bit of break from coding for a second and we're going to teach you just a little bit of language around coding.
It's not a lot.
I just finished. You got it working? Can you share your screen and show us really quick, Carter? We'd love to see it. Let me click stop. We'd love to see what you built. I'm just trying to figure out how to do that. Right at the bottom of your screen, you just click share.
In a lot of cases they won't give it because they're like, I'm just going to do whatever you want.
It's like, well, no, you see that here? Yeah, on Zoom. Okay, I'm going to Zoom and then click share. Yes, Carter had started screen sharing. Amazing. Game over, you were eaten. Press R to restart. All right, let's see, let's see you play the game.
So I have created like a dinosaur game where—
oh, tell me if I'm, if I'm suggesting the right thing, right?
And so just watching what you can tell Rep You have 3 different dinosaurs chasing after you and you're just trying not to get eaten. And if you get tagged, it has a game over sign at the end so you can just restart and keep playing whenever you want.
All right, who here has young kids?
Anybody? Anybody else? Or ask Grok in just plain language. It is stunning to me how it can actually figure out all the code without like getting into more detail than that.
Yeah, wouldn't you much rather— wouldn't you be happy to have your kids playing games if they built them? Just like open their mind and expand their mind instead of just sitting there building something else. They have to work through this code and this problem solving, and great, you built this fun little game. That's cool. Now Carter, you could, you could log in, or if you see in the top right, you can log in or sign up. Don't click it, right? But in the top of your screen right there, it says log in or sign up. You can actually sign up and you can save your projects. So you can say, hey, I actually like this one. I'm going to save it, come back to it later. Now I'm going to try something else. Back to Grok. Let's go with something, right? So cool. Carter's looking up Harry Potter spell lists over here.
I want— you're using a plain language statement.
My, my, this is already— that's amazing. He's using his imagination to create something cool. All right, go ahead and stop sharing your screen. I love it. Proof that a 12-year-old— what are you, 12, Carter?
13 this year?
Yeah, a 12-year-old can do this as well. And quite frankly, my daughter was in here. She's 10. She's 10 or she's 11? She's 11 this month, right? Yeah, she's 11 this month, in like a week.
Much better than I was hoping it would be, honestly. And I don't know if I'm talking too much. I don't want to take up too much time because my mind is blown already.
This is unbelievable. Yeah. And by the way, you have to think of your age. Anyway, she is— she built a little matching game using, using AI, using ChatGPT. She went back and forth and she actually built it on, I think, just on JavaScript. And she pulled up a JavaScript thing and ChatGPT told her where to go and, all right, copy this, paste here and this, paste here and change this logic on this and okay, make it. Because like you were talking about, Nate, You're just using natural language. It deciphers and understands what you mean, or it thinks you mean. Now, that can be dangerous sometimes, but the bottom line is it enables anybody to be able to do what you want. And as an employee, that can get lost as well, right? And so sometimes when I'm watching it— I'll say, by the way, occasionally I'll be inside Replit here and I'm watching it, and it's like, okay, I'm going to now build a testing environment where I can test this thing, and it just like starts building some huge system. I'm like, I didn't ask you to do that. Pause. And I'll ask it, I'll say, do you think it's important to build this test environment or is there another easier way you can do that? Oh, you're right, I shouldn't do that, right? So it can actually like go off on its own tangent. But the cool thing is here we have spent a grand total of $1.75 paying this employee working at this. Now Replit, the way that Replit works, um, we'll take a second to just kind of go over this. The way that, um, Replit works is based on usage, right? And there's a lot of different things Replit can do everything for you. It can handle the front end and the back end and the databases. And we're going to talk about what all that means. And, you know, I've spent $221 this month in this, but I'm building like hardcore things and using it a lot. If you pay for Replit, you pay $25 and that basically gives you $25 of credit. If you pay for an annual license, it's only $180. And so that means you pay $15 for your first $25 every month, right? So you pay $180 today and you'll get $25 of credit every single month for the next 12 months. That credit can be used towards development, right? Which is what we're doing right here. Every time we get— check this, let's click on it. Testimonials. Look at this. Look at this background. Look how cool that is. I'm totally keeping this. Can you guys all see my site? I have this cool interactive P5.js back to a rollback checkpoint right here. It costs $0.25. Okay, there's a cheaper version where you can get into what's assistant, right? Where you can say, hey, tell me, or, uh, please look at the P5 background on the testimonials page. So it assumed— oh no, it's down here. Oh, it's not even a testimonials page. It's just a section of my homepage. But look at JS implementation and tell me if there's anything we can do to improve it so that it doesn't slow down. How cool that is. Now I'm on my website and people are going to come down and be like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. Down the site. Now here's, I'm going to add something here. If it is already well implemented, you can say that as well. Now the difference with the agent, which is what we've been using here, and the assistant is the agent is just going to get to click anywhere in the space animation to create shooting stars. Now I could add another little thing here that says, by the way, work unless you tell it explicitly not to. The assistant is going to listen, it's going to look, and then it's going to talk to you, and then it's going to suggest an improvement. This little background was built with AI in seconds. Here's how you could do it, right? I think that's so fun. I want to try this on mobile. I want to see what— in fact, I want to see what it looks like if there is one and say, I think you could do this to improve it. Would you like to do that? Yes. Go. But for every, you know, commit that it's doing over here, it's only 5 cents. So an assistant could be used to change something like, hey, I want you to rewrite all the language on this thing. And it could still be a pretty significant thing, rewrite the whole, you know, homepage. But it's much, much cheaper to use the assistant sometimes. I have found that the agent is so smart these days. I'm not going to the assistant as much. I used to go to the assistant to do small changes, but the assistant can get lost sometimes. The agent now just thinks so many things. We're going to talk about how in mobile. I'm going to do this really quick. I can just click here. We're going to go down. Who does that? Second. So it says here, it says, hey, there's a few optimizations we can make to improve performance. Key optimizations made: pre-calculated orbit paths instead of drawing them every frame. Cool. Reduced unnecessary— my cool little p5.js, I'm a developer, I made something cool. What happens? Necessary stroke, no stroke calls, simplified planet rendering by removing the wobbly effect, added bounds, checking for mouse events, cached common calculations. Remember, click over this— oh, it doesn't even get in the way, that overlay doesn't get in the way of it.
That is amazing. Um, with his, his app, he thought it would be beneficial to have more people knowing how to do this so that we can hopefully better get it going.
And yeah, so, you know, so that's his dream. What's your dream? Tell me about you.
Tell me about Jenny.
Me?
I, I don't know. I'm generally computer illiterate, So hopefully, you know, this— yeah, this is, you know, good, good enough for, for someone who, you know, I like being able to speak in commands and it knows what I want.
So yeah, that's so cool. I didn't even give it instructions. I just said, yeah, just put it here in the move, redundant shape creation, optimize shooting star rendering. You're like, I don't really know. I'm going to trust that it's pretty good. Let's try it. Now here's the cool thing. We're going to apply all. Applying changes. And so what it did is it added 28 lines and it took away 34 lines. I can actually click on it to see what those changes were. Now if I'm a developer like Caleb, I might be like, okay, this is cool. All right, what's it doing here? Okay, it's removing that. Okay, these are just notes. Okay, why did it change that? The section. And it just kind of figured, you know, I'm going to do this. All right, We're going to teach you guys now. We're going to take it. We're going to take a look. That's a lot. Great. Perfect.
Whatever.
Now you know you can close that out. You can look at the console, you can leave this progress. Now here's something that happened, but a break from coding for a second. We're going to teach you just a little bit of language around coding. I'm going to backfill all this, but I'm just going to do this and I'm going to talk about it as I do it. Whenever I see an error like this come up, I just take a quick screenshot. When I drag it into the chat here and I say the attached error happened. Sometimes the assistant will break something because it doesn't look at it as in-depth as the—
Hey, it's not a lot.
I have just finished. You got it working? Can you share your screen and show us really quick, Carter? We'd love to see it. Let me click stop. We'd love to see what you built. I'm just trying to figure out how to do that. Yeah, agent, this is why I don't use the assistant as much anymore. But it still can do some things, but it's saying, hey, I could still do— it should have done this. Let's fix this by using the p5.js instance properly. It's going to apply. Now, sometimes when I see a +9, -9, I just check it to see if it's doing the exact same thing. Right at the bottom of your screen, you just click Share. Update and draw planets. Oh yeah, it did change some things. Okay, apply all. Perfect. Now, okay, now we can come back and here it is. So it made it more efficient. I can still click on it, right? If I click up here, it's not going to work. If I click down here, it's not going to work. If I click here— so it added some bounds to it. I don't know if it was messed up before, but hey, we've now got a new system that's, that's more efficient. It's not going to take up as much memory. And we've got a functioning piece of my website here that I think is pretty cool, and I'm actually super excited about it. Okay. You see that? Share? Yeah, on Zoom. Okay. Yeah, go into Zoom and then click share. Yes. Carter had started. Now, yeah, we haven't jumped into any of this stuff yet. We're going to do it. We're gonna do it. We're gonna get in there soon. All right. Started screen sharing.
Amazing.
Game over. You were eating. Press R to restart. All right, let's see. Let's see you play the game.
So I have created like a dinosaur game where now we're going to take—
by the way, if you guys ever need to take a break, you need to get some water, you need to go to the bathroom, like just turn off your camera really quick, take off. You can say in the chat, hey, be right back, right? And come back, right? I am recording this. I will be able to send it all to you. I will send it all to you at the end. So you'll be able to be like, oh, I missed that section. In there, or, you know, I really had to go to bed. Don't like kill yourself and just step away for a minute. Come back. We'll keep going. All right. What we're going to do right now— we're here to grind.
There's no— you have 3 different dinosaurs chasing after you and you're just trying not to get eaten.
Breaks. You can grind too. That's my style. By the way, I have snacks here. This is, I don't know, a Snickers peanut butter crunchy thing. I don't know. It's probably not healthy, but it's going to keep me going. I've got some jerky over here. You will see me eating while you guys are talking sometimes. Eating is encouraged in this course. Eating and drinking, as long as, you know, you're not drunk drinking. That's— we'll avoid that for this class at least. So you can be focused. We want a sharp mind. All right. And I don't know if anybody on here is doing—
and if you get tagged, it has a game over sign at the end, so you can just restart anyway.
So I'm going to jump in here and we're going to go into here. So we've got this kind of build a business in a weekend folder that I'm going to share with you guys. I'll put it together in a nice way. In fact, I might actually upload a lot of it into a users section where you guys will all have been like paid users. You've already got access to the course. I might actually build that over the next 3 days and upload all of the content from these into those sections so that you guys have— start key playing whenever you want. All right, who here has young kids? Anybody? Anybody else? Yeah. Wouldn't you much rather— wouldn't you be happy to have your keysy access? You just log in the username and password and you have access to the Build a Business in a Weekend stuff. But, um, what I want to do here is we're going to take just a moment and we're going to do— we're going to go through the coding quick start guide for Replit users. I want you guys to just know what a few terms are. These are very easy. For Caleb, he's going to be like, oh my God, I'm so bored. And that's fine. And I'm not even going to read through all of this. We're going to quickly just hit some highlights so that you know how to talk to Replit because you're going to need to be able to talk to Replit. By the way, kids playing games, if they built them, just like open their mind and expand their mind instead of just sitting there building something else. They have to work through this code and this problem. I didn't write this. ChatGPT wrote this, right? It wrote it in solving and great. You built this fun little game. That's cool. Now, Carter, you could— doesn't even argue with you and that's nice. Yeah. Unless you ask it to argue with you, which I might. That's awesome.
Okay, Roseanne, tell us about yourself. So I have spent all my life being a mom and hardly working out in the workforce, but I am interested in learning more about AI because I really don't understand it much. So this is kind of exciting to see what you have been able to do with it. You know, and hopefully we can use it for something beneficial. I've seen a lot of, of my kids try to start up businesses, and I think that something like this is amazing.
So, got it. I love it. Tell me, tell me, and I'm going to come back to you, Jenny, but Roseanne first, tell me some things that you— have you ever wanted to start a business, even if it's literally like my wife? I'll give you, I'll give you some examples of my wife. My wife is amazing. I've been married to her for 13 years. She does such good things. She has a little business called Zenith Floral. So she does flower arrangements and she has gardens that are incredible. And she actually consults and she'll go out and help you with your garden. And she's awesome, right? But she also bakes bread and she sells bread. And she— we have 60 chickens. And so we always have too many eggs. And so she just sells them to people. And she hates selling. She hates business. She just wants to give it away for free. But, and she loves horses. And so if I, if she were sitting right here, I was like, Xena, you need to make a business, right? Um, what idea do you have? She might be like, well, maybe I can do a business that lets people share their experiences they've had on horses and how it's changed their life. Okay, cool. That's a valid business idea, right? So there is no bad idea, right? Especially as a starting point. So with that being said, tell me some of your hobbies, Rosanna, or maybe things where you've said, oh yeah, I kind of tried to do this one time. Do you have anything like that in your—
currently in the past? Honestly, I've never been very business-minded. Like, I thought my husband's a dreamer. He's always has a million ideas, and I just kind of—
yeah, right.
So what are your hobbies? I like to play pickleball. I like to read. I like to clean. I have thought of— I have actually thought of starting a cleaning business before, but awesome.
So you like to clean, you're good at it, you think you could do it efficiently and you could make some money on the side?
I always thought— I mean, I've always been more busy cleaning my own place than anything else.
Kids are gone, then you're like, hey, it's not dirty anymore. That's right. Awesome, very good. How many kids do you have?
7.
Oh my gosh, yeah, so then my statement was definitely right. That's awesome, that's awesome. Okay, well, perfect. Now I have just a little bit of information about you. I'm gonna, I'm gonna come back to to it, right? But I want you to be thinking along the lines of, hey, what if I just built a landing page for people to pay me to clean their house? Amazing, right? And it manages your schedule for you, and you don't even have to think about it. You just say, hey, I'm available for on these days, I'm not available on Sundays, and I don't want to work Saturdays, you know, I want to really work Mondays through Friday or Monday through Thursday, and I'll make myself available 10 AM to 3 PM, right? And people can sign up and pay for different things, and these are the types of things I will do and won't do. You can tell, you just talk to it and come up with an idea about how you can start a cleaning business. Service businesses, by the way, guys, this is for everybody. If you want to make money fast, like tomorrow fast, do service businesses. You know how many people need their house cleaned? We're here in the project that I've been working on where it understands, okay, this is all about, you know, building, building out, you know, these different elements and here's all the different things. Here's, here's the project. Hey, I'm going to be I'm going to be talking about this course and here's what I'm going to be doing, right? Please help me build some documents for this. I just had it listen to me and then it regurgitated the important stuff in a nice organized manner. I want to demonstrate this really quickly. We're going to go to ChatGPT here and we're going to do just a new thing. Hi everybody. Everyone, you know how many people need their, their lawn mowed? At least I'm gonna turn on voice here. So voice just means, so here I can click this button and then I can just start talking to ChatGPT and we'll just have a conversation. Voice is just going to literally transcribe what I say. Hello, hello, hello. Check. Describe what I say. Hello, hello, hello. Right? It's just gonna listen to what I say. So watch this. You can do this on your Notes app too. But let's say that I have, this is, this is, we're getting into some general, we're gonna get back to the coding stuff, but I want you guys to understand how I built that document so you can just understand how incredibly easy it is to be so effective in whatever you're doing for your work. Okay? I live on a farm. You could log in or if you see in the top right, you can log in or sign up. Don't click it, right? But in the top of your screen right there, it says log in or sign up. You can actually sign up and you can save your projects. So you can say, hey, I actually like this one, I'm going to save it, come back to it later. Now I'm going to try something else. Back to Grok. Let's go something, go with something, right? So cool. Look, Carter's looking up Harry Potter spell lists over here. I want— and occasionally I have to go on vacation. Maybe I can have, you know, you guys can come down and take care of— we got tons of chickens and we've got, you know, we've got a horse. And then sometimes, you know, we need people to help us when we want to leave for a few days and Sometimes people like to come and stay at the farm. So I'm going to create right now in front of you guys a quick guide using AI on how to take care of the farm. And here's how I'm going to do it. Okay, so I live on a farm. It's 5 acres and we have 60 chickens. Right next to the road is the house. And then, you know, the property kind of slopes down and the chicken coop is at the far end of the property. It's really easy to open it. You just kind of turn a handle and you can get into the chicken coop. You can also go— That's amazing. He's using his imagination to create something cool. All right, go ahead and stop sharing your screen. I'm on the right side of it and open it up and you can see all the eggs. And, you know, we usually get somewhere between— I love it. Proof that a 12-year-old— what are you, 12, Carter? 13 this year? A 12-year-old can do this as well. And quite frankly, my daughter was in here, she's 10. 30 to 60 eggs a day. And so you want to check on that or they'll just pile up into big piles. And we also have some goats over in the goat house and they need to be fed. And she 10 or she 11? No, she's 11 this month, right? Yeah, she's 11 this month in like a week. And we have a horse that actually is at another property that's just a couple blocks away. You just go down the street and head left, and I'll make sure I provide the address for you later. But you just go in there and just make sure that they get some hay and some water. Super easy. Don't have to do anything beyond that. You just throw the hay over the fence and you'll be set there. There's a couple things to worry about when you're here. Like, obviously you want to make sure you have my, you know, my password. And my password is admin for my network and my, um, you know, so if you want to be able to get on the Wi-Fi, you can do that. My garage is having some problems right now where when it closes, it kind of clips something, and so it thinks that it's running into something and it stops. And so in order to close it, you just have to hold the button down and just make sure it goes all the way down until it's done. So just remember that. If you have an electric vehicle, you can just plug into mine there. There's no big deal. Feel free to, you know, park there. You can park in the driveway, uh, either in front, or you can go park down kind of below in the farm and kind of hide your car away from the, from the road if you're worried about someone coming and stealing from it. Um, there's a cat that is amazing at breaking into the house, and so in order to stop that, you have to close the screen door, um, and you have to make sure that a couple doors are locked downstairs. The, the basement door in the storage room needs to be locked, and the garage door needs to be locked down in the basement as well. And if you do that, the cat won't be able to break in. She's super nice. Her name's Elsie. If you get some tuna or something and put it out, she'll come and she'll love you and she's super nice. She's a little bit skittish, but don't worry about it. Anyway, she is— she built a little matching game using AI, using ChatGPT. She went back and forth and she actually built it on, I think, just on JavaScript and she pulled up a JavaScript thing and ChatGPT told her where to go and All right, copy this, paste here and this, paste here and change this logic on this and okay, make it. Because like you were talking about, Nate, you're just using natural language. It— there's solar power and there's also some irrigation. And during the summer, you need to make sure that you are checking the irrigation filter. And you do that by just turning off the— ciphers and understands what you mean or it thinks you mean. Now, that can be dangerous sometimes, but The bottom line is that it enables anybody to be able to do what you want. Water, unscrewing the filter, taking it out, and then putting it back. You know, you go wash it out and it's just kind of obvious, like just kind of clean it out and then put it back on and turn the water back on and you're done. Okay, so that's really all I need you to know. And yeah, I'm— thanks for, thanks for helping out. Okay, so that took 2 and a half minutes. I was not careful about how I organized my thoughts. It was kind of random, right? And it's going to, you know, so here's all of the words, right? So now I'm going to, I'm pushing Shift+Enter so I don't actually give it to it. Shift+Enter just lets me do that. If I push Enter, it's just going to send it and say, you know, here's this. All right, here is a description of things that need to be done when taking care of our farm. Please put it in a simple-to-read guide that is coherent. Don't change any facts, just organize it nicely so that I can leave it with my friends that are watching. Whoops, I'm not— I'm gonna— the farm for me. I'm going to leave the misspelling. Boom, done. So imagine you're doing something at work, or you have to leave something, you're going on vacation, you need something taken care of. And yeah, you can put together a detailed guide, or you can just talk for 2 and a half minutes and let ChatGPT nail it. It's done. The guide is finished. Okay, here's the farm care guide. The farm is 5 acres, house near the road, property slips down, goat house also on the property, or horse kept on another property. I'll provide the address, right? So obviously I could update that. I was doing it for a demo purpose right now. Feed the goats daily. Egg, horse feeding, things to be aware of, garage door issue, Wi-Fi access, electrical vehicle charging, the cat, Elsie, loves bringing into the house, irrigation, solar, do this, final notes, enjoy, right? And then I can come in and I can say, okay, you know, I forgot to mention that the goats need water and so do The chickens, make sure they are fed and watered daily, along with the horse. So now it's going back into the guide that it just created, and it's updating it. Because I forgot those things. And it's created a nice, beautiful document. Done. I've updated the guide. Great. Now I can copy it. Now they have a weird bug right now where it says failed to clip to copy board, or yeah, if you click it again, it works. I don't know why. Um, but now I can go back into Google here and I can say, all right, I need a new document. And I'm just in Google Docs. This is free and on Gmail. And I just paste it in here. I click right here on the top document. Occasionally I'll be inside Replit here and I'm watching it and it's like, okay, I'm going to now build a testing environment where I can test this thing. And it just like starts building some huge system. I didn't ask you to do that. Pause. And I'll ask it, I'll say, do you think it's important to build this test environment or is there another easier way you can do that? Oh, you're right. I shouldn't do that. Right. So it can actually like go off on its own tangent. But from care guide, boom. And it built this beautiful documents tab, everything. Done. How cool is that, guys? Like 3 minutes and you have a perfect guide, and you can obviously update on your own. You can type your own things in, you can make it super interactive. Heck, you could build a p5.js app with Groq that teaches all this stuff. You now know how to do that. You go into Groq, you find some cool visualization, make it pretty. You could make a quick website. Hey, I just need a quick website Replit that has the, you know, farm care guide, and I can send a link over. Cool. Now, by the way, if I want to make it, maybe I'm like, hey, I think this website is ready for at least some testing. I can come over here into deployments and I can set up my deployment. It's going to have automatic machine power and approve and it's auto scaling and all these things. It's amazing. You don't have to deal with AWS and server stuff that we'll talk about later on. I need you to know all that stuff. But now I can just say, okay, we're good. Let's deploy this. Done. Now it's provisioning it, building it, bundling it, promoting it. Now I can send you the link. The cool thing is here, we have spent a grand total of $1.75 paying this, and you guys would be able to play with my new app that I just built. Now it's going to use just a random string of something, something, something.this.app.replit.app. I can put you know, johnsfarminstructions.com. If I go buy that domain, I can connect it in here. I can— we'll show you how to do that later. But employee working at this now, Replit, the way that Replit works, we'll take a second to just kind of go over this the way for now. I can quickly get an MVP in front of anybody immediately. Hey, try it out. What do you think? Any questions? Oh, great. Oh yeah, we need to change that. Replit, do this. ChatGPT, update the content. Paste it into Replit. Boom, go, right? So you can see as you start to put the way that, um, Replit works is based on usage, right? And there's a lot of different things. These little pieces together, you can build tools in minutes, right? You can build a fully functioning tool that does something in minutes. A game, an instruction manual, uh, whatever the heck you need. AI can take things that Previously, it would have taken me, you know, I don't know, 20 minutes to sit down and just kind of write down all the things I need to do to take care of the farm. Or maybe I get on a phone call. Let me tell you everything, right? But now, guide done. Next task. Let's go. Right? Super, super efficient. Any questions or comments from the gallery?
Just wow.
Oh my gosh.
Quick question. Yeah. So on Replit, Do you know if there's a way to limit Replit?
Replit can do everything for you.
It can handle the frontend. It doesn't like burn through too many credits too quick. Is there a way to like limit the usage of the credits?
You know, not really. The best way to manage the usage is to be specific in your task requirement. Yeah, right. Because what happens sometimes to me is it'll do, you know, $2 of work and the backend and the databases, and we're going to talk about what all that means. And, you know, I've spent two— when I leave for 30 minutes because I give it something really big because it created its own problem that it then tries to create a fancy solution to fix. Yeah, it just does weird stuff, right? And so it's better to babysit it right now. There's some things like, like I've got it figured out, right? It's all about prompt engineering. It's $121 this month in this, but I'm building like hardcore things and using it a lot. If you pay for Replit, you pay $25 and that basically gives you 20. All about figuring out how to say the right thing and also give it explicit instructions not to do specific things. Right? Like when I get into a project, sometimes it'll be like, I'm trying to fix this issue. I'll say, ignore this issue for now. I want you to only focus on this. As soon as you are done with this, report back to me. Gotcha. Right? It's almost like talking to an employee, right? You have to give it really explicit instructions, but the better the instructions, the better the out. $5 of credit if you pay for an annual license. It's only $180. And so that means you pay $15 for your first 25 every month, right? So you pay $180 today. But, and the better the output, the cheaper it's going to be because you're not going to have to spend time fixing it.
And from context, if you'll just forgive me for saying this, a developer would spend—
and you'll get $25 of credit every single month for the next 12 months. That credit can be used—
days trying to get a basic project spun up and if it costs me $2, oh my goodness sakes, the clouds should part and rays of sunshine should come down and I should hear angels singing, right?
It's— I would easily spend $2 for that. Yep, absolutely. That's the cool thing is if you— this is back to the discussion we used towards development, right? Which is what we're doing right here. Every time we get— we were having earlier, right? I go and raise $13 million. All my investors get, you know, about their money back, basically $10 million. You know, plus they also got some equity. So it's not fully done yet. They might end up with $20 million. But the point is, think about the stress and complexity and how many people want to sue you when you're dealing with money. Like if it's $2 or $10 or $200, like, who cares right now? You don't want to be wasteful. You want to be efficient and you're asking the right question. But, but to Nate's point, like, this is, this is a whole new playing field. Like you can get to a point where you can sell a product in, in days for $100, right? As Michael, you know, told us and shared with you, a robot checkpoint right here costs $0.25. Okay. There's a cheaper version where you can get into what's assistant, right? Where you can say, hey, tell me, or please look at the P5 earlier. And I've done that now a few times. I've helped a few companies do this now. Anyway, so cool. Caleb, you had a question.
I saw your hand raised. Yeah. Have you tried different code generators? I know there's like Bolt and Lovable that are pretty popular.
JS implementation and tell me if there's anything we can do to improve it. So that it doesn't slow down. Have you tried that? No. Yeah, I have. I've tried all of them. Right now I believe Replit is in the lead. Have you heard of Manus? Anybody here heard of Manus? Yeah, Manus is getting all the hype right now. It's from China. Do you know what Manus is? Replit on deep— on what they're on the site. Now here's I'm going to add something here.
Deepseek?
No, it's not. It's not actually. It turns out that it's built on Claude Sonnet 3.7, which is what Replit is built on. When you watch all these videos of it like, oh, it did this and it made this whole planet, it did this. What do you think it's doing right here? Let's read through what it had to do. We're going to talk about for a second. This is one of the topics, so we're knocking off one of my bullet points here. Chain of thought reasoning. Chain of thought reasoning, if it is already well implemented, is the most advanced state that AI is in today. What it means is it can take one idea, one instruction, break it down into subtasks, and then make plans for each of those subtasks. With some of those subtasks, you can say that as well. Now the difference with the agent, which is what we've been using here, and the assistant is the agent is just going to get to having their own subtasks, right? So for example, let's say, let's, let's do chain of thought reasoning that we do every day without even thinking about it, right? I need to get ready. I woke up, I got ready, I need to get ready, right? Well, that's easy for us, right? Oh, well, what do we do? Well, let's break it down. Well, norm work. Unless you tell it explicitly not to. The assistant is going to listen. We're going to shower. We're going to brush our teeth. We're going to do our makeup. If you're that kind of guy. I'm just kidding. You're going to do your makeup. You're going to brush your hair. You're going to— it's going to look and then it's going to talk to you and then it's going to suggest an improvement. If there is one, and say, I think you could do this to improve it. Would you like to do that? Yes. Go, go to the bathroom. You're going to— maybe you weigh yourself in the morning. Maybe as far as part of getting ready, you do 20 push-ups. Maybe you go on a quick walk. Maybe you like to walk outside and drink a, you know, a cup of hot chocolate or some OJ, whatever. You have your getting ready routine, but you break that down into lots But for every, you know, commit that it's doing over here, it's only 5 cents. So an assistant to things. Well, let's look at the shower. Okay. Hey, when I get in the shower, I need to wash my hair with shampoo and I'm going to get some body wash and I'm going to, you know, I like to sit on my little thing and just kind of steam for a minute, whatever. You've got your routine that is broken down. And so getting ready is actually a bunch of chain of thought reasoning of smaller broken down tasks that could be used to change something like, hey, I want you to rewrite all the language on this thing, and it could still be a pretty significant, you know, during the right season. Or how many people need their leaves cleaned up, or how many people want their dog poop cleaned up, whatever. There is money in services businesses because everybody needs it, right? Okay, awesome. Jenny, back to you. Same kind of question about like, if you ever had a business idea, or if not, hobbies. What do you, what do you care about? What do you think about when you're You know, like, that'd be cool if I could do that.
Anyway, well, I did. I mean, years ago, thought it would be fun to— because, you know, I, I had an aunt one time ask for dinner recipes, and she's like, I just don't want something that you, you've pinned on Pinterest. I want like a tried and true recipe. And I'm like, it'd be kind of fun, you know, because I like to cook and like to bake. And I'm like, to, you know, have a website or something where it's like, okay, I tried this recipe and this is what I think.
Rewrite the whole you know, homepage, but it's much, much cheaper to use the assistants. And AI up until not very long ago, let's say 6 months ago, was mostly just, okay, you asked me to do something, I went and did it. What's next? Instead of saying, oh, sometimes I have found that the agent is so smart these days. Okay, you asked me to do something, but because of this, I think there's actually like 10 things I need you to do, right? When I'm not going to the assistant as much. I used to go to the assistant to do small changes, but the assistant— we were watching Grok think about, um, we're going to go back to the history here and we're going to go to top stocks for investment. You can actually look at its thought process. The request is for a detailed analysis of the top 5 stocks to invest. I'm thinking about how to find stocks based on recent performance and analyst recommendations. Since today is March 18th, I'll need to get lost sometimes. The agent now just thinks so many things. We're going to talk about how to look for current data. Let's check for recent articles. Great. Searching, searching, searching. Hey, I found this. Does that second. So it says here, it says, hey, there's a few optimizations we can make to improve performance. Key optimizations made. Article. Here's another one. Here's another one. Here's another one. I read it. Now I'm going to evaluate them. This, this, this, this, this, this, this. Right now I'm going to clarify and see what the best way is. Pre-calculated orbit paths instead of drawing them every frame. Cool. Reduced unnecessary stroke, no stroke calls, simplified planet rendering by, by removing the wobbly effect. To do this, and we don't have to read through the whole process, but you can see it's thinking and breaking those steps down and then delivering on each of those and then putting it all together in a beautiful summary for you. It's just mind-blowing what is possible today. But here inside of Replit, hey, I'll help you integrate this code on your testimonials page. Let's start by installing the p5.js library. For me as a user, I'm someone who I like to watch and learn. I'm like, oh, okay, there's a p5.js library that has to be installed on a website for it to work properly. Perfect. Now let's check the existing testimonials component. Now it's going to look at what is this page doing. Great. I'm going to integrate this into added bounds, checking for mouse events, cached common calculations, remove redundant shape creation, optimize shooting star rendering. You're like, I don't know, the testimonials page. Let's first install the library. Now let's check the file to see how to best do this. Now let's create an animation component to the testimonial section. Now let's update this to include our space animation. Let's also install— oh, hey, we need something else. We need a TypeScript. I know I'm going to trust that it's pretty good. Let's try it. Now here's the cool thing. We're going to apply all. Applying changes. And so what it did is it added 28 lines and it took away type definition. Something that allows for that type of code to be inserted there because there's a type error. It found an error and said, oh, I know what the error is. We need to install this to get rid of that error. Fantastic. Hey, it looks like there's still an issue with nested a tags in the footer. Let's fix that. That's actually where Replit is. It's left the current task and it's going back to something that was previously messed with, but it fixed it. Great. Are there any similar problems here? We're doing good. Let's check to see if there's any applications or any problems. Great, it works. Fantastic. By the way, our deployment is now live. I could share this with anybody, 34 lines. I can actually click on it to see what those changes were. Now if I'm a developer like Caleb, but now anyone can click on this and it's not done, but this is what we built. I'd be like, okay, this is cool. What's it doing here? It's removing that. These are just notes. Why did it change that so far?
Right.
