Cohort 19 - Day 1 - 8/26/2025

Jon Cheney debugs a React app live with Replit's AI, showing how to use structured markdown files as "bumper lanes" to keep the AI aligned with your goals. He fixes navigation reloads, session persistence, and broken logout by asking the AI to plan fixes before executing them, then shares how rapid prototyping landed him a $100k revenue boost with a client.
Chapters
Okay. All right. So welcome to day one, guys. Really excited to have you guys here. Like I said, it's going to be— it's going to be— it's going to be fun and personal. We're going to— we're going to all be buds by the end here. Tyson, where are you calling in from?
Draper, Utah.
Draper. All right. We got a— we got a Utah group today. That's awesome. I love that. Yeah. Pablo's in Spring City. Just cool. More farmland down towards Ephraim. That's awesome. Parker's in Lehi. Tyson, you're in You're in Draper there. I went to high school at Alta.
Okay.
And so I'm from— well, from Sandy. I'm actually from Houston, but I actually didn't move to Sandy until I was in 11th grade. But last 2 years were there. And anyway, so, you know, I don't like Corner Canyon as much as you probably do.
We actually live in South Jordan. We're Bingham. We'll be Bingham.
You're Bingham. All right. I can deal with some Bingham people. I had a date. I dated a girl from Bingham. So good. All right. That Awesome. So yeah, well, guys, again, really excited to have you here. Tyson, let me ask you, Pablo and Parker and I, we had, we had just a second to kind of catch up. How did you hear about this course, Tyson?
My brother-in-law took the course, Brandon Oakey.
Nice.
And was just telling me about it and I thought, all right, you know, I feel like it's something that I should step up and take the time to do.
I love that. I love that. That's awesome. Well, what I'd love to do to start the course is just do some, some intros. I know we already know like where you're from and we already know your name, so we can skip those things. But tell us what you do and why you're taking the course. I would love to, love to understand that. And, you know, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, doesn't have to be super long unless you want to just go on a long soliloquy, then, you know, I guess we won't stop you. But yeah, tell us about it. We'll go Pablo, Parker, Tyson.
Okay, so I am a statistician. I'm working at a statistical consulting company out of Salt Lake. The commute's great.
Spring City to Salt Lake is a long drive.
So luckily, I'm working hybrid. I have— I went to BYU. I studied statistics and math. Then I went to pursue a graduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis. Originally, it was supposed to be a PhD.. But a statistician's kind of like an accountant, but for scientists. So I found out that they were kind of cooking the books. And so that PhD turned into a master's degree real quick. So I'm, I've been working now as a statistician full-time for a year at a small company, loving it. But I think AI is coming for our industry, stats specifically. Is math, and it can be done really well by AI, um, really fast. I don't think it makes sense to stay and build towards something that's going to go away in just a few years. The, the company itself doesn't quite seem to understand how they're at risk. I'm trying to help them automate things within the company, but it's taking a back burner to client work, um, and so I'd like to break off, do my own thing, and do something completely different. And I guess I'll go more into that later, but that's where I'm at. We have 5 kids, dog and 2 cats.
What age range are your kids?
Yeah, 8 and a half, 6 and a half, 4, 2, nearly 3, and recently 1.
Man, you are a busy man and your wife is even busier. That is crazy. And, and I have 4 kids their age. My youngest is 8 now and my oldest is almost 13. So they're all really close together in age. But, but I remember where you are. It's hard. It's so much better once you're out of that. You throw away the diaper bag. That's a good feeling. But yeah, we're not there yet. That's awesome, Bob. Well, yeah, I know you have 2 diaper bags. I love it. Okay, Parker. Yeah.
So I do sales. That's what I love. I love selling and, you know, I was selling solar. It was probably the best fit for me before, but as AI is getting bigger, I feel like a lot of people are going to transition into selling AI. And so I want to start a company around it. And, you know, especially, especially doing door-to-door, a lot of people, you know, kind of look for ways to transition into like as they start getting families, start getting married, they want to settle down., you know, maybe start doing phone sales. And so I heard about AI people. I saw some things online, people selling AI can make quite a bit of money doing that. And so I kind of tried starting making some agents and I just had no idea what I was doing. And so, um, saw this course and I love it.
It was perfect. No, that's, I, so cool. So cool, Parker. Uh, you are like, I, you are me, man, like 15, 20 years ago, whenever.
How old are you, Parker?
Uh, 23. 23. All right. I'm almost 40. So anyway, so I was kind of right, 15 to 20 years. But, but yeah, like I did door to door for 5 years and I'm a sales guy. Like, there we go. I'm right there with you. I'm also an entrepreneur and I can feel you're like, I got to do that, you know? And you've got— you've gone and made your money. By the way, question, do you feel like it's easier to sell solar or was easier to sell solar this summer or 2 summers ago?
Um, I think, well, this summer I was in Puerto Rico, which is a little bit more saturated market. Yeah, but probably, probably honestly 2 years ago it was a little bit easier.
Yeah, solar's going through kind of weird thing. I've got a big, I've got a big array in my backyard. Um, that's awesome, man. All right, cool.
Uh, Tyson? Yeah, so I'm in the insurance industry, uh, specifically on the healthcare side. I consult with employers on managing their healthcare spend and just kind of strategizing, strategizing and providing solutions to manage it differently. Most people have done it pretty status quo, pretty, you know, generic. And so we're in the business of building custom plans and finding ways to flatten that trajectory of their current healthcare spend, which is typically one of the fastest-growing expenses in most businesses right now. So, um, I wanted to kind of get into it for a couple of different reasons. One, um, in terms of this course specifically, uh, you know, like Pablo said, right, I mean, I think every industry is facing this, staring at every industry in the eye, right? It's like, all right, well, at what point are we replaced? At what point is, is this no longer needed? And how can we kind of be on the forefront of that with some ideas in our day-to-day and what I'm doing, but also kind of from a marketing and outreach standpoint, right? Parker was talking about agents and how can we maximize an ability to talk to more employers efficiently without having to hire 3, 4, 5 callers for you and being less efficient with their time. You know, when you can make 40 calls instead of, or, you know, they're telling me we're making 40 calls a day. It could be 400 calls a day because it's so much more efficient and, you know, the outreach can, can get better there. So, specifically kind of to what I'm doing today, that's what I'm interested in. I'm also just interested from a general perspective, right? Like how can this best be maximized in my life, in my kids' lives? Um, how can I help them understand what is going on right now and start? So I have kids that are, uh, 12, 10, and 4. Um, how can I help them make a leap to be prepared for the future themselves?
Very cool. I love it. I love where you're coming from, Tyson. It's something I'm thinking about as well. Is that your family behind you in that picture? It is, yeah. Yeah, that's awesome. Beautiful family. Well, awesome, guys. I'm— yeah, this is going to be a fun course. I really am excited about this one with you guys. You know, sometimes when there's not a lot of people for whatever reason, you know, I'll be like, you know, should I just try to push it back? You know, I know it's kind of not fair to you guys, which is why I actually have never pushed it back. But the thought's always there. But, but yeah, I had this other group that had like 6 people who were going to join and they just had to move it. And so it is what it is. But But, but yeah, these, these 3-person courses are going to be really fun. Well, yeah, you guys are in the right spot today. I like— I think I can help. I really love teaching this course. I didn't, I didn't actually set out to like, you know, be a course guru coach guy. Like, that was not what I kind of set out to do. It just kind of accidentally happened this year and, and it's taken off in a really, really interesting way. And I'm excited to share with you and Parker, I'm going to tell you everything I've done to build this AI business. And you can copy it. Like, there's about 8 billion people that need to learn this. And, and I am absolutely of like an abundance mindset, like, go and, you know, I'll help you get customers, whatever. We can, we can all work in the same industry together and go do, go do amazing things. But so many people, so many people, I mean, just like you're talking about, Pablo, right? Like, they just don't get it, right? They don't get it. At some point, it's going to hit them like a ton of bricks, and it's going to hit them way harder than the internet hit them. Right? The internet was a big wave that a lot of people kind of ignored and that hurt some people. And a lot of people, many companies are still trying to keep up, right? And so, but anyway, this is going to be substantially, substantially more significant in terms of the impact to really the entire world. And so we'll talk more about that in a little bit. So my background, just a little bit. I'm a BYU fan and I can't wait for Saturday. And anyway, so I'm excited about that. I actually— so the reason I'm wearing this today is because I, I have a, I don't know, sponsorship, you can call it, I guess, that I'm working on with BYU. So I was at my last company, was a sponsor of BYU football and basketball, whatever, and all athletics. We actually back in 2020, I want to say, I think it was the 2021 season. We did an NIL, like, NFT deal with the Cougars, which is pretty crazy, right? They wanted to get into the Web3 NFT game, and I was running a company, and we're like, yeah, let's try it. Let's go for it. So my company, we ended up spending $1 million building out this thing called Cougs Rise. I wish I could show you my— the back of my laptop, but I can't. I have like all these Cougs Rise stickers anyway. But anyway, it was all about like trying to— it was like NIL plus NFTs. So basically, you would, as a fan, you'd buy a clip of like, I don't know, somebody catching a touchdown pass or something, right? And so maybe it would cost you $40 or something, right? So you buy that, a certain percentage would go to the player. Certain percentage would go to the school, certain percentage would go to us. And, and then as you, if you bought enough and you got like the, you completed collections, then you could get like on-field passes. You could like fire the cannon at halftime, you know, cool stuff like that. Right. That was pretty fun. So, so anyway, built that out. That was pretty fun. So I founded a company back in 2016 and it's called Seek. I had done other things before, but this was the first kind of really big one that I did. I ended up raising $13 million for that one. And later, it rebranded to Okavu. We rebranded to Okavu during that whole Cougs rise, the NFT stuff we were doing. But ended up the highest valuation we raised at for that was $130 million. And then, we ended up selling for about $40 million, right? So, kind of a rise and fall. And we at least didn't go bankrupt, which is really awesome. We still had a successful exit. It was great. But that's just part of the entrepreneurship game, right? Sometimes, I had Snap offer us $70 million. We turned it down and kept growing. And then Mark Zuckerberg said, "Yeah, we're going to back off on the metaverse a little bit." And then that hurt us a little bit. We were in the augmented reality space and this whole kind of metaverse space. We were doing some big things in there but built a big company, built a real company. I hired over the 8 years I ran that, hired probably about 130 people. Over that time. The biggest our team was at, you know, at one time was probably about 52 or 53 people. But yeah, I know what it's like to have like a $600,000 monthly payroll and only have $800,000 in the bank left. And you're like, all right, how are we going to— how are we going to make it next month? You know? And then, you know, we go and we sell a million-dollar contract to Facebook and boom, you know, we're back in it. So really, really fun. I love entrepreneurship. It's crazy. It's only for crazy people. And so the fact that you're on this course just means you're my type of person. But at the same time, you know, I say that kind of half in jest. Entrepreneurship is, in my opinion, going to be one of the most important things that you can do for your family to survive AI. Straight up, right? Like, you're going to watch your companies go down and they're not going to adapt. And so all of a sudden, there's going to be tons of people saying, you know, what do I do? Where do I go? Right? And the people that are like, hey, I already know how to like create a product in a day and sell it tomorrow and, hey, I just made $10 grand in a weekend. Like, you guys can do that. And that's what I did with the, with GenAIPI, with what we're doing, what we're, what you guys purchased from. I kind of did it as it was like a challenge for myself, basically. Right. Like, and by the way, I'm meeting today. I have a, I have a one-on-one right after we finish here, about an hour after we're done. With Amjad Massad, who's the CEO of Replit, right? So we'll be, you know, he's the CEO of a $3 billion company and, you know, things go in really interesting directions. But basically, so February 27th of this year, it was a Thursday morning and I get up every day, I get up and I post something on LinkedIn. It's just part of my process. I don't use AI to do it. I just am like, hey, what's going on? Sometimes I'll see something that I like and I'll repost it. And with my commentary, sometimes I'll just, hey, I'll share some random, random whatever. Sometimes I post, I post a good amount of AI stuff, entrepreneurship stuff, faith stuff, family stuff, and I like to just kind of talk about whatever's on my mind. So that morning I was like, hey, you know what? I've been getting pretty good with AI. I think I could build a new piece of software really fast. And so I was like, I wonder if I could build a piece of software today and get my first customer tomorrow? Like that, that was my goal. Can I do it in one day or two days really? Right. Build all day Thursday, Friday, and then, you know, launch an ad on Friday, see if I can get somebody to buy it. And, and so I posted about it and tons of people were like following, following, following. I want to see what happens. Probably just they want to watch me crash and burn, you know, because that's what people enjoy. And I worked all day Thursday, worked to like 10 PM. Got up Friday and, and, um, and I was like, okay, let's get back at this. I worked till 3 AM Friday. Cause I was like, I gotta finish this. Right. By 3 AM I was like, okay, I don't have Stripe finished yet. I, I can't do this at 3 AM like this. I've never set up Stripe before. I'm not a developer.
Right.
Like, I don't know how to do this. Right. API is like, this was all new to me. Right. But I'm just like, okay, but I think I can do it. I know how to use AI. I know how to, I know how to use AI to teach me what I don't know. Right. And so I was like, but I can do this. Saturday got up, we had like an elders quorum activity or like a service project thing, and then we had another activity for, you know, for a birthday or something. Anyway, by about 4 PM I was able to sit down Saturday, and then I finished 3 AM Saturday night, Sunday morning, launched my Facebook ads, and I was like, okay, Sunday took it off, just kind of enjoyed, you know, sleeping. And then, um, Monday got up and I was like, hey, I wonder if I have any customers, right? And so, so I didn't get my goal of, you know, 2 days, whatever. But then, you know, I launched the ad Monday, get up, I had 130 people had clicked on my ad to, you know, come to GenAIPi and, you know, buy assessments and certification training, all this kind of stuff that's on there. And I had no purchases. I was like, that's kind of weird. I would expect out of 130 people, like, my ads were pretty good. Like, obviously people are clicking on them, 130 people did. But, you know, why, why do I have no purchases? And so I just, I just paused the ad. I was like, I'm just going to pause the ad for a minute and see what's going on. And I figured out that my, uh, my Stripe had a little misconfiguration. And so even if someone was able to purchase it, it wasn't going to work, right? And so I fixed it in like 10 minutes. It was a stupid little thing that I had changed when I changed one other thing. And I was like, you know what? I'm a sales guy. I'm Mike Barker. I know how to do this, right? And so I jumped on and on LinkedIn, I just started messaging a few people. Tuesday morning, got up and had a $15,000 contract. Boom. And so it took me 5 days to go from new business to first real customer, like not just a little like $30 purchase, but like this is an enterprise account I just got. And that was pretty cool. And then in the next month, I've sold about $100,000, right? In the next 30 days after that, sold about $100,000. And, you know, all of a sudden I was, I was making way more than I had been on my business. So I sold my business in 2023, started another one, raised $3 million for that. It's really easy to raise money after you've sold a business. It's like anyone will give you money. Super, super easy. I don't recommend raising money, by the way, at this point. You know, there's, there's, we can talk more about that if you guys want to go into fundraising. I'm really good at it and I've done it a lot, but, um, but I hate it. I hate it. And I love, I love with Jenny IPI, I've had, I had somebody come to me in April So this is like, it was like 6 weeks after I started GenAIPI. I've been talking about like, yeah, I made $100,000. We did this. Anyway, someone came to me and said, hey, I'll give you $1.4 million for 40% of GenAIPI. And it was going to be like $900,000 was going to go to the company, $500,000 straight into my bank account, which my wife would have loved. But I was like, you know what? I just, it's like, I don't want to give up my freedom, right? And when you raise money, if you're a good person like I try to be, right? I'm not saying I'm perfect by any means, but I try to be like an honorable, you know, honest, hardworking guy. And if someone gives me money, I want to give it back to them as more money. If they give me $500,000, I want to give them a million back or $10 million back, right? And so, and so because of that, When you raise capital, you're kind of stuck. You're kind of stuck pushing that mission forward that you promised that guy you were going to do or that gal you were going to do. And you got to keep going until it's done. And unfortunately, it takes a long time to turn a startup into an exit, even if you're just amazing at it. For the most part, there are exceptions, right? It's going to take you 5 to 10 years to really turn that around and give that back, right? And so, if you don't take on money, if you can just be cash flow positive on your own like I've been able to do with this one, if I want to close up shop today and go to Puerto Rico and surf, I can do that. I don't have to feel bad at all. I've got the money. I can do whatever I want. I can pull my kids out of school. We can go to Ireland, whatever. I don't know. I can, I can kind of do what I want. Or if I'm like, you know what, I want to do something else, I want to go start a pool company. Awesome. Go do it. Right. Because I don't have any investors now, I can— I am, I am free. Right. So anyway, that's kind of a little tangent that I don't normally talk about. But, but you guys are sharp and I bet you're all three more than capable of raising capital. I'm going to encourage you as we go through this course to say, all right, maybe I hold off on that. There is a time, there is a time where you really need to grow and you need $20 million and you can't just pull that out of nowhere, right? That there is a time. But in the beginning, the bootstrapping time and where the highest risk is, this is the time where you can say, okay, you know what? I just am going to make $10,000 by next week. How am I going to do that, right? What is my product? Who's my target market? And then pick up the phone and call or go knock on someone's door. Just get it done. Just that's, that's usually what most people do. So many people make these businesses and they're like, yeah, I'm in stealth mode and I've been in stealth mode for 18 months. I'm like, dude, you've, you've missed out on 18 months of sales opportunities, right? Build in public, talk about what you're doing. No one's going to steal your idea, man. They're not going to steal it. So, all right, guys, that's the end of my fundraising rant for now. We're going to dive in and do some— we're going to dive in, do some fun stuff. I want to share one other thing before that just came back to my mind. Um, you know, I started this thing. I've been doing, you know, consulting for a while, and I was helping companies with different things, and, and I finally made this AI thing kind of more official. And then about 6 weeks ago— I haven't been able to announce this on LinkedIn yet, it'll come out soon— but about 6 weeks ago, I had a guy named Dean Graciosi reach out to me. You guys ever heard of Dean? So he's Tony Robbins' partner in Mastermind.com. Like, Tony and Dean are like, they are, they are together, right? And so Dean is probably the most successful marketer of all time. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Like, you guys heard of Alex Hormozi? Yeah. You've seen his thing that he just did, his big book launch, his big stuff. You know, he just made $105 million, you know, over the last you know, during, during his launch of his book last weekend or a couple of weekends ago. And Dean walked him through the whole thing. He's like, this is what you're going to do step by step by step by step. Like, do all this stuff. Like, Alex is one of Dean's, you know, students, basically. So anyway, bottom line is Dean reached out to me. He's like, hey, Tony and I, Tony Robbins and I are going to do this, this AI thing. It's going to be called AI Advantage. And we're going to, we're going to take AI to the masses. And we love what you've done with GenAIPI. It looks like you were able to, you know, kind of build this up really fast and you clearly know what you're doing. Will you come and like be a co-founder with us of that thing?
Wow.
Congratulations. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. That's huge. And it's crazy. It's crazy, guys. Like 6 months ago, this was nothing. I just launched it on a whim because it's a LinkedIn like challenge I gave myself. And then it just takes off, man.
And they, in one of their recent events, like they're trying to, they were trying to create an AI version of Tony Robbins. Yes. That people could sign into as like a service. They'd have their own personal Tony Robbins agent. Right. I wonder how that's related to this.
