Cohort 19 - Session 2 - 8/27/2025

All right, guys. Well, welcome to day 2. How many of you guys worked on your project a little bit more yesterday? How many worked more than 3 hours on it? All right. I did not. We got some doers. Well, that's awesome. I'd love to see what you got. I'd love to start with you, Parker, if you want to. If you want to show it. Yeah. Share your screen. Let's just, let's just see it. And then, um, you know, obviously ask any questions if you're like, hey, I was trying to figure out how to do this. How do I make that happen?

Yeah.

You know, uh, that's how I want to start today a little bit.

Okay. Um, sweet. Right here.

Okay.

Let's see. Here's the idea. Basically, the one that I did yesterday was, that's just what I did. This is my actual, um, business plan. Kind of just went through, did the same thing, but with this new one. Um, so, and then here's the app that I made. So the idea is that instead of selling like pest control or Vivint or, you know, like solar, um, a lot of these summer sales reps, they can transfer over and either, you know, sell AI in person, do it phone call, just kind of make an easy transition from sales into selling something that's a little bit easier and makes more money. So here's, here's the app. Still been working on it a little bit, been working on the demo. Um, But basically, it's like, does the call work?

Does the call— like, did you connect? Okay.

No, I've been trying to get it going. Like, I can click it, but I have to click the microphone right here.

And then, and then what happens? Like, can you actually talk to it? That freeze for you also, Pablo? Yeah.

Okay.

You know, he just like, oh, Thanos snapped his finger and he's gone and he's out.

Yeah, I think he was using an iPad. Maybe that's part of the issue.

Yeah, it's— oh, it's possible. Yeah, right. Yeah, I wonder if the iPad only allows you to use the microphone on one app at a time or something, you know. But no, he's on it. This is a— we're seeing a Mac here, aren't we?

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah, he's on Safari on a Mac. Well, anyway, maybe he'll come back in a second. Here, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to stop his screen sharing. We'll let him come back when he comes back. That's cool. Well, we're going to— we're going to start out today actually with voice stuff. So he's going to love that when he's back. Pablo, you want to share what you've got? Sure.

Um, I'm still having issues just with— there's so much that I still need to build out to make this work. I've been playing around. Oh, Parker's back. Should we hop back to him real quick?

Yeah.

Parker.

Yeah.

Was it not working?

No, we lost you. Like, as soon as you push, like, allow microphone, it, like, cut us all off. And so we didn't know it did it last, like, minute or something.

Yeah. I have no idea how to work any of this crap. I legit bought this laptop for this.

I love that. So cool. So I love it, man. That's awesome. Well, look, um, so we're gonna— we're gonna be doing some, you know, voice stuff today, like AI voice, like learning how to make those callers and agents and things like that. That's what we're going to start with as soon as we're done with this little intro piece here today. So you'll— that'll be really great. You'll get a kick out of that. It's really useful. There's so many use cases. I, you know, I have one for my, you know, little life XP thing, right? Like you're gonna have your life coach guide. He'll come and talk to you about like what you should work on and give you some encouragement, whatever. So I'll set that up even with different voices and things like that. So yeah, it'll be fun. But yeah, Pablo, show us what you got.

Okay. I'll, I'll try to be brief. There's again, like I was saying, a lot that I still want to build out to make this work properly. I'm interested in using the audio functionality that you're talking about that we'll learn today. I'm hoping for that to be built into the quoting feature. But right now what I've got is the customers, you can generate AI messages. I can't send them just yet. I tried setting up—

Did you connect OpenAI? Yeah. Sweet.

Good, good. I tried setting up the, what is it called, SendGrid?

Yep.

So that it could send the emails and the texts. But so far I haven't gotten that to work. But the dashboard's up, the scheduling is up. But I need to, I'm trying to have automatic messages like reminders prior to when the appointments are scheduled. So people can say like, maybe the employee or the technician who's scheduling it. And this could also work with what you're doing, Parker, with door-to-door. Maybe you schedule a time to come in to do solar or pest control or whatever it is. And the initial, your appointment has been scheduled message, I want that to be reviewed prior to sending off. But then the 24-hour or 1-hour updates, like your appointment's in an hour or tomorrow it's coming, please cancel if you're not available. I want those to be automated by AI. And I can get them generated, but I can't get them sent. So right now, Things are kind of working internally really well. I haven't worked at all on this. This is probably the most important piece where they would take a video, it would, this, the app would need to take in the video and the audio in both English or Spanish of varying levels of grammatical correctness and accent and translate that into an English quote for the client. And so that's like the main value add of this app. I'm working on that. But right now I've just focused on these two simpler, what I thought would be lower hanging fruit, but I Of course, like you were mentioning yesterday, the more you dig into it, the more there is.

Yeah. Yeah. It, you feel like when you first get that initial, like preview, you're like, well, this is like almost done, you know, but, but it's like 1% done at that point. Really, you really got to push through it. Right. I would say you're probably 20% done on that thing based on what I'm hearing and seeing, but it's really cool. Um, you know, so one thing I would consider also, Pablo, is SendGrid is awesome, obviously, for emails, but if I'm a customer and I want a notification, I want a text, right? Yeah. And so probably, probably go for Twilio. Twilio is— SendGrid is owned by Twilio. It was acquired by Twilio, right? So it's the same company, but it is two different accounts. But just set up Twilio and get some texts working. Texts are a little bit harder, but not, not much, right? And SendGrid can be a little bit tricky to kind of finally figure out, like, how it's, how it's working. Okay. Today we're going to focus a little bit more on some of the, you know, the planning strategies, right? Like, hey, tell me what you're going to do. How's this going to work? Let's plan together on this and tell me how we're going to get SendGrid. What's the workflow like? You've got this, then that triggers this, then that triggers that, right? You want to just kind of help Replit understand it. And at the same time, you'll understand it because you're talking about it and that will help you get SendGrid rolling. What about you, Tyson? You work on anything yesterday?

Uh, after the fact, no, truthfully.

That's all good, that's all good.

I can kind of show you what, what I have. Yeah, I was working kind of throughout. I mean, I guess I was working on it until I got home with the fam, and then, um, so what this is, is it's a, a app more so. I kind of pivoted a little bit. I have some clients in the skilled nursing, uh, industry.

Yeah.

And so kind of an ability to help them manage their patients and help them kind of determine when medications are needed, when appointments are. And I know there's something like that exists, but where it seemed like it was lacking was an ability to have communication with the families on the back end as well, where families can be dialed into what's happening to their loved one there when they're getting stuff, having confirmation that all of it's happening correctly with kind of a simple check in a box in there. And so, you know, it's just kind of the basic web page here, a little bit of pricing stuff. But then when you sign in, right, this is just examples of individuals, patients that could be within these facilities where it would go to Eleanor. And shows, right, she's had this medication given at 8 AM, this dosage, she missed this one at this date. So just an ability for them to kind of track and manage the patients on the back end with having some communication with families throughout. Maybe it's appointments, maybe it's, you know, just stuff that's going on within the facility that they can stay communicating together pretty easily.

Very cool. Um, I love the name Lantern, by the way. That's, that's a cool name. That's a really strong name. Um, I, I'm sure it's taken. I'm sure lantern.com is taken, but, um, if nobody's using Lantern in this space, then you could totally use it. It's awesome.

Yeah, but it's just kind of the one that popped— it caught my eye and thought, all right, well, you know, you just like, you know, with life, make adjustments as needed to the name, but just, something to kind of use for now.