Fantastic. I've got my shooting star. I think it's cool. I'm going to keep that there for a while. So starting to make sense a little bit. Starting to come together, at least, you know, at a very high level. All right. Now we really are going to take some time and do just a little bit of basic vocabulary around what's happening here, because as you're reading Okay, that's a lot. Okay, great. Perfect. Whatever. Now, you know, you can close that out. You can look at the console or seeing a lot of those things. You might be like, I just don't understand what he's saying when he says this thing, right? You can leave this progress. Now here's something that happened. So again, we're staying very high level. You can, you can go deeper into this. I'm going to provide this document to you and you can say, hey, ChatGPT, explain this to me like I'm a 3-year-old. Right? You can do that too. Right? Or like I'm a 10-year-old. Maybe you're, maybe you're there. That's fine. You can do that later and you can really understand it and you're not going to remember everything, but at least seeing some of these words, you're going to be like, okay, so I have, you know, and I'm going to teach, I'm going to backfill all this, but I'm just going to do this and I'm going to talk about it as I do it. Whenever I see an error like this come up, I just take a quick screenshot and I drag it into the chat here. Decades of experience. Being the CEO of software company.
I would rate it like it was easy, it was— it tasted good, or it was terrible. And, you know, just something like that where it's like, yeah, I tried this and it was great. And here you go.
Now you know that.
All right. So I just built like 3 businesses in my head with that, right? Couple things. Here's an easy one. It could just be Jenny's Recipes. .com. Great. And so you just share recipes that you know you've liked and they're good, right? Huge businesses start like that, right? Where you just say, I just want to share my stuff. And then someone finds your recipe, shares it on their blog, and all of a sudden your site traffic goes to 30,000 people. And like, this is amazing. What other recipes do you have? Do you have a book I can buy? Now you've got a business and you just respond to the requests, right? Super, super easy. A second one is, well, what if it was a website, like a tool that sits on top of recipe.com or recipe sites that are out there, and the only purpose of it is to review it, right? And so it then finds and pulls and scrapes. Scrape means to pull data off of a site. You probably heard a couple people say scraping, scraping. You know, Micah was talking about that, right? That means to just pull stuff off of a website., right? Which is just gonna be in this case recipes. And it snags the link and it snags the thing and it says, hey, here's a quick recipe. I tried it, not great. Okay, perfect. Now other people, hey, what did you think? Did you, have you tried this? Right? Leave your review. Right? You can build that kind of a system by just telling Replit what you wanna do. Right? So very cool. Alright. We've gone through the intro section now. Um, I want to pull— I'm going to start pulling up a couple things. So I wanted you guys to see this. The next thing we're going to do is we're going to do a, um— by the way, this was the Grok research. It took 2 minutes 31 seconds, looked at 23 sources, right? And it says, hey, I think these are probably the best, the best things: Microsoft, Nvidia, Airbnb, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and SS&C. By the way, I, I'm— I follow the stock market pretty closely. This is a good list. I would invest in these things personally. Right? You can decide what to do. Here's the detailed analysis. I could then here with Groq say, hey, here's what I would do, right? Think, right? I have $5,000 to invest. How should I allocate this if I buy these 5? And now it's going to think and it's going to, you know, hey, to allocate this blah blah blah. So it's understanding. Right. And you can read about all these things. You can question it. You say, you know what, I actually really don't like SS&C. I think it's really bad. I think, I think it's overpriced, whatever. Anyway, but it's probably done a lot of these things, right? It also only said, hey, upside potential is 19.3%. I don't know what that means. 19.3% when? In a year? I want you to do more analysis, back this up with more evidence, right? You can tell it to just go deeper and deeper and deeper. Right. So final recommendation, 1,000 to each. Okay, great. Thanks. All right. It just divided it by 5, so that's fine. Now we're going to move away from, from this. And does everybody have X pulled up and Groq pulled up? Yes. No. Okay. And so I've paid developers. Nate has paid and managed developers. Michael has. Jordan is— some of these other people have, right? Caleb is a developer, and so he understands all of this implicitly. But when you're around that language, you start to understand like, oh, HTML is the front end. I say the attached error, like what I see on a website type thing. CSS is talking about the font size and the colors. You can dive in deeper. I'm not going to go into HTML, CSS, JavaScript. We're not going to go into what all those what those things are. What I want you to just recognize is, okay, we've got front-end client-side development, right? Sometimes you'll hear, I'm a front-end developer. Great, that happened. Okay, so sometimes the assistant will break something because it doesn't look at it as in-depth as it looks like everybody does. Carter, you got it pulled up? All right, we're going to build something cool. The first thing we're going to do, I want all of you— now, Caleb, this might be not as— it might not be as magical. It means that developer, His job is to work with things that you can see. The front end, right? The back end is backstage, right? It's like, it's just like a play, right? You've got the, you've got the, the backdrop there. Everything that's in front of the backdrop, the audience can see and it looks awesome. But behind there, you've got some behind the scenes stuff. Maybe you've got some special effects. Maybe you've got the orchestra. Maybe you've got, you know, people operating, you know, pulleys and things at a play. So the front side, the front end is what you can see. It's going to render or display the user interface or the UI. You'll hear UI a lot or UX, user experience and user interface, UI and UX. Going to handle user input, forms, clicking, navigation. Those are the things that you're going to navigate, you're going to click, and you're going to input things. Pretty much everything comes down to those three interactions. Then you're going to communicate with the backend via APIs. An API is basically a word for a connector. We're going to connect the front end to something. So if I agent, this is why I don't use the assistant as much anymore, but it still can do some things, right? But it's saying go to my website here. Here we go. This one right here that's loaded, right? If I sign out and then I click log in right here, here's my username. Now I've got it saved and whatever, but I'm typing and clicking here. Typing in, hey, I could still do— okay, it should have done this. Let's fix this by using the p5.js instance properly. So it's going to apply. Now sometimes when I see a +9, -9, I just check it to see if it's doing the exact same thing. Update and draw planets. I'm clicking here and then I'm going to click sign in. When I click sign in, it's going to send my inputs to a database and say, hey, does this username exist? Yes. Great. Does the password match that username in the database? Yes. Great. Welcome. Right. You're in. If it doesn't, then, hey, this login successful thing won't come up. It'll say, sorry, wrong password, try again. Okay, so very basic, very basic stuff here, but it communicates with APIs. Now APIs are very, very important. I don't know if it covers— if I cover them a lot more— yeah, we do cover more lately, but I'm going to give you just a high-level thing right now so you can come back to it later. An API connects one thing to another. It can connect the front end to the back end like we just talked about and I demonstrated. It can also connect the back end to another back end. What if you connect a database to another database, right? For example, what if you want to accept a payment? So somebody on your website enters a credit card number and expiration date and all of the information that's needed. They click submit. Then via an API, because you don't want to be responsible for this, Stripe, a very popular payment processor, is— yeah, it did change some things. Okay, apply all. Perfect. Now to you, because you've probably done stuff like this, or maybe you haven't, Who here has heard of p5.js? Anybody? Yeah, probably not. Okay, yes, I get to do something that even Caleb doesn't raise his hand on. That's cool. p5.js is just a fun front-end library. Front-end means you can see it. It's the user interface. It's an expert. They've figured out all the security issues. You don't want to deal with payment stuff. That's really, really hard. We rely on somebody else that's already built that and spent billions of dollars perfecting that technology. And so we just connect to their API and we say, hey, if I send you credit card information, you process it and then just send me back what happened. Was it processed? Yes or no? And how much for? Great, transaction successful. Then my system says, if I receive a transaction, a transaction successful message from Stripe, I can release the product to the user. Right. I can give them access to the court. Okay. Now we can come back and here it is. So it made it more efficient. I can still click on it, right? If I click up here, it's not going to work. If I click down here, it's not going to work. If I click here, so I can send them the thing. I can start the process to, you know, hey, an order has come back in. Is databases and data and where the passwords are stored. And when you type in your email and password, it through and you've been successfully paid and all that stuff. Stuff, right? So APIs help you connect anything, your own internal stuff and maybe external stuff. Okay, great. Any questions before we move on from frontend? Pretty straightforward. Okay, added some bounds to it. I don't know if it was messed up before, but hey, we've now got a new system that's, that's backend server-side development, right? Some people might say I'm a backend developer. Some people, like Caleb said in the beginning, might say I'm a full stack developer, more efficient. It's not going to take up as much memory and we've got a full stack developer, which means he does front end and back end. He understands how it all works and he can code and manipulate and do all that cool stuff. Replit would be a full stack, everything. It's basically the behind the scenes logic as well as databases that tell the front end how to act. It checks the database, and says, is this the right user and this is the right password? Does this all line up? Yep. If you do this, then this happens. You really can break down most things into if-then statements. If the username and password are not matching in the database, then send an error message. They're not all written as if-thens, but that's how a lot of initial early coding happened. It was a lot of if this, then that, if this, then that, if this, then that, and you had really complex things. It got too hard, so they built better, better systems to do it. A few of the languages that you'll use in the backend: Python, Flask, Django. This is pronounced Django, silent D, you know, it's just there for fun. Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL. This is a database language. Firebase. And a lot of these languages are functioning piece of my website here that I think is pretty cool and I'm actually super excited about it. Okay. A lot of these systems are available They're, you know, as HoNow. Yeah, we haven't jumped into any of this stuff yet. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to get in there soon. All right. Hosting services through popular things like Microsoft Azure. Hey, let them in, right? So it's a front-end language that Amazon Web Services or AWS and there's a lot of different ones. Google's got their own and there's a lot of services, a lot of private ones, and you build cool stuff. Here's what we're going to try. We're going to go, what's a good— actually, I don't want it to think. What's a good P— whoops. Now we're going to take— by the way, if you guys ever need to take a break, you need to get some water, you need to go to the bathroom, just— I mean, heck, you can even build your own if you really want to be crazy. But usually people are going to integrate with something simple. Now, the cool thing about Replit is they do it all for you. Now you can see all these different things. I've got a few different apps inside of here and you can see how much, you know, how many agent checkpoints I've used on each of these different things. And then you can see the cost accrued for my storage. Turn off your camera really quick. Take off. You can say in the chat, be right back. Right. E5JS viewer. Okay. I want you all to type that. What's a good and come back, right? I am recording this. I will be able to send it all to you. I will send it all, right? How much am I storing on these different projects? What's my outbound data transfer? Look how cheap it is. $0, right? Now my auto-scale deployment— hey, I'll send it all to you at the end, so you'll be able to be like, oh, I missed that section in there. Or, you know, it looks like we've done a few things that have required some auto-scale deployments, right? It's cost me $1.84 this month. Again, very cheap. All right. $0.24 down here for PostgreSQL storage, right? Which is just my database and all my stuff that I have. I've paid $0.24 this month and then compute, right?
Okay.
We're doing a lot. Dream Crazy is going nuts in here doing a lot of stuff, right? So $20— I had to go to bed. Don't like kill yourself and just step away for a minute. Come back. We'll keep getting $7 of compute. And that's because we're running a bunch of things. You don't have to understand what all these things are. But the bottom line is you've got basically front end and back end. And Replit very conveniently. Although I will say it is more expensive to do it in Replit than if you were to do it in AWS. That's okay. Part of what we're trying to do here is build. All right. What we're going to do right now— we're here to grind. There's no breaks. You can grind too. That's my style. By the way, I have snacks here. This is prototypes. You could theoretically run an entire business on here, and I am planning on running my GenAI P5.js viewer. Right. And it's going to be p5.js. That's what it's going to bring up to you. Right. So you're going to copy this little thing here. You all do this copy and then paste it and open that link efficiency thing all through Replit just to prove that I can do it. Right. But it's a little bit more expensive. I don't know, a Snickers peanut butter crunchy thing. I don't know. It's probably not healthy, but it's going to keep me going. I've got some jerky over here. You will see me eating expensive. And the reason for that is they're Replit is buying AWS compute power and then reselling it to me. So they're going to mark it up a little bit, right? So it's obviously going to be a little bit more expensive, but the convenience of not having to configure all of those things and manage many accounts and try to understand how it all— you guys are talking sometimes, eating is encouraged in this course, eating and drinking. So you should be to p5js.org. Start coding. All fits together. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
This is an amazing deal. Yeah, you're going to save money not having to pay DevOps guys to do all that stuff and time.
Precisely. Precisely. And you can make it more efficient too. You can say, hey, my cost on this element is too expensive, Replit. How can we optimize the system to not do as many? Long as, you know, you're not drunk drinking. That's— we'll avoid that for this class, at least, you know, requests here. And it will, it'll optimize it for you and reduce your costs, your ongoing costs. Okay, so backend responsibilities: processing data, handling authentication, which is like logging in and security, communicating with databases, um, so you can be focused. We want a sharp mind. All right, and I don't know if anybody on here is doing that anyway, so I'm going to jump in here and we're going to go into here, and then managing business logic, calculating prices, storing user actions, lots of things like that, right? Okay, front end and back end, pretty, pretty straightforward. You don't have to have a deep understanding of it. You just have to understand, okay, if I have a form, that form has to be processed somehow. Okay, so everybody tell me once you get to where you can see— sometimes you can even process it in the front end, but you have to do that very perfect. So we've— I've got this kind of build a business in a weekend folder that I'm going to share with you guys. I'll put it to— right, you have to say, okay, I'm going to store this in the memory, but as soon as I click refresh, it's gone on my screen, right? You're at editor.p5js.org, you see this function setup thing, whatever, right? So there's little things like that you'll just learn over time, and some of you might never get into that, but For some of you, you just have to know what's possible. So databases and SQL. SQL is— most people will say SQL. I hear some people say SQL and that's fine. I say SQL. That's what I've heard developers say my whole life. So databases store together in a nice way. In fact, I might actually upload a lot of it into a users section where you guys will all have been like paid users. You've already got access to the course. I might actually build that or this will be super easy for some of you. It might be a little bit like you're stretching yourself a little bit. That's okay. Yeah, everybody do like Nate did just so we'd have kind of this ready thing he did. He pushed the little like thumbs up button. I don't know where to do that. Structured information. Okay, so we'll come in here. I don't even know if we have— I'm going to click on here on database, see my data. I don't think we have any data yet. Yeah, we don't have any data yet in this, so that's fine. That's fine. We'll have it eventually. Here, we'll do this. Please create an authentication system that uses the next 3 days and upload all of the content from these into those sections so that you guys have a database to store usernames and easy access. You just log in with your username and password and you have access to the Build a Business in a Weekend. Stuff words so that users, whoops, can have access to course content. In a minute here we will have a database. It's going to spin up a SQL database, or maybe it already has, but now it's going to start building some tables and it's going to— you go in the— teach us, Nate, where did you push that button?
Down along the bottom, you see participants chat, react. The react looks like a heart. If you click on it, it has a bunch of little emojis.
So we have like crying, laughs, thumbs up, heart, clap, raise hand, stuff like that. All right, has everybody gotten to this editor.p5js.org? But what I wanna do here is we're gonna take just a— I saw yes from Michael and Nate and Caleb. Jordan, you get there? Cool. Carter, you there?
Moment.
And we're going to do— we're going to go through the coding quick start guide for Replit. Hey, let's create a user table and it's going to have different fields. So I'll show that in a second after it comes up.
Go ahead, Nate. Um, each time you type something, something in there, that's a checkpoint.
That's $0.25 basically, right? Nope. Nope. It's, it's users. I want you guys to just know what a few terms are. These are very easy for Caleb. He's going to be like, oh my Oh my God, pretty crazy. Um, sometimes it is, other times it will do 2 checkpoints in one big long task because it like finishes half of it and it's like, I need to do this. The checkpoint— I'm so bored. And that's fine. And I'm not even going to read through all of this. We're going to quickly just— is to protect so that you can roll back to a certain spot if you mess, if you mess up. You want to be able to roll back. That's really what the checkpoint is for. But it's also, Nate, it's it's using AI credits, right? And so as it basically, okay, I just used 10,000. No, I don't know how to get to it. Just go look at my, look at the, at the thing right here, you know, context, whatever. And so that's 20 cents, that's 25 cents or whatever, right? Hit some highlights so that you know how to talk to Replit because you're going to need to be able to talk to Replit. By the way, every time it hits kind of that limit, it just kind of throws it out there, but it creates these checkpoints at reasonable places. It doesn't do it exactly like that. Sometimes it might spend 20 cents of its own money or it might spend 30 cents even though it's charging you 25. And, um, but it will put it at logical places where a task is done. This task is complete. I'm now going to create a checkpoint. All right. I've even had it go 30 minutes without doing one checkpoint. I didn't write this. ChatGPT wrote this, right? It wrote it in— or if you guys, you could just use mine, editor.p5js.org. Okay, just type that into your browser. We're here in the project that I've been working on where it understands, okay, this is all about— right, it's just kind of random on what, what you're— what it's doing. And again, the costs are so dang cheap, and I'm not going to try to figure out why it's doing. Get rid of this little cookies thing here. I mean, whatever.
I'm just like building.
I'm just curious.
Yeah.
Good question. All right. Databases in SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, FireDB, building out these different elements and here's all the different things. Here's the project. Hey, I'm going to be I'm going to be talking about this course and here's Firebase, DynamoDB. Some of these are other databases. Firebase is inside of Amazon, AWS. There's lots of ways to deal with data. There's different reasons for why you would do a SQL database versus a NoSQL database. I'm going to be doing, please help me build some documents for this. So I just, I, I just, the reality is I couldn't tell you that answer. I bet you Caleb could had it, listen to me and then it regurgitate. I bet you Caleb could say, here's why I would do it and here's the situation. As a learner, I actually, as I'm sitting here teaching you, want to know that answer. And so I can do that. I can say, hey, why would I, I just copy this into here and we're going to go into a new ChatGPT chat.
Jenny has it coming over there. Did I mention the computer illiterate part?
Okay, just go to browser and go to editor. I'm not talking about farm, and I'll just say, why would someone want a SQL versus no SQL?
That's okay.
Yeah, we're getting there. Hey, you're good, you're good. It did the important stuff in a nice organized manner. I want to demonstrate this really quickly. We're going to database. Give me the answer in less than 3 sentences.
Right?
So sometimes, you know, I'm going to go to ChatGPT here and we're going to do just a new, a new thing. And AI won't like go off and teach me a whole course. Sometimes I just want succinct. All right, here we go. SQL databases are best for structured data with clear relationships. Right, like a username and a password, right? Complex, making them ideal for financial systems, CRM, and enterprise apps. Okay, yeah, we got it. Perfect. All right, so you got this nice little thing and you're like, I don't really know what to do here. You see, applications, NoSQL databases excel at handling unstructured or semi-structured data, offering high scalability and flexibility, which suits real-time applications, big data, and dynamic content. Like, I'm going to turn on voice here. So voice just means— so here I can click this button. Social media or IoT, the choice depends on whether you prioritize data. And a button and a stop button. You've got a bunch of things here. All right, who knows how— I want everyone's, everyone's mute off really quick. Tell me how to— what's the, what's the, the quick copy? How do you copy? Integrity and complex querying, SQL or SQL, or scalability and schema flexibility? Yeah, that's cool. So anyway, that might sound like, you know, Greek to, you know, Roseanne, and that's fine. But bottom line is you could say, explain it to me like I'm a— and then I could just start talking to ChatGPT and we'll just have a conversation. Voice is just going to literally transcribe what I say. Hello, hello, hello. Something quick on a computer. Ctrl+C. What if you're on a Mac? Anybody on a Mac here? I'll check. Describe what I say. Hello, hello, hello. It's just going to listen to what I say, right? Like I'm 5. Or you could say, explain it to me assuming I have no understanding of computer technology. Great. Here you go. SQL databases are like a super organized toy box with labeled compartments for each type of toy. I want to know that actually. Is anybody on a Mac? You guys know Command+C. I know this is basic stuff. You always know where everything is. NoSQL databases are like a big toy chest where you could throw in any toy without worrying about labels, making it easier to add new kinds of toys. If you want everything neat and easy to find, use SQL. If you want to throw in lots of different toys quickly and find them later, use NoSQL. Awesome. I actually totally understand that better now. Maybe I'm a 5-year-old. Maybe that's where my understanding comes in. But basically, if you want to be able to do really robust analytics, you're probably in a SQL database, right? You want to be able to see, all right, how often do my users log in every day? But it's going to help you. Command+C is copy. What about paste? Control+V. Yeah, Control+V or Command+V. What about select all? And you know, what, what, what are the patterns of these things? And you want to be able to pull it all together, whereas if you just— Control+A. Yeah, Control or Command A. Okay, so if I want to select tons of data, you need to be able to pull data up at different times. You might even in, in a given project have different types of databases for different types of data. Facebook would be a great example of that. They're going to have some things that require more organized things. And I say, so watch this. You can do this on your Notes app too. But let's say that I have This is, this is, we're getting into some general, we're going to get back to the coding stuff, but I want you guys to understand how I built that document so that you can just understand how incredibly easy it is. And they're going to have others where it's like, hey, we've got tons of content. Let's take all this content and then throw it at the organized database, right? That's kind of how they do that there. And they have, they even have some more to be so effective in whatever you're doing for your work. Okay. I live on a farm. So this, I can just click right here. I want you guys to do this. Everybody just click on the 1 through 7 here. These are the lines of complex relationships that they deal with in Facebook. But we don't need to go into that. Bottom line is you store data in a database. Simple. Then you can query, right? You can ask the database, hey, how many lines of code are there? How many users do I have? You know, replace everybody's name. If their name is John Doe, you know, replace it with Jane Doe. You know, whatever, right? You could, you could, you could give it commands to either search or replace, right? Command+A, that selects everything, and delete or backspace. Or do things like that. And the good news is you don't ever have to do that. Done. Now we have a clean slate. Okay, back to Groq. Here we go. Back to Groq. Okay, great. Now I want you guys to all type this. I want you to come up with your— the way that you would do that is inside Replit, you would say, okay, please replace all of the names of John Doe to Jane Doe. Then it would create all the scripts and run it and you're done. Occasionally I have to go on vacation. Maybe I can have, you guys can come down and take care of, we've got tons of chickens and we've got a horse and sometimes we need people to help us when we want to leave for a few days. You don't have to worry about what it's doing. Here is we're doing a PostgreSQL database, user roles, password hashing using— super cool. It's doing all kinds of things that you don't need to understand. Connecting the database to Replit, you don't need to worry about that. It'll take care of it for you. It'll do all of that. Of course, you could say, hey, you know what? I want to reduce my— sometimes people like to come and stay at the farm. I'm going to create right now in front of you guys a quick own idea. I'm going to type this or you can copy my idea. I really am okay with this, but go back to Groq right now. I'm planning on building something really big. And, and not only that, it is getting really big. And so I need to shift this over to an Amazon database. You can do that. You can say, hey, Replit, I want to switch out of the Replit database and say, I want to a database here. Please help me do that. And they'll say, great, and it'll just get to work, right? So a P5— what, P5.js, right? We're using the code language. Um, APIs and endpoints, we talked about this. Application Programming Interface. In other words, it's a connector. They just communicate with each other, right? I need to get data, I need to get information, I need to move things back and forth between two systems. That's all you got to worry about. An endpoint is the place, which, right, p5.js, um, crazy visualization guide using AI on how to take care of the farm. And here's how I'm gonna do it. Okay, so, um, I live on a farm, it's 5 acres, and we have 60 chickens. Right next to the road is the house, and then, you know, the property kind of slopes down, and the chicken coop is at the far end of the, of the property. Um, it's really easy to open it, you just kind of turn a handle and you can get into the chicken coop. You can also go that it goes to get the information. The API says on one end, hey, go to this API's endpoint, grab the data, and pull it back. Those endpoints have requirements, sometimes secrets, sometimes passwords, sometimes different things like that. That's all we need to say right now. Replit handles all of this for you. They have a system in here. I'm actually going to go over this right now. We'll go over secrets. Secrets is a section in here that basically keeps like, hey, here's my database URL. We can reveal this. This isn't sensitive. But here of the solar system, here is where my database is kept. It's using Neon databases. That's on the right side of it and open it up and you can see all the eggs and we usually get somewhere between 30 to 60 eggs a day and so You want to check on that or they'll just pile up into big piles. We also have some goats over in the goat house and they need to be fed. Make it colorful. That's a database server. I can look at all of these things, but it keeps information and passwords and different things like this. This is a password. It's set up a database. We have a horse that actually is at another property that's just a couple blocks away. You just go down the street and head left and I'll make an interactive and allow me to create a user and a password for me. That's how I get into my database to be able to do this. Obviously you don't want those things kept or displayed out in the open and so they create secrets that it then automatically uses in deployments for you. You don't have to worry about any of these secrets. Are there any questions about secrets? I want you to be shooting stars by clicking. Clear on what this is. This, these are the passwords and the strings and things that need to be inside of your platform so that it has access to APIs that it's turning to. For example, in my GenAIPI thing here, if I am not Let's see, I'm going to log in again. Feel free to copy my prompt, come up with another idea. I had Xena, my wife, do this the other day. Right here, but I'm going to log in with this user. This is a user that doesn't have access to everything. But if I come into certification and I say, now let's go to courses here, but I say I want to get access. Make sure I provide the address for you later, but you just go in there and just make sure that they get some, hey, and some water. Super easy. Don't have to do anything beyond that. You just throw the hay over the fence. Okay, I want to pay $29 for this. Okay, what it's doing is it's using a string. Again, she's into flowers and she said, let me create like a way where I can— and you'll be set there. Um, there's a couple things to worry about when you're here. Like, obviously you want to make sure you have my, you know, my password. And my password is, uh, admin for my network, right? Look at all these crazy things up here, right? It's using a Stripe secret to reach out and initiate a Stripe checkout session. Right. And so that secret is like plant flowers by clicking on a grid. And she did. Okay, great. So just do that stored in there so that only I can process it and then only Stripe can collect that money for me on behalf of me. Right. It's basically authentication behind the scenes, just like a username and password behind the scenes. That's what this is going to store. Now the cool thing is you don't have to understand how they work. All you have to do is fill it in when it asks for it. It will come up and it will say, in fact, when we— that's all you got to do and then push Enter. We're doing that earlier when we were doing the setup earlier. It said, hey, please put in your Stripe secret here, Eric. And my, you know, so if you want to be able to get on the Wi-Fi, you can do that. My garage is having some problems right now where when it closes, it kind of clips. And I said, I don't, I don't want to do this right now, do it later. And all— and it said something. And so it thinks that it's running into something and it stops. And so in order to close it, you just have to hold the button down and just make sure it goes all the way down. Until it's done. So just remember that. If you have an electric vehicle, you just plug into my— now this, go into this place, click on this website, click on this tab, find this thing, copy this, paste it here. Like, it tells you step by step. Anybody could do it. And then you're going to get this crazy code, a bunch of stuff you won't understand. Most of you won't understand. Caleb's like, function setup, I know this. Carter can do it, right? It's very, very simple and very easy. You just follow it. Server is running successfully. It's doing all kinds of good stuff. Stuff. I got this. This is just basic JavaScript. It created API endpoints for user registration, login, and course content, set up an admin dashboard with proper security, resolved a few issues it was having, and it's making sure that the app is getting up and running smoothly while we're over here learning. Okay, next part, authentication and security ensures that only authorized users can access certain data or services, right? You've got— I guess you could probably look at these two things. The first one is basically, hey, username and password, token-based authentication. Token is going to be a string of— All right, now what I'm going to do here is I'm going to— no big deal, uh, feel free to, you know, park there. You can park in the driveway, uh, either in front or you can go park down kind of below in the farm and kind of hide your car away from the, from the road. Numbers or letters or some combination like a password. Um, and then an OAuth is going to be where you're using like log in with Google, log in with Facebook. You guys have done those things a lot. And you can use— if you're worried about someone coming and stealing from it there's a cat that is amazing at breaking into the house. And so in order to stop that, those token-based authentications, right, the Facebook, it has a username and password, right, that then passes back a successful login and an email and passes back whatever needs to happen. So you could say, hey, you know what, I would love for people to copy it. For those of you that are— I'm going to, you know, do it quickly. It even tells you how to do it. How to use it. Go to the p5.js web editor, editor.p5.js. Replace the default code with the code above, right? When they are signing up for my cleaning service, Roseanne's Cleaning Services, and, um, I would love for them to be able to just log in with Facebook, right? They don't have to, they don't have to remember another password or remember another whatever. Amazing, right? So the way you do that is there's a little button up here in the top right. This happens on all, on ChatGPT, GPT on click here to create your account, right? And they'll just log in with Facebook and they're in, or log in with Gmail. Great. And so you can just tell you have to close the screen door and you have to make sure that a couple doors are locked downstairs. Oh, Replit, please add a login with Facebook functionality for this. Done. Right? And then it will take you through the steps. You will have to provide a secret or two and you'll have to get into, you know, it'll tell you, hey, you need to go into the Facebook admin here and copy this thing and The basement door in the storage room needs to be locked and the garage door needs to be locked down in the basement as well. And if you do that, it's not going to be super, super easy. You'll have to learn as you do it, but you'll just follow the instructions step by step. And if you're confused, you say, I don't know where to find this. I can call out on everything, copy. And then you're going to jump into the editor. Can't find it. Help me. It'll help you, right? You can also copy the instructions it gives you and drop it into ChatGPT. Hey, this is going to be confusing. Can you walk me through this step by step? Anyway, the cat won't be able to break in. She's super nice. Her name's Elsie. If you get some tuna or something and put it out, just talk to the AI like it's an employee that is willing to answer every question and never judge you. Right? Okay, so we— and Command or Control V, paste it. She'll come and she'll love you and she's super nice. She's a little bit skittish, but don't worry about it. You don't need to worry about some of these, you know, security best practices. That's not really that big of a deal. So we've got agents and automation and Replic. We've already talked about it. The agent helps, you know, it uses that chain of thought reasoning to build projects and task lists and then goes and does it. Then when you're done, you push play. Hey, it's them all. Okay? And then the assistant can do other things, right? Optimizing Replic use. There, there's solar power and there's also some irrigation. And what I did on the right, look what I built. I built the solar system usage. All right, this is a good, a good time to teach this. Uh, no, we're not going to teach you yet. We're going to teach it, we're going to teach it later. I'm going to say it right now and then we'll, we'll dive into it later when we actually get into Replit. I want you all to maintain, when you're building with during the summer, you need to make sure that you are checking the irrigation filter. And you do that by just turning off the water, unscrewing the filter, taking it out, and then putting it back in. I want you to use a README file and a progress file. This is a huge secret that I learned. I discovered it on a discussion board somewhere where sometimes— and this is back to Michael, I think was asking the question about how do we keep our costs low on, on this. And how many planets are there in the solar system? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. That doesn't look right to me. Basically, a README document is like, here is what we're building. This is the purpose of the app. This is the purpose of the thing. And then the progress is, here is everything that we have built. Because if I'm in here in, in, in this and I click new chat, all right, I can't create a new chat while one is in progress right now because it's thinking, you know, do you go wash it out? And it's just kind of obvious, like, just kind of clean it out and then put it back on and turn the water back on and you're done. Okay, so that's really all I need you to know. And, um, yeah, I'm— thanks for— thanks. So I'm going to go back to Grok while you guys are still doing this. Keep working at it. Okay, I'm going to say it's doing stuff, so it doesn't want to stop. But once it's done, I can click New Chat. If I do that, it loses all of our discussion. And it starts over and it's like it's being first introduced to the project again. It knows nothing about what it's built. It then examines all the code. It quickly does that, tries to figure out what you're building. Make sure that each planet in the solar system is represented. Thanks for helping out. Okay, so that took 2 and a half minutes. I was not careful about how I organized my thoughts. It was kind of random. Right? And then gets back into it. But that can obviously cause some problems. It creates a continuity problem with trying to make sure we're always pushing towards the same goals. It doesn't understand what was done in the past. And so by creating these documents, and I'll show you how to do them later, by creating these documents, it allows the agent to understand where it's going. And so when I'm— when I do create a new chat, I'm going to say, you know, after we've created those documents, I'm going to say, Please update the progress.md file with everything we've done. Great. New chat. Then I'll say, please review the README and the progress.md documents and familiarize. Here's all of the words. Now I'm pushing Shift+Enter so I don't actually give it to it. Shift+Enter just lets me do that. This project. Now I want you to work on this. Then it's like, great, I know exactly where I left off. Here's where I'm going now. Super cool. So this one doesn't, you know, and those files would appear right here. These are your files of your project, right? You just click this little button to hide or whatever and they would be showing up right here. So we'll create those later. If I push enter, it's just going to send it and say, you know, here's this. All right, here is a description of things that need— we haven't created them yet. But anyway, that is what it is. Okay, we're about 2 hours in right now, half done with day 1. Let's finish up this last thing here, hosting and deploying. We talked about hosting and deploying where you can do it all there inside of Replit. That's really what you're going to want to do. Presented. Oh, you know what else? I wanted to try the clicking. Okay, yeah, when I click, it randomly shoots out a shooting star. But it's kind of boring. Okay, make it also— make it more visually— there are alternative options if you want to. Again, RepliKan handle all of that stuff to be done when taking care of our farm. Please put it in a simple— um, you just have to say, hey, you know what, I want to save money on my deployments, how can we do There you go. Okay, so those are the basic things you're not going to remember at all. You're going to want to remember like, hey, what does CSS mean? How do you find out? Who can tell me how to find out what CSS means very quickly and easily? To read guide that is coherent.