Well, it's, I mean, Tony's been interested in it. He's kind of, you know, everybody's kind of doing that. You know, my post on LinkedIn this morning was about agents. It was about Alex Hormozi's agent that he just launched with that as well. I can help you guys build an agent that mirrors you, or you could mirror, you could build, you could rebuild Tony Robbins' agent or rebuild Alex Hormozi's agent in about 12 minutes. Right. It's super easy at this point. Tools where you just like plug and play and pick the voice and do all this stuff and boom, you've done it. And then you can use Replit to throw it onto a website. You guys are going to be like AI experts by the end of this. Okay, so bottom line is, guys, just go and do stuff, right? Like so many people are afraid. This course, I think the reason I'm talking about some of this, this course is not just an AI course. It's an entrepreneurship course as well. What we're going to do though is we're going to use AI to accelerate, right? Over the next, you know, 7.5 hours of time, right? We've got 3.5 hours more today, 4 tomorrow. We're going to, you know, we're going to do, you're going to use 15 different, or you're going to see me use a lot of different programs. You'll use some of them, whatever. But from sales to marketing to to the agents, to, you know, setting up automated sales and marketing systems, to content systems and the software itself and being able to build strategy and all that stuff. So let's go ahead and dive in here, guys. We're gonna start today. I'll share my screen. So sometimes I'll just be like, hey, just watch for a second. And then I'll say, all right, now it's your turn. So you guys will have a few minutes to do this in a minute, but we're gonna start off with a pretty fun activity. Question, Pablo, do you know how to code?
Yes, but I code in R, SAS, SQL, so it's mostly for data manipulation and data analysis.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Cool.
Python, but not a lot of front-end stuff. No. Yeah, cool. Parker, what about you? Not a lick. Nada. You're with me. I can't write a line of code. Tyson, same thing? Zero. All right. Well, we're going to start off today coding a game. We all get to make a cool game. It'll be really fun, can be super easy. And which is crazy, right? It's crazy that it is super easy. Okay, so I'm gonna use Groq for this. You can use SuperGroq, you can use ChatGPT. I mean, you can use kind of whatever you want. I'm gonna use Groq and I'm gonna show you just a couple things on how to do this. So we're gonna use a language this morning. So you just heard me say the phrase front end. Front end means a visual, like the stuff you see, like everything we see here on x.com, this is the front end. The backend is all the crazy code, you know, all the logic happening, calculations, things happening behind the scenes, checking authentication and databases, all that stuff. The place where statisticians hang out. Anyway, for this, we're going to use a front-end language called p5.js. There's going to be no databases or anything crazy like that. Now, p5.js, let's see, write me some p5.js code for a frogger clone. Show me where I can. Deploy this. Okay. All right. So we're just gonna start there.
And Jon, real quick while it's thinking, question. Go ahead. How should we be on our end to take advantage of this the right way? How should we be taking notes on this part where you're going through and actually putting in prompts and working in Groq or ChatGPT? So this is all recorded. So we'll get the recording later. Should we just be watching the screen right now?
Yeah, just watch the screen for the moment and, and then we'll, Yeah, and then, you know, there will be a few like prompts I'm going to drop into like the chat and stuff like that, and I can send you guys the chat as well when we do that. And I'm going to give you guys— I'll just skip ahead for 2 seconds here on this. Um, where is, where is this folder here? Drive, My Drive, Build Business. You guys are going to get this folder, okay, that has software tools, overviews, financial, all this different stuff, and, you know, advanced workflows. So you'll get a lot of this stuff. So don't feel like you're missing anything here. Okay, so all right, let's— okay, so it built me some code, right? Again, I don't know what this code means or what it does. I know what Frogger does, right? I'm going to click copy, this little copy button right here, and then I'm just going to scroll down here and it says go to here. And let's try to— okay, I don't, I don't want to donate to you right now. Thank you. All right, here we go. We're going to delete all this, paste, and we're going to click play. Okay, so what happened here is— I'm not surprised it happened and I wanted it to happen. It says that it failed. The console down here says, hey, we got a syntax error, unexpected token. Okay, so whenever this happens, whenever you're using code and something bad happens, this is how easy it is. You copy the error, you go back to here, and you just tell the AI. The AI knows already, oh, you're on editor.p5js.org, you're using this, you're doing that. Like, it knows what it already I wrote, it already understands the context of the conversation, right? So it's asking— anyway, so there we go. So now it's given me a correct, um, JavaScript code here to be able to copy. What it did up here is there were a couple extra things that it didn't need. So basically it needs to really start right here at this point. You don't need to know that though, that's the important thing, right? All you have to do is just copy this, and then we're going to go over to the p5.js editor We're going to paste it and we'll click play. Game over, that's cool. Maybe there's something I'm supposed to hit to start it over. Now it's not working yet. We're going to go like this. I'm just going to screenshot it, come back over here, we're going to drag it in here. Maybe. There we go. This is how it loaded. Okay, so one of the cool— there's a couple things you're learning here that I'm just kind of doing. First of all, AI can see, right? It can, it can, you know, I can just show it something like this and it's like, oh yeah, hey, something's, something's going on here. Looks like it's not loading properly. And hey, we had another error up there. But the AI at this point, especially some of these, you know, really, really good ones like Grok and ChatGPT-5 and things we're going to be using today, they are so, so intelligent at understanding what you mean or what you think you mean, right? And at the same time, you know, we're going to learn today how to be even more explicit and be a really good, you know, boss of our AI, right? So that we're really telling it what to do. So anyway, we're going to see if we can get this. We're going to see if we can get this, this thing to work. It's thinking really hard. I actually didn't mean to put it into expert mode. When it— when it's in expert mode, it probably thinks harder than it needs to. I'm actually going to switch it to fast here for the next for the next request.
If you just put it on auto, it'll make that decision on its own.
Yeah, it will. And that's what it started as and decided to think hard. And the reality is it just doesn't need to think hard. This is not a difficult task. Building Frogger is super easy. All right. Analyzing game bug. Come on. You know what? Quick answer. Let's go faster. It's All right, here we go. All right, so let's fix it. Yeah, see, now what it's doing is it's telling me all these like crazy ideas. All right, just give me the entire code. Give me the entire code again so I can copy paste it. All right, we're going to need to close a few things here. My typing is, is like lagging on me. Let's go, man. I have so many things that I need to keep open. Close tabs. We'll just try to close a few of these things. I don't need this open. That's good. That's an old thing there. I'm actually going to use that later in this class. I'll leave that open and we can close. We don't need LinkedIn open here. Okay. All right. All right. So here's the code again. So one of the things that you need to know is you can use this little copy button, but while it's writing, it's not just like an animation or something. It is actually like writing this code. And so you have to wait. You just kind of have to follow it down, wait till it's done. And when it's done, then we can push copy here. Give it a second. Okay, so guys, the way that LLMs work is they basically predict the next word, the next symbol, the next number, the next whatever. That's really all they do, which sounds crazy, right? When you're talking to AI, it feels alive, like it really does. And a lot of people are like, oh, is it sentient? Is it this? And it's not, right? It's just predicting what the next word is going to be all the way through, but it does it at a level where it feels and seems like it can actually reason. And it can now. It can now, because what it will do is it will predict, analyze, it will read, think about it, and then— but it does all of that in like fractions of milliseconds, right? And so it's just constantly doing this. All right, is this the right next thing? Yes, this is good. This is good. All right, should I put this word? Should I put this word? Does that make sense?
Right?
And so it's like putting things and inserting things at lightning speed. It's really, really amazing, which is why it takes so much power, right? All right. So we're going to try this one more time here. We're going to click play. All right. So it looks like I have a working thing now, but I can't change. I can't move.
Let's see here.
Is there something in here that tells me— let's try spacebar. I don't know. Sometimes it just like— I can click. No, I can't move. It looks like I should be able to like kind of go and move through it now. So I'm getting closer. Okay guys, now remember, p5.js is not like a high, you know, amazing, what do you call it, graphics engine, right? It's really more of something that's meant to be kind of like an Atari, you know, it's really old type style stuff, but you can do some cool stuff with it. So I haven't been able to fix it or get it all the way there. I can keep going on this, but I want you guys to go ahead and get started. All you need to get started here, guys, is you just want to say, use p5.js and show me where I can deploy this. I'm actually going to give you a little bit better prompt than that. I'll edit it in the chat here. We're going to deploy this, or let's see here. Write the code so that I can just copy paste it into editor.p5js.org.
Do we need to give it more context or like a role description or stuff like that?
Certainly. Well, you don't need to give it a role. You definitely need to give it a role here. Like you are an expert coder. No, you don't need to do that anymore. That's an old, like a year ago type thing. At this point, it understands, oh, you need to write code? I'm going to act as an expert coder. Now, I shared this prompt in the chat for AgroKong. Make whatever you want. Make an asteroid game, make a thing where dinosaurs are chasing you. Whatever you wanna make, be as creative as you want. But I want you to jump onto Grok or something and give it the prompt that I just gave you. Obviously editing, you can give it more details if you want. I would call my prompt just kind of an okay prompt because I didn't give it a ton of details. The reason I didn't give it a ton of details is because when I say Frogger clone, that actually is a ton of details, right? That's, yeah, it knows what Frogger is, it knows the game and all that stuff, right? Um, but anyway, so go ahead and jump in and, and build something. And as soon as you have something you can share, speak up and we'll have you share your screen. I want to see everybody's, everybody's game. I'm going to keep editing mine just a couple times, iterating on it, see if I can actually play Frogger. Um, And ask questions, guys. If you're like, what do I do here? Like, this is where you ask questions. This is very, very interactive here.
I'm trying to make Snake.
Yeah.
And, uh, I got something to go, but similar to the Frogger code, uh, it just runs really quickly and then, uh, goes to game over really fast. I'm not exactly sure what the solution is there.
So yeah, so I would— this is how I want you to think about it, Pablo. Imagine you just hired a developer for, for an hour, right? You just, you hired a guy and he's sitting there, you guys, he's got his computer, you're just standing behind him watching him, right? You'd be like, hey, could you slow it down a little bit? Maybe, maybe let me push a, push a button to start the game. Um, you know, whatever, like tell it how you think the experience could be better. Just you're the user, you're the one paying this developer to get to work. Talk to him just like that.
Right?
Okay.
Yeah.
Oh dang, it's rude. Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay, anybody have something working yet? Yeah, I was able to play Frogger finally.
I got a little game here.
Let's see what you got. Go ahead and share.
This is a dinosaur chasing a dog.
Okay. Nice. How do you play? Like, what do you do?
You just run. I'm using the keypad to go and try to run from it right to left or up to jump over them or anything. Yeah, I don't know, I'm just—
that looks hard. I mean, you could obviously say, hey, make it a little bit easier.
Yeah, a little fast, but, uh, it kind of produced something.
No, it's cool. I mean, it's, it's fun. Isn't that fun? Like, this is really fun, by the way, Tyson, to do with your kids. Your kids are old enough to be able to like, yeah, do this. Just be like, hey guys, go on to get onto AI and just build a game. Just tell it what you want it to do and it will do it. Um, I've had my 12-year-old take this entire course, right? Sit through, um, you know, 8-9 hours of, of learning, and he built some really cool stuff.
Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
Yeah, uh, very cool. Awesome. Well, thank you for sharing. Um, obviously you can keep, you know, keep working on it. Parker, Pablo, you guys have anything ready yet?
Not yet. But that game that you made looks really cool. Yeah, yeah, that was fun.
Good work. It looks better than my Frogger game.
Mine's loading up right now.
I'm trying to make a Rubik's Cube. Oh, that's cool.
We can get that going.
Tyson, can I see your prompt?
Can you send that in the chat? Yeah, uh, it was I'll send it to you real quick here. I'm making a little edit on mine, um, see what'll happen.
Man, this is so hard. This Frogger game is like—
it was very similar to what Jon had put in there. I just changed, uh, a dinosaur game chasing a dog.
Nice, man. I cannot get past one level here. Frogger. Man, it's hard. All right. All right, who's got something to share here?
I'm still loading up. As soon as I get it, we'll—
as soon as the code— Jon, do you— I mean, I know that there's advantages to probably each of the systems, right? Between Rocker, ChatGPT, and, um, I mean, I'm assuming kind of once we get into it, we'll maybe bouncing ideas off of each of them to some extent because they'll kind of give their own take on it and refinement. You have one that you like to start in?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So in general, ChatGPT is my project manager and kind of compiler of all things, right? So I'm going to pull from other systems, I'm going to bring them into ChatGPT. I like to use Grok for market research because one of the things that Grok can do that others can't is it can search X, it can search what everyone's tweeting about in the world, right? So if you're like, hey, I wonder what people are thinking about this, or what would they, you know, what do you think the market would think about this, where's the opportunity here and there, right? Uh, Grok is really good for for that, right? Being able to— being able to be on top of those things. So anyway, let's see here. Okay. Isn't that crazy that Tyson, like, you just give it two simple sentences and boom, you've got a game, right? Dinosaur came chasing a dog, writing the code. So it's so cool. And if you want to build something more complex, right, like we're using again p5.js, which is just kind of a fun language, you know, you can build much more complex things than this. But, but yeah, it's, it's just copy paste, right? You just talk to it, copy it, and just listen to the instructions. And if you do what it says, you can be building stuff. You can build a mobile app, you can build you know, full-on software for your business, for your ideas. You can build agents, you can build whatever the heck you want. Just let AI teach you how to do it. But, you know, for that matter, I think I could build a nuclear reactor in my backyard right now. I'm going to— I don't have any, you know, the material or most of the materials that I need for that, but I think it could walk me through it step by step how to do it right.
And she's saying the thing about that. Yeah.
Okay, how's it coming, Pablo?
I'm just trying to get the game to actually start. Currently it just goes straight to game over, or it says press space to start, use arrow keys to move the snake, right? But it's not actually starting.
Here's a question: when you, when you load it, um, are you using your mouse to click on it first? So I, I actually figured that out, that you have to actually click over— like, let me just share my screen really quick. So like if I click play, right? If I click stop and I click play and then I try to move here, it does nothing. So I actually have to move my mouse over here and like click here and then now I can move. Let me try that. Yeah. So it might just be that you have to click on it to kind of activate it and wake it up. Ooh.
Oh, you're right.
That's it. Yeah. It was a dumb little thing, but this is so difficult.
Okay, I got it. Thank you.
Snake is working over here. Very cool. All right, let's see it. I just got to see if I can— this is the farthest I've ever made it. Oh, but I made it up to the top, but I got score 100. All right, cool. So I made it once and I just have to keep going.
It's kind of nice anyway.
All right, very cool. I finally made it right when I started sharing the screen, so I looked awesome there. All right. All right, Pablo, go ahead and share.
All right, let's see.
Share.
All right. Debugging is like, oh, I had to like click on that part of the screen. Dumb little things like that. All right, let's see what you got.
Oh, shoot.
All right. You know, I think it would be, I think a cool business idea I don't know how much money it would make. I mean, it could if it just went viral. It certainly could. What if you just made like a, a p5.js minigame, like, I don't know, library like Steam, you know, but for like these. But, and then anybody, like kids, can make quick fast games using AI, and then they just save it, they just publish it, and then people can come and play Snake or Frog or whatever other fancy fun games people come up with, you know what I mean?
That's a great idea.
I think it would be a pretty easy business to start. The, you know, the hardest thing would just be getting people to know about it, right? But put it in front of the right, I don't know, YouTuber or somebody, and they could have a lot of fun with it.
So how did you get in touch with the, um, the guy from Replit? Was it just from posting on LinkedIn about your experience?
They got in touch with me. Yeah, they saw me posting a bunch. And they're like, hey, we want to— can we jump on like a user call? Like, you seem to know what you're doing in there and you're doing like crazy stuff. And anyway, so then they did all these interviews and now my face is on a bunch of their ads and I'm talking about my story and stuff like that.
Anyway, kind of fun. That's super cool. Congratulations. I'm excited to learn. Thank you for giving me the tip for clicking into the game.
I know. Another thing you could do to make it a little more fun on that, on that snake game is you could say, hey, allow me— if I go through one side, it comes out the other, right? Then you don't know, you know. Anyway, it's kind of a fun, fun thing. I think, I think my Nokia did that. I think I could go through the wall. Anyway, back in the day. Parker, how are you coming?
Yeah, I'm just having issues.
Share your screen. Let's, let's, let's debug it with you.
Yeah, I'm on my iPad right here. Let me see if I can join the Zoom on my Laptop.
Yeah, cool. No worries. This exercise is actually secretly to see if you can share your screen. There's so many people who it's like, oh, I have to like restart Zoom, you know, to add, add the permissions, or like, I don't know where the share button is. Anyway, I've had people have to like leave the meeting, come back, stuff like that. I'm not joking about that one. This actually is the purpose of this.
Well, That's really funny.
The first—
this is, this is really fun. I'm definitely going to share this with my family.
It's so, it's so fun to just like create cool stuff. Like, I was, I was sitting there talking to my, my cousin. She— or it's kind of— she's kind of my cousin anyway, but my cousin's best friend. And they like have been together like best friends since they were like 10, and now they're like my age, right? And anyway, so I was sitting there talking to my friend Jessica, and she She's like, you know, I want to build this game that's like, it's kind of like Flappy Bird, but it's like bees and flowers. And I was like, that's cool. I'm just kind of like sitting there. I've got my phone. I'm just like typing. I'm just like taking notes on my phone. And I just copy those notes and I drop them into Grok or ChatGPT or whatever it was. And then I opened it up and I was like, kind of like this. And I like had a working game. I just handed her my phone. I was like, yeah, just play it. And she's like, what the heck? How did you do that? It's crazy. I just had this game working. It was like cool party trick, right? To be able to have somebody's idea just working talking, you know, almost as fast as, as they can describe it.
Yeah, that's so cool. That— so this last week, uh, my brother got married and we had all my family in town.
Parker, you're going to want to mute me.
I see two Parkers. I think the feedback in the audio—
oh, there you go.
There we go. Um, and my brother-in-law, he's starting a business, um, and it's like a blue-collar business. It's preventative home maintenance. And he's like, dang, but I have all these apps that I need to integrate and it's really annoying that there isn't one app that does all of that. And I said, well, maybe I could learn how to make that for you. Yeah. Yeah. And so I have this great description of what he'd like. And one of the things that I want to do today is build out that app or learn how to build it out so that I could then sell that to similar companies or similar businesses.
I love it. I love it. It's good to have customers before you even get started. That is, yes, it's a fantastic way to do things.
Um, all right, okay. Um, I don't know how to share my screen.
Yeah, again, this is why we're here. So push— yeah, just at the bottom of the Zoom panel, there's like a little share button, like an arrow pointing up in a square, inside of a square. It's a green icon. Yeah, yeah, it's— should be a green icon at least.
Jon, what was that description of what you would do to update the Snake game? Have it pop through the walls?
How would you say that? I don't know, I'm just saying, hey, it'd be cool if I could, you know, if the snake could go through the walls and then it comes through the opposite wall, you know, whatever. Anyway, okay, so, okay, awesome. So let's see what you got here. Yes, go ahead and copy that. Okay, so you've copied that. So what's happening? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to make like a completely working Rubik's Cube?
Yeah, like a Rubik's Cube where I can just solve a Rubik's Cube on, because I have a Rubik's Cube app on my phone. Yeah. I'm on like planes, I get bored, I just solve that. Just try and code my own, but it's not.
That's cool. That's pretty hard. That's pretty hard. So let's see what's happening here. So what happens? Yeah. When you click on it, like, can you move it? Can you do anything to it?
Uh-uh. I'm like trying to drag it. I'm clicking nothing. I'm like clicking the keys as well.
Yeah. Yeah. So go ahead down here in the bottom left. You see the console there where those errors are? Yeah, try to like scroll up, down. Yeah, yeah, in there.
All right.
Okay, there we go. So grab some of those errors and say, hey, you know, I'm trying to drag it and then this, this error comes up. Okay, copy. I just copy— just copy this. Yeah, yeah, just copy that right there. Perfect. And then back into Groq.
Groq.