Yeah, yeah, awesome. Well, that's, uh, yeah, really cool. Um, well, yeah, we're going to keep going. Awesome, thanks Tyson. So we're going to keep going today on, um, you know, just trying to figure out how do we, how do we push a little farther, right? And, uh, you know, entrepreneurship in my opinion is just all about getting a customer to give you money, right? Now It's obviously a lot more than that. If you want them to keep giving you money, you got to be providing real value, right? But to get them to give you money in the beginning, you got to get them to trust you, right? And in order for them to trust you, your product just has to work and it has to have no what I like to call paper cuts, right? As you're going through the system, like as you were going down the lantern page there, Tyson, there was a random paper cut where some of the formatting of one of the sections was like way off to the left. You can fix that in one prompt, right? Not a big deal at all. But that's a paper cut. If I saw that on a company's website, I'd be like, this feels weird. Like, is this, am I gonna get scammed? You know, like our, our trust, like antennas are really sensitive these days. Like we don't trust anything. And so, and so you just gotta make sure that you, you know, that you, you get out of your own way, right? Make sure every button works. Make sure the footer, the terms of service is there, and you have your cool little legal AI write that up for you, right? You know, just all those little things. And so when I was building GenAI API, it's exactly what I did. I just kept going like down a user pathway, like, okay, hey, let's take the, let's take the onboarding quiz. Does this work? Okay, this works. Yeah, that's good. Okay, when I get to the end, what happens? Oh yeah, it sends an email to me. Does the email look good? Okay, I'll send the email. And it takes time to check all that, right? You have to like, like when I'm, when I'm going through doing my dang, you know, onboarding, in fact, I'll share the screen just so you know exactly what I'm talking about here. But when I'm going through doing this little assessment right here, this start free assessment, you know, first of all, I didn't originally have this modal right here that says like, here's what you're going to do and here's what it's all about. Because I had a few people come in and take the quiz and they're like, I was confused why I was asked a couple of the questions. It didn't seem like an AI test. And there's actually just some like IQ test questions in here, right? That are just like, hey, how good are you at recognizing patterns and things like that? So anyway, I had to then start the test, but then every time I wanted to test it, I have to click through 12 questions, right? And you know, that just takes time to go through all the way and do this, even if I'm just clicking on whatever answer all the way through and then get to the end to be like, okay, I finished. Did I get the email? Did the email work right? Oh no, that didn't work. Hey, Replit, okay, so I did this, I finished this, and then I was supposed to get an email, but it didn't work, right? What's going on here? You know, so it just takes time. It just takes time to go through and test all those individual things. Let's talk just for a second since I'm already into this thing. This is kind of moving ahead a little bit, but sales and marketing. Really good sales and marketing happens in a way that doesn't feel like sales and marketing, right? Whenever you can. In this instance, so this is a free kind of pretest. It's 12 questions. They're randomly selected from a big pool of questions I have that I had AI build out. I never tell the truth. Water is wet. Birds can fly. Squares have equal sides. Anyway, um, so I, I go through, I answer all these questions, and when I'm done, my idea here was I'm going to either get a really good score or I'm going to get a bad score, right? If I get a bad score Well, then let's improve your skills, right? If I get a good score, then, hey, let's get certified, right? That was my sales tactic, right? And so I've got this free test. Now I'm, you know, excited that I did well or like, I kind of feel stupid, right? Whatever. And so now I need to be motivated to learn. And so I can go make some money here or I can get certified and then add this to my LinkedIn, to my resume, to my next job application, whatever it is, or just take it to my boss and be like, hey, I'm AI certified now, I want a pay raise, whatever it is, you know, that was the idea behind this, right? So, but again, I had to test all those pathways. Great, I'm here. What happens if I click explore courses? Okay, good, it works. It takes me to the course. Can I then buy it? Great, awesome. So anyway, going through all the pathways is critical. It's really, really critical. I'll also say just for a moment, because I'm seeing this cookie settings and it just came to my mind. So some of the things that you're going to need to do as you actually launch, you don't have to do it before launch. So many people are, you know, take it has to be perfectly GDPR compliant and SEO is set up and your cookie settings are set up and all this stuff before you launch. No. Just get like the bare minimum. Like you guys are almost to the point where you have your bare minimum and go out and sell it, right? That part, you probably need a little bit more. You need a voice that works, right? Once we have the voice working, go start selling, right? And fill in the gaps later on, right? Once you have somebody that's, you know, ready to be a customer and they're going to start in 3 days, you're like, great, I've got 3 days to finish my product. You know, like just, just go sell this thing right now. And so many people wait too long. But one of the things you'll want to do eventually is you will want to have cookie preferences This is, you know, this is some legal stuff that as you get bigger, if you get more eyes on you, someone will be like, oh, they don't have cookies set up, or they don't have this set up. And, you know, you can get, you can get fined and little things like that. It's not that hard setting up cookies. You just have to ask Replit, say, hey, I need, I need a proper setup for cookies. So, um, anyway, that allows you to do a lot of really cool things. If you try to do, if you try to set up, for example, um Meta ads, right? So you're doing Facebook, Instagram, whatever, WhatsApp ads, all those things, um, they will not work, or you won't be able to set up what's called the Facebook Pixel, um, or the Meta Pixel, which is a tracking thing in there. It won't work unless you have proper cookies set up, right? And so just little things that I couldn't have told you that 6 months ago. I didn't know that, right? I was just like, why was— why is my pixel not working? What the heck? And then finally I got the cookies set up and, you know, I did more research and, and, and it's not always obvious, right? The AI doesn't always know what's going on. I spent, I'm not kidding you guys, like 3 hours yesterday figuring out a stupid problem inside of my BYU project. It's actually part of GenAIPI. It's a new part where I have, I go to genaipi.org/schools/byu, right? And I have this new like, BYU AI Training Center, right? And it's not, you know, there's nothing in here yet really, right? It's just kind of here it is. But I wanted to get a— yeah, it's not— I haven't pushed it yet. So I wanted to get videos playing in here properly and I could not get it to work. It was freak— it was saying, sorry, you know, YouTube won't allow you to embed this in here. And I ended up switching to Vimeo eventually by the end. But, but I figured out that YouTube would not allow me to show the video because of a security setting on my site on janiapi.org that my AI had written. It's a content security parameter that I didn't know existed. I didn't even know it was a thing. But now I've been through that struggle and I've figured it out and I've learned it. Now I do it. And unfortunately it's hard for me to like share all of these things.. But what I'm trying to tell you is you're gonna work through problems. You're gonna have to just learn how to ask the AI and be like, look, you're not doing something right. I need you to step back. Are there, is there anything here that could possibly do this? And, and I'll show you a couple other ways, that you can figure that out. So I found a, let's see if it's this screenshot here. Yeah, this was what I was seeing. I kept seeing this content is blocked thing, but I eventually found in the console. So you have to know, push it out to production so you can be on here and then you can open. This is in Chrome. You can just go to more tools and you go to developer tools. Then you can look for errors and you can look for things that are happening. The console here. Obviously you got a problem on this one, which is why it's not working and I'm not worried about it because I know that I've fixed this already. But you see all these errors that are happening here and so you want to come, you want to test it and then copy this because you don't know what WebSocket connection to this— whatever, I don't know what that means. So I— but I can take that over and say, hey, we're having this problem, this is the— what the console says, and let's, let's figure this out. And it's like, oh hey, that makes it really clear, I know how to fix it. Boom, right? So you just kind of have to learn how to be a partner with your AI and learn how to debug and just kind of work through it. So, so anyway, um, Cool, guys. So lots of, lots of kind of random things there, but, but it's fun to, fun to work through. All right, we're gonna dive now into— oh, you know what, let me share really quick. Um, you know, I posted this morning about it on LinkedIn about my call with, um, with Amjad, right? Um, awesome call. Um, you know, he's— he literally had like a film crew in his, in his living room there that like filmed our call, and I'm gonna be on some little documentary thing that he's working on for the launch of v3 and whatever, right? Super cool. But, but yeah, he was a really awesome dude. So this is the CEO of Replit. Replit is now valued about $3.2 billion. Um, really, um, in, in my opinion, the, the best Vibe coding development platform out there, right? It's not just Vibe coding, and that's— I've shared— I've said that to you guys, right? It's— you've got the Vibe coding piece, but then you have all the support structure around it that allows you to really build and launch and deploy and even maintain something like GenAIPI that's making, you know, it's turned into a multimillion-dollar business in just 6 months, right? So anyway, you know, this was the first time I've actually spoken to him. I've spoken with his team and other management people, you