Don't change any facts.
Anybody?
It's Cascading Style Sheets. Oh, sorry, you could just go search for it in ChatGPT.
Perfect. Or Google. Just Google it. You guys know how to search. ChatGPT can teach you as well, right? You're like, hey, what is CSS? Teach me a little bit about it, right? And but basically what it means, CSS basically means, like I said, just organize it nicely. So that I want, I can leave it with my friends that are watching. It's going to determine the font size and the, you know, is it Times New Roman or is it Arial? Is it, you know, what color is it? What kind of spacing do we have here? Is there padding around the edge? Like it's anyway, so it's basically your formatting on your front end, right? That's the That's basically what CSS is doing. There's a lot of ways to do it and we're not going to get into that. I'll give one little tip that I'm just going to say right now out loud and I might never come back to it, but occasionally Replit will do something stupid and they'll do what's called nesting. Well, they'll say, here's my CSS, here are my instructions for the document. I want to use this font, these colors, this whatever. Whoops, I'm not— I'm going to— the farm for me. I'm going to leave the misspelling. Boom, done. Imagine you're doing something at work or you have to leave, but then it will take additional CSS and it will put it inside of the code. You've got this wrapping CSS that's supposed to take care of the whole website, and then on one section it throws something else in and you say, why is this color different? It shouldn't be different, please fix it. It goes in and it looks at only one section. It looks at the overarching one and says, oh, hey, it is set to blue. The main color is set to blue. Well, then why is it red down here? I don't know. You have to know to ask, are there any duplicates? Did you use two sets of CSS on this page? Please look for that. Then when it knows something, you're going on vacation, you need something taken care of, Yeah, you can put together a detailed guide or you can just talk for 2.5 minutes and let ChatGPT nail it. It's done. The guide is finished. Who's to look for that? You can, you know, so sometimes you have to just step back and say, okay, and some, and I learned this by the way, by the AI finding it itself. I said, you seem to be making changes that are not taking effect. Why do you think this is? Now you've got it thinking, okay, I need to take a step back. Yeah, let's make it more visually fun. I'm just going to let it figure out what that means, though. Make the— make the shooting star functionality more exciting. Okay, so here's an updated sketch that ensures all 8 planets of our solar system and figure that out. So you don't even have to know that that was the problem, right? We're all beginner developers here in comparison to these, these chat agents, or just compared to anybody, right? And so let it think. Okay, here's the farm care guide. The farm is 5 acres, house near the road, property slips down, goat house also on the property, or workscape another property. I'll provide the address, right? So obviously I could up, but you just have to learn how to ask the right question. That's, that's the, that's the B system. Are represented with accurate relative trade size distance ratios, right? I've also made it fun with wobbly planet shapes, glowing effects, and a psychedelic background. Beauty of this course. Um, okay, the next thing we're going to do, guys, um, everybody, does anybody need to take a break, bathroom break, grab some water? We've been sitting for 2 hours straight. You guys are welcome to take a break for a second, but the next thing I want you to do is this, and we're going to go— I wish I don't— let me, let me see if I can do this here. I'm going to stop sharing for just a moment here. What if I don't think I can do this in this system? All right, Caleb, I'm not kicking you out, but I'm going to put you in the waiting room for a second. I'm going to bring you back. Just want to see if this works. The shooting star functionality is now more exciting with randomized colors, sparkles, and a burst effect on— I kicked Caleb out. Now we can talk about him. All right, and we're going to bring him back in. Date that I was doing it for a demo purpose right now. Feed the goats daily. Egg horse feeding. Things to be aware of: garage door issue, Wi-Fi access, electrical vehicle charging, the cat else All right, you back, Caleb? Looks like you're muted. Yes, I'm back. He's back. So I kicked him out for a second. Okay, this is cool. I might do this. I might kick some people out, put you in the waiting room, then bring you back in. Um, but what I want you to do— and I'm not going to do it right now, but I might do it, you know, maybe in an hour or in 30 minutes or maybe 20 minutes if we're ready and fast— I want you to figure out what you want to build. So there's two things that we're going to do. Well, Yeah. I'm not going to do that yet. We're going to start with ChatGPT. All right. I need everyone to open ChatGPT. Or if you want to use, you know, Perplexity or whatever, you know, whatever you might have available or Groq or whatever you're comfortable with. If you have Groq open already, fantastic. Start a new chat and start talking to Groq. You can use Groq for this as well. I'm okay with that. But I want you to use ChatGPT if you think this is an idea that you really want to develop a ways. Okay, I'm going to, I'm going to share my screen really quick here. I'm going to teach you about projects. Okay, in ChatGPT, now I'm on the desktop app. You can also go into, um, ChatGPT, click. Perfect. I'm going to copy this. I'm going to come in. I'm going to select all. I'm going to delete it. And I'm going to paste it. I'm going to play the new one. Hey, there we go. So now I have a new solar system in front of me here. I've now written a bunch of code. All of my projects, all my stuff, it's all here, right? You, you've got a history of everything you've ever talked about. It'll go back forever. It's awesome. Okay. But I have a bunch of different apps to create something cool. All right. Caleb, did you build something? What'd you build? See, loves bringing to the house irrigation, solar, do this, final notes, enjoy, right?
And then I can come in.
Yeah, uh, zombie game. Nice. What is it like? Tell us. In here you've got Dream Crazy. This is Jordan's app that we've been working on, right? And I can come in here and I can see, and I can say, okay, um, you know, uh, I forgot to mention that the goats need water and so do the chickens, make sure they are fed and watered daily. All of the different things that are in here. Now, I haven't done it a lot in here, but Jordan needs to have his own project where every discussion, you can upload files, you can upload instructions to say, hey, you need to call me boss every time you tell me something or call me chief or always, you know, make sure you compliment me. Every single time you answer, you can literally say, hey, respond in Spanish, respond as if I were your king. Is it cool? Do you want it here? Do this. Share your screen really quick. I want to see it. You could do whatever the heck you want in here. Every time you ask it something, it will obey the overarching instructions, but it will also consider everything that's inside the— Click Share and then you should be able to do it. I think I've enabled it for everybody to really— along with the horse. So now it's going back into the guide that it—
sorry, I'm used to Microsoft Teams, but here we go.
Yeah, just along the body I just created, and it's updating it because I forgot those things, and it's created— and you're okay, you're okay. Okay. All right, so use arrow keys to move one human, avoid project. So for my general AI Proficiency Institute. I have tons and tons of documents in here, and it knows everything that's been said and all the different things. Hey, how am I going to— nice, beautiful document done. I, you know, structure these tests, and how are we going— you know, let's build a logo. Hey, I need to build this, right? Anyway, so I have lots of different things that I'm working on in projects, and so ChatGPT can do this, and Grok cannot, right? Someone asked earlier, why do we use certain things? Well, I use ChatGPT because I love the projects, and I keep everything inside of here when I'm working on something. So in order to create a new project, you just click New Project, and you get to work in it. Okay, so I would like for you to do— updated the guide, great. Now I can copy it. Now they have a weird bug right now where it says failed to clip to copy board, or— yeah, do that. I believe you have to be in a paid version of ChatGPT, which is $20 a month. But if you click it again, it works. I don't know why. Um, but now I can go back into Google here and the zombies— sick. So are you controlling that with your, with your arrow keys? The next task we're going to do right now, guys, is I want you to focus on your business idea. You're going to take some time. There's a little bit of free time that you're going to work on right now. And feel free to jump in and ask a question if you want to get into a private room to say, hey, can we I'm trying.
I don't know.
I think I'm supposed to be the human in the middle, but jump into a private room for a second. I want to just work with you on this idea. I'll throw everyone into a waiting room for a second. We'll work for a few and I can say, all right, I need a new document. And I'm just in Google Docs. This is a few minutes and then we'll come back. Okay.
Um, but I, I want it. I always get captured. So, oh, you get captured.
There we go. See, it has to work through the idea. I'm going to take you back into the general AI proficiency. I'm moving it through that one. Okay, so here's what I want you to do. Go back to Grok and say Institute. I, I don't know if I started in there. It's free on Gmail and I just paste it in here. I click right here on the document for test blueprint design. Let's just go back to here, see if I can go to the very top of this. I wish there was a button that let me just go to the very, very, very top. All right, here you go. So here's my arm care guide. Boom. And it built this beautiful documents tab, everything done. How cool is that, guys? Like 3 minutes initial prompt to build the website that's now giving me $60,000 of revenue. Okay, I want to create a website that checks the proficiency levels based on an intelligence test that shows the aptitude for an individual to succeed in a world with AI. This means they need to know how to talk to AI, how to be good prompt engineers, and they need to have a good brand. And you have a perfect guide, and you can obviously update on your own. You can type your own things in. You can— to figure out how complex systems can quickly to be put together. Can you help me build this? Make my character more visually distinctive so I know where I am. I can definitely help you build this. Here's how to break it down, right? Here's what we're going to do. Make it super interactive. You— heck, You could build a p5.js app with Grok. Okay. All right. So go down and make sure it's done. I always like to check to make sure it's done processing. That teaches all this stuff. You now know how to do that. You go into Grok, you find some cool visualization, make it great. Let's start with a good name, right? And I started working on names and then I started, you know, anyway, but it started, but that's how my business started. I was just like, I have an idea and I could have, and by the way, I actually did. I know I did before this. Talk to AI about these ideas. And I already kind of— pretty, you could make a quick website. Hey, I just need a quick website Replit that has the, you know, farm kind of knew what I wanted to ask here. I had done that and it's probably in some other, it might be in Groq, it might be in one of these other chats here that's not inside of the project. Bottom line is when I started this project, I already knew what I was going to try to build. But Jenny, I want you to do your own. Rosanna, I want you to do your own. Or maybe, maybe, maybe Jenny, you're gonna help Jordan with his and so your guide and I can send a link over. So cool. Now, by the way, if you don't do that or Rosanne, you wanna work on your cleaning business or you wanna work on something, you know, before I copy. Yeah, it's still, yeah, there you go. There you go. Keep going. You like doing with whatever. Jenny, do your recipe thing. I actually wanna see you do something with recipes. I want you guys to work on something and, and honestly, Jenny and Rosanne, if you want, you can work together on this. Right? You can just say, and then cool. All right, now it's, now it's done. So copy. Now it's just explaining it to you. Take it over, select all, paste, play. Boom. Now you know. Okay, so, oh, so yeah, try again. Yeah, that's so cool. Avoid the zombies. All right, it's gonna try to get another one. If I want to make, maybe I'm like, hey, I think this website is ready for at least some testing. I can come over here into deploy and it's going to turn that blue one into a zombie. Now you've got two zombies. Yeah, now you're dead. That's cool. You made a cool game. All right, stop. You know, you guys talk amongst each other and say, hey, let's build this together. Or maybe you both want to do your own thing. Totally fine. But by the end of these three days, guys, you're going to have a real product that works that you can put in front of people and say, try this out. Okay, so that's where we're going to go from now. So for the next little bit here, I want you to just talk deployments and I can set up my deployment. It's going to have automatic machine power and to ChatGPT or Groq or somebody, your AI, talk to your neighbor, talk, approve, and it's going to— it's auto scaling and all these things. It's amazing. You don't have to deal with AWS. To your wife and whatever you want to do and just say, I've got this idea. What do you think? I'd prefer if you do it with AI because I want you to learn about talking to AI and you can start it in a project. You can just go into it and just say, hey, I'm trying to build a business, and server stuff that we'll talk about later. I don't need you to know all that stuff. But now I can just say, okay, we're good. Let's deploy this. Done. Sharing. Perfect. Amazing. Who else wants to share? Nate, what do you got? Now it's provisioning it, building it, bundling it, promoting it. Now I can send you the link. Here are some of my ideas. Right? Help me, help me pick what I want, right?
So just, just talk, okay? I just did the same thing as you, just trying to focus.
I want this, this brainstorming session where you're talking to AI to go for the next—
we're going to say focus more on learning it rather than other ideas.
That's fine. Did you, did you, did it? I want you to, I want you to, and you guys would be able to play with my new app that I just built. Okay.
Now it's going to come up with it, right? Yeah.
So I'm going to share my 16 minutes. So that's going to take us to 5:33. Okay. Feel free to ping me if you want to, if you want to say something, right? Just message me directly. And if I put you in a, I'm going to put you in another room. I'll tell you guys, I'll say, hey, I'm going to switch everybody off for a minute here. It will be fast. We'll go back and forth. Use just a random string of something, something, something.this.app.replit.app. I can put johnsfarminstructions.com. By the way, Nate, you asked a question earlier about limitations on that domain. I can connect it in here. We'll show you how to do that later.. But on Solidity or anything like— no, there are no limitations. They can do anything you can think of. Yeah, you want to build a Web3 project here, you want to build something that, that checks patterns and auto trades for you, you want to build an auto trade, auto trader with, you know, meme coins, do it. You can do that. Screen here. I want everyone to learn how to share their screen. That's why we're doing this as well, because we want to kind of go for now. I can quickly get an MVP in front of anybody immediately. Hey, try it out. What do you think? And just say, hey, I'm going to put $20 in and see if it works. Maybe I'll lose all my money, but it will do it. And you can be like, I lost all my money. What'd you do wrong?
Back and forth and show things.
Okay. And then, yeah. Any questions? Oh, great. Oh, yeah. We need to change that. Replit, do this. ChatGPT, update the content. But it could do anything. So yeah, talk to AI. Come up with a, with an idea. I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna talk to it about my, about the course that I'm teaching right now in this website. Paste it into Replit. Boom, go. Right? So you can see as you start to put these— See. You just click, like, share entire screen. Are you seeing it? Not yet.
Not yet. Oh, I thought I have it on share entire screen.
That I'm trying to build and see if I can get it to do something cool here. These little pieces together, you can build tools in minutes. And Jordan, since, since we're already building Dream Crazy, I want you to try to focus on one of your other cool ideas just for the purposes of this exercise. Right? You can build a fully functioning tool that does something in minutes, a game, an instruction manual, of whatever the heck you need.
AI can take—
oh, there we go. Sorry. That's okay. There it is. Yep. Now we're seeing— nice. Yeah, yours is cooler than mine. Let me see your prompt. I want to go back to your prompt. Okay. Um, things that previously it would have taken me, you know, I don't know, 20 minutes to sit down and just kind of write down all the things I need to do to take care of the farm. Or maybe I get on a phone call, let me tell you everything, right? But now let's see what you said.
Make each plant in our solar—
make sure each plant in our Guide done. Next task. Let's go. Right. Super, super efficient.
Any questions or comments from the gallery? Solar system is represented. Also make sure it is more visually fun. Make, make the shooting star functionality more exciting.
Almost identical to yours. It is, but it's cool because obviously AI is going to think[No speech] Just wow.
Oh my gosh. Quick question.
Yeah.
So on Replit, do you know if there's a way to limit Replit so that it doesn't like burn through too many credits too quick? Is there a way to like limit the usage of their credits?
You know, not really. A little bit differently every time. Even one word difference, even the same words are going to produce different results. You can also say like, try again, you know. But that's really cool. I love what you've got there. See, that's The best way to manage the usage is to, is to be specific in your task requirement. Yeah, right. Because what happens sometimes to me is it'll do, you know, $2 of work. That's really fun.
I think that's a cool— and all the planets go like woo woo kind of a thing.
Yeah, yeah, they're kind of going in and out. Yeah, so work when I leave for 30 minutes because I give it something really big because it created— while I'm looking at other people's ideas, I want you to go back into Grok and say like, uh, make sure moons are represented, right? With planets that have too many moons, you know, figure out a solution its own problem that it then tries to create a fancy solution to fix. Yeah. For that. You don't even have to give it the solution, right? Or, you know, and say, hey, make it— it just does weird stuff, right? And so it's better to babysit it right now. There's some things like like I've got it figured out, right? It's all about prompt engineering. It's all about figuring out how to say the right thing and also give it explicit instructions, make it more I don't know, whatever. Make the background spinning, right? Make the background spinning. Not to do specific things. Right? Like when I get into a project, sometimes it'll be like, I'm trying to fix this issue. I'll say, ignore this issue for now. I want you to only focus slowly. The star is spinning in the background. Play with it. Make it more, more exciting. All right. Who wants to go next? On this. As soon as you are done with this, report back to me. Gotcha. Right? It's almost like talking to an employee, right?
Like, you have[No speech] Michael, what about you? Yeah, let me share my screen. I decided I'm going to change it because I didn't like it that much.
That's a— to give it really explicit instructions, but the better the instructions, The better the output, and the better the output, the cheaper it's going to be because you're not going to have to spend time fixing it.
Basically, and from context, if you'll just forgive me for saying this, a developer would spend days trying to get a basic project spun up, and if it cost me $2, oh,[No speech] Yeah, I made a visualization that peaches falling from the sky and then they turn into cans of peaches once they hit a conveyor belt.
Uh, Let's see it. Yeah, um, so you're not sharing. You might— you started— it looked like you were starting sharing and then you canceled it, but—
oh my goodness sakes, the clouds should part and rays of sunshine should come down and I should You hear angels singing, right? It's—
I, I would easily spend $2 for that. Yep, absolutely. That's the cool thing is if you— this is back to the discussion we were having earlier, right? I go and raise $13 million, all my investors get, you know, I don't know why it's[No speech] That keeps kicking you out. I'm not sure why. Figure out why you can't share screens, and I want to come back. I want to see your peaches, peaches game. Uh, Carter, did you build about their money back, basically $10 million, you know, plus they also got some equity, so it's not fully done yet. Something cool? Um, I understand they might end up with $20 million, but the point is, think about this, the stress and still working on mine actually.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get everything working.
That's fine, you keep working at it, bud. Jordan? Complexity and how many people want to sue you when you're dealing with money. Like, if it's $2 or $10 bucks or $200 bucks, like Who cares, right? Now, you don't want to be wasteful. You want to be efficient and you're asking the right question, but, but to Nate's point, like this is, this is a whole new—
what about you? Okay.
I just, let's see. So let me, is that playing field. Like, you can get to a point where you can sell a product in, in days for $100, right?
As Michael, you know, told us and shared with—
is that working? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm seeing that now. Okay, what'd you build?
Hey, you built your app, right? I wanna, I wanna build the Planner version of my app kind of the way I want it, right?
And so just this earlier, and, and I've done that now a few times. I've helped a few companies do this now. Anyway, so cool. Caleb, you had a question.
I saw your hand raised. Yeah, have you tried different code generators? I know there's like Bolt and Lovable that are pretty popular.
Have you tried— no, I have.
I've tried all of them.
Figured I'd start there, so put that piece in there. And if you click on something, does it work? Good question. Yep. Nice. Type in something. I want to see what happens when you type in a folder. You can just type whatever. ASDF doesn't matter. Okay, now new note. All right, guys, we got just a couple more minutes here on this part of the project. Yeah, maybe open that. Can you like, can you like double-click on it? Or maybe, yeah, maybe click new note after you click on it. Project, um, Carter's has a youth activity tonight. And then just say, I, you know, I love these, or I don't know, whatever. Right now, I believe Replit is in the lead. Have you heard of Manus? Anybody here heard of Manus? Yeah, Manus is getting all the hype right now. It's from China.
Do you know what Manus is?
Replit on deep— on what their— Deepseek? No, it's not. It's not actually. It turns out that it's built— I love food. Cool. Now can you drag that and move on? Claude Sonnet 3.0 or 3.7 Sonnet. Which is what Replit is built on, right? And when you watch all those videos of like, oh, it did this and it made this whole planet, did this, what do you think? Headed to the temple. So he's going to be taken off. But he was just telling me about his dinosaur game that he's built. And that's what he's decided his, you know, his thing that he's going to work on. He's going to like really build out his dinosaur game. So he's been just sitting there working on it the whole time. It's doing right here, right? Let's, let's read through what it had to do and we're going to spin it around. Nope. Okay. So now what I want you to do is go back into, we're gonna talk about for a second. This is one of the topics. So we're, we're knocking off one of my bullet points. That's fun. All right. Anybody have any questions one-on-one? Grok and say, hey, make it so that I can move, you know, when, when we create a new object, a new folder or a new note, I wanna be able to drag them around and, or change the organization. Right here. Chain of thought. Chain of thought reasoning. Move it around? No. Okay. So now what I want you to do is go back into Grok and say, hey, make it so that I can move, you know, when, when we create a new object, a new folder or a new note, I want to be able to drag them around and or change the organization. Right? Okay. So try that. Go ahead and stop sharing. Okay. Is the most advanced state that AI is in today. What it means is it can take one idea, one instruction, break it down into subtasks, and then make plans for each of those subtasks. With some of those subtasks, they want to do really quick on this, having their own subtasks, right? So for example, no worries if you don't, You don't have to, just offering. Okay. And then, Jenny, we're gonna jump over to you. Where is stop sharing? It's just at the bottom.
Let's see here.
So we actually did it on a different computer.
That's okay.
I can't really share the screen. Tell us about it. Let's say, let's do chain of thought reasoning that we do every day without even thinking about it. Okay. So try that. Go ahead and stop sharing. Okay. And then, Jenny, we're gonna jump over to you. Where is stop sharing? So, I, I need to get ready. I woke up, I got ready, I need to the bottom.
Um, let's see here. Um, so we actually did it on a different computer.
Need to get ready, right? Well, that's easy for us, right? Oh yeah. Well, what do we do? Well, let's break it down. Well, normally we're gonna shower, we're gonna brush our teeth, we're gonna do our makeup.
Did you make something work?
Yeah, well, we just copied yours. That's fine. Do you have— I mean, did you make solar systems? Yeah. Okay, so very cool. Has everybody got— Carter hasn't gone yet. Carter, you figured out yet, or are you still working on it? I am still working. Where are you stuck? If you're that kind of guy. I'm just kidding. You're going to do your makeup. You're going to brush your hair. You're going to— I'm going to let you guys keep working on this. I'm going to keep talking to your AI and I'm just going to kind of talk in the back. Go to the bathroom. You're going to maybe you weigh yourself in the morning. Maybe it's part of getting around for a minute here. And I'm going to do it while sharing my screen. And I know this is going to take over your screen for just a second when I do this, but I want you to see. I want, I want to know where you're stuck because it's still helpful for everybody to learn what's not working. So I have a game almost like ready, you do 20 push-ups. Maybe you go on a quick walk. Maybe you like to walk outside, and that's okay. They don't really share the screen.
Tell us about it. Whoever made the zombie game, but it's like creatures that are in—
just a little bit.
Um, did you make something work?
Um, yeah, well, we, we just copied yours. That's fine. Drink a, you know, a cup of hot chocolate or some OJ, whatever.
You have your getting ready routine, but you break that down in a lot of shape. An oval with like a blocky end and a— or triangle, and that are trying to chase you, but it keeps getting it like it's a square on one side and then a triangle on the other side with an oval just straight in the middle of it.
So are you things? Well, let's look at the shower. Okay, hey, When I get in the shower, I need to wash my hair with shampoo. You telling that to Grok? Are you saying, hey, this is what's not working, please fix it? Do you have— I mean, did you make solar systems? Yeah. Okay, so very cool. Has everybody gone? Carter hasn't gone yet. Carter, you figured out yet, or are you still working on it? Oh, and I'm going to get some body wash, and I'm going to, you know, I like to sit on my little thing and just kind of steam for a minute. Whatever. You've got your routine. That is broken down about how I went through figuring out. No, I haven't yet.
Do that.
Do that. So go ahead and go on mute again and keep working at it. That's awesome. So guys, the point is here, I know that, I know that Caleb's a developer, but the rest of us here are not. So part, part of, part of what I've talked about here is, um, part of the purpose of the course is not just to learn how to use Replit. Replit's cool. Not right. We're, we're, we're not. I, I don't know how to do what we just did without AI. I have no idea how to build that. I don't even know how it works. Honestly, I could spend time. And so getting ready is actually a bunch of chain of thought reasoning of smaller broken down tasks. I am still working. Where are you stuck? Really, a lot of it is around how do you build than in tasks. And AI, up until not very long, if I wanted you to go in and be like, okay, please explain to me why each line does what it does. I want, I want to know where you're stuck because it's still helpful for everybody to learn what's not working. Long ago, let's say 6 months ago, was mostly just, okay, you asked me to do something, I went and did it. What's next? Instead of saying, okay, If I wanted to do that, I could start to understand all this code. I'm going to go back into my desktop here. I could understand, hey, when you wrote this add sparkle stuff, what does this mean? If random is greater than 0.8. You asked me to do something, but because of this, I think there's actually like 10 things I need you to do. When we were watching Grok think about—
we're going to go back to the—
I have a game almost like, um, our business in a weekend, right? Because the business is more than just the product history here. I'm gonna go to top stocks for investment. You can actually look at its thought process. The request is for a detailed analysis of the top 5 stocks to invest. I'm— the business is the logo. It's the name, it's the domain, right? The web address, right? It's the— this works. So this is my cool, you know, version now, right? That's neat. But what does this mean? Explain it to me. If you're curious, a curious learner, you can take the time to do that or you can just say, okay, great. Right now, maybe you're like, man, I really love this. I think this is really cool. I could use this in my business website. Well, thinking about how to find stocks based on recent performance and analyst recommendations. Since today is March 18th, only— it's the social profiles if needed, right? It's content that's on the— look for current data. Let's check for recent articles. Great. Searching, searching, searching. Hey, I found this. Do you need to know how to use it in your business website? No, you don't. Watch this. I'm going to copy this and I'm going to go back to Replit and I'm going to say please integrate whoever made the zombie game, but it's like creatures that are in the following p5.js code onto my testimonials page. Article. Here's another one. Here's another one. Here's another one. I read it. Now I'm going to evaluate them. This, this, this, this, this, this, this. Right now I'm going to clarify and see what the best way is to do this and We don't have to go through the whole process, but you can see it's thinking the shape of an oval with like a blocky end and a more triangle and that are trying to chase. Awesome. All I did was copy and paste. I copied the code from here. I came in here, pasted it. It, you know, this is, this is that. And now it's considering options. It's going to figure out how to deal with this. Oh, hey, we don't have the p5.js library installed onto your website. Let me do that. Breaking those steps down and then delivering on each of those and then putting it all together in a beautiful summary for you. Those social profiles, you can use AI to do all of these things. Now unfortunately, we don't have quite yet, right? Manus is starting to, you know, allow to do this a little bit. That Manus, M-A-N-U-S, by the way, guys, for those of you that don't know, it's just mind-blowing what is possible today. But here inside of Replit, hey, I'll help you integrate this code on your testimonials page. Let's start by installing the p5.js library. So for me as a user and someone who— I'm someone who I like to kind of watch and learn. But it keeps getting it like it's a— We'll just do a quick Google search on it right now.
Man, it's—
Right.
Square on one side and then a triangle on the other side with an oval just straight in the middle of it.
So are you really quick? Now it installs a library. A library is, is basically it's installing the infrastructure it needs to be able to run that kind of code on your site, right? And then it's probably gonna be like, hey, I don't even know if I've built the testimonials page. It's gonna build that and then it's gonna put that on there. It's gonna be like, I don't really understand why I'm doing this. So it might be a little confused because I'm like, oh, okay, there's a p5.js library that has to be installed on a website for it to work properly. Perfect. Now let's check the existing testimonials component. So now it's gonna look at What is this page doing? Right? Okay, great. I'm going to integrate this into the testimonials page. Let's first install the library. Now let's check the file to see how to best do this. Now let's create an— it's trying to build me a website that is, you know, focused on, you know, our course that we're doing. But maybe I can use that and say, hey, you know, the reason for this is because I want to show how easy it is to build something. So show the code, show what I did, whatever. Whatever. Anyway, so that is your first— good job, everybody. It, it builds— it's like a whole business in a box. It's amazing. I've already signed up to be— and I, I'm on the, um, the waitlist. You have— it's not available publicly yet, but you can see some people. If you animation component to the testimonial section, now let's update this to include our space animation. Let's also install— oh, hey, we need something else. We need a TypeScript type definition, right? So it's something that allows for that type of code to be inserted there, right? Because there's a type error. It found an error and said, oh, I know what the error is. We need to— you all just built your first, you know, code. For me, that's fun. Go on YouTube or if you go on Twitter or X or LinkedIn, you might come across people talking about, right, being able to use AI and build something that all of a sudden works.
Nick, you have a question? Yeah, I was actually just going to say I've project managed developers before.
Install this to get rid of that error. Fantastic. Hey, it looks like there's still an issue with nested a tags in the footer. Let's fix that. That's actually where Replit is.
It's left the current. And this is easier than standup calls.
I'm My mind is blown. Ask, and it's going back to something it was previously messed with, right? But it fixed it. Great. Are there any similar problems here? Okay, we're doing good. Let's check to see if there's any applications or any, any problems. Great, it works. That's all I wanted to say. Talk about that a little bit more. Why is it easier than a standup call, you know, when you're managing the developer, right?
Well, I mean, like, what a standup call is when it—
because normally there's a specialized skill for somebody who understands showing how unbelievable it is, um, at just doing things. And so it can do— it, it's a chain of thought agent that's using Claude. It's using the same thing that Replit uses behind the scenes, but it's more general instead of just how to manage developers to get them to develop the specific out— focusing on the, uh, the, the software piece, it can— fantastic. By the way, our deployment is now live, right? I could share this with anybody, but now anyone can click on this and, you know, it's not, it's not done, but this is what we've built from that the client wants.
Um, and out of necessity and because I'm a scrappy entrepreneur, I did that role to save myself some money. And, uh, the, the, the level of detail that you have to give to a developer because they're a customer.
So far, right? Fantastic. I've got my shooting star. I think it's cool. I'm going to keep that there for a while.
So, um, to, to having what they do very tightly controlled, it's like, do—
starting to make sense a little bit, starting to come together, at least, you know, at a very high level. All right, now we really are going to take some time and do just a little bit of basic vocabulary around what's happening here. Because as you're reading or seeing a lot of those things, you might be like, I just don't understand what he's saying when he says this thing, right? They can do all these other things as well, but for now you're going to have to just kind of think through that.
But you do this version of red, not that version of red. It's, it's a super micromanaged space because otherwise sometimes if, if you have a really good developer, they will be curious and they'll sometimes go off on a tangent and they could waste weeks doing something that is a technological curiosity but won't give you the outcome that you need as a business.
And so have a lot of amazing tools available to help you do that. So you've all thought of a business idea now, maybe, right? Or you're starting to think of one, you're starting to get an idea. So again, we're staying very high level. You can, you can go deeper into this. I'm going to provide this document to you. And you can say, hey ChatGPT, this step right here, it really goes all the way until tomorrow at 3 PM. Explain this to me like I'm a 3-year-old, right?
You can do that too, right? Oh, they're, they're accustomed to being extremely micromanaged, and if you ask their advice, in a lot of cases they won't give it because they're like, I'm just going to do whatever you want. It's like, well, no, tell me if I'm, if I'm suggesting the right thing, right?
And so just watching what you can tell, rep, like I'm a 10-year-old, maybe you're, maybe you're there. That's fine. You can do that later and you can really understand it.
Or ask Grok in just plain language.
It is stunning to me. And you're not going to remember everything, but at least seeing some of these words, you're going to be like, okay, so I, I have, you know, decades of experience being the CEO of software company.
How it can actually figure out all the code without getting into more detail than that. You're using a plain language statement. This is already much better than I was hoping it would be, honestly. I don't know if I'm talking too much. I don't want to take up too much time because I want to do more.