And then just paste the error and then press hold Shift+Enter, Shift+Return. And, and then just say, I'm, um, I— when I grab it to try to rotate it, this error comes up. Yeah, when I try to rotate it, this error comes up, or whatever, right? That's it. So, um, so yeah, guys, again, like I was telling Pablo earlier um, when you're, when you're trying to fix something, you're trying to build something, or you want to adjust it, right? Just pretend like there's a human sitting right here and you're just telling them, hey, you know, this is happening, and oh yeah, it'd be really cool if actually we did this instead. So anyway, it's, uh, this, this might fix it, it might not fix it. Sometimes you kind of fix something and then it's got to fix another thing, then fix another thing, and then boom, it works, right? Um, but a lot of times it will one-shot it, right? Meaning it will just one, one one time and it's ready to go. All right. Looks like it's still working on that. Red, orange, white, yellow, green, blue. That's pretty cool. I want to see if I want to see if it can do this. This is a pretty—
Yeah, I'm not like— I know nothing about technology, computers, nothing.
So I just— It's all good. That's all good. All right. All right. Go scroll down. Let's see if it's done now. Looked like it was getting close to finishing. I know it's still working. It's still going. Cool. All right, guys. Well, we're right on schedule. Usually the first hour we hang out in Groq, we do this fun game activity. The purpose of the activity, again, it is have to get the screens working, but really it's to say, okay, can we as non-coders, non-developers, most of us, be able to just describe something and get something actually working? I don't know if it's done writing.
I think it's still—
Is it? Is it still going? I can't tell. It's like— but that— I mean, that's an open bracket right there at the bottom. So you can't have— it's probably still thinking. Yeah, maybe just let it think for a second. Let it finish itself. It might have just stopped on the animation or whatever it was doing there. But then sometimes it will like finish and then it will all appear at once. So we'll just wait a second. But yeah, guys, being able to just talk to it and build something quickly is, is really fun. It's really fun for me, right? Like the first time I wrote code, right, using a, using a, an AI, I felt pretty cool. Like, wow, this is like a whole new world that's open.
I'm actually super stoked, Jon, as someone who has only done like really programming for math. Yeah, this is so, so fun. I'm still playing Snake right now.
It's fun. Snake is, is fun. Like, it's an enjoyable game. I was even enjoying sitting there watching you, man. It's okay. Um, try this, try this, Barker. Go ahead and just refresh your screen. This one? Yeah, yeah, exactly right there. So refreshing won't actually delete it, it will just, you know, refresh the display. And maybe just got stuck there. Yeah, it's weird. Um, type, type where it says ask anything. Say, are you, are you gonna finish? I'm not kidding.
Just say that.
This is something, another benefit of this is that this is a great post on LinkedIn, for example, for those of us that wanna start posting on LinkedIn. Yeah. Uh, we can share like, hey, I took this really awesome, taking this really awesome course. In the first hour, we learned how to make this really fun game.
How cool. Yeah. And click here to play it. Yeah. Oh, you're right. You can even drop that code. I'm going to show you in Replit in a minute here how you can launch that super fast. I could build a whole snake game in Replit and deploy it in 5 minutes. Ready to share.
Okay.
So it's thinking again. It looks like it had a little glitch in the last one. For whatever reason. Unfortunately, I can't control what Elon does.
Neither can anyone.
Not yet. Yeah. He's a crazy guy, man. I like— there's a lot of things I don't agree with that he does, but he's just a fascinating individual to, to learn about. Listen to his big long biography.
It's really good.
All right, guys, we're 30 seconds away from a working Rubik's Cube and then we'll move on to the next thing. Maybe, man, I don't feel like what you're— what you're asking it to do, like it's hard a little bit, but it feels like it shouldn't be that hard to do. But I guess you have to be able to like push on each of the different squares and change things and it's— yeah. It's pretty complex actually, you know, from a perspective. Um, so that's cool. I'm glad that you picked something hard. All right, it's done. All right, let's try it. So go ahead and click the copy button and see what you get. Yeah, just select all.
And this—
the easiest way to do is like— are you on a Mac or PC? Yeah, yeah, Mac. Yeah, so just do Command+A. Oh yeah, Command+A, delete, and then Command+V.
Evaluating this error button.
10, 10, 8, 30, front, 0, 1, F. Yeah. So obviously you're going to have to keep working on it. You can keep working if you want. We're going to pause for now. Like, I believe that, and I believe you could get through it if you just keep giving it some of these errors and eventually it will work. So, but that's cool. That's cool. We're good, Parker. You've been able to see these other examples and how that's worked. I want you to actually get it working because I want you to share that with me. I want to see it actually working. That'll be— that's pretty cool. And I actually did it on my own. Okay, so we are going to— we're going to dive in now to something else here, and I'm going to push Share. All right, so, um, by the way, oh yeah, I forgot to say why I'm actually wearing this BYU shirt. It's because I'm recording some BYU, some stuff. So I, I worked with BYU. I said, okay, hey, I wanna, you know, GenAIPI is new and whatever, and I want to sponsor you guys, and I want to get— I want, you know, football tickets, basketball tickets, I want all that stuff, right? Um, and, and the sponsorship tickets are awesome. And so I was like, what if I come in and do some training for for all the student athletes, right? And the athletic staff. And they're like, absolutely, let's do that. So I'm like building a dashboard for them, you know. Anyway, so that's kind of fun. Okay guys, so this is Replit. Um, Replit, we're gonna spend some time today for now. Just watch for a minute, just watch for, you know, on this. And then we're gonna actually, we're gonna go and, and jump into ChatGPT and start diving into our different plans. So, um, Replit allows you, just says describe an app or site. Now there's a lot of different sites like Replit. There's, you'll You'll hear things like lovable.dev. You know, hey, ask it to create something. Or Kiro is a new one. Kiro AI. What is it called? Kiro.dev. Yeah. So prototype to production. Ask a question, describe a task, whatever. And so some of these are more complex than others. Replit. The reason I like Replit is because it's, it's still, it's very easy to understand even as a non-developer. But still very, very powerful once you start to get a little more comfortable and you want to like dive deeper. Um, it's so, so it's kind of a good mix of like a beginner can do it, but then an expert can get in and do like crazy stuff. And I'm not an expert developer by any means, not at all, but I do have the benefit of I was a tech CEO for almost a decade, right? And so I was around developers, smart people. I was hiring CTOs, and I'm sitting in whiteboard architect meetings where they're like, okay, we're going to do this and we're going to connect over to this database and we're going to do this and have this, whatever. I just got comfortable around the language of developing. I think that's made me a little bit more powerful. We do have it during this course, we will go over a little bit of that coding boot camp just on a few things. Should be pretty easy for Pablo, but for Parker and Tyson, you'll probably appreciate just hearing a few things and understanding how a few things work. But what we're going to do here is, so every time I, I do this course, I build something new. And so I'm trying to think right now, like, I like to come up with a completely new idea and try to make it, try to make it come to life. So I've got a lot of, I've got a lot of hobbies. Let's see if I could think of something, some business idea that I haven't done yet. You know, one thing I've wanted to do that's pretty hard, um, I've wanted to create this app called like, I don't know, maybe it's called Life or something, but basically you, you can level up your life in like everything you do. So you know how you like, you have in a video game, you have like, okay, I have, I don't know, level 57 dexterity and I have this on strength and I have this on whatever, you just kind of that type of a thing. Or like, I don't know, back to the World of Warcraft days that I played, you know, 20 years ago, um, you'd have like leatherworking or fishing. There's different skills and you could like have this stuff. So what if I created something but it's for life? So like every time you read a new book or listen to a new book on Audible or something, you record it and, you know, you get XP in reading and, you know, you like level up your life in reading or like playing the piano or learning to kayak or learning to, you know, whatever, whatever it is that you do and you can become an expert level, whatever. And anyway, so I'm going to try to, I'm going to try to build that. So I need to obviously get the description a little bit better, but okay.
Um, build like a real life RPG, turning real life into an RPG.
Yeah. Yeah. Basically where you, where you keep track of all the different skills you have and then, and then maybe when you like hit certain levels, it unlocks things. I don't know. I need to figure it out. I need to flesh it out. But anyway, build me, let's say build me a website.
You could build it in like the 4 categories. Like the spiritual, social, intellectual, and physical.
Yeah.
And then like you could level up in each of those 4 areas.
All right, we're going to take that. Okay, build me a web app that turns my life into a real-life RPG. I want to be able to track my skill progress, skills progress, and earn XP for everything— whoops— everything I do. For example, when I listen to a new book on Audible, actually, when I finish a new book on Audible, I'll get XP. When I listen for 30 minutes, I'll get XP.
When I work out, when I track my distance.
Yeah, when I work out or go on a run, I'll get XP towards strength, etc. Um, also there should be a decaying effect if I don't do something for a while. Um, tell me those 4 things again. Spirit—
yeah, that kind of goes, uh, to, uh, our trick program that the the physical, spiritual, intellectual, and social.
Yes.
Maybe like posting on LinkedIn, that could go towards social. Intellectual could be time logged towards growing or studying in a certain category. Physical obviously could be working out or eating if you have certain eating goals, like I didn't buy whatever garbage, I didn't eat that, I was eating healthy. And then spiritual could be just time meditating. Or in study, whatever it is.
All right. So that's a pretty good, that's a pretty good start, right? Better than most of the time when I, when I do this first, it is kind of a fun idea and it's going to be a little bit complex, but, but it's really just a bunch of numbers, right? It's just kind of a table and database and a bunch of adding and subtracting. The decaying part adds a little bit. And then, but the thing that's going to be really difficult here really to actually make this happen is I'm going to have to have a ton of APIs., right? Because I'm gonna have to like— when Audible happens, I don't want to have to come and like record my book. I want it to just know, right? Oh, you finished the book? Hey, congratulations, you just got some XP, you know. Anyway, so start building. All right, so that— I've just, I've just given an idea. We kind of, you know, brainstorm together on this. That's kind of fun. Um, we're calling it Life RPG. All right, okay, we'll see, we'll see what happens here. And I'm not trying to create like The Sims, right? I don't want like there to be characters walking walking around. This is just like a life dashboard that helps me like hit my goals and stuff. Okay, so all right, we don't need— I don't need this. This is like showing my phone. This is the new— I've upgraded to the new like beta on the new OS, and it, it shows like my, um, things that are on my phone. Like that, that, that little bar, the Replit bar, anyway, showed up on my phone, and then it showed it here too. I don't need to see that. I'm on my thing anyway. So we're going to approve the plan. We're going to get started. Okay, so So what we were doing in Groq was like, you know, fun and games, right? Literally and figuratively. What we're doing in here, we're getting real now. Like, this is a real tool that can build real things. All of GenAI Pi was built in Replit, right? The entire thing was built in here. Um, you can build fully functioning businesses, you know, that are making real money, right? I've made a crazy amount of— I've built a $10 million business in 6 months using this.
Okay. Using this.
Congratulations. That's awesome.
Okay.
So, um, so right now what it's gonna do, the first thing it's gonna do, it's kind of, I don't know why it's like jittery like that. It's kind of weird. Um, I've never seen it do that. Is it doing that for you guys too?
Like shaking?
Yeah, but it looks awesome.
I love the logo already.
Yeah.
Little dragon. So rad. That's kind of fun. Uh, but yeah. Welcome back, Hero. Ready to level up your life today. I don't know if I want it to be Hero, if I want it to be that, like, I know it's going for kind of a gamify thing. We're gonna figure that out later. We're gonna figure that stuff out later. Like, my mindfulness is decaying. I haven't been— I haven't been praying enough, I guess. Um, meditation, deep conversations, act of kindness. You know what, guys, my social is probably the place that I just don't do well at most in life. Physical, I like to get out and do stuff, so I'm, I'm okay there. I can do better. I've gotten 2 surgeries on this arm this, this year. I had a bicep surgery and then a hand surgery, and like Well, I am, I am really weak right now compared. I'm a gymnast, right? I was a gymnast all grown up and whitewater kayaker. I used to be a sponsored kayaker. Like, I like to get out and do stuff and I am— that's so cool. I am out of shape. Spiritual, that's cool. Intellectual. It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun.
What is this connecting to right now? Like, where is it getting these data?
Is this just invented? All fake. Yeah. So what it's doing right now is it's creating— again, I don't know why it's why it's like shaking. Okay, it stopped shaking, so that's good. I've never seen it do that before. It's kind of weird. But usually what it's going to do, guys, it's going to start with what's called a visual preview. So none of this stuff works if I click Log Activity or anything. What it's doing is like, okay, here's kind of an idea. Now it's going to go back and it's going to figure out how to start bringing some of these things to life. But like, yeah, audible, you know, I, I don't even know if I can connect to that. Let's, let's, you know, skip ahead for just half a second here. Um, Audible API, external Audible, there's no— currently no publicly available. There's a Node client. Yeah, see, one of the cool things is sometimes there are some APIs that allow you to, um, download a couple things here. Let's ask it this. It's amazing how Google can do this now. Is there an Audible API where I can get a notification of a user finishing reading a book, I guess listening to a book, but whatever, it'll get it. Yeah. No thing there. Features like listening log. Yeah. So what that means, right? It doesn't mean I have to give up, right? What it means is if you want to progress your XP in Audible, it's just going to have to be self-reporting, right? So that is what it is. You just have to click a button to say, hey, log, you know, log reading, log meditation, log workout, right? So I obviously haven't— some of the stuff it's building here, right? It's going to say, hey, it's going to build these subskills, activity logging, automated XP. It doesn't have anything here about APIs. So it's not even considering the fact that I want it to be more automated right now. What it's doing over here on the left, guys, is it comes up with kind of this initial prototype. I can obviously adjust the prototype. I could message the agent and have it do that. But what it's doing is it's creating now, you know, a ton of code. It's writing hundreds of lines of code, the schema, the storage. Like, here's the structure of how all this stuff is going to work. Look at that. It's already done, you know, hundreds of lines of code and created this, you know, this semi, you know, this preview basically, right? It's like kind of working. It's, it's building out all the different pieces, components, UI, you know, badges and carousels and charts and all these different systems.
You have to store that on your local machine, which is crazy.
Yeah. So it's amazing. It's amazing that you can— that it can put all this stuff together, pull this stuff together in, in, you know, minutes, right? It takes a long time even just to set up this kind of stuff when you're building your own, just before you even start building a website or an app. Just the setup of getting all these things pulled together can take a couple hours unless you use it, you know, unless you're using a template or something like that. Okay. So what it's doing here, guys, I want to talk about this for a second. It's doing something called chain of thought reasoning. Okay. And this is kind of the cutting edge of what AI is capable of doing right now is this chain of thought reasoning. So we're going to pick on Tyson here for a second. Tyson, I want you to tell us, tell the class, how do you get ready in the morning? What's your routine? You wake up and then what do you— how do you get— how do you get ready for the day?
What's my just normal daily routine?
Yeah, just say your normal morning routine.
Yeah. All right.
Well, it's evolving. That's all right.
That's okay. I wake up, go to the bathroom and brush my teeth, put on some clothes to go to the gym, and then I will say a morning prayer. Try to read scriptures for about 10 minutes, and then go to the gym for about 45 minutes to an hour. Um, come home, get in the shower, help get kids ready for school depending on the day, get them to school, or just head into work.
That's kind of a— so what time do you get up?
You up at like 5?
About 5:15. Yeah, yeah, that's good. That's awesome. I was going to say, if you're going to the gym, doing all that before you get the kids to school, I, I barely can get up in time for the kids at 6. I'm, I'm tired. But anyway. Okay, perfect. Thank you, Tyson. So now I want you to zoom in a little bit. I want you to pretend like I have never done it before and you got to teach me step by step, like as detailed as you can get.
Tell, tell us how you brush your teeth. All right. So first step is finding it in the dark.. And so, I got to turn my light on in the, in the bathroom. I like to set a toothbrush in a bathroom away from mine where I don't wake my wife up in the morning. And so, I don't have to hear her grumpy at 5:30 at me. And so, open the cabinet, I'm getting that toothbrush and setting it nicely on the counter. I'd like to keep it away from germs of touching the counter. So then I'm gonna take the toothpaste and twist the top off of the toothpaste. I do like to start from the bottom because it says for best results, squeeze from the bottom up. Crazy when people squeeze the middle of the tube and I'm like, what is going on here? And so, you know, I put a little bit about a pinky nail of toothpaste or so on the toothbrush. Put a little bit of, put some water on it, and then you want me to go into brushing the teeth also, or?
That's right. We gotta know the whole thing. Okay.
Start typically on the bottom left, and I like to kind of brush forward and back for probably 15 seconds on the top, and then I'll go to the side. I'll work my way around to the bottom right, top right, top left, and then I'll get the front and the bottoms. Top and bottom in the front there after that brushing for about 2 minutes to 2 minutes and 30 seconds at a time.