know, whatever. And that's fun. But talking with him was actually pretty cool. He's a really, really down-to-earth guy. That really just wants to bring, you know, AI to everybody and wants to help people to be able to build their ideas and bring them to life very quickly. And so he obviously loves what I'm doing and what I've done. And, you know, he's super pumped that I've brought him hundreds of businesses to be working with Replit. Obviously, that's cool. I haven't gotten paid a dime for it, by the way, right? I mean, you guys pay me, right? But like Replit hasn't paid me a dime for any of those referrals, which we might, we might make that a little more official at some point. But But the cool thing that came out of it, um, is there, you know, I've been, I've been talking to Replit about this, but he kind of like said, hey, yeah, we're going to make this happen. So, um, GenAIPI is going to become the first official training partner with Replit, right? And so anytime someone's like, hey, we need some training, some help, they'll be like, go to GenAIPI, right? So that should bring, should bring a crazy amount of business over to what I'm doing here, which will be fun. I'm gonna have to hire more people. So, but, but another cool thing that he told me about that I didn't know about is V3 is coming out. We're using V2 right now and V3 is going to have like a ton. The jump from V1 to V2 was crazy. And the jump from V2 to V3 sounds like it's going to be incredible. You'll be able to do like multiple agents at a time working on different pieces, right? Like there's going to be some cool stuff. So it'll speed you up. One of the things that I— he's like, what, what can we do? What, what kind of features would you like to see? What kind of stuff? Anyway. And that was one of the things I was talking about. I was like, yeah, you know, there's a lot of waiting. You know, I have to like, I just have to talk and then I just have to wait, right? Be really nice if I knew what I was doing, if I could do that. Now it's risky, guys, to work on two things at once, right? Because what if you have two systems that are talking to the same, you know, subsystem or backend piece and they try to make an adjustment to one and, you know, so you gotta be careful, right? You gotta do the right thing. So maybe you say, okay, this agent's gonna be working on this, you know, more complex problem. And this agent's going to be writing blog posts for me, you know, you know, stuff like that. By the way, guys, you can have your agent write blog posts for you. I'll just show you this right here. Let's go to the blog. So I haven't written one for a couple of months and, you know, but it's really, really easy. You basically just set, you know, I had it, I had it build out all this blog, you know, stuff, recent posts, all this stuff. It all works. And Yeah, these are cool. We're going to talk about Manus and Runner H today. But anyway, I had it build out all this stuff. It automatically built out the, you know, share to Facebook stuff and X and LinkedIn. I had to test all of them, push all the buttons, make sure they work, but they all work really well now. And then I just would say, okay, in this style, I want you to write something about this, and then I want you to adjust it, make sure it doesn't sound like this. Don't use too many, you know, em dashes, whatever you want to say. And anyway, so really, really fun to be able to talk with, to talk with Amjad. And yeah, obviously you can go read my post on there. But education, education is the thing that is the next kind of step. The tool, let's say AI stopped improving today and we just had the tools that are now available. There's like 10,000 tools out there, I swear. We could spend the next decade just getting everybody up to speed on just how to use these tools and how to, you know, build processes and automations and all these different things. Like, there's so much available to us right now that most people still just have no idea what's going on. So, all right, so we're going to dive in now, guys, to ElevenLabs. We're gonna do some voice stuff, right? This is one of the fun sections. Um, ElevenLabs is with out of doubt the best voice solution out there. There are some other ones and they're pretty good. ElevenLabs wins for a lot of reasons. The number one reason for me is it's just so dang easy and they have a great API. Now, we haven't really talked about APIs yet inside of Replit. Pablo figured out one API, so great job at getting OpenAI. I think you did that, right, Pablo? Yeah, and you use the Secrets Manager. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. So, so just so you guys know what that is, we'll take, you know, 60 seconds and just show you what that means here. So inside your project, when you want to bring in another system through an API, like I was talking yesterday about river levels in the USGS, you know, I can use an API for that. I could use— maybe I want to, maybe I want to add. And in fact, let's go back to, let's go back to my project here that I'm working on. Life Quest, I guess, is what it's calling it. At least here in this, it's actually just called life. But anyway, let's say I want to add, um, a weather widget to my, to my system. Just for whatever reason, I want to add a weather widget to it. I could just say this, um, let's use a weather— actually, no, I should do this. I need a weather widget to show up on the home page for your logged in. Um, man, it's not keeping up with my, with my typing. Um, I probably just need to restart my computer. I have so many things open. So I need a weather widget showing the home page. Let's have it be just underneath the Life logo, um, in the top left of the hero section. Okay, I prefer to use the Weather API. Okay, you don't have to say that, I just prefer to use that one. But Weather API is, um, is just another API that's out there. Um, again, looks complicated, it's really not. You always— what I always like to do first when I'm looking at API, I'm gonna look at pricing, right? Because I want to see if there's any free usage, right? I want to be able to test it without having to pay for it, hopefully. Okay, most systems do have that. They do have the ability to allow you to do that. Now, here's the cool thing with Weather API. At $0 per month, you get up to 1 million calls. That's crazy. So I mean, unless you have just massive traffic coming to your website, you're going to be on the free tier for a long time. If you have more than a million calls happening, I promise you can afford the $7 per month. So you're going to be just fine and then you can bump it up to whatever you need. But if you wanted to build a weather app, I mean, you could have a weather app cranking with just this weather API. You can see some of the things that it— you can't do future weather until you get up to the, you know, 25 days. And weather alerts, there's some that are limited, whatever. Pollen, right, pollen history, whatever. And then they have these APIs. And then, you know, once you, once you do, you just log in or you sign up for free, whatever, and then just log in and I'm on the free plan, million calls per month, zero calls made, because again, I'm not using it. I'm not trying to build that. But there's my API key, right? And so, you know, this is actually a no-no for me to show you my API key, but it doesn't matter because it's just kind of a demo one and I'm not actually using it and it's on a free account, so it doesn't matter. But if you ever expose your API key and it is a paid account, like somehow it gets out on LinkedIn or some screenshot somewhere or some Zoom call you're on or whatever, just replace it, right? I can ask for a new API key. It's very easy. There's unlimited ones, but all you're going to do is you're going to copy that API key when it asks for it, right? So right here, I already have a Weather API key in my account. Okay, so this is using now what's called the Secrets Manager. Okay, so Secrets is right here. It's just one of those extra little things you can click on. And right now in my app, I have, I have only a few secrets that are related like to my database and then what's called a session secret. And it will automatically set up all of your systems already have all of these. Keys. Okay, but then on my account, I have tons of APIs that I use, right? I've got Bright Data and Cloudinary and ElevenLabs and Mapbox, OpenAI, OpenWeather, and this Weather API one right here. Okay, and so it just says, hey, do you want to use the one that's in your account? And I'm like, sure, great. So it's already there. If it wasn't there, this would just be empty, and I would just copy this API key and I would paste it and click continue. And then it would say, do you want to add it to your account secrets? And you can say yes, and then you can save that and use it for other other projects. You can also, if you want to be really a good developer, which I wouldn't call myself a good developer and I like, you know, fast. Technically for every project you would, you would do a different API key just so you can like track usage of, you know, by project or whatever. I don't really care that much. Even with live projects, I have, you know, the same API key and a few different things and I'm just like, whatever, like I get a bill and I'll pay it. Like, if it's 14, because most of my API bills are like $4, right? Um, you know, again, super cheap for this one. Um, back to, uh, you know, back to ElevenLabs. ElevenLabs, I'm gonna like blow your mind with everything it can do. It's $5 a month for ElevenLabs. It's so cheap. And then you have API usage stuff, and I'll show you how to do that too. But, um, but anyway, let's go back to here and let's see if we get a Let's see if we get a little weather widget showing up here. Okay, more than enough. That's good. It's building routes, landing. Okay, now it's— and now it's building the landing page widget, probably. Weather unavailable. It's probably weather unavailable because it doesn't have access to my, um, to my location. Okay, I don't want it in the header. I want it just below the nav menu header at the top right of the section. Okay, so we'll, we'll get that to fix itself. Now to test it though, I can click this open a new tab button and that opens it so I can actually see it on a browser for a second. Then I should be able to— I got to log out. I should be able to see this here. Now it's asking for my location. Use your location? Sure. Let's do that. Then theoretically, should work. It disappeared though. Obviously, this is just one of those things where you're going to test it and you're going to debug it until it works. It looks like it just moved it. It's gonna move it to right here. Oh, it moved it over here to the right. I wanted it on the left. That's okay. Whatever. Um, did it move it over here already? No.