My mind is blown already. This is unbelievable. I've paid developers. Nate has paid and managed developers. Michael has, Jordan has, some of these other people have. Um, you know, Kim, all right, tomorrow at 3 PM, I want you to have a business idea that we're going to build. We're going to start really building it tomorrow, right? You can, you can, we might set up Replit tonight. You can start to do it if you feel like you're there. But the reality is I want you to have this ready by— Caleb is a developer, right? And so he understands all of this implicitly. But when you're around that language, you start to understand like, oh, HTML is is, is the front. It's tomorrow. I want you to think, and even if you're not going to do it, you know, really good. Yeah. And by the way, you have to think of your age, like what I see on a website type thing, right? CSS is talking about like the font size. And as an employee, that can get lost as well. Right. And so sometimes when I'm watching it, I'll say, by the way, let's check this. Let's click on it. Testimonials. Look at this. Look at this background. Look how cool that is. I'm totally keeping this and the colors, right? You can dive in deeper. I'm not going to go into HTML, CSS, JavaScript. We're not going to go into what all those things are. What I want you to just recognize is, okay, we've got frontend client-side development, right? Sometimes you'll hear, I'm a frontend developer. Great. That means that developer, his job is to work with things that you can see. The front end, right? The back end is backstage, right? It's like, it's just like a play, right? You've got to go all out and start, you know, Jenny'sRecipes.com. That's okay, right? Can you guys all see my site? I have this cool interactive p5.js back. You've got the backdrop there. Everything that's in front of the backdrop, the audience can see. I want you to pursue the idea and build it up to where we can actually have it. And maybe you do want to do it. Maybe you say, hey, I do want to do it. Want to do this and maybe it's just going to be for fun for now. But, and it looks awesome. But behind there, you've got some behind the scenes stuff. Maybe you've got some special effects, maybe background on the testimonials page. So it assumed, oh no, it's down here. Oh, it's not even a testimonials page. It's just a section of my homepage. But look how cool that is. So now I'm on my website and people are going to come down and be like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. You've got the orchestra. Maybe you've got, you know, people operating, you know, pulleys and things at a play. So the front side, the front end is what you can see. Okay? And it's going to click anywhere in the space animation to create shooting stars. Now I could add another little thing here that says, by the way, maybe it will turn into something big as I start to put these recipes out there. Okay? So there's a lot. This little background was built with AI in seconds. Here's how you could do it. Right? Render or display the user interface or the UI. You'll hear UI. I think that's so fun. I want to try this on mobile. In fact, I want to see what it looks like. UI a lot or UX, user experience and user interface, UI and UX. Going to handle user input, forms, clicking, navigation. Those are the things that you're going to navigate, you're going to click, and you're going to input things. Pretty much everything comes down to those three. I'm going to do this really quick. I can just click here. We're gonna go down, interactions, and then you're going to communicate with the backend via APIs. An API is basically a, a word for a connector. We're gonna connect the frontend to something. So if I got a pieces you'll have to put together, but for me, I knew that I wanted to build this AI testing idea. I'd talked to people about it already. I had people said, yeah, that's a really good idea. And what about about this, why don't you try this thing. I'd already kind of worked through a lot of that brainstorming in my head. Go to my website here, uh, here we'll go this one right here that's loaded. Look at my cool little p5.js! I'm a developer, I made something cool! What happens if I click over this? Oh, it doesn't even get in the way.
That overlay doesn't get in the way of it.
That is amazing. So cool. I didn't even give it instructions. I just said, yeah, just put it here in this, right? If I sign out Then I click login right here. Here's my username. Now I've got section and it just figured I'm going to do this. We're going to teach you guys now. We're going to take it, we're going to take it, let it save and whatever. But I'm typing and clicking here, typing it. When I got here, I was like, okay, I need to do this and I want it to be in clicking here and then I'm going to click sign in. When I click sign in, it's going to send my inputs to a database and say, hey, does this username— give it a break from coding for a second, and we're going to teach you just a little bit of language around coding. Hey, it's not all just finished. You got it working? Can you share your screen and show us really quick, Carter? We'd love to see it. Let me click stop.
We'd love to see what you built. Okay, I'm just trying to figure out how to do that.
Yeah, exist. Yes, great. Does the password match that username in the database? So right at the bottom of your screen, you just click share. Yes. Great. Welcome. Right. You're in. If it doesn't, then, hey, this login successful thing won't come up. It'll say, sorry, wrong password, try again. Okay. It's official. Right. And so my first element here was so very basic, very basic stuff here, but it communicates. Okay, I need I need a good name. I want to just walk you through what I did here. I had APIs. Now APIs are very important. I don't know if it covers— if I cover them a lot more. Yeah, we do cover more lately, but I'm going to give you just a high-level thing right now so you can come back to it later. An API, you see that? Share? Yeah, on Zoom. Go into Zoom and then click Share. Yes. Carter had started screen sharing. Amazing. Game over. You were eaten. Press R to restart. All right, let's see.
Let's see you play the game. So I have created like a dinosaur game where you have 3 different dinosaurs chasing after you and you're just trying not to get eaten.
Connects one thing to another. It can connect the front end to the back end like we just talked about. And I, I knew that I wanted— because it was a certification thing, I determined that I wanted it to be demonstrated.
It can also connect the backend to another backend. And if you get tagged, it has a game over sign at the end, so you can just restart.
What if you connect a database to another database, right? For example, what if you want to accept a payment?
So somebody on your website enters—
start and keep playing whenever you want. All right, who here has young kids? Anybody? Anybody else? Yeah, wouldn't you much rather— wouldn't you be happy to have your credit card number and expiration date and all of the information that's needed? They click submit, then via an API, because you don't want to be responsible for this, um, like an institute or something like that, right? So the AI— so it's playing games if they built them, just to like open their mind and expand their mind instead of just sitting there building something else. They have to work through this code and this problem-oriented names, right? I just said, hey, let's start with a good name. I was thinking this could be a test from the AI Institute or something like that. Maybe the AI Aptitude Institute. Stripe, a very popular payment processor, is solving. And great, you built this fun little game. That's cool. Now Carter, you could, you could log in, or if you see in the top right, you can log in or sign up. Don't click click it, right? But in the top of your screen is an expert. They've figured out all the security issues. You don't want to deal with, with payment stuff. That's really, really hard. So we rely on somebody else that's already built that and spent billions. AI, AI, which would have been so cool. AI, AI.org. That would have been awesome. Right there it says log in or sign up. You can actually sign up and you can save your projects. So you could save tens of dollars perfecting that technology. And so we just connect to their API. And we say, hey, hey, I actually like this one, I'm going to save it, come back to it later. Now I'm going to try something else. Back to Grok, let's go something. If I send you credit card information, you process it, we go with something, right? So cool. Carter's looking up Harry Potter spell list over here. I want— that's amazing, he's using his imagination to create something cool. All right, go ahead and stop sharing your screen. I love it. Proof that a 12-year-old— what are you, 12, Carter? 13 this year. And then just send me back what happened. Was it processed? Yes or no? And how much for? Great. Transaction successful. Then my system says, well, girl can do this as well. And quite frankly, my daughter was in here. She's 10. But the API is actually what I wanted, api.org. And it just was. If I receive a transaction, a transaction successful message from Stripe, available, right? So sometimes you have to come up with those ideas, check the domain, and, you know, do, do what you can, right? I really liked, as we got here, AI proficiency. She 10 or is she 11? No, she's 11 this month, right? Yeah, she's 11 this month in like a week. Anyway, she is, she built a, a little matching game. I can release the product to the user, right? I can give them access to the course. Using, using AI, using ChatGPT. She went back and forth and she actually built the institute. AIPI focuses on measuring AI-related skills, right? Tested it on, I think just on JavaScript, and she pulled up a JavaScript thing and ChatGPT, of course, I can send them the thing. I can start the process to, you know, hey, an order has come through and you've been successfully paid and all that stuff, right? So APIs help you connect anything. Your own internal stuff and maybe external stuff. Great. Hold on, where to go? Copy this, paste here and this paste here and change this logic on this and make it. Because like you were talking about, Nate, you're just using natural language. Any questions before we move on from frontend? Pretty straightforward. Deciphers and understands what you mean or it thinks you mean. Now that can be backend server-side development, right? Some people might say, I'm a backend developer. Some people, like Caleb said in the beginning, might say, I'm a full stack. Dangerous sometimes, but the bottom line is that it enables anybody to be able to do what you want. Occasionally I'll be inside Replit here and I'm watching it focus, focus names, right? AIAT, AIrt, AIFT. And it's like, okay, I'm going to now build a testing environment where I can test this thing. And it just like starts building some huge stack. Developer, which means he does front end and back end. He understands how it all works and he can code and manipulate and do all that cool stuff, right? Replit would be a full stack, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? So I liked a few things, talked about it. I said I want it to be very academic so it can be eventually adopted as a standard. I want to charge fees for AI. Just annoying. I didn't ask you to do that. Pause and I'll ask it, I'll say curriculum, they can take a course and so I want to make sure it's not just a test, everything. It's basically the behind-the-scenes logic as well as say, do you think it's important to build this test environment or is there another easier way? You can use databases that tell the front end how to act and do that. You're right, I shouldn't do that. It can actually like, go off on its own tangent. But if you do this, then this happens. You really can break down most things into if-then statements, right? If the username and password are not matching in the database, the cool thing is here we have spent a grand total of $1.75 paying this employee working at this. Now, Replit, the way that Replit works, we'll take a second to just kind of go over this. The ways then send an error message, and they're not all written as if-thens, but That's how a lot of initial, you know, early coding happened was a lot of if this, then that, if this, then that, if this, then that. And you had really complex things and it got too hard. So they built better, better systems today that Replit works is based on usage, right? And there's a lot of different things Replit can do everything for you. It can handle the front end, do it. A few of the languages that you'll use in the back end, Python, Flask, Django. This is pronounced Django and the back end and the databases. And we're going to talk about what all that means. And, you know, I've spent two, but it's also whatever, right? And so just kept going back and forth with these ideas, read through them. Okay, I like this, I like that. Hey, and then I said, hey, please do a quick Google search on these names to see what you can find, right? See, or to see if anybody else is already doing something like this. $121 this month in this, but I'm building like hardcore things. And Violent D, you know, it's just there for fun. Node.js, Express, Postgres, and I found a couple things that are, you know, but, but really there's almost nobody using it a lot. If you pay for Replit, you pay $25 and that basically gives you $25 of credit. If you pay for an annual license, it's only $180. And so that means you pay $15 for your first $25 every month, right? So you pay $180 today. SQL, this is a database language, Firebase, um, and a lot of these languages a lot of these systems are available there as hosting services through popular things like Microsoft Azure. You'll get $25 of credit every single month for the next 12 months. That credit can be used towards development, which is what we're doing right here. Every time we get Amazon Web Services or AWS, and there's a lot of different ones. Google's going to do a rollback checkpoint right here. Costs $0.25. Okay. There's a cheaper version where you can get into what's assistant, right? Where you can say, hey, got their own. And there's, there's a lot of services, a lot of private ones. And I mean, heck, you can even build your own if you really want to be crazy. But usually people are going to integrate with something simple. Now, the cool thing about Replit is they do it all for you. Now you can see all these different things I've got measuring AI proficiency. Of just general employees or things like that. I said, okay, that's cool. Domain of tell me or please look at the P5 availability is hard. It didn't do a great job at searching for that. I said, okay, I'm just going to go into GoDaddy. How many of you have not a JS implementation and tell me if there's anything we can do to improve it so that it doesn't slow down the site. Now here's— I'm going to add something here. If it is already well implemented, you can say that as well. Now the difference with the agent— a few different apps inside of here and you can see how much How many agent checkpoint, which is what we've been using here, and the assistant is the agent is just going to get to decide use on each of these different things. Then you can see the cost accrued for my storage. How much am I storing on these different projects? What's my outbound data transfer? Look how cheap it is, $0. Now my auto-scale deployment, hey, work unless you tell it explicitly not to. The assistant is going to listen, it's going to look, and then it's going to talk to you, and then it's going to suggest an improvement. Purchased a domain before? Okay, Jenny and Rosanne, it's like everybody else has, right? And that's fine. It's super easy, right? Purchasing a domain if you've never done it before might seem difficult, but it's really not. First of all, if you— looks like we've done a few things that have required some autoscale deployments, right? It's cost me $1.84 this month, if there is one. And say I think you could do this to improve it. Would you like to do that? Yes. Go again. Very cheap, right? $0.24 down here for PostgreSQL storage, right? Which is just my data. But for every, you know, commit that it's doing over here, it's only $0.05. So an assistant could be used to change something like, hey, I want you to rewrite all the language on this thing and it could still be a pretty CygnaBase and all my stuff that I have. I've paid $0.24 this month and then compute, right? Okay, we're doing a lot. Dream Crazy is going nuts in here. In here doing a lot of stuff. Right? So $20. Don't know how to do it? Where do you go? Ask ChatGPT. How do I buy a domain? How do I, how do I buy a website? $27 of compute, and that's because we're running a bunch of things. You don't have to understand what all these things are. Everything could rewrite the whole, you know, homepage. But it's much, much cheaper to use the assistant. But the bottom line is you've got basically front end and back end and Replit. And sometimes I have found that the agent is so smart these days, I'm not going to the assistant as much. I used to go to the assistant to do small changes, but the assistant can get lost sometimes. The agent now just thinks so many things. We're going to talk about how it's very convenient, although I will say it is more expensive to do it in Replit than if you were to do it in AWS. That's okay. Part of what we're trying to do here is build prototypes. You could theoretically run an entire business on here, and I am planning on running my Gen AI, right? But GoDaddy.com is a very, is a very solid one. I also used to like Google Domains. I used to love buying my domains from Google because it was all integrated with emails and things like that. Now you have to do it— efficiency thing— all through Replit, just to prove that I can do it, right? But it's a little bit more expensive. Does that second. So it says here, it says, hey, there's a few optimizations we can make to improve performance. Performance. Key optimizations made: pre-calculated orbit paths instead of drawing them every frame. Cool. Reduced unnecessary stroke, no stroke calls, simplified planet rendering by removing the wobbly effect, added bounds, checking for mouse events, cached common calculations. And the reason for that is their Replit is buying AWS compute power and then reselling it to me, so they're going to mark it up a right? So it's obviously gonna be a little bit more expensive, but the convenience of not having— you have to buy domains through Squarespace. I like using GoDaddy because I just think they've got a lot of things figured out. Having to configure all of those things and manage many accounts and try to understand how it'll move— redundant shape creation, optimized shooting star rendering. You're like, I don't really know, I'm going to trust that it's pretty good, let's try it. Now here's the cool thing, we're going to apply all Apply changes. And so what it did is it added 28 lines and it took away 34 lines. I can actually click on it to see what those changes were. Now, if I'm a developer like Caleb, it all fits together. Unbelievable.
Unbelievable. This is an amazing deal. Yeah.
You're going to save money not having to pay DevOps guys to do all that stuff and time. Precisely. Precisely. And you can make it more efficient too. You can say, hey, My cost on this element is too expensive. I'd be like, okay, this is cool. All right, what's it doing here? Okay, it's removing that. Okay, these are just notes. Okay, why did it change that? Okay, that's a lot. Okay, great, perfect, whatever. Now you know you can close that out. You can look at the console. Expensive, Replit. How can we optimize the system to not do as many? You can leave this progress. Um, now here's something that happened, although I will warn you, if you use GoDaddy, they will try to sell you a whole lot of stuff. Right. And so for, for AI, you know, the AI Institute, I did, I did my thing. I figured out genaiapi.org, right? And I'm going to teach— I'm going to backfill all this, but I'm just going to do this. I'm going to talk about it as I do it. Whenever I see an, you know, requests here, and it will, it'll optimize it for you and reduce your costs, your ongoing costs. Okay. So backend responsibilities, processing data, handling authentication, which is like logging in and security. Communicating with databases. I eventually kind of worked through it. I said, hey, should I do a.org, right? Hey, yeah, using this error like this come up, I just take a quick screenshot and I drag it into the chat here and I say the attached error happened. Okay, so sometimes the assistant will break something because it doesn't look at it as in-depth as that. And then managing business logic, calculating prices, storing user actions, lots of things like that, right? The agent— this is why I don't use the assistant as much anymore, but it still can do some things, right? But it's saying, okay, front end and back end, pretty, pretty straightforward. You don't have to have a deep understanding of it. You just have to understand, okay, if I have a form, that form has to be processed somehow. Sometimes you can even process it in the front end, but you have to do that very— and hey, I could still— okay, it should have done this. Let's fix this by using the p5.js instance properly. So it's going to apply. Now sometimes when I see a +9, -9, right, you have to say, okay, I'm going to store this in the memory, but as soon as I click refresh, it's gone. I just check it to see if it's doing the exact same thing. Update and draw planets. That's credibility, especially if you wanted to be seen as authoritative, academic, or research-based, right? The.org Or it could be really, really good, right? And it turned out that that's actually worked really well as I, as I landed my first client with the, with the Utah County. It just, right. So there's little things like that you'll just learn over time and some of you might never, never get into that, but you just have to know what's possible. So databases and SQL, SQL is, yeah, it did change some things. Okay, apply all. Perfect. Now fit. Nobody had any questions. It was like, oh yeah, you're an institute and a.org and you have this. They don't care. Okay, now we can come back and here it is. It made it more efficient. I can still click on it. If I click up here, it's not going to work. If I click down here, it's not going to work. If I click here, so it added some bounds to it. I don't know if it was messed up before, but hey, we've now got a new system. Most people will say SQL. I hear some people say SQL and that's fine. I say SQL. That's what I've heard developers say my whole life. Databases store more efficient. It's not going to take up as much memory and we've got a structured information. Okay, so we'll come in here. I don't even know if we have— I'm going to click on here on database, see my data. I'm just a piece of my website here that I think is pretty cool and I'm actually super excited about it. Okay, now, um, Yeah, we haven't jumped into any of this stuff yet. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to get in there soon. All right. They're not like, well, how long have you been around and how many people have you done? They don't care. They're just like, oh, you can— I don't think we have any data yet. Yeah, we don't have any data yet in this. So that's fine. That's fine. We'll have an event. Give us some proficiency and you can give us some solutions. We need this. Great. And so the things that I put in there, a lot of entrepreneurship in the— actually, here, we'll do this. Please create an authentication. Now we're going to take— by the way, if you guys ever need to take a break, you need to get some water, you go to the bathroom, like just— um, system that uses a database to store usernames and passwords. Beginning, especially with your first customers, is you can take two approaches. Turn off your camera really quick. Take off, you can say in the chat, hey, be right back, right? And come back, right? I am recording this. I will be able to send it all to you. I will send it all to you at the end. So you'll be able to be like, oh, I missed that section in there, or, you know, our words. So that users, whoops, can have access to course content. Really had to go to bed. Don't like, kill yourself and just step away for a minute, come back. We'll keep going. So in a minute here, we will have a database, right? It's going to spin up a SQL database. All right. What we're going to do right now— we're here to grind. There's no break. And or maybe it already has. And now, but now it's going to start building some tables and it's going to— breaks. You can grind too. That's my style. By the way, I have snacks here. This is, I don't know, a Snickers peanut butter crunchy thing. I don't know. It's probably not healthy., but it's going to keep me going. I've got some jerky over here. You will see me eating. But hey, let's create a user table and it's going to have different fields. So I'll show that in a second after it. One is, hey, you're my first customer. I want to work through this, right? I think Michael did that, right? When he went to, when he went to some of these technology transfer offices, which I've actually worked with before, right? I think they're really cool. You can go to a, you guys are talking sometimes. Eating is encouraged in this course.
Eating and drinking is what comes up. Go ahead, Nate.
Um, each time you type something, as long as, you know, you're not drunk drinking, that's, we'll avoid that for this class at least.
Something in there, that's a checkpoint.
That's 25 cents basically, right? Nope. Nope. It's, it's, um, so you can be focused. We want a sharp mind. All right. And I don't know if anybody on here is doing that anyway. So I'm going to jump in here and we're going to go into a university and say, hey, I want to look at the technologies you have available that people haven't— Pretty crazy. Sometimes it is, other times it will do 2 checkpoints in one big long task because it like finishes half of it and it's like, I need to do this. The checkpoint is— So I've got this kind of build a business in a weekend folder that I'm going to share with you guys. I'll put it together in a nice way. In fact, I might actually upload a lot of it into a is to protect so that you can roll back to a certain spot. If you mess, if you mess up, you want to be users section where you guys will all have been like paid users. You've already got access to the course. I might actually build that over the next 3 days and upload all of the content from these into those sections so that you guys have to be able to roll back. That's really what the checkpoint is for, but it's also, Nate, it's used yet and you can license it from them and build a business off of somebody else's idea. And the business, you know, you'll, you'll pay, you know, like BYU, for example, has their own off— it's using AI credits, right? You can go in there and you'll pay BYU a royalty, but they'll give you an idea and you can then easy access. You just log in with username and password and you have access to the Build a Business in a Weekend stuff. And so as it, it basically, okay, I just used 10,000 But what I want to do here is we're going to take just a moment and we're going to do— we're going to go through the coding quick start guide for Replit, you know, context, whatever. And so that's $0.20, that's $0.25 or whatever, right? For users, I want you guys to just know what a few terms are. These are very easy for Caleb. He's going to be like, oh my God, go build a business. Ideas, guys, are a dime a dozen. Every time it hits kind of that limit, it just kind of throws it out there, but it creates these checkpoints at reasonable places. It doesn't do it exactly like that. Sometimes it might spend 20 cents of its own money or it might spend 30 cents even though it's charging you 20. I'm so bored. And that's fine. And I'm not even going to read through all of this. We're going to quickly just dive and, but it will put it at logical places where a task hits some highlights so that you know how to talk to Replit because you're going to need to be able to talk to Replit. By the way, task is done. This task is complete. I'm now going to create a checkpoint. Point, right? I've even added— I didn't write this, ChatGPT wrote this, right? It wrote it in over here in the project that I've been working on where it understands, okay, this is all about— go 30 minutes without doing one checkpoint, right? It's just kind of random on what, what you're— what it's doing. And again, the cost, right? In a minute here, I might ask you guys to share some of your ideas, and some of you might be like, but what if someone else takes my idea? Trust me that the idea is almost worthless about, you know, building, building out, you know, these different elements. And here's all the different— are so dang cheap. And I'm not going to try to, you know, figure out why it's doing things. Here's, here's the project. Hey, I'm going to be— I'm going to be talking about this course. And here's— these days, it— you can't even patent an idea or copyright name, whatever. I'm just like, Building. I'm just curious. Yeah, good question. What I'm going to be doing, please help me build some documents for this. I just had it listen to me and then it regurgitates. Databases in SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Firebase, DynamoDB. Some of these are other databases, Firebase, whatever. It all comes down to execution. Who can build it and sell it? They did the important stuff in a nice organized manner. I want to demonstrate this really quickly. We're just inside of Amazon, right? AWS. There's, there's lots of ways to deal with— we're going to go to ChatGPT here and we're going to do just a new, a new thing. And data. There's different reasons for why you would do a SQL database versus a NoSQL database. I'm going to to turn on voice here. So voice just means— so here I can click this button and then I can just start talking to ChatGPT and we'll just have a conversation. Voice is just going to literally— the reality is I couldn't tell you that answer. I bet you Caleb could transcribe what I say. Hello, hello, hello. Right? If you can build it and sell it, you are so valuable because we could sit here together as a group of, you know, 6 or 7 really smart— I bet you Caleb could say, here's why I would do it and here's the situation. As a learner, check. Describe what I say. Hello, hello, hello. Right. It's just going to listen to what aren't people. Look at Carter all dressed up in his white shirt there. Now, let's say— so watch this. You can do this on your Notes app too. But let's say that I have— this is— this is where we're getting into some general We're gonna get back to the coding stuff. I actually, as I'm sitting here teaching you, want to know that answer. And so I can do that. I can say, hey, why would I, I just copy this into here and we're gonna go into a new ChatGPT chat. But I want you guys to understand how I built that document so that you can just understand how incredibly easy it is. I'm talking about farm and I'll just say, why would someone want a SQL versus no SQL? SQL, but you can— we could sit here and we could come up with 100 really good ideas. Database, give me the answer. Unless to be so effective in whatever you're doing for your work. Okay, I live on a farm and occasionally I have to go on vacation. Maybe I can have, you know, you guys can come down and take care of— we've got tons of chickens and we've got You know, we got a horse and then 3 sentences, right? So sometimes, you know, sometimes, you know, we need people to help us when we want to leave for a few days. And so AI won't like go off and teach me a whole course. Sometimes I just want succinct. All right, here we go. SQL is, they could make money by next week. I promise you, so easy. And with, with AI to help, amazing. People are going to need the services businesses. Databases are best for structured data with clear relationships. Right? Like a username and a password. Sometimes people like to come and stay at the farm. So I'm going to create right now in front of you guys a quick password, right? Complex for making them ideal for financial systems, CRM, and enterprise apps. People are going to need this software business. You can, you can say, hey, I want to build, you know, a guide using AI on how to take care of the farm. And here's how I'm going to do it. Okay. So I live on a farm. It's 5 acres and we have 60 chickens. Right next to the road is the house, and then, you know, the property kind of slopes down and the chicken coop is at the far end of the, of the propagation. NoSQL databases excel at handling unstructured or semi-structured data, offering high scalability and flexibility, which suits real-time applications, big data, and dynamic content. Like whatever business is already out there— Airbnb, I want to build Airbnb, but I want to make it social media or IoT. The choice depends on whether you prioritize data integrity. It's really easy to open it. You just kind of turn a handle and you can get into the chicken coop. You can also go on the right side of it and open it up and you can see all the eggs. And, you know, we usually get somewhere between 30 to 60 eggs a day. And so you want to check on that or they'll just pile up into big piles. And integrity and complex querying, SQL or SQL, or scalability and schema flexibility. Yeah, that's cool. So anyway, that and We also have some goats over in the goat house and they need to be fed. And might sound like, you know, Greek to, you know, Roseanne, and that's fine. Um, better. Great. Take the idea, talk to AI, figure out how to make it better. But it's still just an idea. But bottom line is you could say, explain it to me like I'm a— and, uh, we have a horse that actually is at another property that's just a couple blocks away. You just go down the street and head left, and I'll make sure I provide the address for you later. But you just go in there and just make sure that they get some hay and some water. Super easy. Don't have to do anything beyond that. You just throw the hay over the fence. The money comes from actually selling it to someone. And we're not there yet. 3-year-old, right? Like, I'm 5. Okay, so Or you could say, explain it to me assuming I have no understanding, you'll be set there. There's a couple of things to worry about when you're here. Obviously you want to make sure you have a mean of computer technology. Great. Here you go. SQL databases are like a super organized toy box with labeled compartments for each type of toy. We're not to that part of the course yet, but selling it to someone, I have my password and my password is, admin for my network and my, you know, so if you want to be able to get on the Wi-Fi, you can do that. My garage is having some problems right now where when it closes, it kind of clips. You always know where everything is. NoSQL databases are like a big toy chest where you could throw in something and so it thinks that it's running into something and it stops. And so in order to close it, you just have to hold the button down and just make sure any toy without worrying about labels, making it easier to add new kinds of toys. If you want everything neat and easy to find, using is a skill in and of itself, but it can also be automated by AI. AI can teach you how to do it really, really well. So we'll get there, right? It goes all the way down until it's done. So just remember that if you have an electric vehicle, you can just plug into mine there. That's no big deal. Feel free to, you know, park there. You can park in the driveway. SQL— if you want to throw on lots of different toys quickly and find them later, use NoSQL. Awesome. I actually totally understand that better now. So maybe I'm a 5-year-old, maybe that's where my— either in front, or you can go park down kind of below in the farm and kind of hide your car away from the, from the road. So then I asked it, you know, a.org. I actually had a question. I was like, can you use a.org if you're, if you're worried about someone coming and stealing from it? Um, there's a cat that understanding, um, comes in. But basically, if you want to be able to do really robust analytics, you're probably in a SQL database, right? You want to be able to see, all right, how often do my users log in every day. And you know, what, what, what are the patterns of these things? And you want to be able to pull it all together. Whereas if you just for-profit, like I thought maybe.orgs were only for nonprofits. I had that question. I wasn't sure. Is amazing at breaking into the house. And so in order to stop that, have tons of data. You need to be able to pull data up at different times. You might even in, in a given, you have to close the screen door. And you have to make sure that a couple doors are locked downstairs. Basement door in the storage room needs to be locked and the garage door needs to be locked down in the basement as well. And if you do that, the cat won't be able to break in. She's super nice. Her name's Elsie. If you get some tuna or something and put it out— project, have different types of databases for different types of data. Facebook would be a great example of that. They're going to have some things that require more organized things. I was kind of sure, but I just wasn't sure. And so AI said, yeah, hey, no big deal. You can do it. You can use a.org, whatever you want. You can, you can, you can have a nonprofit, you can have some for-profit, but you can be a for-profit. And they're going to have others where it's like, hey, we've got tons of content. Let's take all this content and then throw it at the org. She'll come and she'll love you and she's super nice. She's a little bit skittish, but don't worry about it. Um, there, there's solar power and there's also some irrigation and organized database, right? That's kind of how they do that there. And they have, they even have some more during the summer, you need to make sure that you are checking the irrigation filter. And you do that by just turning off the profit with a.org domain. No problem. And you can use the.org domain to establish credibility. Water, unscrewing the filter, taking it out, and then putting it back in your complex relationships that they deal with in Facebook. Um, but we don't need to go into that. Bottom line is you store data in a database. Simple. Then you can query, right? You can ask the database, hey, how do you go wash it out? And it's just kind of obvious, like just kind of clean it out and then put it back on and turn the water back on and you're done. Okay, so that's really all I need you to know. And, um, yeah, I'm— thanks for— because I think in the beginning, I think.orgs were actually only limited to nonprofits, and now it's for helping out. Okay, so that took 2 and a half minutes. I was not careful about how many lines of code are there, how many users do I have. You know, replace everybody's name about how I organized my thoughts. It was kind of random, right? And it's going to, you know, so here's all of the words, right? So now I'm going to, I'm pushing Shift+Enter so I don't actually give it to it. Shift+Enter just lets me do that. If their name is John Doe, you know, replace it with Jane Doe, you know, whatever, right? You could, you could, you could give it commands to either search or replace or do things like that. The good news is you don't ever have to do that. The way that you would do that is inside Replit, you would say, if I push Enter, it's just going to send it and say, here's this. Here is a description of things that need— Please replace all of the name to be done. When taking care of our farm. Please put it in a simple-to-read guide that is coherent. Of John Doe to Jane Doe, and then it would create all the scripts and run it and you're done. You don't have to worry about what it's doing, right? See, here it's working on a PostgreSQL database, user roles, password hashing, using— super cool. It's doing all kinds of things that you don't need to understand. Um, don't change any facts. Um, all right, connecting the database to Replit, you don't need to worry about that. It'll, it'll take care of it for you. It'll, it'll do all of that. Of course, you could say, hey, you know what, I want to reduce my costs. I'm planning on building something really big. And, and not only that, it is getting— just organize it nicely so that I can leave it with my friends that are watching. Whoops. I'm not, I'm gonna, the farm for me. I'm gonna leave the misspelling really big. And so I need to shift this over to an Amazon database. Boom. Done. So imagine you're doing something at work or you have to leave. You can do that. You can say, hey, Replit, I wanna switch out of the Replit database. Something, you're going on vacation, you need something taken care of and Yeah, you can put together a detailed guide or you can just talk for 2.5 minutes and let ChatGPT nail it. It's done. The guide is finished. Okay, here's the farm care guide. The farm is 5 acres, house near the road, property slips to a database here. Please help me do that. And they'll say, great, and it'll just get to work, right? So APIs and endpoints, we talked about this application programming interface. In other words, it's a connector. They just communicate with each other. All right, sound good. How's all, all on the property? Or we're skipping another property. I'll provide the address, right? So obviously I get up, I need to get data, I need to get information, I need to move things back and forth between two systems. That's like that. I was doing it for a demo purpose right now. Feed the goats daily. Egg, what do you gotta worry about? An endpoint is the place that it goes to get the information, right? The API says, hey, API says, On one end, hey, feeding, things to be aware of, garage door issue, Wi-Fi access, electrical vehicle charging, the cat, Elsie, love bringing into the house, irrigation, solar, do this, final notes, enjoy. Then I can come and go to this API's endpoint, grab the data, and pull it back. I can say, okay, I forgot to mention that the goats need— That's not the case anymore. A lot of people just naturally associate.org with, oh, that's a nonprofit, Oh, this is a legit institution. This is a university. This is, you know, an institute, whatever, right? And so I'm the general, general, I can apply it to anything, artificial intelligence or AI proficiency institute. Water, and so do the chickens. And those endpoints have requirements, sometimes secrets, sometimes passwords, sometimes different things like that. And so That's all we need to say right now. Replit handles all of this for you. They make sure they are fed and watered. They have a system in here. I'm going to, I'm actually going to go over this right now. We'll go over secrets. Secrets is essentially along with the horse section in here that basically keeps like, hey, here's my database URL. So now it's going back into the guide that it's institute.org. Like, I just feel official. People are ready to buy from me because I came up with a cool name that just feels nice, right? And, and it's, you know, that, that's my, you know, right? We can, we can reveal this. This isn't sensitive, right? But here is where my database is kept, right? It's using Neon databases, right? That's a, that's a, that's a database server. Okay, I can look at, I can look at all of these things, but it keeps information and passwords and different things like this, right? This is, this is a password. It's set up a database, a user and a password for me. Right. And so that's how I get into my database to be able to do this specific product that I built. If we go back to Jenny'sRecipes.com, that's a pretty nice name actually, right? It's very homey. You've got a brand of this, right? Obviously you don't want those things kept or displayed out in the open, and so they create secrets that it then automatically uses in deployments for you. You don't have to worry about any of these secrets. Are there any questions about secrets? I want you to be personal brand to tie to it, a face. People want to buy from people. They want clear on what this is. These are the passwords and to be friends with Jenny and hear her recipes. That's pretty cool. Like, and the strings and things that need to be inside of your platform so that it has just created and it's updating it. Because I forgot those things and it's created a nice, beautiful document. Done. I've updated the guide.