Very cool. And then obviously, you know, you'll spit and close. You know, we get it, right? Yeah. Thank you for doing that. And so, so here's, here's why I asked you to do that. Our brains are really smart, right? We've got quantum computers inside our heads and, you know, they're way smarter than any AI that's out there. But we still do this chain of thought reasoning. We, we say, okay, I have this task. I asked you at first, what's this task? You know, get ready, right? Morning routine. And that morning routine is broken up into some subtasks, right? Gotta go to the bathroom, you're gonna shower, you're gonna work out, you're gonna say your prayers, you're gonna brush your teeth, right? And then each of those subtasks has multiple steps, right? And even some of those subtasks have multiple steps, right? Like for example, working out, that's, that's a huge, you know, set of tasks with subtasks, with subtasks, right? And so that's called chain of thought reasoning, right? We're taking a big, you know, high level, you know, like, like here, right here was a— here was the major task. Then it broke it down into wherever those other tasks were. It showed— where is it? Comprehensive plan. Where's the plan? It showed it earlier. Here, here we go. Right now, these are the— yeah, where's the initial one? I guess it completed them, so I can't see them anymore. But it created its own plan and then it went and it had to create a bunch of different things. And now here we are. Right? While you're sitting there telling us how to get ready in the morning, we now have a working, you know, first version of this app. Now, is it perfect? No. Is it good? Yeah. Like, this is awesome for like a single prompt and sitting back and letting it work. Like, to have another developer, you know, work on this or pay a group in Ukraine to make it happen, you're going to be spending— to get to this point, right? Like, log workout. I don't know if I can do that yet. It doesn't work yet. Let's see if I can click log activity, if anything works. Hey, Activity name, right? Kayaking, right? Activity type, workout. Related skill, whatever. Strength training, I don't know. Duration, 25 minutes. Log activity. Hey, you gained 62 XP. Oh yeah, sick, right? Like amazing. That's crazy that it's able to take, you know, this idea and just bring it to life. Now there's a ton of things that we need to do and, you know, Does this actually work? Is it, you know, my guess is that a lot of this is, is kind of at this point, uh, what, what's the word for it? It's like it's dummy data. It's— there's no database. Like, we don't have a database yet. And so if I were to refresh this, like, it's not going to store. There's no what's called data persistence, right? Data persistence means I can close the app, come back, and all my data is still there. If I were to close the app and come back, none of my data would be there because there's no database. Base actually storing it. It's doing it all on the front end and making it look awesome, and that's cool. It will learn how to, how to go there. But, but like this kind of animation here, like this is really clean and fun and it just feels good. I'm, I'm happy with where this is with just, you know, a, a quick, you know, whatever. Now some of these buttons don't work, so we'd have to talk to it. I can also view it, you know, as a mobile, mobile device. Let's see what this looks like here, right? Maybe I want to start my timer. That's cool. I don't even know if that works yet. That's but it looks like it doesn't yet. Looks like the only thing that works is the log activity, but that's fine. That's fine. I've got my total XP. I'm a level 13 human. I don't know. There's also a lot of things, a lot of questions that weren't answered as I was starting this, right? And so part of being a good, being good with AI, a good prompter, a good partner of AI is really being a good boss, right? Like, let's say, let's say, Parker, I hired you, right? And I just was like, okay, it's your first day. You know nothing about the company. And I just say, go make a sale, right? You'd be like, well, who's the target market, right? Like, am I supposed to call business owners? Am I, you know, what am I supposed to do here, right? Like, I'm not being a good boss, right? Obviously you need to know, okay, hey, you're selling AI courses, you're selling this, you're doing AI training, certification, whatever it is. And here's the best way to do that. And, you know, here's some resources, read this page. And, you know, this is kind of an example script. Let's go through it really quick. You know, then you'd be like, I got this, man. Like, and you're picking up the phone and you're going, you're going to close some deals, right? But, but you can be a bad boss or you can be a good boss, right? And with AI, you got to be a good boss. You got to give it lots of instructions. Otherwise, what it's going to do in the same way that a human would, it's going to try to fill in the gaps with its own answers. Right? If I just say, hey, Parker, go make me a presentation now, right? Go make me a presentation on, you know, for some investors, you'd come back and you'd be like, okay, well, I made a presentation and I'd be like, well, you didn't include the TAM and you didn't include our USP and you include this. And well, you didn't tell me to, boss, you know? And so, and so you have to, you have to, instead of letting the AI fill in the gaps, You should fill in the gaps. So a better prompt for this idea would be more like 5 pages long. Okay. And, you know, writing a 5-page prompt is hard. It's a lot of work unless you use AI to do it. So we're going to do that now. Okay. So the next thing we're going to do, guys, we're going to jump into ChatGPT. Okay. This is going to be fun. ChatGPT is awesome. I'm actually probably going to use today— I think I'm going to use— I've been having problems with the, with the desktop app. I'm just going to use— I'm just gonna use this. Um, okay, so let's talk about ChatGPT for a minute, guys. How many here have not used ChatGPT? Okay, awesome. I, I assume most of you guys have. Most people have opened ChatGPT. A lot of people use ChatGPT as like a Google replacement, and you have a conversation about it, whatever. But, but I use ChatGPT, guys, as like a full-on project manager. I have so many different conversations and projects and things happening here, and and I've trained it really well. And so I want to talk just about a couple features before we really dive in. And then yes, I'll be ready to dive in. I'm sure that's why I said that subliminally. I had that in my head. So let's talk about context for a minute. Context— there's kind of two primary elements related to context we're going to talk about, two ways that we'll talk about it today. Number one, context means, at least in one of the use cases here, just like it does in any conversation, right? Like, like in my example of saying, hey, Parker, go, go sell or go build a presentation. If he has no context and he doesn't understand, you know, what else is going on around that, that request, then, you know, he doesn't really know what to do, right? He needs more information. Right. And so conversations, you know, the kind of memory that ChatGPT has, there's several different levels of it inside of ChatGPT. GPT, right? You've got, you know, you know, a conver— a chat-level context or memory where it— right here I was asking it about helping me set up a DKIM for something and, you know, trying to figure out something with Apollo, which is just a sales tool, whatever. And if I were to say, okay, okay, what's the next step? Right. I don't have to like bring it back up to speed. It knows exactly what I was talking about. It's just going to pick up where it left off, right? So you can come back to a conversation later at any time, keep asking it more things about that specific topic. Awesome. I do this often, right, where I'm just like, okay, I was working on something. I know I had a chat on it. What was it? Okay. Yeah, there it is. Okay. So that's one level. A second level is at the account level. Okay. So if you go into your settings and you go to personalization, there's a thing in here called memory. Okay. And so the memory allows you, yeah, let ChatGPT save and use memories when responding. Yeah, absolutely. We want it to do that. Can it also reference previous conversations when responding? Yes. Now it can't, there's also something in, in with AI called a context limit, right? It can't, you know, review all of everything, you know, that you've ever said. It can review high levels of like little snippets of what you said. And then it also has the inside of its memory. It understands and remembers some of the things that you've been working on, right? Or things about you specifically. So if you open this up, you know, I could scroll down a little bit. This is some of the random projects and things I could probably go and clean it up. But it knows I'm a father of 4 children and I live in West Mountain on a 5-acre farm and I'm fluent in Spanish and Chinese. I love to kayak. I'm a member of the church. Whatever. It knows these different things about me. And so, because it knows this, if I ask it a question, maybe I ask it a religious question, right? Well, it's not going to give me Jewish context. It's going to give me LDS context, right? And vice versa. Let's say I was Jewish. I don't want it to give me LDS context. I want it to give me Jewish context, right? And so, the more it knows about you personally, the better of an answer it can give you. To, right? One of the things I've heard a lot is, you know, most advice out there is bad, right? You get— and the reason is because they're coming from their paradigm, right? You're getting something from someone who maybe believes something differently about how the world works, or someone who's not as good a salesman as you, or someone who's not as good at whatever, right? And then they're trying to give you advice on something, and you're like, yeah, well, you don't really understand my situation. AI doesn't suffer from that as long as you teach it, right? And so you can give it these memories. You can actually You can actually tell it to, you actually tell it to add things to its memory, right? You can tell it a bunch about you and be like, okay, I want you to remember all this stuff, add it to your memory. And then it will, you know, it will do that. You can also, you can also, if you do a new chat, you can click right here. It's not obvious, but this thing right here, you can click on it. Oh, sorry. You have to click on Jon right here. And then you can actually train your GPT, you know, what do you do? What are you? Hey, I'm this, I'm whatever. Okay, what personality should GPT have, right? Cynic, robot, listener, nerd, whatever, right? What trait should it have? Chatty, witty, straight-shooting. You can give it all kinds of stuff. Anything else it should know about you? So there's more places. ChatGPT and all these AI systems are trying to get better at understanding context of you, right? So pretty cool. Um, then the thing that we're going to use today and that I do for every single time I'm trying to build something is projects. I love projects. I'm just going to call it for now Life RPG because I don't have a better name for it. I'll come up with that in a minute, but I'm going to click Create Project and that's going to bring up this new thing, right? So I can, inside this project, I can add files, right? So maybe I'm working on something for work and I've got a bunch of files already, or, you know, I'm trying to build something related to some project I've already working on. I've got other chats. I can just, I can just bring them in here, right? Code, documents, images, whatever you want, you can drag it into here. Okay, then you've got this instructions thing here. So this is like more instructions, but that are specific just to this project, kind of like I was showing you with like how I can customize all of ChatGPT to work for me. I can specifically say, hey, so here's what we'll do in this one, right? I'll say I want you to guide me like Steve Jobs would. I want to build a category-defining app, and I want you to help me guide— I want you now— I want you to guide me to build this in a way that is simple and powerful, and that will gain tons of traction because of how easy it is, how intuitive, intuitive it is to use. Okay, then I'm going to add a little bit more. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, don't agree with me just to agree with me, actively challenge my ideas and help me improve them. Okay. Don't just be a yes man. Okay. So I'm gonna copy this prompt and I'll give it to you guys as well. Just drop it in here. You might be able, you might wanna use that when you set up your thing. You can give it all kinds of different things here. But that's, that's something I'm gonna do here because I want, I, I, I wanna take kind of an Apple-esque approach to this. That's kind of my, my, my idea here. Okay. So Now I've set up my project. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to get started. When I start here, I'm probably going to give it basically the same thing I just gave Replit. We're going to actually start over. Replit, I gave it this prompt, but I would call this, again, it's better than a really bad prompt, but I'm still calling it a bad prompt because it just doesn't have a lot of the why behind it. Right? And it had to make up a bunch of the why. One of the things that we have to make sure we maintain as, um, you know, humans when working with AI is we have to, you know, we have to be the boss, right? Like we've talked about. But in order to be the boss, we have to be the one creating. We need to use AI to amplify our capabilities so we can do stuff faster, stronger. Like, obviously, being able to build a website in, in a minute is awesome, or 10 Intelligence is awesome, but we need to make sure that it's doing what we want it to do. I'm going to change the prompt just a little bit here. I'm going to say I want to build a web app that turns my life into a real-life RPG, kind of. I want to be able to track my life. Let's see here. Make it visually awesome and fun. I want it to be I want it to be visually awesome and fun, but I also want it to be approachable by anybody, not just gamers. Let's really make this— now, you know what, that's fine. Let's just universally appealing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's, let's say that. Yeah, let's make, let's make it universally appealing. Okay, okay. So I'm just going to send that, you know, prompt. And so it's going to then, you know, come back and, and give me some ideas. It's going to think longer for a better answer. I don't need it to do that for now.
Really quickly, that prompt that you sent us in the chat, where did you put that?
Was that in a project? That's in the project. That's in the project instructions, like the prompt instructions, right? And so you guys are going to get to do this in a second. You're going to have about 15 minutes actually to work on this. And so, so just watch for a second while we kind of get— okay, I'm going to skip. I don't want it to go and think long about this yet. I just, I just kind of want to get this started. So here's the MVP spec. It's already, already getting going here. So yeah, it's already building something, even doing that in a canvas, which is kind of fun. So that's kind of cool. We'll show you guys what canvases are in a second. And actually what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go ahead and stop it. I don't want it to— I don't want it to keep going yet. Okay, what I want it to do now, I've told it, here's my first idea. What I want to do here is we're going to have it— remember, we're the boss. We want it to suck information out of us. And so what we're going to do is we're going to use something that I do all the time, and it's this. So we're going to say, I want you to interview me one question at a time about this idea. About this business idea and app. I want you to ask me about the, you know, name, branding, colors, feel, USP— that's the unique selling proposition— target market, monetization, strategy, and anything else. Monetization strategy, go to— let's also say go-to-market strategy, and anything else you need to know to help me build a solid business plan. Okay. Okay, perfect. So I'm going to copy this prompt as well. I'll give it to you also in the chat. But this thing, when you ask it to interview you one question at a time, is really, really powerful. Okay, so let's go step by step. Let's do this. What's the name you're leaning toward for this app? Do you already have one in mind, or should we explore fresh directions together? So on this, I'm going to say, yeah, give me some ideas. Okay, so you can even just ask it, talk to it, right? A lot of times when people ask it for help or ask ChatGPT or Perplexity or Claude or whatever, they'll say, hey, just— and it'll give you like 10 questions all at once. And your brain isn't great at answering 10 questions at once. It's really good at answering one at a time. Right. And so anyway, I might just call it life, right? Level up life. I don't know. XP life. Questly rise. Elevate momentum. Thrive. Ascend.
Flow.
Stay.
This is actually an idea I've had for a while. Um, let's just call it for now, um, Strava is actually a really good one. Calm, Headspace, Metaphorical. Atlas is kind of cool, it's kind of fun. Forge is also kind of cool. Forge app, live Forge, Echoes. No, Echoes is something else I'm doing. Flow State is something else I'm doing. Don't steal my ideas. It's actually pulling from my chats, um, good for those, for those two ones there. Flowstate is my, it's my, um, consulting business. Ascent sounds fine. Rise also good. I just, I'm thinking about one of the things I'm gonna do is I'm thinking about a name, guys, is I'm going to be like, okay, GoDaddy, what's available, right? Like if I try to do rise.com, like obviously that's not going to be available. And so I shouldn't do that, right? Maybe it's, you know, level up is also not going to be available. XP life, I'm sure, is not going to be available. So let's try this. Let's try some words that are made up. Okay, so we'll mess with this for a second. Zira, Nevo, Neva, level in Swedish, playful, Nevo, that's random. I don't like any of these. Give me some more. I actually like to come up with a name kind of in the beginning just because it kind of starts to— it kind of like gives me some direction. I probably take too long to do this part, but I just— I don't know. I still don't like any of these things. So for now, for now, let's just call it Life. Boom. Okay, to me, the Life app. Okay, so bold and universal. All right, so how do you want life to feel? So now that I've answered that question, it realizes, okay, now I can get back to the interview, right? How do you want it to feel? Let's make it bold and motivational. Like Strava.
That's cool.
And so it's just going to keep asking me these questions, guys. So this is what I want you guys to do now with your own idea, with whatever, whatever you're building.
Screen.
And by the way, guys, I want it all to be clear. If whatever idea you have, don't feel like I'm not sure if I want to do this idea. Like I've got this one, but I'm not sure if I want to do it for this course. Just do it, right? I've had people build 3 apps by the time they're done with this course, right? And what you're trying to learn here is just the process. After you know how to do this process, you're going to be able to be like, I got an idea, I have it ready in an hour. Like you'll be super fast at doing this. So go ahead and start, build a new project. You know, get the prompt set up however you want to do and then give it the idea. Just say, hey, I want to build this and, you know, give it some instructions and then ask it, ask it to start, you know, interviewing you with the prompt. So we're going to take— it's 10:43, 10:44. We'll go right till 11. Okay. So we got 16 minutes. Go ahead and get— I'll keep my screen sharing going just so it kind of records it for the, for the recording. But if you have any questions, go ahead and ask me. But dive in. Okay, also I need some sugar, my blood sugar's low here. By the way, you guys ever seen these? They're like these little honey, like, energy—
they're so good, man.
Those are delicious. And I also have these fruit smoothie ones that I tried as well. I'm— they're same brand. Yeah.
Energy Juice.
Anyway, good stuff there. Good, good stuff.
Good fuel. Some fun other names that you could try instead of Life, you could, uh, depending on who you want to market this to, could be like Mortality or Second Estate.
Um, Yeah, like a second— you're like recording again, you're recording your life. Yeah, I get it. I like those. I don't know about you guys, but I love going through this. Like, it's fun. The questions it asks are just fun. It makes it be like, oh man, this is real. Like, it's— I never thought about that, you know.
It's really cool. It's a pretty unique experience, right, going through the process and then never really having done that. Yeah, from a launch perspective and considering things that are, you know, I mean, it's just extremely thorough.
Any question? You guys, another about 3 minutes is all for this part of the exercise. And you don't have to get like 20 questions done, right? Usually 10 or so gets you pretty— gets you pretty far. Hey guys, take just another minute and finish this piece up. Maybe get— knock out one more answer, and then we'll move to the next part here. Hey guys. All right, so I'm, I'm about done with mine here. This is something that's, and it's hard because I mentioned when I built GenAIPI, I built a business in a weekend. It took me 35 hours, right? We only have 8 hours here together and so, we obviously can't completely simulate that. I spent 3 hours doing this part when I built my business, right? Because I went really deep into like, "Okay, I really want to nail this part. Can we talk about this?" So, I had a really nice long conversation trying to figure out how I could get this and I figured out with GenAIPI, I was like, I want it to be an institute. I want it to be a dot org. I want it to feel really official and like a standard setting thing. Right. And, and so, and so I went that route and it took me a while to figure out. I didn't know that at the beginning. I didn't know that I wanted that until I really started diving in. But, but I figured out that if I was an institute and a dot org, that businesses would take me more seriously right from the get-go. Right. They'd be like, okay, these guys are like, they're the ones that set the standards on AI proficiency. Agency. So yeah, let's go to them, right? Turned out my, my hypothesis was correct on that, right? Businesses have immediately started doing that, and I'm going to share some progress on that in a bit. But, uh, but anyway, so now once you've done this, this activity, you can, you can have it go, like I said, for a long time. Like, I'm trying to work on— like, this is way better than it was initially, right? Like, it's so cool. Um, And checking streaks. Also the subtle white, black, gray color scheme. Let's have that. Okay. All right. So once you've done, you've answered some questions, you can kind of just stop your interview after you've done, you know, whatever it is. And so now we've got some daily loops. I've got some different things in the orb, this stuff, daily experience workflow. So it's starting to really figure out what, what people are going to do inside of my app life or whatever I end up calling it later on. For now, it's just going to be called life. So now it's saying, hey, okay, when someone levels up, so it's just going to keep going and going and going. Like you could do this interview, like I said, for hours. At some point you said, be like, okay, I'm not going to answer this question. Okay. Like there are some, some things that I need to figure out. Like for example, well, how many points are a level, right? What does the leveling system look like? If I work on something for 30 minutes, well, how much should that progress me, right? Like, I haven't figured out any of that math yet, so I might need to do that in a bit. But for now, what I want it to do is I want it to help me build a business plan. Okay, so, so I'm just going to say, using everything we've discussed, please build a $2,000 word business plan. Yeah, using the Canvas tool. Okay, we're just going to say that. So I'm going to just send that off. I'll give you guys this prompt. Okay, the Canvas tool inside of ChatGPT basically is kind of like a, kind of like a Google Doc or, you know, a Word document, whatever, right? But it builds this thing. I can then go in, I can actually edit it. I I can copy all the text. I can just download the file. It's really quite a useful thing. It just creates this document. And so, for me, hey, Life is a sleek motivational web app designed to gamify real-world growth across 4 universal dimensions: spiritual, social, intellectual, and physical. Thanks, Pablo, for that little guide. Unlike habit trackers, Life is a growth engine. It acknowledges past investment in skills, rewards ongoing effort with XP, provides a living dashboard powered by data, sleek visualizations, and an AI voice guide built with a bold Strava-like aesthetic and a universally appealing experience. Life helps users not just form habits but level up across the areas of life that matter most. So that's amazing. That's like a really solid, you know, just first paragraph. Like I'm excited about using that and, and building that, right? So here's the features. There's my vision and mission. Here's the problem statement, unique selling position. Why are we different? Why is it going to be a little bit different? Here's the market opportunity. Wellness app is massive. Well, it's just, you know, $7 billion global market growing 15% annually. That's big time. Here's the brand identity. Here are the colors. It just finished, so it took me to the bottom here. But this is important, guys. All of these things matter, right? Because these are all instructions that we're going to give to Replit now in a minute, and it's going to have way more detail, right? So here are the, here are the colors. It's going to be, yeah, black, white, and cool grays, like a And it's going to be really fun there. Lots of cool shaders, glowing edges, a subtle orb that shifts colors with activity focus, right? And then you've got all these different things. You've got XP system, onboarding dashboard, life guide, retention strategy. I even have my monetization, right? So many people, so many developers, so many smart people just start building apps with or without AI. They start building. Without having any idea how they're going to make money with it. They just start building a thing that does something and then they try to figure out monetization later on. But if you actually start from the beginning by thinking about, okay, what's the model here? How am I going to be making money? How do I make this a billion-dollar app? How do I make it a $100 million app? Whatever it is, how do I just make $30,000 a month for myself? How do I build something that's actually really going to make a difference out there? It really, guys, remember earlier when I said that the AI will fill in the gaps, right? And our human minds will fill in gaps as well. If we give it this information about here is how I'm going to make money when it is trying to then fill in the gaps, because there inevitably will be gaps that we don't cover. Right? It's impossible to think about everything, but sometimes it's going to have to make a decision where it's like, okay, I'm doing a design element. Oh, you know what? The goal really should be to get this person to sign up, right? To pay for this. That's the goal here, right? Is to, you know, push the vision and the mission and make money, right? And so if you teach it that, it's awesome. Then it even builds a go-to-market strategy, competitive analysis, all this stuff. Okay, so go ahead and make your business plan, have it do that using the canvas tool. And then you should have a, a document. Okay. All right. Now I'm going to show you what's next. By the way, you can actually jump in. Like I mentioned, you can jump in and click edit. Like once it's built this, if you're like, you know, I want to change a little thing here, I want to just get rid of, you know, some of this, you know, market go-to-market strategy. I don't know if I need to, to do some of that stuff. Competitive analysis, differentiation, financial projections. Like, I don't need financial projections here. I don't need this in my business plan. Risk mitigation. That's actually kind of good to have. Yeah, this is good. Okay, so I've been able to change just a couple of things here. I've got my nice business plan. So now what I'm going to do, guys, is I'm going to just copy this business plan. I'll just click the copy button here and now I'm going to go back to X. I'm going to start a new conversation. I'm going to go back to Groq, right? We're going to do some market research, right? So I'm going to say, Please do some— and by the way, I don't want on fast, I want it on expert on this one. Please do some research and check X other websites and give me some— yeah, X. And I'm actually going to say many other websites and give me some detailed feedback. On this business plan. Focus less on the quality of the business plan itself and more on the idea, the market, and the quality of No, you know what? We're just going to say that the idea and the market, we're just going to do that. We'll start there. Okay. So I'm going to then and I'll hold Shift, return, return, and I'll paste that and I'll click go. Okay. So now it's off doing work for me. I'll give you guys this prompt. Copy chat here. Okay. So this is where I'm going to start to get some good feedback here. You can also do this in ChatGPT. You can do it in Perplexity. There's lots of different apps out there where you can do research where it can search the internet. But again, I like using X because X has access to Twitter, it has access to people out there talking. Um, anyway, by the way, I've done this before. I've done this, uh, this, you know, business plan thing before, and I found like exactly what I'm building. Someone else has built it. I've never heard of it. It, and I'm super happy because I'm like, hey, I don't have to build this. Or I'm like, hey, you know what, it's good, but it's just missing a few things. And so now I'm going to add on to it. I'm going to be better. Okay, then it's going to give you some market analysis and feedback. Yeah, and I want you to read it. I want you to take a minute and just read, read what it says for you.