Okay. Let's try again. I think you accidentally put top right in that message.

Oh, I might. Yeah, well then that was my fault. Okay. It says weather unavailable. Says weather unavailable. Also top left, move it under the black. Actually, yeah, move it. I'm just say move it. I don't want to confuse it again about the header. But anyway, it says weather unavailable. So you're just going to, you're just going to work through like anything else in here. And then it'll debug the API problem. It should do this pretty quick. I've set up a weather widget like 100 times and it usually gets it first or second shot. Come on, moved it. Okay, I can see the widget feels returning HTML instead of JSON, which means weather API route isn't being hit properly. We fix this by checking the weather widget's error handling and API call. You know, sometimes it just does things where you're like, did you even like try to read the documentation? Sometimes it just like goes, hey, there it is, I'm in Payson now. Okay, perfect, that's working correctly. Now showing it in Celsius, obviously I could say, um, you know, let's only show the Fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit.

I think that's right. Anyway, that's it. That's how you set up a weather API, right? And so now anybody that goes to the site, it should, you know, ask for their location and then boom, the weather will work. So pretty neat. Pretty neat. Super easy. Super easy to set up those APIs. So let's go back into Open— sorry, ElevenLabs and let's mess with this. So first of all, when you first get into here, you're gonna have— this is what it's gonna look like. You're going to go into the voices section. The voices section is kind of the central place where you can play with different voices that are out there. There's a lot of existing ones where you can—

stillness of contemplation, the universe whispers its secrets, waiting only for a—

what are you looking for when it comes to narration?

Clarity?

Intelligence?

If you really think you're alone at night, hiding under the covers, I can assure you You're very much mistaken. Well, that's fun and creepy. And anyway, there's thousands of voices on here. Okay, one thing I want to point out, if you do use one of these other like really professional voices, they're way better than mine. Oh, gaming Unreal. Oh dang, I thought that said Unreal Tournament. Hold on, I want to see what this is. It totally is. That's funny. Anybody play Unreal Tournament? That's an old game. Oh man, that was a fun game back in the day. That came out. Yeah, that's 2003. The original one came out in like '98. Anyway, if there's a little, little price symbol next to it, there's an additional charge for every credit that you use, right? So $0.03 for whatever credits. So it's still not very expensive, right? This is actually a pretty good one. I've used Jess before. Just in testing.

Hello, my name is Jess.

I love people and good conversations. Good Australian boys. So you have different uses for different whatever, right? But this one right here, this female robot. Hello, I'm Ava. How may I assist you today? I don't like that one. Obviously there's other languages that you can use. This is perfect. Think about this, guys, though, in the, you know, for voice acting, you know, let's say you're making an animated whatever, or even just a real movie, you need voiceovers, you need whatever. Think about all of the jobs that affects that this can now do in seconds and do better. It never sleeps and never whatever. It's going to, if you want it to do it again, it'll do it again. It won't complain, do another take. Change the thing. You know, it's just a matter of typing and talking and working, working through it. And so you can— once you've got your voice, you can also create a voice, right? So creating a voice, guys, you can do your own voice. You want to clone your own voice? Here's another crazy example. Maybe you want to clone your grandpa who's already passed, right? You've got recordings of him, right? A video, some old video, whatever. Take some audio, get it, upload 5 minutes of audio. And your grandpa's back to life, right? Then make something cool where you can upload his journals and, and, you know, give that to your dad as a, as a gift and just be like, hey, you know, I know this isn't Grandpa, but talk to this. Ask him about his stories. Ask him about his life. You know, pretty cool stuff, guys. You can build some really, really impactful and meaningful things. Pablo, looks like you have a question or a comment.

Oh, I was just gonna say, that's so cool. Imagine if you could do that on like FamilySearch where you could have people's family tree automated, like they're speaking.

Yeah, you like talk to them. It's like they come to life like Harry Potter, you know?

Yeah, that's really cool. Can they— so I see that this is multilingual. Can this do English? I'm assuming this is the case because I'm seeing— oh, there it is right there. Cornelius, English and Spanish.

I see the Spanish flag. Absolutely. Yeah, there's a lot of them that have, you know, multiple language capabilities. And I'm going to show you how to do that, how to set up, even how to be able to go back and forth between languages. Like you could build yourself a Spanish tutor, right? You enable the voice to speak English and Spanish, give it instructions to teach, and then say, all right, take me through some exercises. Talk to me. Fix my Spanish when I mess up.

I know you're multilingual. Have you, have you tried that? Have you spoken to—

that's so cool. Yeah. Yeah. I built a Chinese tutor in one of these courses. I built myself a Chinese tutor and I could speak to it in English and I could speak to it in Chinese and it would correct me and fix things. It's pretty cool. Pretty cool stuff. That's amazing. So yeah, to create a voice, guys, you click here, voice design. You can design something from a text prompt, right? You can say, hey, I want a British voice or an Australian voice or whatever I want. You can just use text to do that. You can do a professional voice clone, which is more like 5 minutes of audio, right? And it actually will be much better. But if you want just a quick, like, hey, I just need, you know, my voice, takes 10 seconds. Okay, let's do this really quick. All right, let's go ahead and just talk for a minute here and we'll say A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z. I did that so that it would get all the different sounds of different letters and we're already up to 15 seconds, so we've already given it too much, too much information. Okay. So I'm done, right? That's all it takes to create a voice. And now I can preview it. Kindness is the sunshine that warms the heart. Okay, so it sounds like me. It's not going to be as good as one of these professional ones that's put in a lot of, you know, if you can put up to, I think it's up to 30 minutes. You know, the professional one you can do, you know, a minimum of 5 minutes, but you can go up to 30 minutes of audio and it will, it's really good, right?, but it needs to understand how you pause, how you slow down, what you're like when you're speaking fast, when you go up and you're excited and when you're sad and you know, so, so when you give it material to be trained on, try to, you know, pull out your inner actor and, and do that, right? Or if you don't really care about your voice, then use one of these other amazing voices. I'm not going to save this voice because I've saved other ones and you have a limit. I have a limit of 30 voices, which is a lot, but I've already, I've already created some other clones of myself., that are pretty good, right? This live demo one's actually not just like flowers need sun. You need kindness to grow. Gardens remind us of the kindness of the earth. Let your light shine brightly and brighten dark paths. Anyway, there's also really crazy ones.

Like, here's a seductive and intimate, like, whisper one.

Tell me, do you always surrender this easily, or is it just because you want to? So you can obviously see this is used for all kinds of purposes. You know, if you've ever jumped on Grok and played with their, you know, AI companions, let's say, which I have not actually, but I've seen plenty of videos of it and it's just probably not my thing. But anyway, there's all kinds of use cases that obviously will go, you know, all over the place here. But there's some that are really, really cool.

I actually think this was— Use your shield of invisibility to sneak through that tunnel.

Yeah, I was doing something for like a game and she has a really good game voice.

I really liked that one. So anyway, cherish the earth and its infinite beauty.

Cherish the earth. I built with ElevenLabs. Did I show you guys the Outpost X thing yesterday?

The what?