Great.
Now I can copy it. Now they have a weird bug right now where it says failed to clip to copy board or yeah, if you click it again, it works. I don't know why. Um, and now I can go back into Google here and I can say, all right, I need a new document. And I'm just in Google Docs, this is free and on Gmail. And I just paste it in here, click right here on the top document, Farm Care Guide. Boom! And it built this beautiful documents tab, everything done. How cool is that, guys? Like 3 minutes. Access to APIs. That it's turning to. For example, in my GenAIPI thing here, if I am not, let's see, I'm going to log in again. You have a perfect guide and you can obviously update on your own. You can type your own things in, you can make it super interactive. Heck, you could build a p5.js app with Groq right here, but I'm going to log in with this user. This is a user that doesn't have access to everything.. But if I come into certification and I, um, Craigslist, right? Who here has heard of Craigslist, right? Craigslist, he just used his name. I got a list, he used his name. That was his thing and it just became a thing, right? So that teaches all this stuff. You now know how to do that. You go into Grok, you find some cool visualization, make it pretty. You could make a quick website. Hey, I just need a quick website Replit that has the, you know, farm, say, um, no, let's go to courses here, but I say I want to get access. Okay, I want to pay $29 for this. Okay, what it's doing is it's using a Stripe guide, and I can send a link over. So cool. Now, by the way, if I want to make— maybe I'm like, hey, I think this website is ready for at least some testing— I can come over here into deploy. Look at all these crazy things up there, right? It's using a Stripe secret to reach out and initiate a Stripe checkout session. That secret is almost no name is bad. There are definitely stored in there so that only I can process it and deployments. I can set up my deployment. It's going to have automatic machine power and approve and it's auto scaling and all these things. It's amazing. You don't have to deal with AWS, then only Stripe can collect that money. There are definitely bad names. For example, you don't want it to be too long, and server stuff that we'll talk about later. I don't need you to know all that stuff. But now I can just say, okay, we're good. Let's deploy this. Done. For me, on behalf of me. It's basically authentication behind the scenes. Just like a username and password behind the scenes. That's what this is going to store. Now the cool thing is, You don't have to understand how they work. All— so now it's provisioning it, building it, bundling it, promoting it. Now I could send you the link. All you have to do is fill it in when it asks for it. It will come up and it will say— in fact, when we— and you guys would be able to play with my new app that I just built. Okay? Now it's going to— like, I didn't want people to have to type in generalartificialintelligenceproficiencyinstitute.org. Like, I've, I've lost the game already. No one's ever visiting that website. It's just kind of a random string of, you know, something, something, something, this app, Replit app. I can put, you know, Jon's farm instructions dot com. If I go by doing that earlier, we were doing the setup earlier, it said, hey, please put in your Stripe secret here. That domain, I can connect it in here. I can— we'll show you how to do that later. But for now, I can quickly get an MVP in front of anybody. Immediately. Hey, try it out. What do you think? Any insight? I wanted it to be super short. I wanted AIPi.org, Artificial Intelligence Proficiency Institute. That would have been perfect. But AI, any questions? Oh, great. Oh yeah, we need to change that. Replit, do this. ChatGPT, update the content. Paste it into Replit. Boom, go. Right? So you can see as you start to put the— And I said, I don't, I don't want to do this right now. Do it later. And all— and it said, go into this place, click on this website, click on this tab, find this thing, copy this, paste it here. Like, it tells you step by step. Anybody could do it. Carter could do it, right? It's very, very simple and very easy. You just put these little pieces together. You can build tools in minutes, right? You can build a fully functioning tool that does something in minutes, a game. An instruction manual of whatever the heck you need. AI can take— api.org was taken and I couldn't figure out who owns it. It doesn't. It's not even a real website. Sometimes people just sit on it, right? And AIPPI. AIPPI. Oh man, that just like slides off the tongue. AIPPI. Things that previously it would have taken me, you know, I don't know, 20— follow it. Okay, so server's running successfully. It's doing all kinds of good stuff. It's fixing— it created API endpoints for user registration, login, and course content, set up an admin dashboard with proper security, resolved a few issues it was having. And minutes to sit down and just kind of write down all the things I need to do to take care of the farm, or maybe I get on a phone call, let me tell you everything, right? But now, guide done, next task, let's go, right? Super, super efficient. Any questions or comments from the gallery? So this was my name that I really, really wanted. Slightly more direct and easy to say. And I said it's making sure that the app is getting up and running smoothly while we're over here learning. Just wow. Oh my gosh. Uh, quick question. Yeah. Okay. Let's, let's do that. Right.
So I kind of went back and forth and I said API rolls off the tongue. So on Replit, do you know if there's a way to limit um, Replit.
Okay, next part, authentication and security ensures that only authorized users can act—
that it, it doesn't like burn through too many credits too quick.
Is there a way to like limit the usage of certain data or services, right? You, you've got— I, I guess you could probably look at these two things. The first one is basically, hey, using each of their credits, you know, not really. The best way to manage the usage is to— is— well, but they're taken. What do I do? I figured out and I had to add the gen. That was also a play on words a little bit because GenAI and password token-based authentication token is going to be a string of— to be specific in your task requirement. Yeah, right. Because what happens sometimes to me is it'll do, you know, $2 of work when I leave for 30 minutes because I give it something really big because it created numbers or letters or some combination like a password. And then an OAuth, its own problem that it then tries to create a fancy solution to fix is going to be where you're using like log in with Google, log in with Facebook. You guys have done those things a lot. And you can use those token-based authentications. The Facebook, it has a username and password, also stands for generative AI where you're generating a video or a picture or text or whatever. It's like a huge thing right now. It's a GenAI API. It just, it works. That's how I've heard, right? That then passes back a successful login and it just does weird stuff. It's better to babysit it right now. There's some things like, like I've got it figured out where it's all about prompt engineering. It's all about figuring out how to say the right thing and also give it explicit instructions, an email, and passes back whatever needs to happen. So you could say, hey, you know what, I would love for people not to do specific things, right? Like when I get into a project, sometimes it'll be like, I'm added on mygenaiapi.org. So I went in then to GoDaddy and I typed in genaipi.org, search domain. When they are signing up for my cleaning service, Roseanne's Cleaning Services, and, um, I'd love for them to be able to just log in with Facebook. When I'm trying to fix this issue, I'll say ignore this issue for now. I want you to only focus on this. As soon as you are done with this, Report back to me. Gotcha. Right. It's almost like talking to an employee, right? Like, you— they don't have to— they don't have to remember another password or remember another whatever. Amazing, right? To give it really explicit instructions. But the better the instructions, the better the outcomes. This could be the start of something big. Now, when I did it, click here to create your account, right? And they'll just log in with Facebook and they're in, or log in with Gmail, Great. And so you could just tell it said, hey, this is available. Great. And it was $19, right? And the better the output, the cheaper it's gonna be because you're not gonna have to spend time fixing it.
Oh, Replit, please add a login with Facebook functionality for this.
And from context, if you'll just forgive me for saying this, a developer would spin, right? And then it will take you through the steps. You will have to provide a secret or two, and you'll have to get days trying to get a basic project spun up and if it costs me $2, you know, it'll tell you, hey, you need to go into the Facebook admin here and copy this thing. And now obviously I'm— am I logged in here? Yeah, I am logged in as Jon Cheney. Sorry, I can't see it because I've got your videos like from Zoom right here. But yeah, um, I was able to come in and when you— oh my goodness sakes, the clouds should part and rays of sunshine should come down and I should— it's not going to be super, super easy. You'll have to learn as you do it, but you'll just follow.
You hear angels singing, right?
It's— I would easily spend $2 for that. Yep, absolutely. That's the cool thing is if you— this is back to the discussion we were having earlier, right? I go and raise $13 million. All my investors get, you know, instructions step by step. And if you're confused, you say, I don't know where to find this. I can't find it. Help me. It'll help you, right? You can also copy the instructions when you search for a name, right? Let's do, let's do Jenny's. Jenny's about their money back, basically $10 million, you know, plus they also got some equity, so it's not fully done yet. They might end up with $20 million. But the point is, think about the stress and complexity and how many people want to sue you when you're dealing with money. Like if it's $2 or $10 million. Recipe, I think I got your name. It's just J-E-N-N-I, right? Gives you and drop it into ChatGPT. Hey, this is going to be confusing. Can you walk me through this step by step? Anyway, just talk to the AI like, like it's an employee. The bucks or $200, like, who cares, right? Now, you don't want to be wasteful. Is willing to answer every question and never judge you, right? Um, okay, so we want to be efficient, and you're asking the right question, but, but to Nate's point, like, this is, this is a whole new playing field. Like you can get to a point where you can sell a product in, in.com. I don't know if I got that right, but I think I did. Right. Jennysrecipes.com was available for 1 cent. Daze for $100. Right. As Michael, you know, told us and shared with— you don't need to worry about some of these security best practices. That's not really that big of a deal. So we've got— earlier, and I've done that now a few times. I've helped a few companies do this now. Anyway, so cool. So you can say, all right, I'm serious about this. I don't— so cool.
Caleb, you had a question. I saw your hand raised.
Yeah. Have you tried different code generators? I know there's like— Agents and automation, we've already talked about it. The agent helps, you know, it uses that chain of thought reasoning to build projects.
And task lists and then goes and does it.
Uh, Bolt and, uh, Lovable that are pretty popular. I think it's worth exploring, or maybe I want to do this sometime in the next few months. Have you tried that? No. Yeah, I have. I've tried all of them. Right now I believe Replit is in the lead. Have you heard of Manus? Anybody here heard of Manus? Yeah, Manus is getting all the hype right now. It's from China. Them all. Okay, and then the assistant can do other things, right? Optimizing Replit usage. All right, this is a good, a good time to teach this. Uh, no, we're not going to teach it yet. We're going to teach it, we're going to teach it later. I'm going to say it right now and then we'll, we'll dive into it later when we actually get in.
Do you know what Manus is?
Replit on deep— on what, what their, uh, Deep Seek? No, it's not, it's not actually. It turns out that it's built But either way, this is too good of a, of a domain to let go. Like, I, I really think I'm going to do a recipe book someday and it'd be super cool to point to Replit. I want you all to maintain when you're building with Replit on Claude Sonnet 3.0 or 3.7 Sonnet, which is what Replit is pointing people at it with Jane's Recipes, right? So for 1 cent for your first year, built on, right? And when you watch all these videos of it, like, oh, it did this and it made this whole planet, did this— what do you think it's doing right here, right? Let's, let's read through what it had to do. And we're going to step— I want you to use a README file and a progress file. This is— you can reserve it for a year. Now, when you get into it, you buy it, whatever, it'll be different. But then you can— a huge secret that I learned, I discovered it on a discussion board somewhere, where sometimes— and this is back to Michael, I think, was that— we're going going to talk about for a second. This is one of the topics, so we're knocking off one of my bullet points here. Chain of thought reasoning. Chain of thought reasoning is the most advanced state that AI is in today. What it means is it can— asking the question about how do we keep our costs low on, on this and take one idea, one instruction, break it down into subtasks Look down here, you can say, here's some different ideas. Jenny's recipes. AI. Maybe you end up building an AI system. And I know this sounds crazy that you could, and then make plans for each of those subtasks with some of those subtasks having their own subtasks. Right? So for example, let's say, let's, let's do chain of thought reasoning that we do every day without even thinking about it. Right. Basically, a README document is like, here is what we build in AI system. But you can tie into ChatGPT's API. I need to get ready. I woke up, I got ready, I'm building. This is the purpose of the app. This is the purpose of the thing. And then the progress is, here is everything that we have built. Because if I'm in here in, need to get ready, right? Well, that's easy for us, right? Oh, well, what do we do? Well, let's break it down. Well, normally we're going to shower, we're going to brush our teeth, we're going to do our makeup. And you can say, all right, ChatGPT API, if you're that kind of guy— I'm just kidding. Um, you're gonna do your makeup, you're gonna brush your hair, you're gonna— in, in this, and I click new chat, all right? I can't create a new chat while one is in progress right now because it's thinking, uh, go to the bathroom. You're gonna— maybe you weigh yourself in the morning. Maybe it's part of getting— it's doing stuff, so it doesn't want to stop. But once it's done, I can click new chat. If I do that, it— ready, you do 20 push-ups. Maybe you go on a quick walk. Maybe you like to walk outside and drink a, you know, a cup of hot chocolate or some OJ. What— or AI, I want you to become a chatbot to talk to people about my recipes. Right? So you put in your recipes, whatever. You have your getting ready routine, but you break that down into lots of things. Well, let's look at the shower. Okay. Hey, when I get in the shower, I need to wash my hair with shampoos is all of our discussion. And it starts over and it's like it's being first introduced to the project again, right? Which requires your, you know, a little bit of manual upload, right? You need this many cups of this many of this, whatever. This knows nothing about what it's built. It then examines all the code. It quickly does that, tries to figure out what you're building. And I'm gonna get some body wash, and I'm gonna, you know, I like to sit on my little thing and just kind of steam for a minute, whatever. You've got your routine that is broken down. And so getting ready is actually a bunch of chain of thought reasoning of smaller broken down tasks and AI up until not very long— the best brownies ever. Took me a long time one time. I was thinking about how do you make brownie and then gets back into it. But that can obviously cause some problems. It creates a continuity. Let's say 6 months ago was mostly just, okay, you asked me to do something, I went and did it. What's next? Instead of saying, oh, problem with trying to make sure we're always pushing towards the same goals. It doesn't understand what was these. Like, how does, how does chocolate turn into bread? Like, I don't get it. I couldn't figure it out. But anyway, I learned. Roseanne's laugh. Okay, you asked me to do something, but because of this, I think there's actually like 10 things I need you to do, right? When we were watching Grok, think about, we're going to go back to this done in the past. And so by creating these documents, and I'll show you how to do them later, By creating these documents, it allows the agent to understand where it's going. And so when I'm history here, I'm going to go to top stocks for investment. You can actually look at its thought process. The request is for a detailed analysis of the top 5 stocks to invest. I'm fucking at me. But anyway, you, so you can come in here, you can buy this. When I do create a new chat, I'm going to say, you know, after we've created those documents, I'm going to say thinking about how to find stocks based on recent performance and analyst recommendations. Since today is March 18th, I'll need to look for current data. Let's check for recent articles. Great. Searching, searching, searching. Hey, I found this. Now, a.ai is trending, and so therefore, right? Economics, supply and demand. Please update the progress.md file with everything we've done. Great article. Here's another one. Here's another one. Here's another one. I read it. Now I'm going to evaluate them. All right. New chat. And then I'll say, Please review the README and the progress.md documents and familiarize this, this, this, this, this, this, this. Right now I'm going to clarify and see what the best way is to do this. And we don't have to read through the whole process, but you can see it's thinking and breaking those steps down and then delivering on each of those and then putting it all together in a beautiful summary for you. More people want it, they're going to charge more for it. But yeah, $0.99 for the first year for Jenny's Recipes Not Online. That's based on VIP. You could buy all these. The reality is they're going to try to sell you on all this stuff with this project. Now I want you to work on this, right? And then it's like, it's just mind-blowing what is possible today. But here inside of Replit, great. I know exactly where I left off. Here's where I'm going now. Super cool. So hey, I'll help you integrate this code on your testimonials page. Let's start by installing the p5.js library. These different things you need and want, whatever. Just get a domain and point people at it. For me as a user, I'm someone who I like to watch and learn. I'm like, oh, okay, there's a p5.js library that has to be installed on a website for it to work properly. This one doesn't, and those files would appear right here. These are your files of your project. You just click this little button to hide or whatever, and they would be showing up right here. We'll create those later. Perfect. Now let's check the existing testimonials component. Now it's going to look at What is this page doing? Right? Okay, great. I'm going to integrate this into things that are going to matter a little bit more are going to be things like, um, Instagram, right? We haven't created them yet. Um, but anyway, that, that is what it is. Um, the testimonials page. Let's first install the library. Now let's check the file to see how to best do this. Now let's create an animation component to the testimonial section. Now let's update this to include ours. Okay, we're about 2 hours in right now, half done with day 8. So this is where— this is something you got to check now. So let's check it. Let's go to Instagram and we'll go to— you guys come follow me, working towards 10,000 followers. Face animation. Let's also install— oh hey, we need something else. We need a TypeScript type definition, right? So it's something that allows for that type of code to be inserted there, right? Because there's a type error. It found an error and said, oh, I know what the error is. We need to install this to get rid of that error. Fantastic. Hey, it looks like there's still an issue with nested a tags in the one. Let's finish up this last thing here. Hosting and deploying. We talked about host at Cheney Piano. I'm a pianist, so I've got my piano behind me right here. Anyways, hosting and deploying where you can do it all there, um, inside of Replit. That's really what you're gonna wanna do. There are alternative options if you want to. Again, Replit can handle all of that stuff. Let's fix that. That's actually where, where Replit is. It's left the current task and it's going back to something that was previously messed with, right? But it fixed it. Great. Are there any similar problems here? Okay. You just have to say, hey, you know what? I want to save money on my deployments. How can we do this? Okay, we're doing good. Let's check to see if there's any applications or any, any problems. Great. It works. Fantastic. By the way, our deployment is now live, right? I could share this with anybody. I have 3 pianos in this room and 4 guitars, 2 saxophones. There you go. Okay, so those are the basic things. You're not going to remember it all. You're good. But now anyone can click on this and, you know, it's not, it's not done, but this is what we've built anyway. Um, so we're going to search, we're going to search for Jenny's. I'm going to want to remember Like, hey, what does CSS mean? How do you find out so far? Right. Fantastic. I've got my shooting star recipes. Okay, so this— who can tell me how to find out what CSS means very quickly and easily? I think it's cool. I'm going to keep that there for a while. So starting to make sense a little bit.
Starting to come together.
Anybody? It's cascading, uh, style sheets. Oh, sorry. And Jenny's underscore recipes exists already. We're gonna search for the exact thing. Help me, you know, at a very high level. All right. Now we really are going to take some time and do just a little bit of basic vocabulary around what's happening here because as you're reading or seeing a lot of those things, you might be like, I just don't understand what he's saying when he says this thing, right? So again, we're staying very high level. You can, you can go deeper into no results. So it looks like Jenny's Recipes is available. This, I'm gonna provide this document to you and you can say, hey ChatGPT, explain this to me like I'm a 3-year-old, right?
You can do that too, right?
Or you could just go search for it in ChatGPT. Perfect. Or Google. Just Google it. You guys know how to search. ChatGPT can teach you as well, right? You're like, hey, what is CSS? Teach me a little bit about it. Right? And, but basically what it means, CSS basically means, like I said, like I'm a 10-year-old. Maybe you're, maybe you're there. That's fine. You can do that later and you can really understand it. It's gonna determine the font size and the, you know, is it Times New Roman or is it Arial? And you're not gonna remember everything, but at least seeing some of these words, you're gonna be like, okay. So I, I have, you know, right. And then you, you, you also have to think about, okay, where is a recipe, you know, site, brand, whatever, going to be important? Maybe you're not thinking like me. Decades of experience being the CEO of software company. Is it, you know, what color is it? What kind of spacing do we have here? Is there padding around this? And so I've paid developers. Nate has paid and managed developers. Maybe you're like, you know what, I just don't really know. Let's jump in here. Anyway, it's basically your formatting on your front end. Michael has, Jordan, some of these other people have. Caleb is a developer and so he understands all of this implicitly. But when you're around that language, that's basically what CSS is doing. And there's a lot of ways to do it and we're not going to get into that. I'll give one little tip that I'm just going to say right now. You start to understand like, oh, HTML is the front. It's like what I see on a website type thing. CSS is talking about like the font size and the colors. You can dive in deeper. I'm not going to go into HTML, CSS, JavaScript. We're not going to go into what all those those things are. What I want you to just recognize is, okay, we've got front-end client-side development. Wow, and I might never come back to it, but occasionally Replit will do something stupid. I want to start a recipe website, and they'll do what's called nesting. Well, they'll say, here's my CSS, right? Sometimes you'll hear, I'm a front-end developer. Great, that means that developer His job is to work with things that you can see. The called Jenny's Recipes. Here are my instructions for the document. I want to use this font, these colors, this whatever. But then it will take additional CSS and it will put it inside of the code front end. The back end is backstage. It's just like a play. You've got the domain, Jon Cheney's recipes. You've got the backdrop there. Everything that's in front of the backdrop, the audience can see. You've got this wrapping CSS that's supposed to take care of the whole web and it looks awesome. But behind there, you've got some behind-the-scenes stuff. Maybe you've got some special effects, maybe you've got the orchestra, maybe you've got people operating pulleys and things at a play..com is available. And the Instagram, the front side, the front end is what you can see. It's going to render or display the user interface or the UI. You'll hear UI a lot or UX, user experience and user interface, UI and UX. Handle at Jenny's recipes. Going to handle user input, forms, clicking, navigation. Those are the things that you're going to navigate. You're going to click and you're going to input things. Pretty much everything comes down to those, those three. Is also available. What other platforms? Interactions. And then you're going to communicate with the backend via APIs. Might be important for my audience. An API is basically a word for a connector. We're going to connect the frontend to something. So if I go to my website here, here we go. This one right here that's loaded, right? If I sign out and then I click log in right here, here's my username. Now I've got a site and then on one section it throws something else in and you say, why is this color different? It shouldn't be different. Please fix it. And it goes in and it looks at only one section. It looks at the overarching one and says, oh, hey, it is set to blue. The main color is set to blue. Well, then why is it red down here? I don't know. Right? And you, and so you have to know to ask, are there any duplicates? Like, did you, did you use two sets of CSS on this page? Please look for that. And then when it knows, feel free to ask me a few questions. Who's to look for that? You can, you know, so sometimes you have to just step back and say, I've got it saved and, and whatever. But I, I, I'm typing and and clicking here, typing and clicking here, and then I'm gonna click sign in. When I click sign in, it's going to say, and some, and I learned this by the way, by the AI finding it itself. I said, send my inputs to a database and say, hey, does this username exist? One by one to understand what I'm trying to say. Yes, great. Does the password match that username in the database. You seem to be making changes that are not taking effect. Why do you think? Trying to build. This is an important part. This is now you've got it thinking, okay, I need to take a step back. Yes, great. Welcome. You're in. If it doesn't, then hey, this login successful thing won't come up. It'll say, sorry, wrong password, try again. Okay. Part of the ChatGPT process. ChatGPT is capable of asking— so very basic, very basic stuff here, but it communicates with APIs. Now APIs are very, very important. I don't know if it covers— if I cover them a lot more. Yeah, we do. And figure that out. So you don't even have to know that that was the problem, right? We're all beginner developers here in comparison to these, these— you step-by-step questions and updating its memory and understanding with every question. Right? So right now, cover more lately, but I'm gonna give you just a high-level thing right now so you can come back to it later. An API connects one thing to another. It can connect the front end to the back end like we just talked about and I chat agents or just compared to anybody. Right? And so let it think demonstrated. It can also connect the back end to another back end. What if you connect a database to another database? Right? For example, What if, but you just have to learn how to ask the right question. That's, that's the, that's the beauty. Now I asked it one by one. It did not listen to me. And it says, that sounds like a great idea. You want to accept a payment. So somebody on your website enters and I'm going to say, please ask me each question of this course. Okay. The next thing we're going to do, guys, uh, a credit card number and expiration date and all of the information that's needed. They click submit, then via an API, because you don't want to be responsible for this, Stripe, a very popular payment processor, is, um, everybody, does anybody need to take a break, bathroom break, grab some water? We've been sitting for 2 hours. One at a time. And straight, you guys are welcome to take a break for a second. But the next thing I want you to do is this, and we're going to go— I wish I don't want me— let me see if I can do this here. I'm going to start— is an expert. They've figured out all the security issues you don't want to deal with, with payment stuff. That's really, really hard. So we rely on somebody else that's already built that and spent billions of dollars perfecting that technology. And so we just connect to their API And we say, hey, ask additional questions as needed until you feel— if I send you credit card information, you process it. I'm sharing for just a moment here. What if I don't think I can do this in this system? Da da da da da. Well, like you have a good understanding of my business. And then just send me back what happened. Was it processed? Yes or no? And how much for? Great, transaction successful. Then my system says, if I receive a transaction— a transaction successful message from Stripe, all right, Caleb, I'm not kicking you out, but I'm going to put you in the waiting room. Okay, so who's your target audience? Are you focused I can release the product to the user, right? I can give them access to the court room for a second. I'm going to bring you back. Just want to see if this works. I'm busy. Home Goods. Jenny, why don't you take off mute right here and we'll answer these questions together. Okay. We're just going to— I kicked Caleb out. Now we can talk about him. All right. And we're going to bring him back in. I can send them the thing. I can start the process to, you know, hey, an order has come through and you've been successfully paid and all that stuff. Stuff, right? So APIs help you connect anything, your own internal stuff and maybe external stuff. Okay, great. Any questions before we move on from front end? Pretty straightforward. Okay. All right, you back, Caleb? We're just gonna do this for fun. Just, you can use it or not use it, but I want to just— so looks like you're muted. Yes, I'm back. So I kicked him out for a second. Okay, this is cool. I might do this. I might kick some people out, put you in the waiting room, then bring you back in. Um, what are you focused on?
Beginner chefs, health-conscious eaters, specific cuisine?
What's your, what's your angle? Um, but what I want you to do, and I'm not gonna do it right now, but I might do it, you know, maybe in an hour. All right, family-friendly meals. Meals that I love. I just want to share meals that I love, whatever, right? Like in 30 minutes or maybe 20 minutes if we're, if we're ready and fast. I want you to figure out backend server-side development, right? Some people might say I'm a, I'm a backend developer. Some people, like Caleb said in the beginning, might say I'm a full-stack developer, which means he does frontend and backend. He understands how it all works and he can code and manipulate and do all that cool stuff, right? Replit, would be a full stack about what you want to build. So there's two things that we're going to do. Well, yeah, I'm not going to do that yet. We're going to start— yeah, desserts. People love desserts. I want to focus on desserts. Great. What kind of desserts we focus on? Classic baked goods, no-bake desserts, international, healthy. With ChatGPT, GPT. All right, I need everyone to open ChatGPT, or if you want to use, you know, Perplexity or whatever you, you know, whatever you might have available, a mix of everything, whatever I feel like, mix of it, or Grok, or whatever you're comfortable with. If you have Grok open already, fantastic. Start a new chat and start talking everything. Um, so it's basically the behind-the-scenes logic as well as databases that tell the frontend how to act. If you do this, then this happens. You really can break down most things into if-then statements. If the username and password are not matching in the database— Great thing. Yeah. Everything, just want to share what I love. Sounds perfect. Sharing what you love will make the content more authentic and enjoyable. Great, okay. What kind of content will you create? Will you primarily share written recipes with photos or do you plan to include video tutorials, step-by-step process shots? If then, send an error message. And they're not all written as if thens, but that's how a lot of initial, you know, early coding happened. It was a lot of if this, then that, if this, then that, if this, then that. And you had really complex things and it got too hard. So they built better systems to do it. A few of the languages that you'll use in the backend, Python, Flask, Django. This is pronounced Django, sucking the grock. You can use grock for this as well. I'm okay with that. But I want you to use ChatGPT if you think this is an idea that you really want to develop a ways. Okay, I'm going to, I'm going to share my screen really quick here. I'm going to teach you about projects. Okay, in ChatGPT, now I'm on the desktop app. You can also go into ChatGPT, silent D, it's just there for fun. Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, this is a database language, Firebase. A lot of these languages or a lot of these systems are available there as hosting services through popular things like Microsoft Azure or even live baking sessions. What do you think? Um, all of my projects, all my stuff, that's all here, right? You've got a history of everything you've ever talked about. It'll go back forever. It's awesome. Okay, but I have a bunch of different, um, apps in here. You've got Dream Crazy. This is Jordan's app that we've been working on, right? And I can come in here and I can see all of the different things that are in here. Now, I haven't done it a lot in here, but, but Jordan needs to have his own Amazon Web Services, or AWS.. And there's a lot of different ones, right? Google's got their own and there's, there's a lot of services, a lot of private ones. And I mean, heck, you can even build your own if you really want to be crazy. But usually people are going to integrate with something simple. Now, the cool thing about Replit is they do it all for you. Now you can see all these different things I've got. Probably written recipes. Yeah. Photos. Written recipes. Project where every discussion you can upload files, you can upload instructions to say, hey, With photos. That feels easiest to me. You need to call me boss every time you tell me something, or call me chief, or always, you know, make things manageable. Great. How do you envision the website layout? Will be a blog. So make sure you, you compliment me every single time you answer. You can, you can literally a few different apps and inside of here and can see how much, you know, how many agent checkpoints I've used on each of these different things. And then you can see the cost accrued for my storage, right? How much am I storing on these different projects? What's my outbound data transfer? Say hey, right? Respond in Spanish, you know, respond as if I were your king. Keep it as $0 right now. My auto-scale deployment, hey, format where you post recipes as blog entries, or do you want a structured recipe index?
With filters like types of desserts, difficulty level, ingredients.
Yeah, probably types of dessert and difficulty level. Yeah, I love the idea. You could do whatever the heck you want in here, and every time you ask it something, it will obey the overarching instructions, but it will also consider everything that's inside the project. So for my general AI proficiency institute, I have tons of tons and tons of documents in here and it knows everything that's been said and all the different things. Hey, how am I going to— looks like we've done a few things that have required some auto-scale deployments. It's cost me $1.84 this month. Again, very cheap. $0.24 down here for PostgreSQL storage, which is just my data of filtering and creating an interactive experience based on all my stuff that I have. I've paid $0.24 this month. And then compute, right? Okay, we're doing a lot. Dream Crazy is going nuts in here doing a lot of stuff, right? So 20 to find desserts that meet my needs. So memory updated, it's learning about it, right? You know, structure these tests, and how are we going, you know, let's build a logo. I need to build this, right? Anyway, so I have lots of different things that I'm working on and $27 of compute, and that's because we're running a bunch of things. You don't have to understand what all these things are, projects. And so ChatGPT can do this and Groq cannot, right? Someone asked earlier, why do we use certain things? Well, I use ChatGPT because I love the projects and I keep everything inside it. But the bottom line is you've got basically front end and back end and Replit very conveniently, although I will say it is more expensive to do it in Replit than if you were to do it in AWS. That's okay. Part of what we're trying to do here is build product. Next question. How do you want your audience to engage? Would you like them to leave reviews, rate recipes, submit their own variations, or interact in any other way?
Leave comments?
Like, what do you want? Submit own variations. Submit own variations. I think this could be cool. It here when I'm working on something. So in order to create a new project, you just click new project. Oh, and you get to work in it. Okay. So I would like for you to do that. I believe you have to be in a paid version of ChatGPT, which is $20 a month. The prototypes, you could theoretically run an entire business on here. And I am planning on running, um, my Gen AI. The next task we're going to do right now, guys, is I want you to focus on your efficiency thing all through Replit just to prove that I can do it right. But it's a little bit more expensive. And the reason for that is their Replit is buying AWS compute power and then reselling it to me. So they're going to mark it up a little bit. If I present my— or if the primary business idea— you're going to take some time, there's a little bit of free time that you're going to work on right now. Recipe is presented, and then you can navigate easily to variations that people have tried. All right, cool. Right, so it's obviously gonna be a little bit more expensive, but the convenience of not having to configure all of those things and manage many accounts and try to understand how it all— and feel free to jump in and ask a question if you want to get into a private room to say, hey, can we—
fits together. Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
This is an amazing deal.