Okay. Are we following along with your screen or doing this?
You should be doing this on yours now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead and dive in, create your business plan, and then jump into X and do your, do your research. Just take, take 3 or 4 minutes here and just kind of read through it while it's loading. Step away for a sec. You're okay. Man, this feed, this, I'm, I'm an entrepreneur, guys. I like to build stuff. I like to take ideas and bring them to life. This one is freaking cool. I might actually take this one all the way through and really launch this one. I haven't actually launched an app yet by myself. I've done it before with developers, right? But, but I've never gone through— like, Replit can— you, you have to go through a couple steps, but it's not that hard. But you can go from Replit to, you know, I, you know, iOS and Android, whatever, and push this out. Grok's a huge fan of this. Like, I've had, I've had Grok come back and just tear my ideas apart and just be like, these are terrible, right? Pretty cool. Okay. All right, guys. So I've got a few ideas here. So it says, all right, here's a few opportunities. Here's a few challenges. So, and then idea viability, things like that. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going I'm going to copy everything that it told me here. It searched 5, it found a few posts, whatever, that it specifically referenced, 96 web pages that it searched through. So it did a ton of research for me. I can obviously keep having this conversation and go deeper and dig deeper, whatever. Right now what I'm going to do is I'm going to copy the text that it gave me as my feedback on this idea, and I'm going to go back to ChatGPT. Whoops, I'm in the wrong ChatGPT here. Here we go. I'm going to go back. I'm going to say, Please use this feedback to create an improved and updated business plan. Call it— or create a new canvas and call it improved— whoops— improved business plan. Okay. Okay. Then I'm going to give it my feedback here and I'm going to say go. Okay. So now to create a new canvas, we'll create a brand new plan and we'll be, we'll be pushing forward. So go ahead and do this. I'll use the, I'll give you guys the prompt there in the chat. Okay. So that should only take a second. Um, yeah, this is pretty cool. So let that build out. The next thing we're going to do, guys, is we're going to start making— we're going to do a couple other little documentation pieces here. We'll probably just— we'll probably just do one, actually. So this, this part, this is like the business plan. This is the why, this is the how, this is the the, you know, monetization strategy. It's, it's the business side of things. Again, really important to help the AI fill in the gaps. Okay, but then we're going to build out— the next thing we're going to do here is, is we're going to work on the— well, not work on, we're just going to ask it to build. It's going to be super easy prompt, but we're going to basically say, now build me a new canvas called feature lists. This should be a, an exhaustive list of all front-end and back-end features needed for this app. Don't specify which, um, technical tools will be used for each feature. Just give me the features. Okay. All right, so it's going to create another document here. I'll give you this prompt as well. So now we're going to have two documents. We're going to business plan and your feature lists. So I've got my onboarding, here's my dashboard, Here's my activity logging. Here are all the different things that I need to be able to do, right? Here's the Life Guide, social features, gamification, rewards, etc., etc. Okay, all right, so go ahead and catch up for a second, guys, so that you have, um, so you have all these things ready to go. Oops. Now I want you to check it too, right? So some of the things I'm looking for in my business plan, like there were a couple things, like I came up with these names and ideas for the, for the like coach that's going to work here. Um, okay, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to do, I'm going to do one more thing here. Um, please create a new canvas. Called Important Details. This should have any other details that are important for the developer to have. For example, the names of the different 5 coaches. And their roles. Find these types of details that were not included in the business plan canvas and anything else that will be important. We're building a good system. Okay, so I just want to make sure that it kind of has all of this, all of this stuff available. This will be the last document we create, and then we will be in Replit. Important details. Onboarding nuances, daily flow, weekly reflections, social features, viral loops, customization, accessibility, developer notes. Yeah, this is freaking cool. I'm so glad that I did this. I actually haven't ever done like an important details one, but, but there were just so many things I didn't see in the business plan that I know I talked about and I wanted to make sure that it did that. So So anyway, guys, now I have an— I have a business plan and an improved business plan. We're not going to use the first one. We'll just use that. Just this. Then we have a feature list and then I have this important details canvas. So 3 different documents.
Did you have a question? Give us the prompt for that important details canvas.
Oh yeah, totally, totally. So yeah, mine was a little bit specific to mine, but, but yeah, you could just, yeah, please create a new canvas called important details. It should have any other just important for the developer to have. Right. And then you could say, for example, you know, whatever, you know, if you wanted to, or you could just say that it probably can figure out things that were not included in the business plan should be, should be available there.
Okay.
All right. All right, guys. So the next thing we're going to do here is pretty simple. We're just going to say, please give me a 3-sentence description what we are building. Okay. And now we're ready for Replit, guys. Okay, so if you haven't— has everybody signed up for Replit? Okay. Because it's time to use it. Have you not done that yet, Parker?
I have not.
Let me do that right now. Yeah, go ahead and do that really quick. Use— there's a link in my— here, I just give you the link again really quick. Let me just snag this invite thing. Copy link and chat. No, not chat, I need Zoom. Chat, paste.
Whoops.
There you go. Yeah, go ahead and just click that link. You can sign up there. Just sign up for the— you can do annual if you want, or you can do the monthly Um, it's cheaper if you do annual. When I first found Replit, I signed up for the annual immediately because I was like, this is crazy, so, so cool. Like, I knew I was going to use it a lot, and I dove in. But do whatever, do whatever you want there. Um, okay, so now that we've got, um, now that we've got these elements here, now we're going to set up our Replit project. So I've built this cool life RPG, whatever, that's fine. I'm going to go back to home. I'm just going to abandon that project and I'm going to start a new one. Okay, so right here it says, hey, what do you want to make? Okay. And so it says describe an app. This is where we're going to paste our 3-sentence description. Okay, so grab that 3-sentence description you just did, paste it right there. Don't click start building it. Okay. Paste that description. Then we're going to copy the, the 3, 2 or 3 documents that you have, right? So I've got this important details one. I'm just going to copy it. I'm going to paste it. And when you paste it in Replit, it's too long to like show all the text, and so it will, it will show up kind of, it will look like an attachment. Okay. And I'm going to come up, I'm going to grab my feature list and paste it. Then I'm going to grab my improved business plan that has integrated some of my market research into it. And then I'm going to type, please be sure to carefully and thoroughly review the attached documents with requirements.
Okay.
All right. So I'm going to sit here and wait until you guys say I'm ready to go. But you should have— so this is where you should be. You should be 3 sentences telling you what you've got. And then this extra little line, please be sure to carefully, thoroughly review the attached documents and then paste the documents that we created in ChatGPT.
Sorry for being a little slow on this.
You're good.
What was the prompt for the 3-sentence description? Is it just, please give me a 3-sentence description of the app?
Yep. Yep. Yeah, I might not have copied that one yet, but yeah, just please, yeah, please give me a 3-sentence description of what we're building. Yeah, that's what I like to say. Whoops, I went to the wrong spot again. Yeah, I'll copy that prompt and just drop it in for you guys so that it's in the chat history. Yeah, go ahead and take a second, get it right, and then once you're ready, just say, hey, I'm, I'm ready. And then right after this step, guys, we'll take a 10-minute break. Okay.
Sorry, Jon Cheney, you repeat. I was— my computer was a little slow there. So I got the 3-sentence description. Yep. Copy and pasting that over and then clicking or copying and pasting the, uh, those 3 up top there.
Yep. Yeah, those 3 documents. Yeah, you've got your feature list, your business plan, and then I had the important details document as well.
And you're just copying and pasting in there.
It's not— yeah, they look like attachments, but I'm just copying the text and pasting it, and then it creates like an attachment automatically. Like Replit just does that with long text. And then be sure to, to put the last little line. Please be sure to carefully and thoroughly review the attached documents with requirements and details. And I did drop that in the chat as well.
How you coming, Parker? It's coming along. I'm still getting the featureless canvas. Loading it up right now.
Yep. I'm working currently on a work computer. Here, and they've, for security, cut off access to ChatGPT. So I'm doing this in Groq. So instead of having Canvas, I've created a Markdown file, and I'm trying that.
That's okay.
Markdown will work.
I'm trying to find out if that works. A Markdown file is perfectly fine.
Okay. I think it's good to go.
Running now. That's crazy. Why on earth have they blocked you from ChatGPT?
I don't know. They've shut us off from ChatGPT and Claude. Super weird, but we have Groq, uh, and they're paying for Gemini for now. Fair enough, fair enough. So far I'm really enjoying the, the hands-on. Um, we're going fast, but I think that's good. And I like that you pointed out that you spent multiple hours on this. Because I definitely feel like I could be spending more time fleshing out the actual app.
Yeah.
But I think it's cool also that you're building something, that you are building something right now. And it seems, it occurs to me that this is something that you could use when you're having your discussions with Dean Graziosi later on, because I know they do lots of coaching. The app that you're building right now is great for something like that.
No, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. Dean and team are, are fun to work with. Really, really sharp people. It's amazing. They have like 300 people in their company mastermind and it's crazy. They're like, yeah, we're going to, we're going to write a book and we're going to put out, you know, a new website and build, you know, all these coaching programs and put on a 3-day event and we have 90 days to do it. That's so cool. Really fun to watch. My job is just to make sure that they don't go off the rails with what they're teaching with AI, that we're teaching the right stuff. Okay. Once you're done, guys, once you— once your screen looks like mine where you've pasted the 3 things, you've got the 3-sentence description, go ahead and click Start Building. Okay, um, and what we're going to do, we're going to go ahead and take a 10-minute break right now. It's 11:30, we'll go to 11:40. Um, I, you know, there's a lot to go over still today, but, but I mean, not the time, like, we're doing, we're doing well, we're on time. But let's take a 10-minute break. If you're not quite caught up, you can use the 10 minutes to maybe catch up. Um, but yeah, get up, stretch, go to the bathroom, grab a snack, whatever, and we'll see you guys in 10 minutes. I'm going to turn off my video and audio here, but I'll just keep my screen on, and I am going to click Start Building. Okay, that's what you want to do. Click that as quickly as possible because then it's just going to start to work. It might— it'll take about 10 minutes for your first version to come up.
Okay, does it come up with kind of an initial visual preview? Is that what we're looking at?
Well, yeah, it will. So you click— you'll click Start Building, then it will come up and it will say, you know, do you want to approve the plan and start? Just click, yeah, Approve Plan. So yeah, you can watch my screen for a second here. It'll It will go through a visual preview initially and then it will start building more stuff to start to bring it to life. Okay, sweet. Give me just a second here. It's thinking hard right now on this one. This was a big— I gave it a lot of stuff.
I'm pretty stoked.
This is awesome.
Yeah, it's fun.
The, the, the UI that it generated for me is pretty simple, but I think for my target audience that's probably good.
That's okay. That's where you start. And you can— we'll do some— we'll do all this upgrading stuff later. You can like totally revamp it with a few prompts. So, um, but anyway, we'll talk about it in a minute. All right, we'll see you guys in, in, I don't know, 8 or 9 minutes. Okay.
What app are you creating, Pablo? So, um, I'm creating an app that's aimed to help blue-collar business owners to run their business, to make it less painful to transition to whatever they're doing to having a blue-collar business. I think that with the rise of AI, a lot of jobs like what I do— holy smokes, his UI is looking great. The AI that— I mean, sorry, the work that I do is math-focused and it's consulting. And I think both stats consulting and statistics in general are going to go away.. And I think that as people realize that right now, there's a lot of pushback to that, but I think it's inevitable. But when that happens, people are going to need to become entrepreneurs like Jon was saying. And I think one area that people are going to turn to is blue-collar work, working with your hands, working in person, the things that are not going to be automated as quickly because the robots that would be required to automate those jobs are currently in development., and they're not in deployment yet. And so I think people are going to try to move to careers that are safer in that way. And I'd like to make that process easier for people. I have a lot of friends that are start— they're either entrepreneurs themselves, have their own blue-collar company, whether it's like laying concrete, preventative home maintenance. And they just have their small group. They don't know how to use AI. I think that you could use AI to build out, to like, to make a lot of the processes, like the paperwork, a lot easier.
Yeah.
And so, um, and a lot of these people also like work with a lot of like Hispanic immigrants, and so like their tools like aren't bilingual to begin with. Um, and as my first name might suggest, I speak Spanish, and so I think it'd be really easy for me to to one, check to see if the Spanish is good, English to Spanish translation, and then also to connect both with the Hispanic and native, like US, native US, white US English speakers. So I think I could hit both markets. And I'd like to build an app that like offers different levels of ease or simplicity for their business. For example, like automated video quoting. Let's say you're going to sell your service and you give a quote, but you have one of your employees do it who speaks Spanish. They could click a button, take a video of them walking around the property highlighting what things would need to be done, and then end the video. It would translate it and generate a quote for the customer in English. Boom. There we go.
Wow.
So this is, I think, and this could be done not just for, this could be done across like different trades, you know, like this can be done for plumbers, electricians, HVAC. And so that's kind of what I'm aiming to do.
What about you? Is that the idea that you just barely came up with or that's what you came up with like before?
This is an idea that I came to the class with. I've been bouncing ideas off of my brother-in-law and my other friends who are in these small companies or who are running these small companies. And it seems like this is something that is a common pain point. People don't like like all the paperwork.
Yeah.
And there's the language barrier. And I think this is going to make running these kinds of businesses easier and more people are going to want to run these kinds of businesses when AI does their job.
Yeah.
Well, that's actually—
it's a good idea. Thanks, man.
Let's see if I can get it out.
Yeah.
Oh, I believe in you, bro. Well, the one, the one I'm making right now, um, is just an idea I had. I've been like, like my whole life I've been like super obsessed with like sleep and like, oh, nice, getting good sleep. And like, I feel like not a lot of people just like realize how important their sleep is.
Totally.
That like, by, you know, staying up for an extra hour a day before, it could just like totally wreck, you know, a bunch of different things. And me, like, I'm not like the type of person to be like motivated by like, oh, I like want better sleep for like good reasons, you know, being, being in sales, I know that people are more willing to do things to stay away from like bad consequences rather than like doing something in order to achieve a goal. And so the, I don't know, the idea that ChatGPT just gave me, it's coding the app right now is it's. It kind of uses, uh, but, and there are like a lot of like sleep app, sleep apps that kind of help with sleeping to improve sleep. But I kind of wanted to focus on the idea of like accountability and like really showing people that like, hey, if you're an athlete, it like, you know, if you're, you know, a student, your performance, you get bad sleep, your performance in your test tomorrow is gonna be 7%. Worse compared to people who had 8 hours or whatever sleep. And it kind of like uses Apple, you know, uses the health systems integrated into our devices already to kind of automatically track it. So it's not like, you know, like those apps where it's like shoving, shoving stuff down your throat where it's like, yeah, like you got to do this, this, this, this, yada, yada, yada. It's just like an app you can open up, tracks your sleep, and it can kind of predict what, you know, how it's been affecting you and the consequences that you might run into in the future, leading people to naturally want to improve their sleep rather than, you know, like, oh, I heard sleep is good because, you know, for whatever reason I need to get it better rather than like I don't know, like, see, I think this is a really cool app of how it could, of how it could help them.
So I think you could sell this specifically to like, um, coaches for like high school or college teams so they can track the performance of, of their, um, their teammate team members. You could also sell this to parents directly. So because parents are usually interested in their children's testing performance.
Yep.
Um, and all of Oh, some, something that ChatGPT even said was like, this wasn't even my idea. It said that like doctors could use it cuz like to hold patients more accountable and like doc, like being a doctor could be something that's not even like, you don't even need to go in person. It's just like, oh, like those are the issues you're having? Like, oh, it's because all these reasons, you know, like totally.
Or it could even tie into what Tyson's doing with insurance. So like, let's say you want to insure a company, maybe you're willing to give them a lower rate if they have a good sleep score, or if they're— if however you've gamified their health experience, if they're doing really well as a company, then they can get a lower rate. And it can be a way for people to get a lower payment and also just have better productivity as a company. I know at our company, We, we have a gym attached and there's a trainer there. And every day we do a 5-minute workout. And the company itself, like, they incentivize us to work out every day. They say, okay, if you work out in a 5-minute workout every time you do it, that's an extra 5 minutes of PTO. And so you earn a PTO that way, but they use it as a negotiating point within our insurance companies. And they say, hey, all of our employees are working out. Um, wow, we're healthier, we should get a lower rate. And so we use that to negotiate with insurance companies.
Tyson, do you see stuff like that? Yeah, we can. And certainly having proof of it is the most important aspect of it, um, right? I mean, generally wellness programs are kind of fluff in what we do, right? Oh, let's do a walking program, and 1 out of 100 do it, right?
It's—
but when you have proof and those guys are in and it's documented and you can see actually improved health and so on. I mean, that could be a critical component to just leveraging and having negotiating power with them, right? Not everything's avoidable, but certainly it helps when people are active physically, helps the mental side, helps the, you know, everything. But yeah, and I, I think on the sleep, I mean, I'm my wife and I are a bit of, uh, maybe extreme on the sleep side with our kids, where it's like, you don't understand the value that this is for your brain development right now. Like, you can't fully understand it, and you are mad at me because your friends are hanging out late and we're making you go to bed. But it's like, to understand that more from a parental standpoint, to try to get kids to See that?
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, I think, yeah, undervalued for kids. Everyone wants to just stay up late and it's like, no, you're, you're missing out on brain development.
Yeah. And maybe this could tie into what Jon is building right now. So like, for example, if you have your kids, if they're sleeping well, then they're leveling up their life, maybe to cruise points towards, maybe there's low multiplier.
It's a multiplier. You make it like, hey, everything you did that day is times, you know, 1.1. Oh wow. Yeah, if you didn't sleep or you've missed a few days, maybe you're at 0.9. You're just not able to progress or learn as fast if you're not sleeping well. Yeah, there's really cool science.
I love that. And maybe there could be ways to like, um, do local partnerships where people recognize the, the points that you're earning in the app and they say, oh, like, you're leveled up really high in this, like, we'll give you a discount for whatever service we offer that's related to the points that you've been developing. For example, like, let's say you're increasing in your XP for your kayaking or whatever it is, and you're going a lot. Maybe there's some sort of discount that you could negotiate. I don't know, that's just a silly idea.
It's not a silly idea. That's how you make money. That is exactly what I would do. And I've thought, I've thought this idea actually, guys, it's actually, I actually, when I was sitting here thinking, I was like, what is one of the ideas I've had for a long time that I've never done? And this is what came up, right? This, I was like, I'm going to build Life. I've thought about this a lot. And, um, anyway, pretty cool, pretty cool stuff, guys, here.
So, you know, start, I think, I think the church would buy something like this because they currently are using the Life app.