The Outpost X thing. I don't recall. Yeah, that's okay. That's okay. I'll, uh, I'll pull this up. I probably didn't. Um, but so if you heard about Outpost X, you guys ever heard of this place? So it's placed down in southern Utah. You know, you go down to like not quite to St. George and then turn right. Anyway, it's probably like 3, 4 hours from, from where we all live. And you feel like you're in Star Wars, like you feel like you're on another planet and it's just so cool. Made by a guy named Travis Chambers. It's a good buddy of mine and they're pretty cheap. They're pretty cheap to rent these places out. You know, you can sleep in tents, you got the Zen domes, stuff like that. Like it's It's really awesome. You want to take your significant other on a cool, you know, 2-day getaway. You probably want 2 days there, right? Go there, stay a night, another day. You've really done most of it in 2 days. I mean, you could stay a couple of days. They also have awesome, like, you know, pools and hot tubs and things like that. So really, really fun. The Sand Cruisers make for some of the best pictures ever. Anyway, you guys know Ryan Trahan? Heard of Ryan Trahan. So, Ryan Trahan is a big-time YouTuber. If you have kids that watch YouTube at all or YouTube Kids, he's a big-time creator. But, I went there when he was at Outpost X. Travis invited me down to meet him. He's got 20 million subscribers, super nice guy, but they did a bonfire on Friday night right here basically and he doused it in gasoline. And lit it, you know, lit like a flame, like a line to it. And it gets all the way over to this big pile of pallets with like nails and everything, right? And just explodes. I have a crazy video of it. I posted it on Instagram and it went viral like immediately. Got like 3 million views. And then Ryan Trahan reaches out. He's like, dude, can you take that down? Like YouTube, like I'm a kids creator and YouTube's really mad about this video. And I was like, yeah, I'll take it down. So I had to take it down, but Anyway, so Outpost X is really cool, but when you're there, you know, you're like, okay, well, how do I eat? How do I rent the sand cruisers? And you know, there's all this lore, like it's kind of like Star Wars theme, but it's not Star Wars because they didn't, you know, actually get any IP. So it's just like you're on another planet and they've got all this cool stuff. And so I built this little assistant for them using ElevenLabs, right? So here's the Amira, right? Chief storyteller of Outpost X. And so I can ask it things like, hey, tell me a story about, you know, Namajean or whatever, right? Or tell me who's Na and Ma, right? Or whatever. Or I can say, what's the Wi-Fi password, right? And it can just tell me that kind of stuff.

So we'll test it. Welcome, traveler. I am Amira.

How shall I guide you?

Yeah, what's the Wi-Fi password here? The network is Outpost X and the password is a capital O for Outpost, followed by the capital letter X, and then followed by the number 1. Outpost X1.

Is there anything else I can assist you with? Yeah, could you just tell me who Na and Ma are?

Na and Ma are central figures in the rebuilding of Outpost X after the Great Flare. Na is an astral traveler and philosopher, while Ma—

Anyway, you guys go play with that if you want later, but bottom line is it, you know, now there's an assistant and they don't have to answer a ton of questions, so they just have like some QR codes like, hey, if you have any questions, you can ask Amira. And so that takes care of real customer service needs, right? Instead of having to do that. And then they said, hey, you know, some people don't want to use the voice, they just want to use text. And so what I did here is I set up an OpenAI-powered chatbot that's trained on all the same information, right? So I could ask the same thing, what's the Wi-Fi password? And it should come up with, you know, theoretically the same thing. Wait for it. Amira is thinking. There we go.

So anyway, pretty cool, pretty cool stuff, guys. So this is really awesome. This could be something that you put at like any place where tourists go, like national parks, monuments.

So I have a big Airbnb group working with me right now that owns— they own like 10 hotels, like, like big hotels, and then they, and they own something like 70 Airbnbs, right? And so I, I basically trained their team. It's like, look, you can come in. I showed them that same one. I said, and then I showed them how to build all this stuff out. So they're now building an assistant for every single Airbnb, right? That's brilliant. Like local information, and there's just a QR code in the Airbnb. Like, how cool is that? You show up to an Airbnb and you're like, hey, talk to our virtual assistant, right? Talk to our AI assistant if you want to know anything about the area, right? And then obviously it knows about the area because it's AI and it just knows things. But then it also knows the specific things you've trained it on related to that house. What's the Wi-Fi password? What's the, you know, how do I get into that room? Why is this door locked? You know, whatever it is, right?

So, um, that's so cool. That could apply to things like nursing facilities or other facilities that you're working with, Tyson, or Maybe there's apartments that your solar company uses, Parker, and it could be like, okay, these are the places where you should go and check. These are the places where people are selling, or this is where good places to eat, that sort of thing, to help people with their experiences as they go out for the summer or whatever they're doing.

This is really cool. Yeah, so Level Labs is really powerful, really easy to use. You can do text-to-speech, right? So if I just want it to say something like, You know, BYU is the best, right? We're just gonna say that and Rachel's gonna say it. I would just say generate speech. BYU is the best. Right?

Let's add this.

Let's generate it again. BYU is the best. BYU is the best. That's not a question mark. Regenerate. BYU is the best. Now I wanna try V3 here for a second. Get started. Voice Liam. So there's only a few, and maybe I can't use Rachel. Is there a way to specify, like, the tone? Yeah, I need to figure out how to do it. I'm learning right now. There's a way to add tags.

Excited.

There we go.

Generate speech.

BYU is the best. BYU is the best. Yeah, I don't like that one. I like this one. But anyway, so I can keep messing with these. Obviously they have different models that will be trained better on different things. And so you just kind of have to learn, experiment. But text-to-speech is really, really useful. I had a guy that took this course. You'll see them in the, in the Build a Business with AI group. I know a couple of you jumped in here yesterday. Brantley, Brantley, right here. I want to see if I can find this. I'm gonna scroll down a little bit. I want to show you what's possible with, with AI when you do this right. It's going to be back like a couple months ago. That's okay. We'll just scroll down a little bit. I'll, I'll know it when I see it. Yeah, this right here. So first of all, so this is getting a little bit ahead in terms of some of the things we've done. We haven't done any video stuff. We'll do some video stuff today and some picture stuff. How to bring, like, I know I talked about, you know, maybe bringing your grandpa to life. What if you bring an old picture of grandpa to life, right? Or a great-great-great-grandpa or somebody. You've got a picture and now you can bring them to life, right? Using one of these video models. And so I showed that in the course, how to do that. And then Brantley went out and he created an entire business around that and created this ad for this product. So let's just watch his ad here and you guys will kind of see what he was able to do. So he pulled a bunch of things together to make all this happen. ChatGPT for the prompts, Google's Flow for text-to-video, VEO-3 model, and then ElevenLabs for the voiceover, of course.

So here we go. Some memories live in photo albums stored in drawers. Fading quietly with time.

But what if your favorite photo could move again?

So that's a fake video made by AI. At Living Pictures, we bring your cherished moments back to life through subtle, lifelike animation. We restore, enhance, and animate old photographs with care, quality, and heart. Because your family's story deserves more than still frames. It deserves motion, warmth, connection. These aren't just photos. They're living heirlooms, ready to be seen, ready to be felt.

I've never seen anything like this. It felt like they were here again.

Also AI. All AI. Bring your memories to life. So cool.