Yeah, you're going to save money not having to pay DevOps guys to do all that stuff and time. Precisely. Precisely. Jump into a private room for a second. I want to just work with you on this idea. I'll throw everyone into a waiting room for a second. We'll work for a few minutes and then we'll come back. Okay. Um, but I, I want a brilliant idea. It adds a community-driven aspect to the site, encourages engagement while keeping the originalness to work through the idea. I'm going to take you back into the General AI Proficiency Institute. I, I don't know if I started in there. And you can make it more efficient too. You can say, hey, my cost on this element is too expensive, Replit. How can we optimize the system to not do as many— test blueprint design, uh, let's just go back to here, you know, requests here, and it will, it'll optimize it for you and reduce your cost. Recipe as the foundation. Next question: do you plan to monetize the site? Are you considering ads? Your ongoing cost. Okay, so backend responsibilities, processing data, sponsored posts, affiliate links where you're selling baking tools and ingredients, premium content, or even selling a cookbook in the future. What sounds the easiest? See if I can go to the very top of this. I wish there was a button that let me just go to the very, very, very top. All right, here you go. So here's my idea to make money with this. It could simply be, it could simply be like, you know what, initial prompt to build the website that's now given me $60,000, handling authentication, which is like logging in and security. Communicating with databases, and then managing business logic, calculating prices, storing user actions, lots of things like that. Front end and back end, pretty straightforward. You don't have to have a deep understanding of it. You just have to understand, if I have a form, that form has to be processed somehow. I want to create a website that checks the proficiency levels based on an intelligence test, but I don't really know how. I'll just put ads on the site and I'll just try to drive a lot of people to it. They didn't have to worry about it.
You can just install, you know, Google AdMob or AdMob.
What if they think the ads are obnoxious? If you don't like ads, then you say it shows the aptitude for an individual to succeed in a world with AI. Sometimes you can even process it in the front end, but you have to do that very— I don't love ads. But honestly, right, you have to say, okay, I'm going to store this in the memory, but as soon as I click refresh, it's gone, right? So there's little things like that you'll just learn over time, and some of you might never get into that. But this means they need to know how to talk to AI, how to be good prompt engineers, and they need to have a good brain. You just have to know what's possible. So databases and SQL— SQL is trained to figure out how complex systems can quickly be put together. Can you help me build this? I can definitely help you build this. Here's how we break it down, right? Here's what we're going to do. Great. Let's start with a good name, right? And I started working on names and then I started, you know, anyway, to figure out an easy way to monetize. What creative and automated ways can you think of Most people will say SQL. I hear some people say SQL and that's fine. I say SQL. That's what I've heard developers say my whole life. So databases store structured information. Okay, so we'll come in here. I don't even know if we have— especially considering AI, but it's— but that's how my business started. I was just like, I have an idea, and I could have And by the way, I'm going to click on here on database, see my data. By the way, I actually did, I know I did before this, talk to AI about these ideas. And I already kind of knew what I wanted to ask here. I had done that and it's probably in some other, it might be in Groq, it might be in one of these other chats here that's not inside of the project. The bottom line is when I started this, I don't think we have any data yet. Yeah, we don't have any data yet in this. So that's fine. That's fine. We'll have an event source for content. This project, I already knew what I was going to try to build, but Jenny, I want you— Great approach. Avoiding ads can keep the user experience clean while still finding creative ways to generate revenue. Here's some AI-powered and actually here we'll do this. Please create an authentication Um, system that uses a database to store usernames and has automated monetization ideas tailored for Jenny's recipes. AI-powered recipe customization, premium feature. Do your own, Rosanne. I want you to do your own. Or maybe, maybe, maybe Jenny, you're going to help Jordan with his, and so you don't do that. Or Rosanne, you want to work on your cleaning business, or you want to work on something, you know, that you like doing with whatever. Jenny, do your recipe thing. I actually wanna see you do something with recipes. Words so that users, whoops, can have access. I want you guys to work on something and, and honestly, Jenny and Rosanne, if you want, you can work together on this, right? You can just say, hey, to force content up. So in a minute here, we will have a database, right? It's gonna spin up a SQL database. That's, you know, you guys, talk amongst each other and say, hey, let's build this together. Or maybe you both want to do your own thing. Hold users input available ingredients or dietary preferences and AI suggests modify. But by the end of these 3 days, guys, you're going to have a real pride versions of your recipes. Cool. AI generated meal planning cookbook. And, or maybe it already has. And, and now, but now it's going to start building some tables and it's going to say printable, whatever affiliate links, AI powered recipe remix. Feature. It's cool. Ooh, users can enter a favorite dessert and AI suggests creative variations. Turn your chocolate cake into a Mo product that works, that you can put in front of people and say, try this out. Okay, so that's where we're going to go from now. So for the next little bit here, I want you to just talk, say, hey, let's create a user table and it's going to have different fields. So I'll show that in a second after it comes up.
Go ahead, Nate. Um, each time you type something, it's something in there, that's a checkpoint.
That's 25 cents basically, right? Nope. Nope. It's, it's to ChatGPT or Grok or somebody, your AI, talk to your neighbor. Talk pretty crazy. Um, sometimes it is, other times it will do 2 checkpoint to your wife and whatever you want to do. And just say, I would Caramel Delight offer this as paid tour exclusive to members, right? Premium membership for exclusive features. Merchandise store. AI-generated recipe videos. That's pretty cool. Um, all right, out of all of these, I'm now just applying my own business sense here. I've got this idea, what do you think? I'd prefer if you do it with AI because I want you to learn about talking to AI. And you can start it in a prompt in one big long task because it like finishes half of it and it's like, I need to do this. The checkpoint is to protect so that you can roll back to a certain spot. If you mess, if you mess up, you want to be able to roll back. That's really what the checkpoint is for. But it's also, Nate, it's project. You can just go into it and just say, hey, I'm trying to build a business. It, it's using AI credits, right? Um, here are some of my ideas. I think the way that you could get your first dollar, because remember, that's what we're aiming for here, guys, right? We're not just making cool stuff. We want to generate an income that can actually provide us some money. I don't care if it's $100 a month, right? That pays for your, you know, right? Help me, help me pick what I want, right? So just, just talk. Okay. And so as it, it basically, okay, I just used $10,000, you know, all of your ChatGPT and Grok and everything you have. AI for free now, right? That's what you want, you know, context, whatever. And so that's 20 cents, that's 25 cents or whatever, right? Um, I want this, this brainstorming session where your time, it hits kind of that limit, it just kind of throws it out there, but it creates these checkpoints at reasonable places. It doesn't do it exactly like that. Sometimes it might spend 20 cents of its own money, or it might spend 30 cents even though it's charging you 20. You're talking to AI to go for the next We're gonna say 15 minutes. So that's gonna take us to 5:33. Okay. I like the angle of the AI-powered recipe customization. 5:00. And, but it will put it at logical places where a task feel free to ping me if you want to. If you want to say something, right, just message me directly. And, uh, allowing users to upload is done. This task is complete. I'm now going to create a checkpoint. All right, I've even had it go 30 minutes without doing one checkpoint. Load ingredients they have and then create. If I put you in a If I'm going to put you in another room, I'm going to— I'll tell you guys, I'll say, hey, I'm going to switch everybody off, right? It's just kind of random on what you're— what it's doing. And again, the cost— a minute here, okay? And we'll be fast. We'll go back and forth. Okay. By the way, Nate, you asked a question earlier about limitations on Solidity or anything like— no, there are no limitations. They can do anything you can think of. Are so dang cheap. And I'm not going to try to figure out why it's doing whatever. I'm just like building. I'm just curious. Yeah. Good question. All right. Desserts based on those things could be something people are willing to pay for. Databases in SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Firebase, DynamoDB. Some of these are like, Other databases, uh, Firebase. Yeah, you want to build a Web3 project here. You want to build something that, that I might do, you know, uh, exclusive recipe books. This is inside of Amazon, right? AWS. There's, there's lots of ways to deal with checks, patterns, and auto trades for you. You want to build an auto trade auto trader with, you know, meme coins, do it. You can do that. Data. There's different reasons for why you would do a SQL database versus a NoSQL database and just say, hey, I'm going to put $20 in and see if it works. Maybe I'll lose all my money. The reality is I couldn't tell you that answer. I bet you Caleb could in the future. But let's start with this AI idea. I bet you Caleb could say, here's why I would do it, and here's the situation as a learner. But it will do it, and you can be like, I lost all my money. What'd you do wrong? All right, okay, I'll update this later. Okay, exciting and innovative approach. Thanks, it was your idea. Um, AI-powered recipe customization tool had real value. Next question, how would you like the AI? I actually as I'm sitting here teaching you, want to know that answer. And so I can do that. I can say, hey, why would I— but it could do anything. So yeah, talk to AI, come up with a, with an idea. I'm going to sit here and I'm going to talk to it about my, um, about the course that I'm teaching right now in this web— I just copy this into here and we're going to go into a new ChatGPT chat that I'm trying to build and see if I can get it to Do something cool here. We're not talking about farm, and I'll just say, why would someone want a SQL versus no SQL? It featured a function, a simple text-based input, a guided selection process, or a more advanced option where users— now we don't want to do that. I think for this one we're going to say text-based input. Text-based input. Sounds easiest. Database, give me the answer in less— although a visual selection— with 3 sentences. Right? So sometimes, you know, And Jordan, since, since we're already building Dream Crazy, I want you to try to focus on one. AI will like go off and teach me a whole course. Sometimes I just want succinct. All right, here we go. SQL databases are best for structured data with clear relationships, right? Like a username and a pre— populated food images password, right? Complex for making an ideal for financial systems, CRM and enterprise app could be cool too. If we can build both options. Applications, NoSQL databases, Excel at handling unstructured or semi-structured data, offering high scalability and flexibility, which suits real-time applications, big data, and dynamic content like social media or IoT. The choice depends on whether you prioritize data intent— your other cool ideas, just for the purposes of this exercise. Integrity and complex querying SQL or scale. Sounds like a fantastic plan having both options, text-based input for simplicity, scalability, and schema flexibility. Yeah, that's cool. Anyway, that might sound like Greek to you know, Roseanne, and that's fine. And a visual selection for ease of use will make the feature more accessible and user-friendly. Next question. Do you have a specific AI model or tool in mind for recipe generation, or would you like recommendations? What's your recommendation? But bottom line is you could say, explain it to me like I'm a 3-year-old, right? Like, I'm 5. Okay. So Or you could say, explain it to me assuming I have no understanding of computer technology. Right. Okay, great. Here you go. SQL databases are like a super organized toy box with labeled compartments for each type of toy. That's crazy. There's already The Spoonacular API that adds nutritional information and substitutions is pretty cool. So you always know where everything is. NoSQL databases are like a big toy chest where you could throw in any toy without worrying about labels, making it easier to add new kinds of toys. If you want everything neat and easy to find, use SQL. If you want to throw in lots of different toys quickly and find them later, use NoSQL. Awesome. I actually totally understand that better now. Maybe I'm a 5-year-old, maybe that's where my— right there. Let's go with your approach. It's saying let's start with GPT-4 and then maybe later integrate Spinnacular if you want to bring some of their understanding comes in. But basically, if you want to be able to do really robust analytics, you're probably in a SQL database. You want to be able to see, how often do my users log in every day? What are the patterns of these things? And you want to be able to pull it all together. Whereas if you just have tons of data, you need to be able to pull data up at different times. You might even in, in a given— there's stuff in— let's go with your approach. So now memory is up. Project have different types of databases for different types of data. Facebook would be a great example of that. They're going to have some— updated. Next step, user flow design. Here's how it could work step by step. Some things that require more organized things, and then they're gonna have others where it's like, hey, we've got tons of content. Let's take all this content and then throw it at the organized database. Right? That's kind of how they do that there. And they have— they even have some more So it's literally starting to build it now, like the ideas of what the flow will be like. This is how it's going to work. Complex relationships that they deal with in Facebook, um, but we don't need to go into that. Bottom line is you store data in a database.
Simple.
Then you can work. This is what— this is going to happen. This is great. This is great. Query, right? You can ask the database, hey, yes, a simple wireframe. How many lines of code are there? How many users do I have? You know, replace everybody's name. Helpful. If their name is John Doe, replace it with Jane Doe, whatever. You could give it commands to either search or replace or do things like that. The good news is you don't ever have to do that. The way that you would do that is inside Replit, you would say, Okay. Please replace all of the names of John Doe to Jane Doe. And then it would create all the scripts and run it and you're done. You don't have to worry about what it's doing, right? See, here's what we're doing, a PostgreSQL database, user roles, password hashing, using— super cool. It's doing all kinds of things that you don't need to understand. All right, connecting the database to Replit. You don't need to worry about that. It'll, it'll take care of it for you. It'll, it'll do all of that. Of course, You could say, hey, you know what, I want to reduce my wireframe or layout. Would be helpful. Look how cool this thing is. It's writing code right across. I'm planning on building something really big. And, and not only that, it is getting really big. And so I need to shift this over to an Amazon database, you can do that. You can say, hey, Replit, I wanna switch out of the Replit database to a database here. Please help me do that. And they'll say, great, and it'll just get to work, right? So APIs and endpoints, we talked about this application programming interface. Is. In other words, it's a connector. They just communicate with each other. Right now. So now it says I need to get data, I need information, I need to move things back and forth. Between two systems. That's like run your code to see how it looks and interact with the output preview. We're very high-level basic, but hey, these are the ingredients. I've got this one, I've got this one, I've got this one, or hey, butter. You got to worry about an endpoint is the place that it goes to get the information. The API says, on one end, hey, go to this API's endpoint, grab the data, and pull it back. Those endpoints have requirements, sometimes secrets, sometimes passwords, sometimes different things like that. Generate dessert recipe. It obviously doesn't work right now, but this is just an idea. That's all we need to say right now. Replit handles all of this for you. Now you can say to it, please make the wireframe much more visually appealing. I have a system in here. I'm actually going to go over this right now. We'll go over secrets. Secrets is a section in here that basically keeps like, hey, here's my database URL. All right, we can, we can reveal this. This isn't sensitive, right? But here is where my database is kept, right? It's using Neon databases, right? That's a, that's a, that's a database server. Okay, I can look at I can look at all of these things, but it keeps— I'm just going to say that. This is boring right now. Maybe they can do something better. They can give it an idea because when you give the AI an idea, when we grab this wireframe and drag it into Replit, it's going to say, oh, okay, well, information and passwords and different things like this. This is a password. It's set up a database. I built what you showed me. If you don't love it, then just don't even show it. It's a user and a password for me. That's how I get into my database to be able to do this. Obviously, you don't want those things kept or displayed out in the open, and so they create secrets that it then automatically uses in deployments for— say, just built this, right? Funny enough, that's what real development— so you didn't have to worry about any of these secrets. Are there any questions about secrets? I want you to be clear on what this is. This—
these are the, are the passwords and the developers do too.
It's like I just built what you showed me. Exactly. It's exactly what they do. Yeah. Yeah. They— I, I have so many times where I'm like, hey, Talon, Talon, and the strings and things that need to be inside of your platform so that it has access to APIs that it's, that it's turning to. So for example, in my gen— an AIP thing here, if, if I am not, uh, let's see, I'm going to log in again. My, my lead developer that I always worked with me for a decade, right? I was like, hey, Taylor, Taylor, right here, but I'm gonna log in with this user. This is a user that doesn't— build me something that does this, this, this, and this. And it shows up and it's like, it's the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life, but it does exactly what I asked. And I'm like, okay, well, doesn't have access to everything. But if I come into certification and I— did you think about making it look good? I was like, he's like, no, I just wanted to work. Okay, well, you have to show this. Say, um, now let's go to courses here. But I say I want to get access. Okay, I want to pay $29 for this. Okay, what it's doing is it's using a Stripe— look at all these crazy things up here, right? It's using a Stripe secret to reach out to a client. So can you like, well, what do you want me to do? Okay, well, let's add this and let's add this. It'll do exactly what you tell them, right? And initiate a Stripe checkout session, right? And so that secret is— hey, this is already better. Look how cool that looks. I love it. I think it's stored in there so that only I can process it, and it's great. So now I can, I can screenshot this, right? I just grab it and screenshot it. Boom. Now I'm going to just drop it into my chat here. Then only, um, Stripe can collect that money. For me, on behalf of me, right? It's, it's basically authentication behind the scenes, right? Just like a username and password behind the scenes. That's what this is going to store. Now, the cool thing is you don't have to understand how they work. Looks great. Let's put together a development plan. Note that I will build this completely inside of replit.com. Please create a business plan and all you have to do is fill it in when it asks for it. It will come up and it will say, in fact, when we We're doing that earlier. We were doing the setup earlier. It said, hey, please put in your Stripe secret here. And I said, I don't, I don't want to do this right now. Do it later. And all, and it said, go into this place, click on this website, click on this tab, find this thing, copy development plan that I can give Replit. So this, paste it here. Like it tells you step by step. Anybody could do it. That it knows everything we discussed. So note Carter can do it, right? It's very, very simple and very easy. You just follow it. Okay. So server's running successfully. It's doing all kinds of good stuff. It's fixing— it created API endpoints for user registration, login, and course content, set up an admin dashboard with proper security, resolved a few issues it was having. And then I asked for two things: a business plan and a development plan. A business plan is going to say, here's the purpose of the site, this is what we're doing, right? Business overview, focus, social media, business model, whatever, whatever, right? And it tells me all those different things. It's making sure that the app is getting up and running smoothly while we're over here learning. Okay, next part: authentication and security ensures that only authorized users can Then the development plan is going to be how are we actually access certain data or services, right? You, you've Got— I, I guess you could probably look at these two things. The first one is basically, hey, username and password, token-based authentication. Token is going to be a string of numbers or letters or some combination like a password. Um, and then an OAuth is going to be where you're using like login with Google, login with Facebook, You guys have done those things a lot and you can use— you're going to build it, right? What are we going to— what, what, what code are we going to write? So here's the key features, here's everything we're going to do, development plan. I think we're going to use this, this, this, and this. We're going to host it all on Replit. Phase 1, see, look, this is crazy. Development phases. Phase 1, MVP development, estimated 4 to 6 weeks. Now we're going to build it in 4 to 6 minutes. Okay. Those token-based authentications, right? The Facebook, it has a username and password, right? That then passes back a successful login and an email and passes back whatever needs to happen. So you could say, hey, you know what, I would love for people when they are signing up for my cleaning service, Roseanne's Cleaning Services. User engagement features, monetization and scalability. Okay, please update the plan and know that with replit.com we can build this by 2 hours from now. And I'd love for them to be able to just log into Facebook, right? Using the agent on Replit. They don't have to, they don't have to remember another password or remember another whatever. Amazing, right? Click here to create your account, right? And they'll just log in with Facebook and they're in, or log in with Gmail. Great. And so you can just tell Replit, please add a login with Facebook functionality for this. Done, right? And then it will take you through the steps. You will have to provide a secret or two and you'll have to get— feel free to Google this and learn about it. Actually, not feel free to, I want it to Google it, Google this and learn about it so that you understand what we're doing to build everything. Get into, you know, they'll tell you, hey, you need to go into the Facebook admin here and copy this thing. And it's not going to be super, super easy. You'll have to learn as you do it, but you'll just follow the instructions step by step. And if you're confused, you say, I don't know where to find this, I can't find it, help me. It'll help you, right? You can also copy the instructions. What is capable of the development and the deployment and the scalable gives you and drop it into ChatGPT. Hey, this is going to be confusing, can you walk me through this step by step? Anyway, just talk to the AI like, like it's an employee that we've discussed. Please update the plan Damn it. So what we've got is willing to answer every question and never judge you. Right? Okay. So we don't need to worry about some of these, you know, security best practices. That's not really that big of a deal. So we've got agents and automation. We've already talked about it. The agent helps, you know, it uses that chain of thought reasoning. To build projects and task lists and then goes and does. But here now is, is what we would now call our, our README. .md file, right? It's the file that we're going to put them on, okay? And then the assistant can do other things, right? Optimizing Replit, use in Replit to say this is what we're building, right? No, I want you to update this document. All right, this is a good, a good time to teach this. Uh, no, we're not going to teach it yet. We're going to teach We're going to teach it later. I'm going to say it right now, and then we'll, we'll dive into it later when we actually get into Replit. I want you all to maintain— when you're building with Replit, I want you to use a README file and a progress file. This is— stop, please. Whoops. A huge secret that I learned. I discovered it on a discussion board somewhere.
Please update the Jenny's Recipes plan document that you already created.
I just want to say I love how polite you are, Jon. Where sometimes— and this is back to Michael, I think was asking the question about how do we keep our costs low on, on this, and Basically, a README document is like, here is what we're building. This is the purpose of the app.
This is the purpose of the thing.
And then on to the ChatGPT. I know I do it and I'm just You know what, when the AI overlords take over, I want them to know that I'm kind.
I think the same thing when I talk to it.
I'm always very polite. The exact same thing. I was going to say the same thing.
Well, when the AI overlords take over, you want them to remember that you're always polite. The progress is here is everything that we have built. Because if I'm in here in this and I click new chat, all right, I can't create a new chat while one is in progress right now because it's thinking. It's doing stuff, so it doesn't want to stop. But once it's done, I can click New Chat. If I do that, it loses all of our discussion and it starts over. Exactly. Okay, so we've updated this now. It understands what's happening here. We're going to leverage rapid AI development, all this stuff, and it's like it's being first introduced to the project again. Okay, so conclusion: Jenny's Recipes aims to provide an AI-powered interactive dessert recipe platform knows nothing about what it's built. It then examines all the code. It quickly does that, tries to figure out what you're building. Now, there's a few really good things about this business idea, Jenny, and then gets back into it. But that can obviously cause some problems. It creates a continuity problem with trying to make sure we're always pushing towards the same goals. It doesn't understand what was done in the past. And so by creating these documents, and I'll show you how to do them later, by creating these documents, it allows the agent to understand where it's going. And so when I'm— It is specific. It is desserts that you love and that other people will love with an AI angle at desserts. Super cool. I'm pretty sure there isn't another one doing— no one else is doing this right now. Right? They just aren't. And obviously we could— when, when I do create a new chat, I'm gonna say, you know, after we've created those documents, I'm gonna say, Please update the progress.md file with everything we've done. Great. All right, guys, we've got just a couple more minutes here on this part of the project. New chat. And then I'll say, please review the README and the progress.md documents and familiarize yourself with this project. Now I want you to work on this.
Right.
And then it's like, Jack, Carter has a youth activity tonight. Google that. We could, you know, and the way that I would do that actually is I would jump into Grok, up into Grok here. Great. I know exactly where I left off. Here's where I'm going now. Super cool. So, and we're going to say, is anybody Well, um, this one doesn't, you know, and those files would appear right here. These are your files of your project, right? You just click this out there building an AI-powered dessert headed to the temple. So he's going to be taken off, but he was just telling me about his dinosaur game that he's built, and that's what he's decided his, you know, his thing that he's going to work on. He's going to like a button to hide or whatever, and they would be showing up right here. So we'll create those later, really build about his dinosaur game. So he's been just sitting there working on it the whole time. We haven't created him yet, um, but anyway, that is what it is. Um, that's fun.
All right, anybody have any questions one-on-one? Website.
And a follow-up question would also probably be— okay, we're about 2 hours in right now, half done with day 1. Let's finish up this last thing here.
Hosting and deploying. We talked about how, you know, what's the market potential of it, right? Yep.
Because it's not just whether or not anybody's doing it, but also what's the market. Very good, very good. Now we're getting into more entrepreneurship, TAM, and things like that, right? So, um, let's see. Yes, there are efforts underway to create— they want to do really quick on this. No worries if you don't, you don't have to, just offering. Um, hosting and deploying where you can do it all there, um, inside of Replit. That's really what you're going to want to do. There are alternative options if you want to. Again, Replit can handle all of that stuff. Okay, so You just have to say, hey, you know what, I want to save money on my deployments. How can we do this? There you go. Those are the basic things. You're not going to remember it all. You're going to— AI-powered related desserts, so I don't have specifics. That's— post on X from a few days ago mentioned someone building taste— I'm going to let you guys keep working on this. I'm going to keep talking to your AI and I'm just going to talk in the back. I'm going to want to remember Like, hey, what does CSS mean? How do you find out? See AI as an iOS app. See, this is so cool. Here's another reason why Grok is so awesome. Grok searches all of Twitter, all of X. Around for a minute here. And I'm going to do it while sharing my screen. And I know this is going to take— who can tell me how to find out what CSS means very quickly and easily? Over your screen for just a second when I do this, but I want you to see—
anybody? It's Cascading Style Sheets. Oh, sorry, you could just go search for it in ChatGPT.
Perfect. Or Google, just Google it. You guys know just a little bit, um, a search. ChatGPT can teach you as well, right? You're like, hey, what is CSS? Teach people about what anyone's talking about, right? And so I said, hey, this is cool. Yeah, right, but people are talking about it, but it's still very new and a very good idea. So now let's move towards, um, now here's what we're going to do. A little bit about it, right? And but basically what it means, CSS basically means, like I said, we're going to come back to ChatGPT, we're going to copy this, it's going to fail because it's stupid, and then we're going to click about how I went through figuring out it's going to determine the font size and the, you know, is it Times New Roman or is it Arial? So part, part of, part of what I've talked about here is part of the purpose of the course is not just to learn how to use Replit. Replit's cool. Is it, you know, what color is it? What kind of spacing do we have here? Is there padding around that? Really a lot of it is around how do you build an entire head. Like, it's— anyway, so it's basically your formatting on your front end, right? That's, that's basically what CSS is doing. So, um, and there's a lot of ways to do it. Copy again, and it's going to work. And then we're going to click paste right here, and we're going to say, this, uh, below is a business plan I have for a, an AI, and we're not going to get into that. Um, I'll, I'll give one little tip that I'm just going to say right now. Our, uh, dessert website loud, and I might never come back to it, but occasionally Replit will do something stupid. Business in a weekend, right? Because the business is more than just the product, and they'll do what's called nesting. Well, they'll say, here's my CSS, here are my instructions for the document. I want to use this font, these colors, this whatever, right? The business is the logo, it's the name, it's the domain, right? The web address, right? It's the, um, it's the social profiles if needed, right? It's content that's on. But then it will take additional CSS and it will put it inside of the code. And so you've got this wrapping CSS that's supposed to take care of the whole Web search. I want you to run a market analysis on those social profiles. You can use AI to do all of these things. Now, unfortunately, and present me with a TAM and potential for this business to succeed. We don't have quite yet right? Manus is starting to, you know, a website. And then on one section, it throws something else in and you say, why is this color different? How to do this a little bit. That Manus, M-A-N-U-S, by the way, guys, for those of you that don't know, it shouldn't be different. Please fix it. And it goes in and it looks at only one section. It looks at the— we'll just do a quick Google search on it right now. Manus, right? Overarching one and says, Oh, hey, it is set to blue. The main color is set to blue. Well, then why is it red down here? I don't know. All right. And you— and so you have to know to add it.
It builds.
It's like a whole business in a box. It's amazing. I've already signed up to be— and I'm on the— okay, TAM, by the way, is Total Addressable Market. The waitlist you have, it's not available publicly yet, but you can see some people if you ask. Are there any duplicates? Did you use— that's going to say, all right, this is a $300 million business. Assume— actually, you know what? It can be global. I'm not going to tell it to assume. Now we're going to have Groq think about our plan. Two sets of CSS on this page. Please look for that. Then when it knows on YouTube or if you go on Twitter, X, or LinkedIn, you might come across people talking about showing how unbelievable it is at just doing— to look for that. You can, you know, so sometimes you have to just step back and say how clean things. And so it can do— it's a chain of thought agent that's used. And some— and I learned this, by the way, by the AI finding it itself. I said, you seem to be making changes that are not taking effect. Why do you think using Claude— it's using the same thing that Replit uses behind the scenes, but it's more general instead of just— man, that'd be built in ChatGPT. Boom, it's getting busy. Look at how many things it's doing. It's running this, this, this, uh, chain of thought reasoning thing now that we did earlier. And this is— now you've got it thinking, okay, I need to take a step back focusing on the, uh, the software piece, it can, it can do all these other things as well. But for now, you're gonna have to just kind of think through that. But you— we're coming up to see if Jenny's Recipes is a good idea. By the way, Jenny's Recipe— and figure that out. So you don't even have to know that that was the problem, right? We're all beginner developers here in comparison to these, these chat agents, or just compared to anybody, right? And so let it think. Have a lot of amazing tools available to help you do that. So you've all thought of a business idea now, maybe, right? Or you're starting to think of one, you're starting to get an idea, but you just have to learn how to ask the right question. That's, that's the, that's the beauty. This step right here, it really goes all the way until tomorrow at 3 PM of this course. Um, okay. The next thing we're going to do, guys, all right, tomorrow at 3 PM, I want you to have a business idea that we're going to— everybody, does anybody need to take a break? Bathroom break? Grab some water? We've been sitting for 2 hours. We're going to start really building it tomorrow, right? You can, you can, we might set up Replit tonight. You can straight— you guys are welcome to take a break for a second. But the next thing I want you to do is this, and we're going to go I wish, I don't, let me see if I can do this here. I'm going to start to do it if you feel like you're there. But the reality is I want you to have this ready by, I'm sharing for just a moment here. What if I don't think I can do this tomorrow? I want you to think, and even if you're not going to do it, you know, really good in this system, go all out and start, you know, jennysrecipes.com. That's okay. All right. All right, Caleb, I'm not kicking you out, but I'm going to put you in the waiting room. I want you to pursue the idea and build it up to where we can actually have it. And maybe you do want to do it in the waiting room for a second. I'm going to bring you back. Just want to see if this works. Nice. I kicked Caleb out. Now we can talk about him. All right. And we're going to bring him back in. All right. You back, Caleb? Maybe you say, hey, I do want to do this, and maybe it's just going to be for fun for now, but maybe it will turn into something big as I start to put these recipes out there. Okay, so there's a lot— looks like you're muted. Yes, I'm back. He's back. So I kicked him out for a second. Okay, a lot of pieces you'll have to put together. But for me, I knew that I wanted to build this AI testing idea. I talked to people about it already. I had people said, yeah, that's That's a really good idea. This is cool. I might do this. I might kick some people out, put you in the waiting room, then bring you back in. Um, but what I want you to do— and I'm not going to do it right now, but I might do it, you know, maybe in an hour— what about this? Why don't you try this thing? I'd already kind of worked through a lot of that brainstorming in my head in 30 minutes, or maybe 20 minutes if we're ready and fast. I want you to figure out— and, and so when I got here, I was like, okay, I need to do this, and I want it to be official, right? And so my first element here was about what you want to build. So there's two things that we're going to do. Well, yeah, it's okay. I need, I need a, um, a good name, right? And so I want to just kind of walk you through what I did here. Um, I had— I'm not going to do that yet. We're going to start with ChatGPT. All right. I need everyone to open ChatGPT, or if you want to use, you know, Perplexity or whatever, you, you know, whatever you might have available. I knew that I wanted, because it was a certification thing, I determined that I wanted it to be like an institute or something like that, right? So the AI, so InstaBoard, Groq, or whatever you're comfortable with. If you have Groq open already, fantastic. Start a new chat. And start talking to Grok. You can use Grok for this as well. I'm okay with that. But I want you to use ChatGPT to do oriented names, right? I just said, hey, let's start with a good name. I was thinking this could be a test from the AI Institute or something like that. Maybe the AI Aptitude Institute. If you think this is an idea that you really want to develop a ways, okay, I'm going to, I'm going to share my screen really quick here. I'm going to teach you about projects, okay? In ChatGPT, AI, AI, which would have been so ai.org, that would have been awesome. But, or the API is actually what I wanted, api.org, and it just wasn't. Now I'm on the desktop app. You can also go into, um, ChatGPT unavailable, right? So sometimes you have to come up with those ideas, check the domain, and, you know, do, do what you can, right? I really liked as we got here, AI proficiency. All of my projects, all my stuff, that's all here, right? You've got a history of everything you've ever talked about. It'll go back forever. It's awesome. Okay. But I have a bunch of different apps in here. You've got Dream Crazy. This is Jordan's app that we've been working on, right? And I can come in here and I can see all of the different things that are in here. Now, I haven't done it a lot in here, but, but Jordan needs to have his own project where every discussion you can upload files, you can upload instructions to say, hey, you need to call me boss every time you tell me something or call me chief or always, you know, make sure you compliment me every single time you answer. You can literally say, hey, right? Respond in Spanish. You know, respond as if I were your king. You could do whatever the heck you want in here. And every time you ask it something, it will obey the overarching instructions, but it will also consider everything that's inside the project. So for my General AI Proficiency Institute, I have tons and tons of documents in here and it knows everything that's been said and all the different things. Hey, how am I going to, you know, structure these tests and how are we going to, you know, let's build a logo. Hey, I need to build this, right? Anyway, so I have lots of different things that I'm working on in projects. And so ChatGPT can do this and Grok cannot, right? Someone asked earlier, why do we use certain things? Well, I use ChatGPT because I love the projects. And I keep everything inside of here when I'm working on something. So in order to create a new project, you just click New Project and you get to work in it. Okay, so I would like for you to do that. I believe you have to be in a paid version of ChatGPT, which is $20 a month. But the next task we're going to do right now, guys, is I want you to focus on your business idea and you're going to take some time. There's a little bit of free time that you're going to work on right now. And feel free to jump in and ask a question if you want to get into a private room to say, hey, can we jump into a private room for a second? I want to just work with you on this idea. I'll throw everyone into a waiting room for a second. We'll work for a few minutes and then we'll come back. Okay. But I want us to work through the idea. I'm going to take you back into the General AI Proficiency Institute. I don't know if I started in there. Test blueprint design. Uh, let's just go back to here, see if I can go to the very top of this. I wish there was a button that let me just go to the very, very, very top. All right, here you go. So here's my initial prompt to build the website that's now given me $60,000 of revenue. Okay. I want to create a website that checks the proficiency levels based on an intelligence test that shows the aptitude for an individual to succeed in a world with AI. This means they need to know how to talk to AI, how to be good prompt engineers, and they need to have a good brain to figure out how complex systems can quickly be put together. Can you help me build this? I can definitely help you build this. Here's how we break it down, right? Here's what we're going to do. Great. Let's start with a good name, right? And I started working on names and then I started, you know, anyway, but it started, but that's how my business started. I was just like, I have an idea and I could have, and by the way, I actually did, I know I did before this talk to AI about these ideas and I already kind of knew what I wanted to ask here. I had done that and it's probably in some other, it might be in Groq, it might be in one of these other chats here that's not inside of the project. Bottom line is when I started this project, I already knew what I was going to try to build. But Jenny, I want you to do your own. I want you to do your own. Or maybe, maybe, maybe, Jenny, you're going to help Jordan with his. And so you don't do that. Or Rosanne, you want to work on your cleaning business or you want to work on something, you know, that you like doing with whatever. Jenny, do your recipe thing. I actually want to see you do something with recipes. I want you guys to work on something. And honestly, Jenny and Rosanne, if you want, you can work together on this, right? You can just say, hey, let's, you know, you guys talk amongst each other and say, let's build this together. Or maybe you both want to do your own thing. Totally fine. But by the end of these 3 days, guys, you're going to have a real product that works that you can put in front of people and say, try this out. Okay, so that's where we're going to go from now. So for the next little bit here, I want you to just talk to ChatGPT or Grok or somebody, your AI, talk to your neighbor, talk to your wife, and whatever you want to do. And just say, I've got this idea. What do you think? I'd prefer if you do it with AI because I want you to learn about talking to AI and you can start it in a project. You can just go into it and just say, hey, I'm trying to build a business. Here are some of my ideas, right? Help me. Help me pick what I want. Right? So just, just talk. Okay. I want this, this brainstorming session where you're talking to AI to go for the next, we're going to say 15 minutes. So that's going to take us to 5:33. Okay. Feel free to ping me if you want to, if you want to say something, right? Just message me directly. And if I put you in a, if I'm going to put you in another room, I'm going to, I'll tell you guys, I'll say, hey, I'm going to switch everybody off for a minute here.