And nobody uses it, right? Yeah, totally. No, I agree. Please replace the Replit auth with a standard JWT auth. All right. So anyway, guys, all right, well, welcome back. We've got, we've got another 75 minutes or so, which is going to go by really fast. These 4 hours just fly. I kind of want to make the course longer, but it's just hard. It's hard to make it longer because people, it's hard for people to get time them off and to like stay focused for all that time. But anyway, we're getting a lot done. We're getting a lot done today. How about your apps? Like, you can see my screen, but how do yours look? Are you guys excited about what you're seeing? Anybody want to share? Sure, I'd love to just see it for just a second and then we'll— here, go ahead and click that again. Go ahead and click share again.
Sorry, I had to stop mine first. Yeah, no worries. Okay, so my app is based on the idea that as AI takes more and more white-collar jobs, more people are going to want to start transitioning to being entrepreneurs.
And by the way, click Approve Plan and Start at the bottom there. There you go. Now it's gonna— now it's gonna really—
thank you. Yeah, so the idea is that more people are going to want to start, um, being entrepreneurs, and more people are going to want to start doing blue-collar work work because a lot of the white-collar work is going to be taken up. And so I want to facilitate people making that transition or people who are already there, making their business less painful to run. And so I think it'd be fun to automate a lot of the paperwork that is done and also to seamlessly integrate bilingually. So a lot of people employ Latinos or they're Latinos who are running their business, but they're servicing English speakers. And so they, that's a limitation for them. I think it'd be nice to be able to generate quotes or do scheduling where people, they can just take a video of what needs to be done, explain as they're walking through what needs to be done, and then have AI translate what they said and the video content that was made to create a quote in English or in Spanish, whoever the customer is. And that automates pricing and a lot of the other paperwork like smart scheduling, customer management. And I think this could be done across pretty much any blue-collar job that happens at people's homes or their properties.
And so the idea is just to make it easier for people to run their company. Yeah, it's really cool. Where do you start your mission?
Are you Spanish-speaking somewhere? Yeah. So as my name, Pablo, and then my last name is Basque. Basque. So that's in the north of Spain. I got to serve in the north of Spain even though I actually specifically asked to serve Chinese-speaking. There's a spot in the papers where you can say any comments you'd like the brethren to consider, right?
I said, yeah, I'd like to serve in Asia. You served in Basque Country. So for the last two summers we've had, uh, so both. That's very cool. For the last two summers we've had, um, uh, what do you call them, foreign exchange students come and live with us for a both. They're both from where? Basque Country.
Oh, no way!
That's awesome. Which towns? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what towns, but their names are all hard to say. Yeah, that's pretty classic. Unas was the one from this year, and then Xavier was the one from last year. So, um, yeah, they both had that X sound. But anyway, pretty cool. That's awesome. Well, thank you for showing me. I mean, look, I know you might, by the way, did you try switching to the, to the, the language right there?
Did you push that button up in the top right?
Yeah, let's try it. Uh, you know what, it's not working yet. It's not working yet because it's still, because you just, you just barely pushed the approve plan and start. So let it, yeah, let it work for a minute. That's awesome.
Um, okay, anybody else want to share theirs?
Mine's still kind of, uh, running. That's okay. How about you, Parker?
How you coming? I just clicked mine as well.
I just tried clicking around. That's fine. So what we'll do, guys, is we'll just keep going for a minute. Um, actually, what we're gonna do is we're gonna have a little bit of discussion here while you're— while your things are still working. Um, I'm going to share a little video here. Let me pull it up here. Um, give me a second to find it. And let's see here where—
that's July.
I think it's in here. Where is this video? Is it this? Nope. That's okay, we're going to do this. Give me just a second, guys. I've lost my screen. Here it is. Okay, yeah, this is what I'm looking for. Okay, sorry, let me share the screen. Share. Okay, hopefully you can hear this all right. So this is, um, Eric Schmidt. He's the former CEO of Google, chairman of the board. He's worth like $22 billion or something. He's like crazy, crazy rich. Um, but, uh, anyway, let's listen to him. He actually said all these words back in April of this year, so just take that for what it is. We've progressed a lot even since then. Hold on, hold on, we gotta click this button.
All right, there we go. We believe as an industry that in the next 1 year, the vast majority of programmers will be replaced by AI programmers. We also believe that within 1 year, you will have graduate-level mathematicians that are at the tippy top of graduate math programs. So that's 1 year.
Okay.
What happens in 2 years? Well, I've just told you about reasoning and I told you about programming and I told you about math. Programming plus math are the basis of sort of our whole digital world. So the evidence and the claims from the research groups in OpenAI and Anthropic and so forth is that there are now somewhere around 10 or 20% of the code that they're developing in their research programs is being generated by the computer. That's called recursive self-improvement, is the technical term. So what happens when this thing starts to scale? Well, a lot. One way to say this is that within 3 to 5 years, we'll have what is called general intelligence, AGI, which can be defined as a system that is as smart as the smartest mathematician, physicist, artist, writer, thinker, politician. I call this, by the way, the San Francisco consensus because everyone who believes this is in San Francisco. It may be the water. What happens when every single one of us has the equivalent of the smartest human on every problem in our pocket? But the reason I want to make the point here is that in the next year or two, this foundation is being locked in. And it's not— we're not going to stop it. It gets much more interesting after that because remember, the computers are now doing self-improvement. They're learning how to plan and they don't have to listen to us anymore. We call that superintelligence or ASI, artificial superintelligence. And this is the theory that there will be computers that are smarter than the sum of humans. The San Francisco consensus is this occurs within 6 years, just based on scaling. This path is not understood in our society. There's no language for what happens with the arrival of this. That's why it's underhyped. People do not understand what happens when you have intelligence at this level, which is largely free.
All right. All right, so discussion time. What do you guys think about that as you listen to that?
I have a lot of thoughts on this.
It's okay if I jump in?
Yeah, go ahead, Baba. I'll try to be brief. Um, I've been listening— a big part of the reason why I'm so focused on AI, um, is I've been listening to him and other people talking about what life looks like after ASI, um, and there From what I understand, there are kind of two general schools of thought, and they're both kind of preceded by this period of time which we're in right now, which they call the era of augmented intelligence, the time period during which AI is available, we can all use it, and there are lots of benefits that can be reaped by using it effectively. I think that's what we're all here, we're paying to learn right now. Yep. Once ASI is achieved, the game totally changes. And this is where the near-term dystopia theories pop up, of two different flavors. One where there's a lot of overregulation of AI leading to authoritarianism and UBI, where everyone is dependent upon whoever controls the AI for their survival. And the other is total chaos, society collapses, people go and collapse into tribes. I think long term there is a middle path that I would call Zion that kind of is the solution to either one of those problems. It's a tribe among tribes in the chaos side where people are aligned with values. We're all helping each other out. We're independent from the other tribes. Also, in the authoritarian side, we would be independent of the need to subscribe to UBI. We wouldn't be dependent upon whatever hierarchical structures created after ASI. I think so, Zion's really the solution, I think. But before then, I think now is the time to learn how to use AI to provide for your family, to make an impact. And that's kind of the underlying reason of why I'm in this class.
Well, you are spot on in my opinion, right? This is what— there's a lot of opinions in all of this, obviously.
Right.
And you're— but you're very good at saying that, too. I personally, without getting too spiritual, I believe it's more the latter, right, where it is the tribes. Where society is going to break down. Like a lot of what we enjoy is just kind of our stable society today is going to break down a lot. I think that's just part of what will usher in the second coming. And if you read all kinds of really cool books, I've got one called Prophecy that's just amazing. It's just a whole bunch of stuff from prophets talking about like what is it going to be like leading up to it. And tribes is what is, is said is going to happen. So that's really interesting. Obviously Eric Schmidt doesn't believe that. He's not LDS and he's not— we're not going to go super, super deep down that pathway, although I'm happy to have it at another time. I think it's a great discussion. But yeah, you're right. We're in a spot right now where it is this augmented human capability. And the 4 of us here on this call clearly are going to have a huge advantage over all the people that are not on this call, right? You're going to be able to produce things. I mean, none of us are software developers, at least in the way that, you to be able to build this stuff. And now, we're building websites and apps and things like it's— you're putting together like an Instagram post. Like, it's not that much harder than just learning how to post something. And that's crazy. That's crazy. That's a new world. I did the math. I've raised, like I said, tens of millions of dollars and had to hire people because I don't know how to code. So, I always had to hire teams and, you know, to build stuff and you have to spend a lot of money before you even know if it's a good idea, right? Like, before I even knew my idea Seek was even like had any legs whatsoever, I'd already raised $500,000 and I'm already kind of stuck like I was talking about earlier, right? I'm stuck down this pathway. I'm like, okay, well, I guess this is what I'm doing now. You know, like, I have no choice now. I've done this. Now, obviously, that's not completely true. You can always hire a CEO and give up your equity and just kind of sail off into the sunset. You can do that. But most people, when they start something, they try to see it through to the end. But, uh, so I did some math and I tried to figure out what would it take to build, you know, GenAIPI, everything that this system can do. Um, you know, it's got a nice beautiful login system. It's got, you know, you know, super nice landing pages and all these different things. It's got live, you know, live courses that you got, you know, It's got payment things, it has admin stuff, we've got user management, course content management, live courses management. You know, I can come in and like, you know, add, manage reviews. I can, you know, I could do all kinds of stuff. I can look up test results of, you know, people and look at the certificates of what they got on their certification tests, download PDF, like building all of these features, everything that it took to build all this, let alone all of the curriculum. That is needed to build, you know, to build into here, right? To say, okay, hey, you know, all these modules, 4 lessons each module, course test, all this stuff, it gets— it's a lot. It would have taken $3.2 million to build all of this and it would have taken 18 months. Okay. That's what it would have taken. I've done some really good analysis on it and I really believe that I built it in a weekend for $400. Like, that's crazy, right? Do the, do the math on that. $400 minus— or sorry, divided by $3.2 million, right? And let's put a little of this here and we'll go minus 1. Okay. So that means I reduced it by 99.9875%. That's the type of improvement we've already achieved in entrepreneurship for software. For a software, you know, obviously there's a lot of other things in, in, in, um, you know, entrepreneurship besides just the software piece. You got to still be able to sell it, market and whatever, and turn it into money and all those things. But like I said, I had to spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions, before I could get to a point where I was even making money, let alone being cash flow positive. I was cash flow positive in 5 days, right? And, and now I'm like, I can support my family very comfortably with this business that I built in a weekend. And I've had to do a lot more. And I, you know, I am a go-getter, and I'm a salesman, and I know how to get out there and make it happen. I do have the experience of having run a startup. I have a few advantages for sure, but nothing that any of you guys can't do as well, right? You just have to go for it, right? So It's crazy. I want to hear other thoughts though about this. When you have this kind of reduction of cost by several orders of magnitude, what does that do to society? What does that do to— Pablo kind of went way ahead, but what does it do even in the next couple of years here? How many people are going to lose their jobs? It's already happening. Plenty of people are losing their jobs now, but What do you guys think?
I think, I don't know, I think like societies and like what they focus on change, and I think it's going to be more focused on like, like staying healthy, physical health, mental health, spiritual health, and like staying busy. Because like if people, you know, like if we have robots, AI doing most of the things that humans do, they're just going to be a lot of humans sitting around getting depressed, getting fat and lazy.
So I think, are they going to get fat if they can't eat because they have no money? That's the problem. What are they going to do?
What is a human going to do? So have you heard the Replit guy in his interview on the Diary of a CEO?
Did you hear what he said? I'm sure I did, but remind us, please. Okay.
I don't want to put words in his mouth.
I know you're going to be meeting with him later today.
But, and I have to go back to, so I don't want to slander him publicly. But when I listened to it, my impression was, oh, dang, that's kind of a supervillain response. He said something to the effect of like, yeah, there are going to be millions of people without jobs that are not going to be able to eat. He's like, well, that's just what it is, something to that effect. And the The term that I've been hearing online is something like, well, there are going to be a lot of useless eaters. It's not a pretty picture. And that's why I think Zion is the solution. And I don't want to put words in his mouth. I'm not saying that the Replit guy specifically said useless eaters. I don't remember word for word what he said, but I remember the impression that I got listening to it was, oh dang, that's not a comforting response. When he was asked the same question of what's going to happen to all these people without jobs. It's not a pretty picture. That's why I think it's kind of really important that people learn how to build these things now. And I apologize again. I do not mean to publicly slander. I'm excited to use Replit. I think that what he's done is really cool. But his response is something that I have to go back and check.
And I can send you an email with— It's tough. It's tough, right? Like, who has the answer? What is the right answer? I don't have it. But, but let me tell you what, guys, I'm a CEO and my job is, is not to go be charitable and just give money away. Like, yes, I am a charitable person. I will do that, but I can't do it for everyone. I can't even if I am really wealthy, I can still only take care of a few blocks of people, you know, maybe at best.
And what's, what's even better than just giving out the money for free is doing what you're doing right now, Jon.
Teaching other people. I'm trying to. Yeah, I'm doing what I can now. Right. But, but the thing that's really tough is, you know, the projection is by 2030, we've lost 500 million jobs globally, or at least they've changed right now. I do have pretty solid faith in humanity, right? Humanity's ability to, to adjust. Right. If you look, if you looked back, you know, 150 years ago, It was something like 98% of people were farmers, right? Did at least some level, like they had their crops and their gardens and things. Like they were self-sufficient pretty much. Today it's less than 2%. Okay? And so, if you were to tell somebody 150 years ago, hey, in 150 years, only 2% of people will be gardening and/or farming, right? People would be like, what? How? What are they going to do? How are they going to eat? How are they going to live? Like, obviously society changes. And so, you know, AI can also— on the flip side, you know, we can cure cancer, we can get to Mars, we can solve cold fusion, we can, you know, we can have our phone batteries last for longer than 24 hours, whatever. We can solve society's problems much, much, much faster. And so what will solving those problems then open up for, for everybody else? So it's not all doom and gloom.
Um, I read it, and I apologize for coming across that way.
I totally agree.
No, no, you're good. There's, there's an infinite number of good things that can come out of this.
And I'm on board for that. No, and I want to, but I think it's super important when you're looking at anything to be able to say, okay, what are the risks? And what happens if society does break down? Am I prepared for that? That's part of being prepared, guys, is you understand what are the potential outcomes here? And then am I prepared for those different outcomes? Am I diversified? Am I set up for different whatever? But yeah, it's crazy. What happens if AI takes over all the jobs, right? And you know how many jobs in Utah alone are at tech companies? Like, that, that AI— once ASI really is there and Replit doesn't need me to guide it anymore, right? Because I'm going to teach you guys in a second here, I'm going to start sharing my screen again. We're going to show, okay, how do we now make this really work and how do we adjust it, how do we get deeper and whatever. Once, once the robot can do it on its own, and as Eric Schmidt said, recursive self-improvement. It can even improve itself, right? The AI itself. And then it gets better and spirals upward out of control, right? Where it's so smart and getting smarter, we don't even know what it's doing. We're not even smart enough to comprehend what it's doing. I mean, that— we can hit that in 5 years, guys. That's nuts. That's absolutely nuts. Um, so things to be aware of.
Um, Tyson, any thoughts from your end? And I think it's— at this point, you can say doom and gloom, but I think it's a reality to some extent, right? I think it's how do we pivot and shift and, and use what we know now, or what we're going to learn over the next several years as it continues to evolve, and how much we're going to put into it, you know, from, from our 4 chairs specifically. And then the world as a whole, right? It's, it's bound to happen, right? We thought it was crazy when McDonald's got a kiosk, you know, like, oh, that's insane to replace the job. Well, we're talking high-level jobs that are, that are gonna be vetted out, right? Just weeded out. Boom. No, sorry, we don't, we don't need you to represent me as an attorney now. I'm just gonna do this all online now, right? I'm not spending $400 an hour for that. I'll figure it out. Right. And so these are, these aren't just your lower levels. These are, this is going up the chain for sure. It's all the way up to the top. Yeah. But, but to your point, right, as a business owner, everyone's trying to find a way to be more profitable as a business owner. Right. And I know in our organization it's how can we utilize this to, you know, alleviate eliminate some of those jobs, whatever that may look like, and how can we, you know, be faster, be more responsive, provide better service. And, and if you're going to eliminate some human error, which we all have, um, there can be some improvements to that. You know, I think we all have our own frustrations of representative, representative, just freaking get me to somebody, you know, just zero. Voice, but I think it's going to continue to evolve just to get so much smarter where they'll just— I don't know, for sure it will. But I think it's not necessarily something to be afraid of because I agree with you, Jon, we all adapt, we figure it out, we find new ways to use it. But I think it's really important to be educated in the process. And I Pablo, obviously, I know Jon's sitting up at the top, and Pablo, you seem to be well on your way in this process. And no offense, Parker, but I'm gonna— I'm gonna put me in maybe the same category. Like, we're just kind of learning this.
We just gotta figure it out. I'm right in your same boat. Jon's in a separate category.