Visit our website today to get started. So, so impressive, guys. So that whole voiceover obviously was done by ElevenLabs. So yeah, anyway, I'm just floored when I see stuff like that from people that have taken this course. Really exciting to see it all kind of come together. Okay. You can also do voice changer, right? This is kind of cool. All right, let's see what I sound like as a woman. So I can just click Generate Speech. We'll use Rachel's voice. They are. All right, let's see what I sound like as a woman. Okay, so that means it's taking my exact performance exactly how I said it and simply changing the voice, right? I can switch this to another one. I could be Brian. I don't know what Brian sounds like, but we're going to try it now. All right, let's see what I sound like as a woman. So anyway, pretty fun, pretty fun to play with. So voice changer is good, sound effects, voice isolator, there's a lot of other fun things. I also have a new music thing in Studio, which I haven't actually played with their music thing. But where I'm really going to get, you know, crazy in this, Parker, is where you're going to start to say, okay, how do I do that, right? This is, it's agents, right? And that's in their conversational AI section here, okay? And so to create an agent, super easy. You go in and you just click new agent and you just say blank agent or, you know, pick an existing thing. And you say, you know, AI receptionist, and create an agent. And then here's all your setup, right? So a couple things I want to point out. One, you've got your agent ID, right? So when you're integrating this into Replit, right, it's going to say, hey, I need your agent ID. It's gonna need your agent ID and your API key. Your API key will be found in your settings. Okay. And you'll just go to settings right here and developer, or maybe it's developers right here. Yeah, there it is. It's developers and then your API keys. Okay. You'll create a key and just call it whatever. And then you'll give it access to whatever it needs access to. Ask, ask, you know, Replit, hey, what does it need access to in here? You could even take a picture of this and say, what does it need? Or you can just say, you know, unlimited or don't restrict the key or, you know, whatever you want to do, right? Say, hey, you can access all these different things. And just turn it all on. But you just give them that API key and then you can do that. Just click on Developers API Keys and then you'll also provide the agent ID which it will ask for. I'll just go back to my agent. Maybe here it is. Then on here, all of this, guys, really is pretty self-explanatory. Just read it and then fill out what you want. What do you want the default language to be? English. Okay, great. Maybe you want to start in Spanish. Okay. Hey, specify additional languages which callers can choose from. Hey, maybe I want this one to speak Spanish also. Okay, perfect. Done. Now I've added Spanish. Now I can add Chinese. I can add whatever I want here. Okay, to support additional languages, language overrides will be enabled. You can view and configure all overrides in the Security tab, which we'll show in a minute. We recommend enabling language detection. Okay. Perfect. Done. Okay, then the first message, right? This is going to be the first thing that it says when you turn it on. Okay, so, hello, how can I help you today? Or, hello, welcome to, you know, welcome to, you know, Podium, right? How can I help you? Right? Or you can say instead of welcome to Podium, you know, this is Sarah, Podium, how can I help you? Okay, then the system prompt. This is important. The system prompt is where you're going to give it, you know, all of its instructions on how it's going to act, right? Could just be you're a helpful assistant or a helpful receptionist that helps people get in touch with the right person at Podium. Here is a list of all of the people that work at Podium. Jon Cheney, CEO. Nathaniel Hancock, CRO. Okay, whatever, right? So I'm just going to add that. So we now have 2 people that it knows, right? Describe desired agents. So receptionists. Okay, awesome. I could add timezone if I needed to. I could add other variables if I wanted to. You can then choose which LLM is actually powering it behind the scenes. And so you could switch to like ChatGPT if you want, right? GPT-5, things like that. But you do need to pay attention to these little tiny numbers right here, which you can see GPT-5 is 1 cent per minute as opposed to GPT-5 mini, which is a fifth of that. Right. And so right now it's set— hello— right now it's set to Gemini-001, which is at $0.0007 per minute. Right. Awesome. Let's just use that one. Okay. I'm just going to be more than capable. You can obviously try that and try different things. Then you can mess with this. You can say, hey, I want you to be very precise, or hey, I want you to be creative, you know, and, you know, let them, let them do that. Or you can toggle that and you can just test it. You'll be able to just click Test AI Agent here in a second. Then you can limit the token usage. The token usage is if you don't want someone to be able to talk to your agent for 3 hours. Because theoretically, they could just waste all your API credits if they did that. If they just found like, I'm just going to use this as my therapist. You could also, by the way, you can stop that not only by token, limits, but you can also stop that here and say, hey, if they start to get off topic from being a receptionist at Podium and they want to talk about, you know, the moon, then let's redirect them back to here, right? Don't allow them to just talk about anything. So you can give those instructions or those limits in the prompt itself. Okay, the agent knowledge base, this is awesome. So let's say you did want to work with Podium, right? And instead of putting all of that entire you know, maybe they've got 300 people that work at Podium. You're probably not going to put all of those names and titles and things in here, but maybe you want to put, you know, a company directory in here, right? So you could then add that document just by uploading a file, right? You can add text, you can add whatever. You can have this be anything it needs to know. So anything about your business, anything about your pricing, anything about whatever you want to do. You can add in here. You can see that it has these, you know, basic— the podcast for Outpost X, right? And signs with audio throughout Outpost X. That's a document that I uploaded in here in this profile, in this account. And so that had basically all the text about, hey, what is Outpost X all about? So I was able to do that and then it's trained on all of that information. Okay, then you can give it capabilities, right? So for example, we turned on detect language, right? You can give it the ability to end the call with the user. Hey, thanks so much.

Bye.

Okay. And then, you know, you can have it skip the turn. Agent will skip its turn if user explicitly indicates they need a moment. Okay. So be like, okay, hey, hold on one second. I'm looking for something. I'm going to get my credit card out of the car. Hold on. You know, whatever. Okay. You can also give it the ability to transfer to another AI agent or transfer to a human. So there's different use cases there, obviously, right? Maybe you've got one that's like, hey, I need customer service. Okay, great. Let me get you over to there. And then you transfer to another agent. That's the customer service one, tries to solve the problem with them. If it can't, then you can say, all right, now you have the ability to transfer to a human. Okay. Gives agent the ability to play keypad touchstones during a phone call. I haven't used that yet, so I don't know what the use case is for that. And then you can say voicemail detection allows agent to detect voicemail systems and optionally leave a message. Okay. So you sales guys or maybe people that aren't sales guys and want to set up some sort of sales system, Right, Parker, I know you're talking about like, hey, I'm gonna hire all these door-to-door guys. Maybe that's cool. Maybe just hire a swarm of AI agents to get it done for you, right? They can call 100 people at once and they never stop working and they never call in sick and they never complain and they cost $5, right? So, um, consider that, right? Can you build your own AI sales team? So you're going to want to build a good prompt, right? Here's how you're going to get over this objection. Here's what we're going to do here. Here's the product. Here's pricing. Here's the goal. I want you to set up this. I want you to get them to go sign up automatically, or you want— I want you to get it to book a meeting with me. Whatever it is, you would then set up that awesome sales prompt there. Okay. You could say, hey, if it detects a voicemail, just hang up. Okay. Or leave the message if you want. And then you can add custom tools and other things like that. But again, none of this was really that complex. You guys could figure all this stuff out. So I'm going to click save on what we have so far. Then I'm going to show you just a couple other things. You've got workflows where you could say, hey, here's— I want you to start here and then I want you to do this. If this, then that. You can build those kind of systems. I haven't actually built one yet, but I've seen these a lot. It's a lot like N8N, which I'll show you guys later. Then you've got the voice. Okay, so we'll use Eve for this one.

Okay, here I want to cherish the Earth and its infinite—

Yeah, that's fine. So we'll save Eve. So she's going to be whatever I named her in the beginning, Sarah. Sarah at Podium. Okay, but that's how you change the voice. Super easy, right? Default language will be English. You can also change it to Spanish if you want. Okay, you can also have multi-voice support for this agent, right? So I'm going to want different voices for, um, for what I'm building inside of my, uh, you know, my life project or wherever the heck that is over here, right? When I want my agent to come to life, um, then I'm gonna have— I have 4 different voices that it can be, right? And so you can have it switch, just like it can switch between languages, it can also switch to another voice. Okay, there's— yeah, Flash is actually pretty cool, which just basically it's real related to latency, right? You don't want there to be a lot of latency there. Pronunciation dictionaries, you can add dictionaries, you can do some really cool stuff here. Use AI to figure out how to use some of these platforms or features if you want. Then you can worry about latency here where you could say, hey, you know what, The quality might be a little bit less, but I want this to be really, really good in terms of whatever there. So obviously there's little things here, normal latency, maximum latency, and without text normalization. So you probably would never want to go to 4, but it tells you how to understand these things. Speed, stability, similarity, all kinds of stuff. And then you can just keep going through, guys, and just looking at this stuff. Analysis is actually kind of cool. After you have a bunch of data, you can go and you can listen to calls., right? So we could go and we can listen to other people that have called into the Outpost X and see what they're talking about, right? And so we could check on that. I'll show that in a minute. Okay, but anyway, I think we've done this pretty well. Let's test the AI agent and see if it can introduce me to Nathaniel Hancock, or I'm going to ask, yeah, is your chief revenue officer there?

See what happens. Hello, this is Sarah at Podium.

How can I help you?

Yeah, I want to talk to your CRO. Who is that? Our CRO is Nathaniel Hancock. One moment while I see if he is available. In the meantime, could you briefly describe the reason for your call? This will help me direct you appropriately in case he's unavailable.