Okay.
And we'll be fast. We'll go back and forth. Okay, um, by the way, Nate, you asked a question earlier about limitations on Solidity or anything like— no, there are no limitations. It can do anything you can think of. Yeah, you want to build a Web3 project here, you want to build something that checks patterns and auto-trades for you, you want to build an auto-trade, auto-trader with, you know, meme coins, do it. You can do that and just say, hey, I'm going to put $20 in and see if it works. Maybe I'll lose all my money, but it will do it. And you can be like, I lost all my money, what'd you do wrong? But it could do anything. So yeah, talk to AI, come up with a, with an idea. I'm going to sit here and I'm going to talk to it about my, um, about the course that I'm teaching right now and this website I'm trying to build and see if I can get it to Do something cool here. And Jordan, since, since we're already building dream crazy, I want you to try to focus on one of your other cool ideas. Just for the purposes of this exercise. Yeah. All right guys, we got just a couple more minutes here on this part of the project. Um, Carter has a youth activity tonight headed to the temple, so he's going to be taking off, but he was just telling me about his dinosaur game that he's built And that's what he's decided. His, you know, his thing that he's going to work on, he's going to like really build out his dinosaur game. So he's been just sitting there working on it the whole time. That's fun. All right. Anybody have any questions one-on-one they want to do really quick on this? No worries if you don't. You don't have to just talk. Okay. So I'm gonna let you guys keep working on this. I'm going to keep talking to your AI, and I'm just going to kind of talk in the background for a minute here. And I'm going to do it while sharing my screen. And I know this is going to take over your screen for just a second when I do this, but I want you to see just a little bit about how I went through figuring out— so part, part of, part of what I've talked about here is part of the purpose of the course is not just to learn how to use Replit. Replit's cool. Really, a lot of it is around how do you build an entire business in a weekend, right? Because the business is more than just the product. The business is the logo. It's the name. It's the domain, right? The web address, right? It's the, it's the social profiles if needed, right? It's content that's on those social profiles. You can use AI to do all of these things. Now, unfortunately, we don't have quite yet right? Manus is starting to, you know, allow to do this a little bit. That Manus, M-A-N-U-S, by the way, guys, for those of you that don't know, in fact, we'll just do a quick Google search on it right now. Manus, right? It, it builds. It's like a whole business in a box. It's amazing. I've already signed up to be and I, I'm on the, the waitlist. You have— it's not available publicly yet, but you can see some people if you go on YouTube or if you go on Twitter, X, or LinkedIn, you might come across people talking about showing how unbelievable it is at just doing things. And so it can do— it's a chain of thought agent that's using Claude. It's using the same thing that Replit uses behind the scenes, but it's more general. Instead of just focusing on the software piece, it can do all these other things as well. But for now, You're going to have to just kind of think through that, but you have a lot of amazing tools available to help you do that. So you've all thought of a business idea now, maybe, right? Or you're starting to think of one. You're starting to get an idea. This step right here, it really goes all the way until tomorrow at 3 PM. All right. Tomorrow at 3 PM, I want you to have a business idea that we're going to build. We're going to start really building it tomorrow. Right? You can, you can, we might set up Replit tonight. You can start to do it if you feel like you're there. But the reality is I want you to have this ready by tomorrow. I want you to think, and even if you're not going to do it, you know, really go all out and start, you know, Jenny's recipes.com. That's okay. All right. I want you to pursue the idea and build it up to where we can actually have it. And maybe you do want to do it. Maybe you say, hey, I do want to do this. And maybe it's just going to going to be for fun for now, but maybe it will turn into something big as I start to put these recipes out there. Okay, so there's a lot of pieces you'll have to put together. But for me, I knew that I wanted to build this AI testing idea. I'd talked to people about it already. I had people said, yeah, that's a really good idea. And what about this? Why don't you try this thing? I'd already kind of worked through a lot of that brainstorming in my head. And, and so when I got here, I was like, okay, I need to do this. And I want it to be a official, right? And so my first element here was, okay, I need, I need a, um, a good name, right? And so I want to just kind of walk you through what I did here. Um, I had— I, I knew that I wanted— because it was a certification thing, I determined that I wanted it to be, um, like an institute or something like that, right? So the AI— so institute-oriented names, right? I just said, hey, let's start with a good name. I was thinking this could be a test from the AI Institute or something like that. Maybe the AI Aptitude Institute, the AI AI, which would have been so cool, ai.org. That would have been awesome. Or the AIPI is actually what I wanted, ai.org, and it just wasn't available. Sometimes you have to come up with those ideas, check the domain, and do what you can. I really liked is we got here AI Proficiency Institute, AIPI, focuses on measuring AI-related skills, right? Test focuses, focus names, right? AIAT, AI-RT, AI-FT, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? So I liked a few things, talked about it. I said I want it to be very academic so it can be eventually adopted as a standard. I want to charge fees for AI curriculum. They can take a course. And so I want to make sure it's not just a test, but it's also whatever, right? And so I just kept going back and forth with these ideas, read through them. Okay, I like this, I like that. Hey, and then I said, hey, please do a quick Google search on these names to see what you can find, right? See, or to see if anybody else is already doing something like this. And I found a couple things that are, you know, but, but really there's almost nobody measuring AI proficiency of you know, of just, you know, general employees or things like that, right? And I said, okay, that's cool. Domain availability is hard. It didn't do a great job at searching for that. And so I said, okay, I'm just going to go into GoDaddy, right? How many of you have not purchased a domain before? Okay, Jenny and Rosanne. Looks like everybody else has, right? And that's fine. It's super easy, right? Purchasing a domain, if you've never done it before, might seem difficult, but it's really not. First of all, if you don't know how to do it, where do you go? Ask ChatGPT, how do I buy a domain? How do I, how do I buy a website? Right? But GoDaddy.com is a very, is a very solid one. I also used to like Google Domains. I used to love buying my domains from Google because it was all integrated with emails and things like that. Now you have to do it, you have to buy domains through Squarespace. I like using GoDaddy 'cause I just think they've got a lot of things figured out. Although I will warn you, if you use GoDaddy, they will try to sell you a whole lot of stuff, right? And so for AI, you know, the AI Institute, I did my thing, I figured out genaipi.org, right? I eventually kind of worked through it. I said, hey, should I do a.org, right? Hey, yeah, using this adds credibility, especially if you want it to be seen as authoritative, academic, or research-based, right? The.org could be really, really good, right? And it turned out that that's actually worked really well. As I, as I landed my first client with the, with the Utah County, it just fit. Nobody had any questions. It was like, oh yeah, you're an institute and a.org and you have this. They don't care. They're not like, well, how long have you been around and how many people have you done? They don't care. They're just like, oh, you can give us some proficiency and you can give us some solutions. We need this. Great. And so the things that I put in there, a lot of entrepreneurship in the beginning, especially with your first customers, is you can take two approaches. One is, hey, you're my first customer. I want to work through this, right? I think Michael did that right when he went to— when he went to some of these Technology Transfer Offices, which I've actually worked with before, right? I think they're really cool. You can go to a university and say, hey, I want to look at the technologies you have available that people haven't used yet. And you can license it from them and build a business off of somebody else's idea. And the business, you know, you'll pay, you know, like BYU, for example, has their own office. You can go in there and you'll pay BYU a royalty, but they'll give you an idea and you can then go build a business. Ideas, guys, are a dime a dozen, right? In a minute here, I might ask you guys to share some of your ideas, and some of you might be like, but what if someone else takes my idea? Trust me that the idea is almost worthless these days. It— you can't even patent an idea or copyright an idea, whatever. It all comes down to execution. Who can build it and sell it? Right. If you can build it and sell it, you are so valuable because we could sit here together as a group of, you know, 6 or 7 really smart people. Look at Carter all dressed up in his white shirt there now. But you can— we could sit here and we could come up with 100 really good ideas that could make money by next week. I promise you, so easy. And with, with AI to help, Amazing. People are going to need the services businesses. People are going to need this software business. You can, you can say, hey, I want to build, you know, whatever business is already out there. Airbnb. I want to build Airbnb, but I want to make it better. Great. Take the idea, talk to AI, figure out how to make it better. But it's still just an idea. The money comes from actually selling it to someone. And we're not there yet. We're not there. We're not to that part of the course yet. But selling it to someone is a skill in and of itself, but it can also be automated by AI. AI can teach you how to do it really, really well. So we'll get there, right? So then I asked it, you know, a.org. I actually had a question. I was like, can you use a.org if you're a for-profit? Like, I thought maybe.orgs were only for nonprofits. I had that question. I wasn't sure. I was kind of sure, but I just wasn't sure. And so AI said, yeah, hey, no big deal. You can do it. You can use a.org, whatever you want. You can, you can, you can have a nonprofit, you can have some for-profit, but you can be a for-profit with a.org domain. No problem. And you can use the.org domain to establish credibility because I think in the beginning, I think.orgs were actually only limited to nonprofits and now that's not the case anymore. So a lot of people just naturally associate.org with, oh, that's a nonprofit. Oh, this is a legit institution. This is a university. This is, you know, an institute, whatever. Right. And so I'm the general—
general—
I can apply it to anything— artificialintelligence or AIproficiencyinstitute.org. Like, I just feel official. People are ready to buy from me because I came up with a cool name that just feels nice. Right. And it's, you know, that's my, you know, this specific product that I built. If we go back to Jenny'sRecipes.com, that's a pretty nice name actually, right? It's very homey. You've got a brand, a personal brand to tie to it, a face, right? People want to buy from people. They want to be friends with Jenny and hear her recipes. That's pretty cool. Like Craigslist, right? Who here has heard of Craigslist, right? Craigslist, he just uses his name. I've got a list. He uses his name. That was his thing and it just became a thing, right? So almost no name is bad. There are definitely, there are definitely bad names. For example, you don't want it to be too long. Like I didn't want people to have to type in generalartificialintelligenceproficiencyinstitute.org. Like I've, I've lost the game already. No one's ever visiting that website. I wanted it to be super short. I wanted aipi.org. Artificial intelligence proficiency institute. That would've been perfect. But aipi.org was taken and I couldn't figure out who owns it. It doesn't, it's not even a real website. Sometimes people just sit on it, right? And AIPi, AIPi. Oh man, that just like slides off the tongue. AIPi. So this was my name that I really, really wanted, slightly more direct and easy to say. And I said, okay, let's, let's do that, right? So I kind of went back and forth and I said, AIPi rolls off the tongue well. But they're taken. What do I do? Right? And so I kind of figured out and I had to add the gen, G-E-N. And that was also a play on words a little bit because Gen AI also stands for generative AI where you're generating a video or a picture or a text or whatever. And it's like a huge thing right now. It's a Gen AI API. It just, it worked. That's how I landed on mygenaiapi.org. So I went in then to GoDaddy. And I typed in genai.pi.org, search domains. This could be the start of something big. Now, when I did it, it said, hey, this is available. Great. And it was $19, right? Now, obviously, I'm— am I logged in here? Yeah, I am logged in as Jon Cheney. So I can't see it because I've got your videos like from Zoom right here. But yeah, I was able to come in and when you, when you search for a name, Right, let's do, let's do Jenny's, Jenny's Recipe. I think I got your name, it's just J-E-N-N-I, right? Dot com. I don't know if I got that right, but I think I did, right? Jenny'sRecipes.com is available for 1 cent. So cool. So you can say, all right, I'm serious about this, I think it's worth exploring, or maybe I want to do this sometime in the next few months. But either way, this is too good of a, of a domain to let go. Like, I really think I'm going to do a recipe book someday and it'd be super cool to point people at it with Jenny's Recipes, right? So for $0.01 for your first year, you can reserve it for a year. Now when you get into it, you buy it, whatever, it'll be different. But then you can look down here, you can say, here's some different ideas. Jenny'sRecipes.ai. Maybe you end up building an AI system. And I know this sounds crazy that you could build an AI system, but you can tie into ChatGPT's API and you can say, all right, ChatGPT API or AI, I want you to become a chatbot to talk to people about my recipes. Right? So you put in your recipes, right, which requires your, you know, a little bit of manual upload, right? You need this many cups of flour and this many, this whatever. This is the best brownies ever. Took me a long time. One time I was thinking about how do you make brownies? Like, how does, how does chocolate turn into bread? Like, I don't get it. I couldn't figure it out. But anyway, I learned. Roseanne's laughing at me. But anyway, you, so you can come in here, you can buy this. Now, a.ai is trending, and so therefore, right, economics, supply and demand. More people want it, they're going to charge more for it. But yeah, $0.99 for the first year for Jenny's Recipes.online. That's space, that's VIP. You could buy all these. The reality is they're going to try to sell you on all these different things you need and want, whatever. Just get a domain and point people at it. The things that are going to matter a little bit more are going to be things like, um, Instagram. Right? So this is where— this is something you got to check now. So let's check it. Let's go to Instagram. And we'll go to— you guys come follow me. Working towards 10,000 followers at Cheney Piano. I'm a pianist. So I've got my piano behind me right here. Anyway, I have 3 pianos in this room and 4 guitars, 2 saxophones. Anyway, so we're going to search. We're going to search for Jenny's. Recipes. Okay, so this Jenny's_Recipes exists already. We're going to search for the exact thing. No results. So it looks like Jenny's Recipes is available, right? And then you also have to think about, okay, where is a recipe, you know, site, brand, whatever, going to be important? Maybe you're not thinking like me, Right? Maybe you're like, you know what, I just don't really know. So let's jump in here. Let's— I want to start a recipe website called Jenny's Recipes. The domain Jenny'sRecipes.com is available. And the Instagram handle @jennysrecipes— oops— is also available. What other platforms might be important for my audience? Feel free to ask me a few questions one by one. To understand what I'm trying to build. Okay, this is an important part of the ChatGPT process. ChatGPT is capable of asking you step-by-step questions and updating its memory and understanding with every question, right? So right now I asked it one by one. It did not listen to me. And it says, that sounds like a great idea. And I'm going to say, Please ask me each question one at a time and ask additional questions as needed until you feel like you have a good understanding of my business.
Okay.
So who's your target audience? Are you focused on busy home cooks? Jenny, why don't you take off mute right here and we'll answer these questions together. Okay, we're just gonna— we're just gonna do this for fun. Just, you can use it or not use it, but I want to just— so what are you focused on? Beginner chefs, health-conscious eaters, specific cuisine? What's your— what's your angle? Um, family-friendly meals, meals that I love, I just want to share meals that I love, whatever, right? Like, yeah, desserts, people that love desserts. I want to focus on desserts. Great. What kind of desserts we focus on? Classic baked goods, no-bake desserts, international, healthy, a mix of everything, whatever I feel like. Mix of everything. Yeah, everything. Just want to share what I love. Sounds perfect. Sharing what you love will make the content more authentic and enjoyable. Great. Okay, what kind of content will you create? Will you primarily share written recipes with photos, or do you plan to include video tutorials, step-by-step process shots, or even live baking sessions? What do you think? Um, probably written recipes. Yeah, photos. Written recipes with photos. That feels easiest to me. Keeps things manageable. Great. How do you envision the website layout? Will be a blog-style format where you post recipes as blog entries, or do you want a structured recipe index with filters like types of desserts, difficulty level, ingredients? Yeah, probably types of dessert and difficulty level. Yeah. I love the idea of filtering and creating an interactive experience to find desserts that meet my needs. So memory updated, it's learning about it, right? Next question, how do you want your audience to engage? Would you like them to leave reviews, rate, recipes, submit their own variations, or interact in any other way, leave comments? Like, what, what do you want? Um, submit own variations. Submit own variations. I think this could be cool if I present my— or if, uh, the primary recipe is presented And then you can navigate easily to variations that people have tried. All right, cool. Brilliant idea. It adds a community-driven aspect to the site, encourages engagement while keeping the original recipe as the foundation. Next question: Do you plan to monetize the site? Are you considering ads, sponsored posts, affiliate links where you're selling baking tools and ingredients? Premium content, or even selling a cookbook in the future? What sounds the easiest for you to make money with this? It could simply be— it could simply be like, you know what, I don't really know how, I'll just put ads on the site and I'll just try to drive a lot of people to it. They don't have to worry about it.
You can just install, you know, Google AdMob.
What if they think the ads are obnoxious? If you don't— if you don't like ads, then you say I don't love ads, but want to figure out an easy way to monetize. What creative and automated ways can you think of, especially considering AI? It's a source for content. Great approach. Avoiding ads can keep the user experience clean while still finding creative ways to generate revenue. Here are some AI-powered and automated monetization ideas tailored for Jenny's Recipes. AI-powered recipe customization, premium feature. Users input available ingredients or dietary preferences, and AI suggests modified versions of your recipes. It's cool. AI-generated meal planning, cookbooks, printable, whatever, affiliate links, AI-powered recipe remix feature. It's cool. Ooh, users can enter a favorite dessert and AI suggests creative variations. Turn your chocolate cake into a mocha caramel delight. Offer this as a paid tool or exclusive to members, right? Premium membership for exclusive features, merchandise store, AI-generated recipe videos. That's pretty cool. All right. Out of all of these, I'm now just applying my own business sense here. I think the way that you could get your first dollar, because remember, that's what we're aiming for here, guys, right? We're not just making cool stuff. We want to generate an income that can actually provide us some money. I don't care if it's $100 a month, right? That pays for your, you know, all of your ChatGPT and Grok and everything you have. AI for free now, right? That's what you want. Um, I like the angle of the AI-powered recipe customization, uh, allowing users to upload ingredients they have and then create desserts based on those things could be something people are willing to pay for. I might do, you know, exclusive recipe books in the future. But let's start with this AI idea. All right. Okay, I'll update this later. Okay, exciting and innovative approach. Thanks, it was your idea. Um, AI-powered recipe customization tool had real value. Next question: how would you like the AI feature to function? A simple text-based input, a guided selection process, or a more advanced option where users— now we don't want to do that. I think for this one we're going to say text-based input. Text-based input sounds easiest, although a visual selection with pre-populated food images could be cool too, if we can build both options. Sounds like a fantastic plan. Having both options, text-based input for simplicity and a visual selection for ease of use, will make the feature more accessible and user-friendly. Next question: Do you have a specific AI model or tool in mind for recipe generation, or would you like recommendations? What's your recommendation? That's crazy. There's already the Spoonacular API that adds nutritional information and substitutions. That's pretty cool right there. Let's go with your approach. It's saying let's start with GPT-4 and then maybe later integrate Spinnacular if you want to bring some of their stuff in. Let's go with your approach. Now memory is updated. Next step, user flow design. Here's how it could work step by step. It's literally starting to build it now, like the ideas of what the flow will be like. This is how it's going to work. This is what's going to happen. This is great. This is great. Yes, a simple wireframe would be helpful. Wireframe or layout would be helpful. Look how cool this thing is. It's writing code right now. Now it says run your code to see how it looks and interact with the output preview. We're very high-level basic, but hey, these are the ingredients. I've got this one, I've got this one, I've got this one, or hey, butter, generate dessert recipe. It obviously doesn't work right now, but this is just an idea. Now you can say to it, Please make the wireframe much more visually appealing. I'm just going to say that. This is boring right now. Maybe they can do something better. They can give it an idea because when you give the AI an idea, when we grab this wireframe and drag it into Replit, It's going to say, okay, well, I built what you showed me, right? And if you don't love it, then just don't even show it.
Say, just built this, right? Funny enough, that's what real developers do too.
It's like, I just built what you showed me. Exactly. It's exactly what they do. Yeah, yeah, they— I have so many times where I'm like, hey, Talon. Talon's my, my lead developer that I always— that's worked with me for a decade, right? I was like, hey, Talon, build me something that does this, this, and this. And it shows up and it's like, it's the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life, but it does exactly what I asked. And I'm like, okay, well, did you think about making it look good? I was like, he's like, no, I just wanted to work. Okay, well, you have to show this to a client, so can you like— well, what do you want me to do? Okay, well, let's add this and let's add this. It'll do exactly what you tell Hey, this is already better. Look how cool that looks. I love it. I think that's great. Now I can screenshot this. I just grab it and screenshot it. Boom. Now I'm going to just drop it into my chat here. Looks great. Let's put together a development plan. Note that I will build this completely inside of replit.com. Please create a business plan and development plan that I can give Replit so that it knows everything we've discussed. So note that I asked for two things: a business plan and a development plan. A business plan is going to say, here's the purpose of the site, this is what we're doing, right? Business overview, focus, social media, business model, whatever, whatever, whatever, right? And it tells me all those different things. Then the development plan is going to be How are we actually going to build it? What code are we going to write? Here's the key features, here's everything we're going to do, development plan. I think we're going to use this, this, this, and this. We're going to host it all on Replit. Phase 1, see, look, this is crazy. Development phases. Phase 1, MVP development, estimated 4-6 weeks. Now, we're going to build it in 4-6 minutes. User engagement features, monetization and scalability. Please update the plan and know that with replit.com, we can build this by 2 hours from now. Using the agent on replit.com, feel free to Google this and learn about it. Actually, not feel free to, I want it to Google it, Google this and learn learn about it so that you understand what we're doing. To build everything, Replit is capable of the development and the deployment and the scalable deployment. Everything we've discussed. Update the plan. So what we've got here now is, is what we would now call our readme.md file, right? It's the file that we're going to put in Replit to say this is what we're building, right? No, I want you to update this document. Stop. Please. Whoops.
Please update the Jenny's recipes plan document that you already created.
I just want to say I love how polite you are, Jon, to the ChatGPT. I know I do it. I'm just, you know what, when the AI overlords take over, I want them to know that I'm nice.
I think the same thing when I talk to it.
I'm always very polite. The exact same thing. I was going to say the same thing. Well, when the AI overlords take over, you want them to remember that you're always polite.
Exactly. We've updated this now. It understands what's happening here. We're going to leverage rapid AI development, all this stuff. Okay, so conclusion: Jenny's Recipes aims to provide an AI-powered interactive dessert recipe platform. Now there's a few really good things about this business idea, Jenny. It is specific. It is desserts that you love and that other people will love with an AI angle at desserts. Super cool. I'm pretty sure there isn't another one doing No one else is doing this right now. They just aren't. Obviously, we could Google that. The way that I would do that actually is I would jump into Groq here and we're going to say, is anybody out there building an AI-powered dessert website.
And a follow-up question would also probably be, you know, what's the market potential of it, right? Yep.
Because it's not just whether or not anybody's doing it, but also what's the market thing. Very good, very good. Now we're getting into more entrepreneurship, TAM, and things like that, right? So, um, let's see. Yes, there are efforts underway to create AI-powered related desserts. So I don't have specifics, uh, Okay, that's— post on X from a few days ago mentioned someone building Tasty AI as an iOS app. See, this is so cool. Here's another reason why Grok is so awesome. Grok searches all of Twitter, all of X, about what anyone's talking about, right? And so it said, hey, this is cool. Yeah, right? But people are talking about it, but it's still very new and a very good idea. So now let's move towards, um, now, now here's what we're going to do. We're going to go back to ChatGPT. We're going to copy this. It's going to fail because it's stupid, and then we're going to click copy again and it's going to work. And then we're going to click paste right here, and we're going to say this, uh, below is a business plan I have for a, an AI-powered dessert website. Deep Search, I want you to run a market analysis and present me with a TAM and potential for this business to succeed. Uh, okay, TAM, by the way, is total addressable market, right? That's going to say, all right, this is a $300 million business, right? Uh, assume— actually, you know what, it could be global. I'm not going to let it assume. I'm not going to tell it to assume. Um, all right, so now we're going to have Grok think about our plan that we built in ChatGPT. Boom, it's getting busy. Look at how many things it's doing. It's running this, this, this chain of thought reasoning thing now that we did earlier. And we're coming up to see if Jenny's Recipes is a good idea. By the way, Jenny's Recipes might not be a great idea if it's only focused on desserts. Maybe it is. Maybe you do it, you start with just desserts, you call it Jenny's Recipes, but you're name allows you later to expand into anything, right?
So lots of naming. Also, when you ask the question if any— if anything like that is already being developed, it actually gives you more ideas for things you could add to your own. If that—
when it said yes, people are developing, yep, you can absolutely do that. One thing that I— this is just a general entrepreneurship lesson I've learned over, over the past couple decades of being an entrepreneur. Um, just because someone else is building it doesn't mean you shouldn't, right? Even if you built the exact same thing, you're going to have slight differentiators. Like, you guys are going to go in different directions. There's going to be— there's, especially in a big market, there's lots of room to be out there. You want to be the best, right? But bottom line is, it says that the total addressable market for an AI-powered dessert recipe website $65 million to $195 million based on the broader recipe market and AI adoption trends. It seems likely that Jennie's Recipes can succeed with its unique features like AI customization, user-submitted variations in a growing market. Strong growth potential with a 39.1% CAGR. Holy shit. I don't even know. That's a compounded annual growth rate, is a CAGR. Self-driving vehicles, telehealth, travel, um, you know, technology—
those are CAGRs of roughly 10%.
Cybersecurity is 15%, by the way.
Exactly.
So a 40% CAGR with this type of business idea— do it.
Do that. The total addressable market doesn't mean that, that you'll make $65 million a year. That means everybody using the space altogether makes $65 million.
Your plan is what slice of that $65 million could you make.
Exactly.
So global recipe websites market is valued at $6.5 billion in 2023, is expected to grow to $12.9 billion by 2032, with desserts likely making up 20 to 30% of this, or $1.3 to $1.95 billion. AI-powered platforms still emerging could represent 5 to 10% of this dessert segment, leading to our TAM estimate. Okay, 39.1% CAGR, significant opportunities for specialized platforms like Jennie's Recipes. Okay, so potential for success: it stands out with features like this, this, this, and this, right? However, competition from established recipe sites and emerging ad platforms means Success will depend on effective marketing and user engagement. Awesome. Great. Remember that you got to get people to engage somehow with your site. So how are we going to do that? How are we going to make money? So you can keep reading and keep learning about this. I'm not going to do all this right now, although I will forward all this to you, Jenny. I'll just copy it and I can actually share. You can share a chat. I can just share this link right here and text it to you. You can read the whole thing, copy it, put it in your notes. Okay, so potential for success, all these things. Now what we're going to do next is this. We're going to switch to think mode. Excellent. Seems like we are on the right track. Help me create a bulletproof plan to launch this business and succeed. I want you to focus on AI-powered systems that can keep my workload low while I build this business. Note that I am using Replit to build the system and can program highly automated systems to generate content, connect to sites like Buffer, and post automatically for me.
Are you essentially asking it to make like a business plan in a traditional sense, like what investors would look like?
No, you obviously can. Yeah. So I'll get to that in a second. Consider this idea, but bring yours as they may be even better. I want you to put together a launch plan for the next 12 months. Knowing that I can have this fully built within 1 week. I am starting from zero with all social media. Please present a social plan that will likely be important here. What other growth hacks can I follow to get outsized, outsized and accelerated growth of this business? So I'm just going to ask it this plan. Now, obviously, Nate, I can say, all right, now put that into numbers and I need a pro forma and I need some whatever. And you know, how much capital is this going to take? And you can ask all those types of things, but I'm assuming assuming that everything it's going to give us here is going to be doable with AI on Replit within a week, right? Or on Google, or sorry, on ChatGPT, on Groq, on whatever these systems that we have. We're gonna need to build a logo. You're gonna need to, you know, get a website. You need to set it up. And those things don't take very long. You just have to kind of go through the process, right? But I'm gonna have it think through here. And then as soon as it's done, I'm going to copy everything it gives me, and I'm going to put it back into ChatGPT. I'm going to say, please consider these points and thoughts. Do we need to adjust the replet development— the, or sorry, do we need to adjust the business and development plan document? Right, so that's what we're gonna do next. So here's the core business overview. This is what we're doing, okay? Free access initially, premium features planned for later monetization. So your first task, Jenny, will be to just get people on the site using it. Okay, awesome. Here's how AI keeps your workload minimal. Content generation creates blog posts, recipe descriptions, and social media captions automatically, right? Maybe the only thing you need to do, Jenny, because it's— it might be difficult if you're, um, if you're trying to have it create images as well, because it might create like ridiculous creations that are like impossible for you to make, and You'll get yourself in trouble that way somehow. Now, you could, you could do that. You could have this whole thing be on autopilot so that it just runs and builds things and makes things. And this is how you would make this. That might be a good idea. Kind of want to do it myself. It's a super good idea in this type of a growth market. It's really, really good. People die for a 39% CAGR market. That's amazing. I don't understand. I need to do more research into why is desserts growing at 39%. What? Like, I don't understand it.
Are people eating more desserts that much fat?
Like, food, Jon. Everyone loves food. It's just sugar is up and to the right. Like, I don't, I don't know. Cool. Anyway, um, so Buffer, by the way, guys, now obviously I'm bringing some things in and things that I know, and I just have been around for a while. Buffer just automatically posts to social for you. You can upload it and schedule it to post to all the different platforms. So I upload one picture and say, I want this to be on Twitter and Instagram and Facebook and LinkedIn and Pinterest and all these things, and it will just do it for me, you know, at 7:34 PM on Thursday or whatever. Okay, so, um, AI tools generate SEO-friendly titles, meta descriptions, and content structures. So cool. Replit will do that in an instant for you. User engagement— AI chatbots or email responders can handle queries and send personalized recipe suggestions. Very cool. So here's your whole launch plan. Freaking amazing, right? Low workload, organic growth, data-driven, scalable copy. All right, so now here's what we're going to do. Um, here is a launch plan. Paste. Enter. Enter. Here is some TAM research. Back to here. And we're going to just copy this. Please consider all of this and update the Jenny recipes. Plan— not recipes— plan document as needed in the business development plans. Whoops. Please also rename the document to be Jenny's Recipes. Plan. So I want you guys to just sit back for a second, and while it's doing this, think about if you gave all of what we just did with Grok and what I just told ChatGPT to do— if we gave that to just a regular human, how long would that take to do all of that market analysis and research, come up with a good TAM, come up with a report, analyze it, create a launch plan that's coherent and really, really solid, and then analyze all that and integrate it into our existing business and development plan that we've come up with.