We're here to learn from Jon. Yeah, honestly, honestly, you guys are doing great. The fact that— the fact that you're here is awesome, right? Um, I, I usually talk about this a little bit more on tomorrow, but I'll just say it briefly now. All money in this world, almost all money in this world is made because of a knowledge gap, right? You pay your lawyer because he knows the law better, right? There's also some licensing, you know, whatever, but ignore that piece, right? I do most of my own legal work now, right, with AI because I trust it. I know how to work it. I know how to get the right answers and I double-check it or I'll triple check it with other AIs. Like, I really am safe with it. And I still do have a lawyer, but I'll pay him to, like, review a final document instead of drafting it from scratch, you know? And so I'll have a $400 bill instead of a $40,000 bill or a $12,000 bill, right? Like, I can afford it now. I can do so much more because I can just have AI get on the initial tasks. Like, I'm not having my lawyer draft up a terms of service anymore. No way, man. Hey, AI, um, add terms of service to this page, right? Like, like literally on, on GenAI API, right? You go down here— we'll just sign out here so I can see those pages. Um, you go down to the bottom here in my footer and you've got my, you know, my terms of service page. It was like a little fly in here. And yeah, I, I wrote this on March 4th when I launched this thing, and I didn't even want— I didn't even have it until a week after I launched. It was like, oh, I should We have terms of service, right? And it's awesome. Like, it's totally fine. And I had it review. I set up an email and, you know, all this stuff and, you know, my privacy policy. And I'm not going to have a lawyer do that anymore, right? I had it set up cookie settings, right? So that they're all— I'm GDPR compliant. I'm all these different things that, you know, used to take, you know, paying other people that knew how to do all this stuff. Those businesses are just gone. Like, maybe you're a GDPR compliance company. Money, and your job was to look at terms of service and look at things and make sure you're doing things in the right way so that, you know, you're good in the EU. And they're gone. You don't have to do that anymore. If you know how to use AI properly, you can just take care of it for you. So we're in it. We're in a new world, guys. It's a fun spot. But because you guys have this knowledge gap, this is where you're going to make money right now. Whatever industry you're in, you're ahead. Okay. All right. So So, um, I bet most of your websites are done now. We don't need to look at them right now. What I want to do now is really take some time to, to just kind of show you how to use Replit and how to get comfortable in here. So the first thing that I want you to do is, um, is I want you to just kind of, um, get familiar with some of the surroundings. And so I'm just going to click on a few buttons here. One of them is your files. I showed the files earlier, right? You've got all these different files. Code, guys, is just a bunch of text, right? I mean, all of this stuff, everything you see on the front end is, is described in code. And so you can actually take this and you could hand it to a developer. You can actually export it, right? You just come over here to Git, right? Git is like GitHub. Anybody heard of GitHub before? All right. GitHub is a repository that can allow you to just have a, you know, a place where you store your code or you have different versions of your code, things like that., and you can literally just push it, you know, you push, push the all this code, this repository up to there to GitHub, and then you can hire a developer wherever you want and have them just get to work starting from where you, where you, you know, left off, right? And so it's very easy actually to move out of Replit. Replit is the builder and, you know, it's really, really capable. Okay, so that's one thing. Knowing about your files is good. We're going to use the attached assets in a second here, so standby on that one. Another thing is you've got, so let's close out these things. You have your database. Okay. So the database needs to be up and running. If you guys click on your little plus button on the little tab here and you click on database and it says, have Replit set up a database for you, right? Then you haven't done something that you're going to need to do, right? The database again provides persistence. If you have, if you have the need to log in, you need a database. Okay. Straight up. The database is going to be where Your usernames are stored and, you know, here, let's look at, let's look at this database actually on here. I've got friendships, so it's going to, you know, looks like I'm gonna be able to add friends, I guess. I didn't even ask it to do that, but it built it. Users, Pillars, Activities, Sessions, Subskills, Guide Messages, XP Decay. There's probably going to be more that has to be built here. But, but if you look at my users, right, my users table, I have no entries yet, but as soon as I do, I'll have ID 1, right? Be my email address, my first name, my last name.. I'll have a profile image, created at, updated at, what's my current level, what's my total XP, what's my current streak on, you know, whatever. There's probably going to be multiple streaks, and so it's probably going to have to build out more, more things like that. What's my last activity date? Who's my selected guide? I'm setting up 4 different AI voice guides that will help me walk through everything. Is the onboarding completed, yes or no, right? So if that says no, or that's completed yet, then when I log in, it's going to be a different experience. Once it says yes, then it's not going to show the onboarding anymore. Okay, so I just— I can— you can look at your database and see all of these different things that are, um, that are being displayed here, and, and it helps you kind of understand the technical architecture behind the project. Like, okay, hey, I mean, clearly there's a guide messages thing, right? So I'm going to be able to to have all of these, all of these messages between me and my guide, and then it's going to save them. Well, that's cool. That means my guide's going to get to know me over time, and it's going to look at all of my, my different things that I'm doing here, right? So anyway, your database is important. If you don't have a database, it's as simple as just saying, please set up a database, and it'll just set it up, right? The cool thing is in Replit, you don't have to go somewhere else, right?, like, if you try to go build with lovable.dev and then you ask it to build a database, it will say, all right, well, why don't you go set up a Supabase account? And, you know, Supabase is, you know, Postgres, you know, platform and all these different things. And now you're starting to get, like, for a non-developer, you're like, this is too hard for me now. Like, I don't know what this stuff is, right? And so that's why I really love Replit. Like, you could figure it out. I think you could figure out Replit and Supabase. It's not— or sorry, Lovable and Supabase. I think you guys are all smart enough to do it, but for me, I'd rather not have to. I'd rather just be here in one platform and let it take care of everything. So inside of Replit, you can have your database, you can have app storage, right? This lets you store images, video, documents, things like that, right? So you could build your own YouTube if you wanted, okay? Um, you can search for, um, you know, other integrations to be able to, to to do other really fancy things with, which we won't get into right now. We're not going to do that on this one. You have your secrets, which we'll go over later, and then you have deployments, which we'll do later as well. We're not going to do too much in here right now, but I just want you guys to know there's a lot of tools inside. Here's another one. I'll bring this one up. Security scanner. Do you have any obvious cybersecurity flaws? Are you exposing people's passwords? Is your API keys exposed? Any of those types of things. Here, instead of having to, you know, hire a developer to like test your thing and make sure there's no bugs or things, whatever, you just be like, run scan, boom, done. No vulnerabilities found. Yeah, there's none yet because I haven't built anything yet here. But having a security scanner feature inside of Replit is awesome. It's going to look for things that could potentially put your, put your app at risk. Okay, so before we go any further here, guys, I am going to open up one Overview, Software Tools, and we're going to do Coding Quick Start Guide. We're just going to go over a couple things. This is only going to take 3 or 4 minutes here, but I want you guys to just be familiar with a few words so that when we're talking to our developer, Replit, we know what we're talking about. We sound just a little bit smarter. Not that it's going to judge you, but you're going to just be more efficient if you can tell it, hey, this, fix this, or here's what I want this to do. Front end versus back end. We already talked about this a little bit. Front end is anything users interact with, okay? It's what we're seeing on the screen right here. This is front end. You're, you know, the, the, you know, all of these down here, this is all front end stuff on macOS. And then there's a lot of stuff in the back end that is behind the scenes. So a good example for both of these is a login form where users enter the email and password, right? All the buttons, all the text, everything, that's all front end. But then when you click it, it's going to to the backend via an API, right? It's got a connector and it's going to say, all right, hey, does that username and password exist? Is it in the database? If yes, great, give them a key and let them in. Here's the authentication token. If not, show them a frontend message that says, hey, wrong password, right? And so that's the frontend and the backend are talking to each other. Okay. The database is where it's— database looks like, like you just saw, but it looks It's like an Excel document, right? It's just a table, right? It's got all these things. We're only gonna talk about SQL databases. We're actually using a PostgreSQL database. You don't even need to know what that means other than the fact that it is like an Excel document. It's a table that has columns and rows and you have entries and that's it, right? That's all we need to know there. We're gonna go to APIs now. APIs are, are really just connectors. It's connecting one thing to another, one piece of software usually to another, or a database to a function or something like that. For example, let's say I'm building, and I have done this, let's say I'm building an app that allows me to check on the levels of rivers. What is the level of the Weber River or the Provo River or whatever? I want to go kayaking. Well, there's a couple of things I could do. Do. One, I could go buy a sensor and I could set it up and set up a cellular thing or whatever and, you know, have it send me a message every time the Provo River hits 400 CFS or whatever, right? And then I know, hey, it's time to go, let's get up there. Or I can just say, hey, I wonder if anyone else has done that, like the US Geological Survey, right? The USGS has sensors all over the place, and then the USGS has what's called an API that allows me to point and look and check their river levels, right? So then I could build an app that just checks the USGS Provo River, and anytime it gets above a certain thing, send an alert to me. And boom, now I've built my own river alert system based on someone else's data. So it allows me to connect to other things, right? I have a studio here. I have, you know, I have 3 pianos in this room, and it might— anyway, I've got all kinds of stuff in here, and there's all kinds of cables connecting things all all over the place, right? That's what an API is. It's just, all right, I need to go from my microphone into my mixing board, out of my mixing board into my, you know, USB audio interface, and then from there into my computer and whatever, right? And so that's what APIs are. They're just connecting. Now, APIs— basically the entire internet works off of these 4 words, okay? Everything you do are these 4 things, okay? You either get data, okay, you post data. How many of you guys have ever posted to Facebook or Instagram or Twitter or whatever, right? Yeah, we all have. That's actually a technical coding term, right? You're posting something, you're adding an entry to a database, right? You're putting a new line, John said this, and it's referenced to this, you know, it's connected to this person and it's on this post Instance, whatever. It's that table we were just looking at inside of Replit, okay? It's just creating a new entry. And then when Parker goes to, you know, he jumps on Facebook and he says, oh, hey, Jon just said this, right? He's actually getting, his system is retrieving the data and seeing my entry that I posted, okay? I can then say, hey, you know what? I probably shouldn't have said that. I'm gonna update that, or I'm gonna modify that, or hey, you know what? Maybe I'll just delete my comment, right? Everything you do, whether you're posting a picture, text, whatever it is, your GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, that's what everything happens inside of cyberspace. You also can use a little, I don't know, what do you call it? It's not an acronym. CRUD. CRUD. Anyway, CRUD right here, Create, Read, Update, Delete is another way to say this. Maybe you wanna build an admin function where you can see users, where you can create users, see users, update users, or delete users, right? You can say, hey, build me an admin system so that I can manage users with full CRUD functionality, right? If you just say CRUD functionality to Replit, it knows what that means. Okay, great. You need to be able to create it, read it, update, delete it, right? Awesome. Okay, or maybe you wanna build a blog system, or maybe you wanna build a commenting system. Hey, I need to be able, as an admin, I need full CRUD functionality, right? If I'm the one that wrote a post, I need full CRUD functionality and be able to edit it, delete it, create, read, whatever. Okay, CRUD is great. Authentication, um, Replit has its own authentication system that I hate. I like everything about Replit except their authentication system. Whenever I go in and it says like, oh, log in with Replit, you know, and it's, it's already built that, I just say replace the Replit Auth is like you're logging in, right? That's what it is. But just say, just replace it with a JSON Web Token. That's all it is. You don't need to know what that means. It's basically just like, hey, I'm going to check the database and I'm going to return something. GenAI API uses it. So does LifeNow because I asked it to do that. I said, yeah, here, let me test the new JWT authentication. Right when I got on, I clicked on Get Started. Here and it brought up the Replit authentication. I didn't like that, and so I just said replace the Replit auth with a standard JWT auth. Okay, just do that. That's just a little thing I like to do. You don't have to do it, but I recommend it, especially if you don't know what it is. Anyway, that's really all we need to do, um, for now. We're going to jump into Replit here. We'll spend a little bit just kind of doing this. Now, when I'm coming into a, uh, a new a new project, okay, I'm going to do a lot of things. I'm going to be looking back and forth. Well, that is weird. That is not what you want your login page to look like on mobile. That's not great. So yeah, you got to check the different sizes. Um, yeah, that's crazy. I don't know what the heck they're thinking there. So anyway, we're going to go back to here, um, to the root. Um, but what you want to do, guys, is you wanted that— you want to basically be your own customer, right? And so you just, you just land on the site and you say, okay, well, I'm here, I'm going to start my journey. What happens if I click that? Okay, cool. Well, let's, let's register. Let's see if this works. Okay, so I'll, I'll do this. My username is always Genie Piano.
We'll do my Gmail account here.
And are you a, are you a pianist? I am, yeah. Uh, create account. Hey, it worked! That's cool. All right, we're going to save my password. Now I get to choose my life guide. This is the onboarding that it's taking me through. All right, I want to be— I want to be Challenger, right? Comfort zones are where dreams go to die. All right, continue setup. Amazing. Here's my 4 pillars. All right, so I can, you know, spiritual— I'm, I'm pretty good, but I definitely need some Work, social, we're going to give myself a 4. Intellectual, we'll go 7. And physical, right now we'll go 6. And then some subskills. I don't know, I like, I like prayer and I'm terrible at journaling. See, and I can change something like it says reading philosophy right now. I'm going to change that to like reading scriptures, maybe philosophy. I'll add more, right? There'll be other things I can add, I'm sure. But it says select at least 2. All right. Journaling. Let's see if I can do that. If I'm counting journaling, then we're going to go there. I'm going to take myself down. Um, sub-skills, I'm pretty good at this, and I'm actually pretty good at public speaking. Okay, so I've now encountered the first thing. By the way, normally I don't go this far without something breaking. It often breaks first, but I just found the first break in my mind. When I click this, I can't see it. I don't like that. Right? And so I'm going to need to update that, right? So I'm going to say, um, when I selected this button, it became unreadable.
Okay.
Did you have to select the button and it just knows which button it is? Or down here, down here, I clicked this little visual editor thing, so I can just click this and then I can just put my mouse over it and I can, I can select anything I want, like this little thing or whatever. I can select any piece so that I, so it knows exactly what I'm talking about. And so I'm just going to say when I select this button, it became unreadable.
Please fix that. Okay.
And you could also point out that the yellow on the other spiritual pillar highlighted it in yellow. I could, I could say if I wanted that, right? So let's see what it does over here. Yeah, same thing. And same thing, right? So yeah, kind of weird, right? I actually do love those things. I wasn't actually looking and I'm like, I'm not a programmer, but I do like problem solving and I do like language learning. Okay, so now I'm going to complete the setup. Now it's working. I'm going to try to complete the setup before it sends me on. Yeah, I don't know why it did it so well here and then just looked bad here.
Okay.
Hey, it just fixed it right now. Now when I click that, it actually looks a little bit better. But what I'm going to do is I'm going to go even a step farther. You, you fixed it some. But I want you to model it after the spiritual pillar, where when I selected it, or when I selected the subskill, I'm going to be, I want to be specific so it knows what I'm talking about. It highlighted the button the same color as the card. It's calling that the card title, I think. Yeah, the card title color. Make that the same on social pillar, intellectual, intellectual, and it's All right. So let's see if it makes that change, if it understands what I said. The colors are pretty, are pretty neat here. It's kind of like this black and white and gray with the accent colors. Like it's, it feels pretty nice. So yeah, if it understands properly, it should be able to change that to a nice blue and then a purple and then a red here. So I'm just going to kind of sit here. See, it's saying, it's saying that it did it. Um, I want to refresh it. See, this is part of the problem with an onboarding is you actually have to— so I'll go back like this and then I'll say, okay, I want to do Vera again, continue setup. Um, I'm just going to click refresh. It's probably going to take me back to the beginning somewhere. Okay, awesome. That's really nice that it kept me there. Okay, so if I click there— yeah, it didn't, it didn't do that. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to do something else. Okay. So I want to— I'm going to screenshot it. So on, on Mac, it's Shift Command 4. And so I'm going to say, see how when I selected journaling, it is nicely highlighted in yellow on Or under the social pillar one, I selected networking, but I can't read it. It should be a blue color like social pillar is. That pattern should apply. To all cards. Okay, so we'll let it, we'll let it think through this one for a second. But this is kind of how you're going to work through it, guys. You're just going to be like, now I'm being kind of picky here. I could have just left it and said, okay, I can read it, it's wide, it's good. But, but now it kind of reverted. It went back to before how it wasn't great. I want to be able to, yeah, I'm actually pretty good at social when it comes to like businesses. I'm just not great at like hanging out with friends. I just don't do it. Like, I just am always working. I don't hang out with my family lots, but just not great there. Anyway, um, okay, correctly in CSS, but the Tailwind opacity variations and border opacity variations aren't defined. Oh, got it. So there's some opacity element that's like overriding it. Perfect. I've added it. Okay, so Well, let's— it says it added it, but it clearly did not. He didn't actually fix it. So sometimes when you run into a loop, you'll run into a loop sometimes where like it's where it says I did it and you're like, no, you didn't. And you're like, do it again. And then it just— you get stuck in this loop, right? Right. And so sometimes to get it out of that, you have to, um, yeah, it's, yeah, there we go. There we go. There we go. So now, now we got it. You just have to keep working it. Right. See, that's already way better. It's a small thing, but now all of a sudden I'm feeling, I'm feeling pretty good. So let's just go here. I'm not going to pay super close attention to this stuff. I don't want to read nonfiction though. We won't say that. We'll go here and we'll go here. And why can I not click complete setup? I was able to click complete setup before. It's possible that it thinks I already finished this. So, oh wait, hold on. That's weird. That's okay. So I'm just gonna say, all right, I've filled everything out for onboarding, but I can't click the complete setup button. Okay, so what— the way I like to think of this, guys, is you're just kind of— you're digging in a, in a mineshaft, and you're like, you dig this far and then you hit a wall, and you're like, okay, well, I got to fix some stuff. And then I dig a little farther until all of a sudden I get all the way and I've been able to start start from the beginning and get all the way to the end. I've found the gold in that mine shaft. Okay, um, oh, there we go. That's the problem. Prayer complete setup. Okay, perfect. Now I'm able to click it. I didn't have two selected there. That was my own fault. But it should maybe say like, hey, you need to do that, because I was lost there. Even though I knew what it was, I was a little bit lost. All right, so now I'm into my dashboard. This is crazy, man. Like, it's Well, this is a really, really good version. Like, I'm really impressed. Yeah, your app looks amazing. Yeah, it's amazing. I'm on level 1 here, whatever dashboard. Okay, so I clicked on dashboard. See if this actually loads, right? It did. If I click on activity, I don't know why it's like going to that white.
It shouldn't go to that white.
Can you control stuff like that? Oh, yeah. Yeah, when I click between dashboard and activity, it goes to a white screen for a moment. This is a bad user experience. Fix it. Okay. So yeah, again, it's like I'm talking to a developer that's sitting right here. I'm giving it feedback as I click on the different things and say, okay, by the way, I'm clicking on friends, it's not doing anything. I'm clicking on progress, it's not doing anything. That just means it's not built yet, right? By the way, I don't even know if I want friends. I didn't actually ask it to build that feature, and so I might be like, hey, just remove friends for now, we'll add that back in later. Um, anyway, there might be, there might be some good things to— friends might be actually a good idea. It might be a good idea to help like motivate me and see progress and stuff like that.
So anyway, you think friends you got to keep?
Yes, people love following people Yeah, I know they do. I know they do. It just adds some complexity.
What's that?