Yeah, I just want to sell him an awesome new system.

Okay, thank you for that information. Please hold while I check if Nathaniel is available to speak with you.

Then it would go do its thing. We haven't given it that capability yet. But anyway, there's the call. You can set that up pretty easily and you could say, hey, I want to adjust this a little bit. The one thing we didn't try, let me try just asking it something in Spanish. Actually, I'm going to try starting in English and see if I can get it to switch.

Hello, this is Sarah at Podium.

How can I help you?

Hola, ¿cómo estás? ¿Hablas español? Hola, estoy bien, gracias.

Sí, hablo español. ¿Cómo puedo ayudarte hoy?

Sí, me busco a Jon. ¿Te refieres a Jon Cheney, el CEO?

Sí.

Claro, te transfiero con él. ¿Puedo preguntar tu nombre y el motivo de tu llamada?

Anyway, so it was able to very easily bounce between those two languages.

It's awesome. That was so good. I'm curious how well it would handle, like, you know how there's very different accents in every language? Like, if you go to the South, like, it's just really hard to understand. Or some places in Scotland, for example. It's similar in Spanish-speaking countries, like Puerto Rican or Caribbean countries. Their Spanish is just not as clear. I'm curious how well the AI can handle that because I was thinking about that yesterday. If I'm trying to do voice to text and hoping to capture a broad Hispanic population, there's tons of different accents. Some of them aren't very clear or they're not always the most grammatically correct. I'm curious how well the AI does with that. I saw that there was that you mentioned, can you just briefly touch on that?

There's dictionaries that you can upload. Um, so I, I don't— I have never done the dictionary feature, and so that's, you know, I would just ask AI about it or, you know, try to figure out what's going on here. But, um, but yeah, in terms of the accents, it can handle anything you can imagine, right? AI is incredibly intelligent and capable and adaptive, right? So I wouldn't, I wouldn't be worried about it at all. Now, one of the things you're going to need, guys, if you're going to do, if you're going to do like an actual phone number, right, if someone's calling into an agent, right, you're going to have connect it there. So you can connect from Twilio or I guess SIP trunk. I guess those are two places where they'll let you, where they'll let you do that. So always look at some of the systems before you go and try to connect another system. Now you certainly can, if you want to just work your own API, you know, thing, you could use something like Grasshopper, but you're going to need now the Grasshopper API and the ElevenLabs API, and then you'll put those together in Replit, right? And you'll build your little system. Okay.. And do you need to know how to do that? No, because Replit knows how to do it. Okay? You just have to know what you want the experience to be. When I call, I want it to do this, and then I want it to do that, right? And then you'll have to configure some of the stuff inside of ElevenLabs in terms of how, you know, what happens on the call. And then when you're done, great. Hey, I want then an email to be sent out to this and, you know, whatever. So anyway, let's look really quick at Amira and see if we can listen to any, Recordings. Where is it? It's not the analysis place.

Advance.

Evaluate conversations. Yeah, here we go. Here we go. So let's go back to here.

I don't know if this is— this is cool. Welcome, traveler.

I am Amira.

How shall I guide you?

How far is Outpost X from Portland, Oregon? As the crow flies, Portland is quite a distance from our sanctuary here on Namargin. Are you planning your journey from there? Perhaps I can assist you with directions or travel arrangements once you arrive on planet. Yes. Yes. Very good. Once you arrive on planet, you'll find that Enterprise is about 45 minutes away and has groceries, gas, and a local diner called Marv's. Will you be needing directions from there, or is there anything else I can assist you with regarding your journey?

No.

What is there to do at Outpost X? Anyway, so I think that's pretty funny. The prompt could probably be tuned a little bit. It's like, yeah, when you get to the planet, you know, we'll help you out. But it did say it in the second sentence and said, yeah, we're about 45 minutes from Enterprise. It needs to say Enterprise, Utah, right? So you need to say, look, I know you're supposed to pretend you're from another planet, but we also need practical advice for when people are looking for this in Utah. So make sure you're clear about that, right? So anyway, this is really important, guys. You want to listen to your conversations so that you can figure stuff like this out. Travis Chambers is a super awesome guy. You know, he's the guy that founded and owns this Outpost X and whatever. But he's also super busy, so I know he hasn't gone in and listened to these. So if I was a good friend, I'd probably send him this recording. Uh, let's download that audio. I'm gonna be a good friend. Um, that's pretty funny. So anyway, um, I kind of did it as a favor, and he, you know, he let me come down and hang out there for free, so that was fun. But, um, but this is actually running on my account. It's not used a ton, but I am getting charged. I am getting charged for it, but I want to look at the— I'm going to look at the, um, credits. I want to see my credits. Let me click here. I don't want to upgrade, I just want to look at my credits. Um, manage subscription. Yeah, that's not— I want my credits. Anyway, there's a place somewhere in here to do it. I'm only on $22 a month and I'm clearly not using it all. I have $164,000 left. It's so easy to do this, and I'm pretty sure these credits, um, I think they roll over, so you can like really, really get a lot. But I'm obviously not using all of them, so I don't really care. I just kind of set it up for him, and at some point I need to transition it over to his, his own system. So anyway, guys, agents are amazing. Um, you know, building these knowledge bases and things like that, you can do that in here, and you can just play around with this stuff, guys. Webhooks, we're not going to talk about yet. That's just a little bit more advanced, so we don't want to go into. But, but anyway, so ElevenLabs, primo tool, one of my, one of my go-tos. It can do just incredible, incredible things. So, um, all right guys, we're gonna pause for a second and we're going to talk about, um, we're gonna talk about a really cool concept called surf, don't Swim. So this is just kind of like we talked about yesterday with Eric Schmidt, kind of another just kind of group discussion part. Um, so this very much applies to you, Tyson, um, because you're in this industry. So surf don't swim is a concept made by a guy named Jeremy Witt, who is actually my old chief sign— or sorry, chief strategy officer for my company that I started 10 years ago. And he was with me. He invested about $500,000 in the company and then we ended up hiring him about a year or two, probably 2 years later actually to come and lead our team and some of what we were doing. Just really, really experienced guy, made all his money during the dot-com bubble. And then, just went on to do a lot of great things. One of the things he did is he bought a, um, uh, an, a, um, senior center in Kansas City with about 200 beds. And, and, uh, and I'll talk about that more in a little bit, but anyway, so let's talk about surfing for a second. Um, let's talk about surfing versus swimming, I guess. So how much— let's, let's just see if there's any kinesiologists or anybody that knows this, but how many calories do you think you burn? How many kcal or how much energy is expended in 10 minutes of swimming in the ocean? What do you guys think? 10 minutes?

Yeah, 10 minutes of swimming in the ocean.

Um, 150. I was about to say that. Good guess, good guess. Yeah, it's— it probably depends on how hard you're swimming and how, you know, waves are, all that different stuff, right? Comes out usually to about 100, right, for kind of the average person, but certainly it could be 150 if you're going hard at it. Okay, cool. Now this is— and again, there's no, there's no score. Nobody cares. But how much bigger, how much more energy? So relative to that swimmer, how much energy do you think a tsunami creates? 100 times, 1,000 times, 1 million times, 1 trillion times?

What do you guys think? Really, that tsunami is going to generate more than you can even imagine.