If you have a really good person who's done it a lot, probably a month.
Exactly.
And, and, and I worked at an agency that did this stuff all the time for 14 years. I'm telling you, if you had somebody who has years of experience at least a month.
If it's a new guy, 3. We just did it in 10 minutes, guys. And I'm picking on Jenny here, guys. You all, I'm sure you're all smart enough to be able to say, okay, this is what I need to do tonight, right? I need to go through and work this process for my idea, right? Jenny gets the bonus today. I'll pick on someone else tomorrow. But anyway, so now we've got a really good plan. Here's the name: Jenny's Recipes, right? Jenny's Recipes Plan. Still can't get the name of this document right, but whatever, I don't care. AI-powered dessert recipe customization, social media, Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok. You need to have all of those working initially free. Here's what's going on here, right? And so then you could keep digging deeper, right? You could say, okay, what is my TikTok plan, right? You know, is there, is there a way that I can automate creation of that stuff, right? Anyway, so now we're going to copy this and I'm not going to do it right now. Because I'm not going to, I'm not going to sic my AI on this. But basically what you're going to do, Jenny, is you're going to come in and you're going to create a new Replit project and you're going to give it all of this information and just say, let's go. And it will just start building it. And then you'll have like your first little thing. You'll say, great, okay, let's try out this AI thing. Let's try this. Now, in order to do that, we're going to need to connect ChatGPT. We're going to need to connect some APIs and things like that. And in fact, you know, I said I might bounce around other people's projects. I might kind of help you go through yours and build it out. In fact, I'm deciding I'm going to do that right now because I think it's super helpful and useful to see the way that I would think through building this with you guys, right? And I need you— you're going to need to create your own Replit account. I'm going to give you guys a Replit referral code. You get $10 of free, you know, credits to use, and I get $10 of free credits for everyone that signs up under it. So that's the one little, you know, affiliate cool thing I get here, but you guys save $10 too. So I'll send you that. It's just this link right here. Um, refer a friend, copy link. Okay, I'm going to post this into the ChatGPT— not ChatGPT, into Zoom. And where is it? I need chat to Everyone in meeting. Okay. Okay. All right. So I've sent the Replit thing over. You guys all, if you don't have it already, I know that a couple of you might already, that's fine. But set, set up your Replit account. This is, this is where you're going to want to start getting busy implementing your plan, right? So remember, you don't want to get to this plan point. Well, you know, it's not true. You can get to this plan point. You don't have to figure out your name first. I was going to— I personally like to just kind of figure out that branding first because for me, that's more of a mental thing. When I figure out the branding, like when I first— when I, when I, when I bought genaipi.org, I was like, okay, I've got a business now. I now own a business that is going to do AI proficiency measurement and training and courses and certification. And then it just feels real to me. And then I'm like, okay, for this to succeed, I need to do this, this, this, and this and this and this and this. My brain just like pushes it all out, right? Because it's real. So coming up with this idea, Jenny's Recipes, actually pretty good. I really love using a name. I like the name Jenny. It's a good girl name that's broad. I want to actually do this. Jenny's Recipes. I just want to Google that, see if anybody— okay, there's a Jenny's Ice Cream with one N. Jenny's Scratch-Made Kitchen, also with one N. Jenny's Recipes. Is fantastic. Now there is an ice cream shop which is in the dessert area. You've got rebelpastures.com and there's a Jenny's Favorite Recipes thing. But as soon as you have your website up running with blogs on it and things like that, you're going to jump straight to the top. There's In Jenny's Kitchen. That's something that's a little bit of a thing there, but nothing that's close enough that you're going to have confusion.
Jenny's Recipes is a great name.
That's one penny. It's one penny. Jenny, go buy it. Yeah, one penny. Go to GoDaddy. It's, it's actually a little bit more than that. And let's go back to that for just a second to look at it when you are buying it, right? Click Make It Yours. I'm not going to click it because it will actually— I don't want to drive the price up at all. But that's if you do a 3-year term, just switch it to a 1-year term, get rid of all the extras. It's going to try to do it and pay. It'll be like $12 or $13, right? But then you have it. And it's yours. And then you can just leave it in your GoDaddy account and we'll, we'll set it up later. But anyway, so I'm going to pause here. I've been doing a lot of stuff for a while, but I want, I want a discussion, if there is any, around how to really get to this, this amazing plan that's now been built. And by the way, you can dig deeper on any of these things, right? Like, like, for example, like what, what's my TikTok plan? Like I was talking about, what's my— what should my Pinterest plan be? How do I deal with this? And then you can just start creating Google Docs and just copy pasting what Grok is saying in there, drilling down on each of these different items or ChatGPT drilling down on either of these items, any of these items.
So any questions around this part of the process? Go ahead, Jordan. Are you going to— will you be able to share this video tonight? Are you going to share all the videos at the end of the 3 days?
Because as soon as you watch that whole like 20 minutes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As soon as it's done, as soon as we're done tonight at 7, my computer will start processing the video and it will probably take a little bit and then I'll upload it into Premiere and I'll, you know, make it a little bit nicer or whatever, and then I'll upload it to YouTube as a private video for now and and I'll give you guys access to it, but it probably won't be available till tomorrow. My guess is just the upload is going to take a while because it's going to be 14 gigs or something crazy like that. I have Starlink here out in West Mountain, and it's, it's actually amazing for like live stuff and downloading, but uploading, it's like 40 megs per second. It's really slow, as opposed to like a gig, which I used to have up in Traverse Mountain when I lived there. But anyway, That whole section is awesome, right? But you see that I'm not doing a lot of black magic. I'm just talking to it and even asking questions. I'm not sure which one. It suggested something early on in this process like, well, maybe you should do this, this, or this. I was like, well, what do you think? Let, let the AI teach you. Let it figure it out. So don't stress too much about like, I don't know business. Well, ChatGPT understands how to start a business. Ask it questions. Ask things like, what could make this fail? Please consider these things in the plan. How can we create? How can we, how can we do our best to ensure we don't fail? In these ways that you've mentioned. Oh yeah, that's a great way to look at it. Let's think about that, right? So it's just a matter of thinking through the process, letting your brain— and I know that I love this— all of you guys tonight are not going to be able to sleep, and I'm just so excited about that because you're going to just be thinking like, oh my gosh, I need to do that. And I encourage you, as you're trying to fall asleep and you're not able to fall asleep, or you're taking a bath or a shower or whatever, and you think of an idea, get your phone and Open a note and write it down, right? Just write it down somewhere and then you'll remember it tomorrow morning or whatever. And then you're sitting down at your ChatGPT and you just copy and paste what you wrote down in your note and be like, hey, I was thinking about this last night. What do you think? Oh yeah, it's a really good idea. Great. Please implement this into the plan. Awesome. Done. It just knows, right? Just knows to update those things so fast. So, all right. You know what I'm going to do here? We're going to copy. I'm going to switch this over into— I'm just thinking for a second here where to put this. Yeah, I think I'm going to use— no, yeah, we'll use this. We'll use this. All right. I am going to go to home. Leave that for a second. And let's build this AI-powered dessert website called Project Jenny's Recipes. Start building. So let's make sure I copy the right thing. Yeah, I did. Okay, I'll analyze what you want to build.
This is—
hold on, phase 3. Hold on a second here. If I could ask while you're looking at that, Jon, basically, it's, it's kind of like consulting. If you ask quality questions, you're going to get quality answers.
If you don't ask good questions, you're going to be missing something, basically, right? Totally. You're— yeah, that's, that's exactly right. Please consider these things as well as the plan got cut off a bit. Here is the rest of that document. Okay, so I have— I didn't approve the plan and start, right? It presented me with a bunch of ideas here, right? And thank you for all to update the plan to incorporate these details, create a more comprehensive proposal for your Ginny's Recipes Project. Determine any next steps. All right, build the initial prototype, spoonacular API integration, premium AI-powered recipe recommendations and meal planning, user authentication system, community forum or recipe ratings, exclusive digital recipe books, affiliate marketing with baking tools and specialty ingredients, social media automation via Buffer API, SEO optimization for recipe content. We'll do those things later. We'll do those things later. Okay, please create a README.md file that contains the complete plan that I have shared also create a progress.md file that shows which features need to be built and a checkbox next to those that have been built. Please add this into the plan and then I can approve and start. So some of these little things that I'm doing right here is where you start to really learn how to talk to Replit to get good results, right? A lot of developers say, yeah, Replit sucks, or Lovable sucks, or, you know, these different, these different websites that can do this kind of thing. Again, I think Replit is the best, but, but they say, yeah, it just gets lost, right? But if you just, like Nate just said, right, good consulting, right, good inputs bring good outputs. It is incredibly intelligent and it can do that. It understands this. It's going to build the README in progress.md files. I want to use your authentication system. Do I want to use authentication system? What would you log in for? You'd log in to be able to use the AI system. Yes. Let's do that and let's do this and let's do the SEO optimization and let's add that in. Yeah, approve plan. So I kind of just chose the things I wanted it to do, what I wanted to think through. It's going to build a nice, beautiful thing, just like you saw in the beginning that we did with ours. Now, one of the cool things here, Jenny, and everybody, is you're going to be able to— you can, you can share or you can, you know, anybody that's ever developed before understands what a branch is, right? You know, you've got your core project and then you can share all of that code. A project is just a bunch of words, right? Just a bunch of text. And that text is powerful and it does things, but it really is still just a bunch of text. And so I can copy that and I can branch off of it and say, okay, I've got this thing right now. Well, look at our cool website, Jenny. It's awesome. Anyway, it's going to branch off. And you can start creating your own things. So I can share this with you, Jenny, and then you can take over from where I left off and I'll have all the code that I've helped it write. And then you just take over and you keep going with your own business, right? Select your ingredients. Generate AI recipe. Recipe. Submit. About. It's just barely starting it, but I love its initial, just like quick thought. I think it's cool. Can I click on these things? Honey, nope, they're not clickable yet. So yeah, it's always going to start with just like an idea, and then it's going to start with that chain of thought reasoning. It's going to say, okay, great, we need this button to work, and in order for this button to work, well, we're going to have to have a database over here, and we're going to have to have this, and we're going to have to have that. And, you know, anyway, let's see here. Is there a login? Sign up feature. Yeah, there is that. So yeah, it's pretty cool. All right, more questions while we sit here and just kind of think about this and keep discussing it. This is almost exactly where I wanted to get to tonight. I wanted everybody to be thinking through their ideas and then ready to talk to ChatGPT and Grok and whatever systems you have to do the research and think deeply. When I, when I'm doing ideas now, like I know right now with Jenny's recipes, I I just had to do one session of deep research on Groq. Sometimes I'll have to do multiple sessions and think and go back and forth between it, right? Hey, okay, research this thing that you talked about. How do we really drill down on this? So you can, you can drill down as much as you want. The reality is you can do that later too. You don't have to do all of that deep research to get the product going. But I think we're doing pretty good. I think we're doing pretty good for our first You know, we've been, we've been talking about like at the beginning of this 3.5 hours, you guys knew nothing, right? In general, right? I know that some of you knew some things, but you knew almost nothing about how to do this. And now I bet that all of you could take off and say, all right, I don't even need Jon's day 2 and day 3, although I've got a lot more secrets to share and lots of fun stuff to go through. But, and working through problems. That's so far we haven't really solved any hardcore problems, and sometimes you run into those things. But I think you guys could at this point say, I think I can figure this out. You have the tools to figure it out, and you're all— hopefully your minds are expanded a little bit.
What's up, Caleb?
Go ahead.
Um, do you think it's important the, uh, like, um, like the, uh the— I just lost the word, but kind of like the, the order that you go in, or do you think you can bounce around as much as you want, um, or do you think it's important to go from like business plan to then, uh, you know, have it do some deep research on that plan?
Do you think the order matters at all? So I'll tell you this, before I bought genai.pi.org and did my whole tour or 3-day, you know, sprint of, of coding with Replit. I had thought about this idea a lot, right? It had rolled around in my head a lot. I hadn't actually sat down with ChatGPT to do it, but I had talked to a business partner who's just brilliant. We talked about it. I had kind of talked about this idea a couple years ago and like, yeah, it'd be cool if we were like testing like proficiency. That'd be kind of neat, right? And you know, then I, I started talking about it. I was like, wow, man, this is really good. I like this. This, man, I should build that. And then I finally was like, I'm going to try to build it. And by the way, I'm going to try to sell it, you know, by tomorrow. And, you know, here we are. But the reality is, yeah, bounce around all you want, talk about as much as you want, figure out your logo. You don't have to get into Replit until you're completely ready to do it. But for me, the way that I've been successful as an entrepreneur is by just doing. I just kind of dive in, and then I run into a problem, and then I fix it. My problem— my next problem is, why is there no logo right here? Right? Like, my, my mind is just looking at that. It's a little problem, but it's an obvious glaring problem that makes this website not feel cool, right? And so I want it to feel cool every time I look at it. Oh, Chinese recipes! I'm super excited. I actually love the font of this and everything. Like, it nailed— I wouldn't change anything. I almost— I, I'm sure it's going to change. We need, instead of just like this pretty, like, color— it is a pretty color, but we need some desserts, right? We need some pictures and things like that. We'll get into that tomorrow. We'll do a little bit more, you know, image generation using AI. Um, you know, you can, you could— I mean, you could do it right now. You could say, uh, you know, please, uh, give me a good header image with desserts for Jenny's Recipes website, or the Jenny's Recipes website. It doesn't actually care about grammar, but I do. So I'm going to start just working through problems. Oh, we don't have an image yet. Great. We need to figure out a logo. We need to do this. I'm not super convinced on my business plan here. Like, is it really going to work? Look at your beautiful desserts, Jenny. That looks beautiful. Nice work. Anyway, you can make it look— you can make it look more realistic. But because this is an AI-powered website, maybe having an AI image of desserts is okay. Right? Make it more extreme with amazing AI-powered desserts.
What's up, Michael? Go ahead. Yeah, I'm just wondering, how often do you like scrap something from Replit and start all over again if you don't like it? Do you usually, if you hate like the whole thing, will you just slowly tweak thing by thing or you just kind of start from scratch again and just try different prompting?
What's your strategy? Yeah, I haven't run into a situation where I had to completely restart everything. Back off of the technology and focus on the food. Try again. I, I don't— yeah, I've never had to just rip the whole thing out. I've had to rip out specific sections, but typically I'll just say, hey, I really don't like the feel and design of the homepage. Can you kind of take a step back and, and, you know, redesign this and make it more retro, make it more modern, make it more, you know, traditional, make it more Renaissance, whatever the heck you want to tell it to do, right? But you can have it, you can have it redo something completely by just giving it that kind of a prompt without having to start over the way. Yeah. You know, or maybe you're like, you know what, maybe AI-powered desserts is kind of a dumb idea. Well, then I might start over. You know, if you like really change the business model. All right, well, this image is okay. I think it's cool. I think it's, it's all right. It's not as good as this one. I kind of like the first one the best. That's a fun image. Right? And then I can drag this image What is this cloth? It's like a cloth with a weird end of a fork here. It's like almost, almost like they tried to put a fork here, like the, the spears or whatever. They're here, but then they're like, I don't know, maybe I'm just looking at that weird.
It's pretty good. Uh, what's up, Caleb? Go ahead. So, so I, I know you've established that ideas are kind of, you know, a dime a dozen, right? Um, And I agree with you on that, but I also kind of start to feel like with all of these AI tools that also implementation will start to become a dime a dozen. Do you feel like there's any threat in that? Like if it can be built by Replit, you know, like everybody will do it. And so you don't really have any sort of moat, right? You will be the app for one week and then next week, you know, somebody else's app will take over because they built it with Replit and had, you know, copied you but added some other feature.
Very good thinking. And the answer is absolutely, that risk exists. But we'll start talking about it a little bit more tomorrow. We're going to talk about— actually, you know what, we're going to— maybe we'll finish out today answering that question. The way to win in business, right? Just think about all of the sharks on Shark Tank, the types of businesses that they have. Think about the billionaires that you know of. Now, Elon Musk doesn't count, right? He's, he's an alien. He creates ridiculous things by understanding the secrets of the universe, and that's great. Don't try to compete with him. But look at like Richard Branson. Richard Branson just, you know, decided to start Virgin Records. He was a nobody, he had nothing, and he signed the Rolling Stones. He just started talking to people, right? Anyone, anyone had the ability to create the poster that he created there that first said Virgin Records. And he went to like this show and he's like, I'm Virgin Records. Someone came up, was like, you're kind of new, I'd like to grow with you, let's do it. You know, like, there were— there was no moat there. No one had a moat. It comes down to execution. Now, in the world of AI, the execution might feel or seem like anyone can do it. If anyone can jump on and build something with Replit, the reality is 99.9% of people aren't, right? They still haven't figured out AI. And so because you're starting now, you're ahead of the vast, vast majority of people. And so stay there, keep learning, keep growing, keep adopting, keep adapting, right? Try the new things, learn. But the real thing is you need good strategy. And strategy can obviously be learned or discussed with AI. But there's a principle here that a lot of people aren't considering. They're going out to build things. You've started to see a little bit of the strategy that I use. I keep asking it automated, automated, automated, low touch, no touch. I want to build something that just grows itself. And as AI gets stronger, my solution gets stronger. On its own without me having to do anything or go build something new. Right. So let me give an example. I'm CEO of a company called Velocity Access. If you go to my LinkedIn, that's my main title. That's my main gig. I've raised millions of dollars for it and working on it. We're building a really stupid product at this point in, in the development history and technology history. The idea is brilliant and nobody does it, but it's a stupid product and I'm going to tell you why. And we're changing our strategy. I'll, I'll jump to the end there. We're changing our strategy because of how easy it is to build things now. Velocity Access is a competitor to Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, right? Ticketing companies, right? But it combines that ticketing software with venue management, right? So if you go to a jazz game, you're going to have parking, you're going to have concessions, you're going to have restaurants, you're going to have security, you're going to have employees, you're going to have— maybe there's suites, and you're going to have, you know, all these different things that are managed somehow. Sundance, you go up there and you can go skiing, you can rent things, you can go to a concert up there, you can, you can rent lodging, you can go swim in their pool, you can eat at their restaurants, you can shop in in their gift shops. You have all these different ways that you can engage with Sundance. And right now they have about 8 to 10 systems that they use. They have a different system for their venue where they hold concerts. They have a different system for their ski lift. They have a different system for their restaurant, you know, and then they bring all this data together and it's really, really difficult. In fact, the only place that all of the data comes together at Sundance is in Mailchimp, which is their email service, right? The only piece of data that comes together and says, oh yeah, hey, we're going to send emails to everybody that comes to our thing, and everyone's going to receive the same email, everyone gets the same message. I think that's ridiculous, right? So our system is, okay, we're going to build a system, one system that can do all of those things. It can handle the lodging, it can handle the restaurants, can handle the ski lifts, it can handle all that Right. And by doing that, you're going to better understand your customers. And then we can use AI to better segment your customers so that somebody who only has ever been there to eat food, maybe you could send them a message that says, hey, I know you've tried the food, but have you tried the lift? Right. You can go up and hike during the summer or whatever, you know. Have you, have you tried skiing? Hey, we'd like to offer you a free rental, you know, if you buy a ski lift today. Or a ski pass today, whatever. There's a lot of different things that can be done if you segment your customers and understand every little touchpoint that they have with the business. Good business idea, right? Right. You're all probably like, wow, that's genius, you're going to be rich, right? And I agree. I agree with me. I agree with you. It is a good idea. But how hard is it to build 10 systems, each of which— the lodging, the restaurant management, the gift shop management, the lift ticket— there are companies, entire companies, that have raised tens of millions or hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars to build systems that can handle a restaurant. And so then I'm going to go compete with them with my little 7-person team? And build something that's better? No way. I'm always going to be inferior because I'm going up against a budget that's 10 times my size. I'm doing what's called swimming, right? Surfing versus swimming. This is what we're going to finish off with today. I want you guys to just think about this in the context of your business. Okay, we're just going to stop sharing for a second here. Maybe I'll bounce back on in a minute and we'll look at, you know, Jenny's Desserts to see what Repliq came up with. AI is not the first tsunami to hit the world when it comes to technology. The internet was a tsunami. Social media was a tsunami. The Industrial Revolution was a tsunami. There's big moments throughout history where technology has such a profound impact on hitting, you know, on changing the world, right? On how business is done, that it creates new industries and destroys entire past industries. Some of them go kicking and screaming like Blockbuster, right? And, you know, there's a lot of failures also in the beginning of these tsunamis, right? Think about the dot-com era, how many, you know, the dot-com bust. At how many websites went to zero. Everyone thought if you just have.com at the end of it, you're gonna win. Okay, so how— let's, let's talk about water for a second. I'm a whitewater kayaker. I love to kayak Class 5. I go off huge waterfalls. Get on my Instagram and just poke around, you'll see some crazy stuff. I love that. All the things you see on Red Bull, those are all my buddies. I used to be a sponsored whitewater kayaker, and I don't have time anymore, and my shoulder hurts, so I can't. But I still love to go kayak, and I love to do that. I love water. Water is so powerful. So think about last time— everybody here been to the beach, swam in the ocean? So think about how much energy, measured in joules, right? Energy is measured in joules, J-O-U-L-E-S, right? How much energy does it take, or do you produce as a swimmer? I don't actually know. Let's ask ChatGPT. Now we're going to ask Grok. Grok's good for just quick questions like this. And you know what? I don't want to ruin any of my chats that I have open right now. Let me use my phone. Okay, so I'm going to jump on. We're going to ask X Grok how many joules— not houses, don't autocorrect me— how many joules are created by a swimmer in the ocean? See what it says. Casual swimmer might output somewhere around 1 point or 2 MJ per hour. So 2 million joules per hour. Pretty cool. All right. How much— now let's ask this question. We're not going to ask— well, we'll ask Grok in a second. But how many joules do you think a tsunami creates? More or less than the swimmer? Probably more. What factor more? 1,000 times? 1 million times? 1 billion times? I don't actually know. I've never actually asked Grok this. How many joules does a tsunami create? I have no idea how it's going to answer this. So it's transferring energy. Oh my gosh. Okay, I don't even know. I don't even know how to say this, but it's basically 3.1 times 10 to the 15th power. So, so 15 minus— we were creating 2 million joules per hour. Oh, but that's in a— yeah, okay. So it looks like it's probably somewhere around I don't know, 100 trillion times more powerful than a swimmer, than a single swimmer, which is no surprise, right? But the amount of energy that that tsunami is creating is absolutely going to kill any swimmer in its path. If you're swimming during a tsunami, you're done. You're not going to make it. Oddly enough, if you're surfing during a tsunami, surfers actually love tsunamis. Weirdly, they're safe. You can do it. As long as you have something to float on, you're going to be okay. But you can surf that tsunami all day long, and you can surf it all the way as far as it goes, right? But the point is, when the tsunami comes in, when the AI tsunami comes in, do you want to be surfing or do you want to be swimming? You want to be surfing. Okay? So what does that mean? If you are having to build something, you are swimming. Now, arguably, we are building something with Replit. Absolutely. There is a moment of creation and you get the— the comparison here doesn't go all the way, but it— but it does— but it does track. Let me give some examples. Let's talk about— let's talk about some existing companies today that surf or swim. My mom is a— she's just like you, Roseanne. She's not a techie at all. She's never run a business. She's been an amazing mom to my— to me and my 4 siblings, right? 5 kids. And that's been her primary life's purpose, right? That's been her life's purpose, right? And that's Awesome. I love her for that. Somehow she has 561,000 followers on Facebook, right? How the F did she do that? I don't know. It was so random, okay? She just— she likes photography and she likes going on vacation, so she goes to Africa. And you know, my, my parents— my dad's retired, and so they just kind of travel around and take pictures of things and videos of things. And so she takes those videos and she posts them to Facebook. And some of them started— she just started doing it consistently and it's like, I'm just going to post them on a post on a post. Oh hey, this one got 100,000 views. Oh, this one got 10,000 views. Oh, this one got 250 million views. Like something just went viral. And then Facebook just said, oh, she's still posting, people are still doing it. We're going to just start suggesting this content. And she just gets 5,000 new followers every day. It's crazy. She's gonna have a million followers. But by the way, 2 years ago she had 1,000 followers, and now she has 561,000. She's making $20,000 a month by just posting these dang videos. And I'm just like, I'm, I'm almost like, I'm jealous for sure is the right word, and just annoyed because I put a lot of photos, I post a lot on social media, and my content is good and her content is fine, but it's not. Anyway, it's just crazy. It's just crazy that she has 561,000 followers. And by the way, that was yesterday. While I talk, I'll pull it up and I'll try to— I'll try to see what she does here. But I want to ask you guys some questions. And I know you don't know my mom, so you don't know what she's actually done, but how many or how much money Do you think my mom has invested in Facebook, in Facebook's infrastructure? Yeah, Nate is correct. Zero. Absolutely zero. She has so many followers, doesn't even say how many followers she has. It just shows digital creator and says that I'm her son. But her latest video that she posted today has 29,000 views, and the one before that has 40,000 views, and the one before that has 60,000 views. Go follow her if you like, if you like, uh, you know, whatever, social media. Carolyn Cheney. Carolyn Cheney. Okay, so she, um, she invested zero in Facebook. How much money do you think she invested in all of the, you know, the internet lines that are going, you know, underneath the ocean and, you know, the satellites, that are pushing Starlink and everything to everybody? Nothing. Zero, zero, zero, zero. She is surfing. Social media influencers are perfect surfers. They spend nothing other than taking advantage of this beautiful distribution system that everybody's on and trying to do it, and they just throw content on there, right? What is Netflix? I want— now I want you guys to answer this question, right? You can turn on your microphones, whatever. What is Netflix as a company?
What do they do?
Video distribution.
Okay, good. It's not wrong. Digital movies and TV shows. Digital movies and TV shows. Absolutely. Yep.
Great. Michael, you're sitting there thinking Yeah, I mean, they're expanding into all sorts of things. They're doing like video games now. They're not a studio.
I mean, it's—
I think their vision's a lot bigger than even entertainment, really, I think.
But I don't know exactly what it is. Good. All of you are correct. Their business model actually is very simple. They have a video recommendation engine and a content studio. Those are their actual business models. Now, what are they surfing? Akamai, which is A-K-A-M-A-I, is a company that invented the first CDN, content delivery network, that made it possible to deliver huge files, deliver them to the edge of the internet so they could then be distributed quickly. And people, we could sit here and Without sitting and buffering all day long, we could actually watch a high-quality 4K video, right? They're surfing the internet, they're surfing, you know, all of the, all of the infrastructure. They don't have to spend any money building that, right? That's why internet companies get huge multiples and valuations, is because they're surfing on other people's efforts to make the internet more powerful and available to everybody. So this is where you want to start to understand whether or not it's surfing or swimming. If the internet gets stronger, does Netflix's business model get weaker or stronger? Stronger, right? If Facebook gets better at distributing content to people that are interested in animal videos, does Does my mom get richer or poorer? Richer, right? And she didn't have to invest anything, right? So as you're considering your business ideas, guys, you need to think— this is why my Velocity Access idea is stupid, because I'm focusing on building and competing with 10 companies that do all the different things that I want my software to do. That's crazy, right? It's me and my few million, my $3 million against $30 billion of all these competitors out there trying to out-innovate me, right? We're all building the next software to store that name. And hey, Jordan came in and he bought a Coke Zero. So now we know to suggest to him, hey, 100% of the time he buys Coke Zero. Oh, he came in, he bought a Sprite. Then he came in again, he bought a Coke Zero. Now we know that 66% of the time he buys Coke Zero. Great. We're building cool systems and we have neat information and we have a good sales pitch. But the reality is, and this goes back to what Caleb asked earlier, it looks like he had— he maybe had to go, right? Which is fine. Yeah, I don't see him on here anymore. He left and like came back in to kind of bounce back and forth. But we're at 7:00, so it's time to end. Can other people build this stuff? Yes. They're going to be able to. Can other people use Replit to rebuild Velocity Access and build an all-in-one system? In 2 years from now, they'll be able to just give prompt to Replit or whatever system has replaced it, and they will be able to just wipe me off the face of the planet with functionality. Now, where I can win though is if I change my business model to surf and not swim, to surf on things so that as AI gets stronger— let's go back to Jenny's recipes for a second here, right? Maybe I just continue making recipes for my family and my friends, and when people react well to one, that needs to go on the website, right? You just kind of make a mental note. Great, hey, I did that. You're just living life. You're not, you're not building or investing in infrastructure. You're just, you're just doing stuff. And then you take a picture of it and you text it to a number that we set up. We can set up one of those 5-digit shortcode numbers that cost you $3 a month to own, and you send— you text it to it. And then when it receives it, AI looks at it, figures out what it is, texts you back and says, what ingredients did you use? Use this, this, this, this, and this. Thanks. It then writes a blog post for you, posts it, names it, posts it to all of your social medias. Hey, we have a new, a new thing. Hey, maybe try this to remix it, right? Try using AI to create this with something else. Make a vegan version of this, whatever. And it's all automated. It's all doing it for you. So as AI gets stronger, your website grows faster and your following grows faster because better content gets pushed out faster. As opposed to saying, okay, every day I need to take 3 pictures and I need to come up with captions, I need to post it and need to schedule this, I need to do this. It is so, so exhausting to try to be— even to do what my mom is doing is exhausting, right? You have to post every day and you have to respond to comments and you have whatever, right? Whereas you could build automated systems. My mom could serve even better if she did that. So I want you guys to think through those systems. What are you building? Does the advancement of AI and other technologies related to your business help or hurt your business? Does it allow other people to enter your business more easily? Right. It's about the strategy. And if you think about building your business in a way that's surfing, where you can just sit back and say, hey, I get to just focus on the thing I'm good at, making desserts, right? Or for me, for Velocity Access, I need to think of ways to create user experiences that are touchless. Maybe instead of building all of those systems again, I build a system that sits on top of those other companies that are spending billions of dollars. And I just say, I'm going to build APIs, connections to all of the data, and I'm still going to present the resort with, hey, here is your segmented, beautiful— like, this is, you the 50 different types of customers that come and interact with you at Sundance. Oh, and by the way, on the customer side, hey, you can text the 5-digit code and say, hey, I need a reservation for tomorrow and some lift tickets. I need to rent something. Here are my sizes. And it responds back and says, great, I have this all done. The total will be $873. Can I charge your credit card? Yes. Done. So now I built an entire system that quickly allows this, you know,, the user to interact with all of the crazy systems that are built at Sundance, and it allows the Sundance, you know, people that are in charge to have one system that they go to for the source of all truth and all engagement, and it's all text-based. They just talk to it like I'm talking to Replit. They talk to the system, and Velocity Access behind the scenes does all these crazy black magic to make an amazing experience happen. That's what Velocity Access should build instead of trying to compete with Toast and Ticketmaster and all these different ones. No, let's just talk to them and pull— just the value-added middleware, right? Exactly. Yeah, it's a middleware or it's something sit on top, you know, it's, it's OTT in the, in, you know, in the, in the video world, um, where you have something like Netflix or Hulu that sits on top of, you know, of a, of a, of a system like, like an Apple TV that and pulls from things. So they're just building, again, Netflix and Hulu, they're all just middleware. They're not creating content. Oh, some of them are now. That's why I said they have a studio as well. But they sit there, they pull content, they provide recommendations. As Apple TV's hardware gets better, as TV hardware gets better, as all these things, they just have to build things in a way that can automatically be distributed. So anyway, guys, we are at 7 o'clock. I wanna let you go. I'm gonna be, I know my voice is going to be gone by Thursday for sure. We're already halfway there and we're only a third done. But I hope this was useful. Jenny, you have my number. Text me if you need me to send you some things or like any of those ideas. Oh, hey, you know what? Let's do really quick before we finish up just the last 2 minutes, not even 2 minutes today. Oh, it hasn't, it hasn't, hasn't built it yet. All right, well, here we are. We're at the OpenAI key stage. I'm going to leave Jenny's recipes here today. Tomorrow we're going to build this out, this prototype, and we're going to use OpenAI or ChatGPT to build the AI recommendation engine. We'll use the API keys and I'll show you how to do all that. We'll get Jenny's recipes up and working probably within the first hour tomorrow. We'll have a working thing where we can talk to AI and build recipes with AI. That'll be really fun. We'll do that tomorrow. We'll get to see it tomorrow.
Thanks guys, hope this was useful.
Thanks, John.
Thank you. Thank you, that was awesome.
See you guys.
So interesting. Thank you.
Yeah.