It just adds complexity to the build. For sure. Whatever. So guys, other things. So while it's working on that, right, trying to figure out why we're getting a whitespace there, I can, I can keep clicking on other things, right? And I just want to go around and— so yeah, failed to create activity, right? I clicked on something here, I can't create a quick log. This does not mean that it's broken, okay? It means that it hasn't been built yet. That's all it means. Okay, now it is, it is technically, yes, it is broken, right? That also, it also means that, I guess, right? Now I can do a detailed log here. Let's say I'm going to do spiritual. I did a prayer and, you know, activity name, prayed this morning. I see, I think this is, you know, duration, I don't know, 4 minutes. Notes, how did it go? It was awesome. And I, I'm just going to test this stuff. I don't know if I actually like this this flow yet. Like, I want it to be a lot easier to log a prayer. Like, did I pray this morning? Yes. There should be one button, like click, right? So I need to do that. So I don't know if I want to be able to— or have to log, but I'm just going to test it out. I'm just going to see if it works. Okay, failed to create activity, so something's not connected there. Totally fine. Okay, um, now it says it's done here, so I should be able to click on activity. Now it's going to white. It's like Hold on, you know what, let's try this. Let's actually try this. I wanna— I wanna see if it's just you forget to add the page to the router. No. Interesting. Um, why is it not keeping me logged in? I actually know the answer to that now. I think it's a session problem. Activity. Yeah, it's going white. Yeah, it's like it's having to reload the whole app when I click between dashboard and activity. Is this not a React app that maintains The states. Um, don't write any code, just tell me. Okay, that is one of my biggest tricks right there, guys. When I'm— so I know a couple things, you know, just because I've been doing this for a while. So like, I know this is a React app and it's supposed to do a couple things like that, right? But sometimes when I'm going through a problem and I can't, you know, it's not working right, I'll say, hey, don't write any code, just tell me. I just want you to talk to me for second. Okay, I don't want you to just go do stuff. I want you to talk, right? Okay, you're absolutely right to be concerned. Um, this is indeed a React app. It's not behaving like a proper single-page application should. Here's what's happening. The problem: navigation using regular HTML tags instead of React Router links. Okay, good. What's actually happening? Those API calls you see in the log shouldn't be happening on every navigation in the app, or if the app was properly maintained and state. Okay, okay. So then, so now it's, it's explained to me. Now I'm starting to learn too, right? Now I understand what it's trying to do here. Then I can say, what is your plan to fix this? Don't write any code, just tell me. Okay, it— Replit is programmed to bias towards action, right? It wants to do stuff for you. So if you ask it something, it'll just be like, oh, he probably wants me to do this, and then it'll go. But when you actually say, hey, I need you to stop, I need you to explain what's happening, and I need you to now tell me your plan for how you're going to fix this, so now I can read it, right? Here's my plan. I'm going to replace this, I'm going to fix the authentication handling, I'm going to optimize this, I'm going to remove redundant loading states, expected result— or result, I mean— clicking between dashboard and activity will be instant No more API calls on every navigation. Data served from cache. That's cool. Authentication state stays in memory. Awesome. Do the plan. Sounds good to me. That's the desired result. That's what I'm going to do. So now I'm just going to say go do the plan. And remember, guys, I'm not a developer. My, my prompts are do the plan. Explain to me what your plan is. Why does this matter? Right? I'm not doing anything fancy here. I know you might be reading and be like, I don't understand what those things are. It doesn't matter, right? If you don't understand, be like, explain it to me like I'm a 5-year-old, right? We can all channel our Michael Scott, right? Just ask the question, right? Just be like, I don't know what you mean here. Don't write any code. Just tell me if you want to have that conversation. Keep saying that thing and you'll learn. You'll start to understand like, okay, why does this act like this? Okay, why should I not do that? You can also ask one thing that I didn't do, which I often will do, especially when we're doing something a little bit more complex, is I'll say, okay, this is a good plan, but is this the most efficient way to do this? Is this the best practice? Is there anything we can do better? Oh, you're right. I should actually, you know, do this and it'll be a little bit better if we tweak it just 10% here. Great. Okay, now do that plan, right? So just the more you talk and prompt and ask it, because sometimes you'll just be— you'll be building this crazy complex thing and you're like, this just feels hard. Like, I'm tired just trying to figure out how this works, and I'm, I'm the CEO, right? Like, it should be easy. Okay, make it easy. All right, so we'll let it— we'll let it work for a second here. Um, step 1. Yeah, I don't think it's— oh hey, it has fixed it yet! Look at that. Now I can go between dashboard and activity. See that instant clicking? So that is a better user experience. It took me 3 prompts to figure it out. Or maybe, you know, I asked it once, it didn't do it right. I asked, all right, and then I was like, okay, tell me what's going on here. And then it figured it out. Now it's just restarting the application. There were a couple errors that it fixed and now we're already progressing. So guys, this is, this is why it takes 35 hours, right? It takes some time, right? You just kind of have to do it. One cool thing, Replit has a mobile app, so you can be sitting there like whatever, just like, hey, work on this thing. Okay, great. I will warn you that even though it has a mobile app, it's not great. Like if you just started on something and then you like leave and come back and you know, your phone's refreshed or you go to another app and come back, it will keep working when you leave the app, but then you have to like refresh it and kind of get back to a state. It's kind of weird. I'm not a huge fan of the mobile app. App. But if you're actively watching it and you don't let it close and go to another app, then it actually is really, really good. But when you start like multitasking, it just feels a little weird. I like, I like using the desktop just a little bit better. Okay, so I'm just going to keep going through. Now my app is quite complex, guys. It has tons of calculations. It has, you know, I'm trying to help people be able to onboard and say, hey, you know what, you're already a level 90 pianist, right? I've put in 35,000 hours on the piano in my life, right? And so, I'm an expert according to the 10,000-hour rule, 3.5 times over. So, I want to be able to onboard people and say, hey, you're already there, right? And it hasn't done that. All it's done is this kind of high-level spiritual, social, intellectual, physical. So, part of the problem here is it's trying now to build without the amazing guides that I gave it, right? We gave it those amazing guides in the beginning. Right? We had our first prompt that was, hey, this is what I'm doing, here are these 3 business plans. But now it's forgotten everything, right? So we need to remind it. So what we're going to do is this: when you attach those things in the beginning, they showed up in this attached assets spot here, these pasted feature lists and things like that, right? So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to use a prompt from my Mastering Replit guide here. Okay. And I'll explain to you guys what this is. I will also put the prompt— actually, you know what, I'm going to adjust it and then I'll paste it in there for you. But here it is. Says please use the attached business plan in the attached assets folder. Right. And the attached feature list in the same folder. Create a README.md file with the business plan and create a progress.md file. These are markdown files, right, with the feature list. Don't write any code, just create these documents. On the feature list, create a checkbox system that shows us what we have completed and what we still need to create. Please examine the app and make sure the progress.md file is up to date and add any items that might be missing from the list that we've created. Also add references to these files and their purposes to the replit.md file. Okay, so I'm going to explain what all this means. We're going to change one more thing too. Also add a, uh, or yeah, an important_details.md file with the important details file from the same folder. Okay, so now it's going to— so now we have 3 things here. I'm going to copy this. I'm going to give it to you guys. This, guys, is where we start to get into the really advanced usage of Replit, right? This is the type of stuff where Replit is literally interviewing me and then applying the things that I'm doing to this. Like, this replit.md file did not used to exist, but I taught it how to do this stuff. I taught their team and they added this feature. Okay, so we're going to click go on this. So what this is going to do, guys, is going to take all you guys, you can copy this right now and send it in your, you want to do it in your project right now. You want it to get to where it has this document that's guiding it. Right now it has this replit.md file. Overview, Life is a gamified personal growth application that does this stuff. System architecture. Backend architecture, data architecture, gaming mechanics, AI guide system, external dependencies. So it's built this thing, this, this pretty good guide, right? And but we're going to make it even— it doesn't have all of the details, right? It doesn't have the, for example, where's the monetization stuff in here? It's not here, it's gone, right? So for whatever reason, the Replit prompt didn't feel like it important enough to put that in there. I'll talk to Amjad today about that when I'm on with him. But in order— what you're doing here, guys, is we're creating what I like to call like bumper lanes, right? When you're bowling, you want to stay out of the gutter. When you're in Replit, you also want to make sure that it doesn't veer off and just go some crazy direction. So, we do that by giving it these bumper lanes. You've got your business plan. Your feature list, your other important details. And then when you're talking to it, you can say, hey, I need you to redesign, you know, this system here that accounts for the fact that many people already have skills. And so I need them to be able to onboard those skills, you know, already there. How can we adjust this? Tell me your plan. Don't write any code. Just tell me. Right. And then it will review the document. It will then give me a plan and I'll say, "Okay, that's really good. Do the plan." So, now, it's referencing all of the stuff you've created and talked about and figured out and thought through before it goes and does this. But this is a very, very critical— by the end of day 1, guys, my goal is always to say, "Okay, we've gone through strategy. We did our game thing in the beginning. We've talked about Eric Schmidt." all this stuff and talked about what AI means, all this thing, and, and context, all the stuff we did, ChatGPT and strategies and projects, all that stuff. But then I want you to have your Replit project started, and I want you to make sure you have your database up. You know, I want you to have said, hey, build a database. I think that's really important. And I also want you to have your README file, right, and your progress file and your Replit file, and in this case, our important details. Details file, right? These are MD files that are going to look really, really nice once they're done. I'll show you what it looks like as soon as, as soon as it finishes doing this. It's writing the code right now, and now it's thinking hard to determine next steps. This is not supposed to be that difficult. Okay, so the README file is done now. Now I can click on it, and now it's just my improved business plan. It looks awesome. It's beautiful. Vision, mission, problem statement, market analysis. You know, it built— it rebuilt all of this stuff super nicely. Okay, brand identity, XP system, all these different things. And so now I can say, okay, are we following the brand identity? Are we following, you know, the vision and mission, right? What is, what is going on here? Okay, another thing that I'm going to check, guys, while it's building those things, I'm going to click log out. That's always something that you got to check. Hey, it didn't actually log me out. It still says welcome back, Adventure, right? It should have logged me out and it did not. I can't get back to the beginning. Okay, log out, log out. So the logout feature doesn't work. It's saying see you next time, but it's keeping me in, in the internal spot. So that means it's just kind of a fake logout feature. Okay, so that's probably the next thing I'm going to say here. So now that it's done that that, that's great. So, um, all finished. Now I can also click on this progress file. I asked it to make this progress one. Hey, onboarding, right? It finished all of that stuff. Subskill selection, past experience, immediate dashboard. I think that's cool. I think it's good. We're going to need to do better still. The dashboard is kind of completed. The activity logging kind of completed. Lots of stuff that still need to be done. Life coach, social features, gamification, notification settings, Lots of backend features that are needed. Like, for example, we don't have an email system. What if I forget my password? We're going to need an email system to be able to send a password email, a reset password email. Okay.
Or maybe a text, a reset password text.
Okay.
On those things there that need to be completed, those things you just keep building out with. Yes. Now, now what we have is a snapshot of where we are. And so now I'll be like, okay, let's work on this thing next. Let's work on the decay calculation and automated weekly XP reduction or whatever, right? Like, let's work on that system now. And so I'll just say, okay, now we're going to work on this. And, you know, please refer to the documentation, read, you know, refer to the README file, refer to the progress, whatever. Here's my important details file as well, right? Let's just start working through this stuff. But now the agent actually has access to it. He doesn't really have access to— the system doesn't really have access to the attached assets folder in the same way. But when you drop these markdown files into the core file here, into the root, then you can be like, okay, just access this document. Let's look at it. Let's work through it. Okay. I clicked logout and it didn't actually log me out even though the toast message said it did. Okay. The toast message, guys, is this little thing. That thing logged out, see you next time. That's called a toast message. Anyway, you can just say a little banner came out, whatever, right? And then it will say, oh yeah, that's the toast message. It will teach you that stuff. Um, fixes. Okay, so it has to build all of these different functionalities. Like, I haven't built the profile yet. The profile, I probably would, would, would, would be right here. We've also got this like floating sun here. I think this is supposed to be the life coach. My little orb that hasn't been built properly yet. And so I don't love this page. I don't love a lot of this stuff, right? And I don't want to— I don't love a lot of the things that I need to build to make this actually work in the way that, that I want it to work. There's no APIs. I gotta, I gotta figure out all kinds of things. I gotta be able to log activities in a much easier way. I have probably 50 hours of work left on this to get it, you know, to really be ready. Ready to, to put out somewhere. And then I gotta work on, you know, then I gotta make sure it's working on mobile and I gotta, you know, optimize different things. I like to kind of— I'll check mobile occasionally, but for the most part I like to just kind of hang out, um, in the desktop view and then go back and fix formatting later. So because formatting is easy, I'll just be like, oh yeah, on mobile this page looks weird, fix the spacing, and it'll just realign it really easily. Okay, so let's click log out. Let's see if that works. Yeah, let's just refresh this. Yeah, so it didn't actually refresh. So now I am logged out again. That's great. Um, we could try that again. Yeah, get started and log in. Log me in and then— okay, then log out. Level up your life. Yeah, so now it's working again. Now, now the logout is working. It's resetting that session. Now if I come down here and I'm like, okay, I want to click on community. Hey, that's not working yet, right? So I could give it a chat and just say, hey, make all links in the footer work, build any pages that don't exist. Boom. Come back 15 minutes later and all these different pages are built, right? And maybe you don't want the help center. So maybe you say, hey, delete help center, delete this. You can also just click the edit button and say, hey, you know, delete this. Whoops. Delete this, right? I don't want a help center thing. I do want privacy policy. I probably should keep the help center, but whatever. Connect Twitter, Instagram, Discord, whatever I'm going to have on there. Okay. I can adjust the text right here. Um, I actually can just type right here. 2025, right? That's nice. Yep. So I can change some things like that. Um, that's— now unfortunately what you have to do— hold on, what did I break? I think it broke the footer when it removed that help center. No, it didn't. I was just trying to edit it while it was in the middle of doing something. All right, so when I go to change something like this, guys, this. I know it's kind of weird, but as soon as I do that, I then have to come over here and I have to click go, or yeah, change, change this, right? You have to just tell it to do something because I, I edited the text. Yeah, just change it to, just change it to 2025. Um, I should be able to click that I don't know why that's not working. I think that's a, I think that's a bug that they need to fix. I should be able to save that, that change of state, but that's okay. No big deal. Easy for it to do it. Um, done. I've updated the copyright here. Have you? Have you though? Let's refresh it. Yeah, it did. Cool. Made with love. All right, cool. So guys, um, we've got just a few minutes left here. A lot of people come back the next day and they're like, yeah, I was up till midnight working on my project. If you, if you are, that's great. I'm going to give you guys a couple resources right now that might be useful. One is a Facebook group that you all can jump in now. It is Build a Business with AI, and we'll just copy this. You guys are in the club now. It's only about 100 people in here, 93 right now, um, with you 3, that'll take it to 96. Um, and you don't have to join it, right? This is optional, right? But in here, guys, there's a lot of really, really smart— like this person, Kara, super awesome, right? She's like, hey, I'm having some problems with this, I don't know how to do this, right? I'm doing this, I go into here and I can't fix it. And then, you know, other people that have link in the course or like, here, go here, do this, click on this. Anyway, so really good place to just get some help whether you're building with Replit or many other things. It's not just all about Replit. We're gonna— tomorrow, guys, we'll use probably like— or you'll— you won't maybe use all of them, but you'll see me use like 10 platforms, right? I'm going to introduce you to a bunch of other things. Um, today is a lot of Replit, and then because I like Replit as like my— it's the thing that's building the stuff that I, that I create, right? I'm going to use, you know, Midjourney or other thing or ChatGPT to create images. I'm going to use Runway or Veo 3 to create video. I'm going to use Canva to create marketing stuff. And I'm going to use this and other things. I'm going to use ChatGPT to write content, or I might use something else to write content. And I'm going to pull it all into Replit and then Replit turns it into my, my product, my website, my software, my guide, my whatever it is, my blog. Okay. So if you guys request those, I'll just approve you as Parker. And anyway, so lots of fun, lots of fun in there to be had. Let's see what else needs to— any questions before I go any, any more here?
Just, we have a few minutes. Go ahead, Pablo. So do you have a list of all the subscriptions that you use and what that you use them for?
I do. Inside this folder that, that you'll get. I usually give it the next day or after, after day 1, but I will drop this right here in the chat. You can, you can just copy this if you want. I will send this in an email tomorrow after the course is over. But right here there's a software and tools, software and tools right here. ChatGPT, Grok, Replit, Stripe, GoDaddy. Midjourney, DesignFever, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, Runway, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn, SendGrid, lots of different things. And there's, there's going to be a bunch more actually. Um, do I have Manus on here? I don't think I have Manus on here. I probably need to update this a little bit. There's a couple other new ones that I'm using a little bit more as we go, as we go through some of these things. But there's, yeah, there is that list there, and, and there'll be a couple others that pop up. Yeah, I just give you guys— thank you. That's great. Hopefully that, hopefully that helps. Other questions? How are you feeling, Tyson? You feeling like you can keep going with Replit?
And yeah, I mean, I've been kind of playing with it as on the backend as you're doing stuff, just kind of playing with my webpage, making little adjustments and doing different things.
Obviously, there's I mean, tip of the iceberg right now, for sure. It's just something like people ask me, you know, how do you get really good at kayaking, you know? And, and the answer is, like most things, you know, time in boat, right? You just have to get— you got to feel what the river feels like, right? You got to mess up, you got to flip over, and you got to run into a rock, and you got to do different things, and you learn by doing, right?
Um, Parker, how about you? How are you feeling? Yeah, I mean, it's obviously You know, going quick, trying to keep up, but I'm sure I can figure it out.
Awesome. Yeah. No, I think you're gonna do fine. Um, did you get, do you have like your first version up and you're starting to edit it and play with it and talk?
Yep.
Yep. Yeah. Got the, it's up and going, clicking buttons, messing around, kind of fixing things that I kind of want changed and trying to, trying to customize it a little bit more.
So I love it.
Yeah.
And guys, be creative. Like, some of the things that you can do, like, for example, Pablo, you said earlier, like, yeah, it's kind of a simple website. You could say, hey, I want you to upgrade the visual feel of my entire website. I want it to feel more like apple.com, or whatever you want to say, right? You can tell it, like, to reference other websites, other pages, other things. You can say, how can we make the, you know, the message stronger, right? How can we get people to take action right away? How can we get people to make sure they're landing here and spending money fast? What can we do to make it better, etc., etc.? Right. But that's helpful. You really push, push the limits, right? Like, again, I want to just say this again. I've said it a few times, but so many people get caught in like, I don't know how to use this tool, right? It's just your developer buddy and he's sitting there in the chair next to you. Talk to them. If you're going to tell your, hey, you know what, I don't like the design that much. Like, could we make it feel a little bit more like apple.com? And you could say that to your developer and your developer would be like, okay, great. And your developer would go over to apple.com. It would look at it and be like, oh, they use these rounded edges and they use this and use some of these features to make it animate a little bit.
It's all it, that's all it takes.
Um, that's awesome. I'm definitely going to do that. Yeah. Yeah. Just, just. Think, think outside the box there. One of the things I did, guys, and I want to share this with you, Parker, to finish up. I think it's, I think it's pretty cool since you're wanting to build more AI stuff, right? You want to go sell, you know, and help, help businesses learn how to adopt AI, whatever. When I was on my first call with Dean Graziosi, right? You know, this guy is someone who's seen, you know, he, he texts Tony Robbins 20 times a day. Like he's surrounding himself with like the biggest, best people in the world, right? And so in order for me to impress this guy, I've gotta do something, right? And so like while we're on the call, he's talking about all these things he wants to do and I'm just sitting there like kind of taking a couple notes or whatever, kind of like I did with that girl Jessica and her little Flappy Bird game. And he's like, you know, one of the things I need, we need is we need a website for this and we, you know, what kind of content should be on that? It's like, I think this, this thing, this thing, this thing. He's like, yeah, it'd be really cool if you did this and you did this. And I'm just taking the notes and I'm literally just typing into Replit as he's talking. And we're sitting here, you know, just on a Zoom. And then I was like, okay, so Dean, while we've been sitting here on this call, this is what I did, right? And I just like quick share my screen and I take him to this page, online.aiadvantage.com. And, and I was like, yeah, I just, I built this, you know, while we were, while we were talking. Right. And, and he was just like, this is incredible. Right. And I mean, I had a contract, you know, within the hour for— he's like, yeah, you need to show us. I was like, I was like, the important thing here, Dean, is that it's not that I can do it, it's that I can teach anyone how to do this fast. Right.. And, and he's like, we, we, we gotta do this, right? And so, you know, we built these just really, just really cool website. We, since, since then have, you know, we switched it over to aiadvantage.com and rebuilt it, did a kind of a darker approach, you know, but it's very similar. All the content and stuff comes directly from my site, like all the way down to accredited by the General AI Proficiency Institute, my company that I built 6 months months ago, man. Like, isn't that crazy? Like, this is Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi, and they're about to launch this to the world. They haven't announced it yet, and I'm this piddly little nothing, you know. And like, I'm the one calling the shots on, you know, whether or not this is like legit. I don't know, I think it's just funny. I think it's really fun. But guys, we'll talk a lot about more of that tomorrow, the, the sales and marketing side, and I'll give you just the preview of The main thing is you just have to go for it. Do stuff that no one else is trying to do. Within a couple of weeks of launching GenAIPI, I had this build a business. I had people saying, hey, will you teach me how to do this? Right? Like, and so I came up with this, the course you're in right now. And, you know, the story just resonated with a lot of people. And so people started doing it. But I just, I just messaged KUTV. I was like, hey, you guys want to do a story on this? I built a business in a weekend. I've made hundreds of thousands of dollars in the first few weeks. And they're like, sounds like a cool story. And that afternoon I had people standing right here with cameras filming me. I was on the news that night. Boom. And I made $100,000 from that, from that single thing. They're like, Jon, I saw you on the thing. I'm signing up for your course, you know. Anyway, oh, cool. You just get out there, man. All right, guys, that's the first 4 hours. You're half done. Okay, well, yeah, tomorrow, same link, same place. And if you have any questions, you know, some— you got my phone number here. I'll drop the phone. My phone number is right here. I know, Tyson, you already texted me, whatever, but there it is. If you need anything, text me, or obviously you can ask a question in that Facebook group as well. Great ways to get that. So go ahead and snag that phone number and then you guys can get on with your day.
We'll see you tomorrow. That sounds great.
So much.
Thanks, Jon. And good— and have a great time today with Amjad.
I hope the conversation goes really well. Yeah, it should be fun. I look forward— this is my first conversation with him. Um, he's talked about me a lot on other podcasts and things like that, but, but he's finally like, yeah, we should just jump on a call and chat. So I was like, yeah, let's do it.
So we'll see what happens.
Congratulations. See you tomorrow. There we go.