Yeah, the, the answer, as I, you know, and I know there's also lots of variables, all right, how strong is the swimmer, how big is the tsunami, you know, whatever, it's probably about 4 billion times, right, according to ChatGPT. 4 billion times more energy, right? Even if it was only 100 times more energy, right, there's no way the swimmer is going to win that battle, right? If you're trying to fight against a tsunami, you're going to lose, okay? And so now to bring this back to AI, AI is the biggest wave that has ever hit humanity. It just is, right? We've talked about that already. So there's other waves that have hit humanity before, right? You had electricity and the internet. You had the wheel. You had, you know, all kinds of advancements that have happened throughout history. And they all have had profound effects on society as a whole, right? We talked about yesterday how farmers used to be a thing and now they're not, right? I mean, they are, but, you know, the relative You know, impact of farming on your everyday person is pretty low, right? Even though, you know, you go to the store and, you know, farming has an impact for sure because you're shopping for groceries, shopping for vegetables that were farmed. But humans don't have to do it anymore because technological advancements happened and allowed us to shift and move and adjust. Okay, so, so now let's talk about what does it mean to surf versus swim in business? Okay, how do we surf a tsunami, right? How do we surf the tsunami instead of being swimming? If we're swimming during a tsunami, we're going to get smashed against the rocks and we're going to die. We're going to get sucked out to sea, right? But if we're surfing, we're on top of it, right? And so we can, we, you know, as the tsunami rises, so do we, because we're on top of it, right? And so that's kind of how you have to think about it. Um, if your business, your idea, your technology, whatever it is, right? If it gets better, As AI gets better, you're surfing, right? If you're getting passed up while AI gets better, you're swimming, right? Or sinking maybe. Okay. So, so that's it. That if the technology upon which you are built or that's around you that can affect you, right? If you get competitively better because AI gets better, you are surfing. If you get competitively or relatively worse, then you're swimming. So we want to surf, we want to surf. So let's look at, um, Netflix for a second. What does Netflix do? What, what kind of— what's their, what's their business model? What do they do? Entertainment. Okay, entertainment, that's a big wave.

What else? Streaming.

Streaming, awesome, another big wave. Subscriptions, making movies. Yeah. Yeah. So they do have a studio. You're right. Yeah. So that's another one. I would argue that's not swimming or that's right. That's not surfing. That is swimming, right? When you're, you're doing that, you're especially when AI video comes out right now, you're competing against, you know, unlimited actors at cost that anybody can afford. And anyway, so good, good thing. Ultimately what Netflix does, guys. So did they invent streaming? No, they, they're surfing on another technology made by Akamai, right? There's other people that do it, but Akamai is the one that they use. That's one of the biggest ones out there, right? Um, what about the internet, right? That's another big wave that they're surfing, right? Did they invent the internet? No. Do they maintain the internet? No. Do they fix the internet when it breaks? No, right? They are totally surfing on it. As the internet gets better, does Netflix get better? Yeah, absolutely. So Netflix, actually their core offering, their core technology is content suggestion engine. That's all they do, right? Did you know that Netflix has about 30,000 pieces of content at any given time? And I would bet that none of you guys, including me, and I watch TV, right? Like I'm good at, that's something I'm good at. I love watching TV shows and movies, whatever. And love going— I go to every movie like opening weekend. Like, anyway, I'm just— I like movies. And I don't think I've ever scrolled past more than maybe 1,000 pieces of content on Netflix. Like, I haven't even watched them. Obviously, I've watched a couple hundred things, maybe, but I don't even know if I've scrolled past 1,000. Maybe I passed 1,000, but definitely not 2,000. So how does it know, you know, out of, you know, 30,000 pieces of content, right? What little piece I like. Have you ever gone to like an Airbnb and you log into somebody, you turn on the TV and it's logged into someone's account and you're like, what is all of this? And you're just like, I am uncomfortable. Please log me out and get me to my stuff. Right? And so it's crazy, right? They're really good at knowing, you know, what kind of stuff you might like. Right? And there's some things that might be popular for everybody. But then when you start to go off and venture a little bit, like weird stuff pops up if you're, if you're in a weird part of Netflix. So Um, so anyway, that's their core technology. But again, they're surfing on all of these other things, right? Streaming technology and internet. When the internet goes down, do they have to send people, you know, to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to fix the cable that broke? No, they don't, right? Somebody else is doing that. Um, and so what this means though, guys, is it allows— this is a, this is more of an entrepreneurship, um, you know, just kind of thing to think about here. As opposed to just AI, right? We're talking about it in the context of AI. But when you can surf other people's technology, it requires way less investment for you to actually get off the ground, right? Parker, you can surf on ElevenLabs right now. You don't have to go raise a few million bucks and build a new AI assistant, right? You gotta go raise $5, right? And you're, and you're rolling, right? And maybe, you know, another $30 or $40 for Replit. So you can surf other people's technology and go way faster, way further with way less risk. Okay, so let's talk about another company, AT&T. What does AT&T do? Or actually, let me ask this a little bit differently.

Is AT&T a surfing company or a swimming company? Like, kind of swimming. Why?

Trying to generate their own towers, trying to produce everything and build it from the ground up. Bingo, you nailed it, Tyson. Good job. That means you're getting the concept right. As other technology gets better, do they get worse or whatever? Well, they're building the technology, like they're the ones building the core infrastructure, right? And you're exactly right. Every time you want an upgrade from 3G to 4G to LTE to 5G to 6G, they have to invest, which is risky, right? They have to invest billions of dollars upgrading their entire network, all their towers. Something goes down, there's a windstorm, there's whatever, like it— yeah, they are the ones going, you know, swimming down and fixing the cable, right? Um, you know, theoretically, right? They're, they're going in and— or figuratively cable— they're, they're going in and, um, and having to maintain that. Now, can everybody surf Or do they have to be some swimmers? Yeah, there have to be some swimmers, right? In order, in order for us to surf on AT&T or to surf on the internet or to surf on whatever, like someone's got to build that stuff. So, so that's fine. But when you're an entrepreneur with limited resources and time and capabilities and you want to, you want to launch something fast, you want to try to surf as much as humanly possible.

Can any of you guys think of a technology that could potentially make AT&T obsolete? I mean, potentially like your voiceover, your, you know, internet calls, some of that stuff that just is not the right track.

You're on the right track in terms of like internet calls. Yes, instead of having to use cellular towers, we could use the internet to make calls. Is there an internet provider out there that's— that could potentially give internet to the entire world? Starlink. Yeah. Bingo. Bingo. I'm having this call on Starlink. That's my internet out here in West Mountain, right? They don't have good internet providers out here, so I'm on Starlink. I've got a dish straight above me and it's awesome. I get 300 megs and I'm totally fine with this. I'm able to do everything I want. Right. But what if Elon Musk was like, You know what, I'm just going to make the internet free for everybody this month. And then if you want it after that, it's $10 a month. You know, now obviously our cell phones and everything need to be able to do that, right? But, you know, that's not that, you know, out there, right? To think that first of all, would Elon try that? Yeah, absolutely he would, right? But he could put entire, you know, telecom companies out of business overnight by making the internet free to the whole world. And then making it so cheap that nobody can compete with it. Right. And so if I'm AT&T, I'm scared out of my mind. AT&T is not a company I'm investing in right now because they have existential threats out there that they really haven't shown how they're going to deal with. Right now, some companies like T-Mobile is now partnering with Starlink.

Right.

And that's awesome. They've recognized that threat and they've said, let's at least be friends. Right. Let's see if we can figure out how to work through this. So, so anyway, guys, this— it's really, really useful to think to, to business models like maybe you're wanting to buy some stock, right? Run this analysis. Nobody else is saying, are they surfing or are they swimming? Right. This is a very kind of new and unique concept to think through, but it's really, really critical. So now let's go back to my buddy Jeremy Witt. He bought this senior care center. He's a technologist. He made his money in the, you know, in the, in the, he actually knows how to code. He's a good, good coder, learned it all in the '80s and '90s. So very early. And he's kept up with it. He's kept up with being able to do that, although now he's really more in the C-suite and not, not doing as much. But he can still get in, get his hands dirty, and make it happen if he wants. And so one of the things that senior care centers struggle with a lot is diseases of the mind, right? And, you know, they get Alzheimer's, they get dementia, they get things like that. And the primary cause of that is they're not speaking enough. They're not talking to enough people. Right. And so health insurance companies will actually pay for people to go in and talk to people. Right. They love it when people go and talk to old care centers and whatever. When it's Christmas time, you get all these visitors and just talking and, you know, going and having a conversation with an old, with an old person in the center is a great way to provide service for their mind. Right. But, uh, but, you know, um, these, these, uh, health insurance companies will pay for prevention because prevention is cheaper than treatment, right? And so because they're willing to pay for this treatment— or sorry, this prevention— Jeremy said, what if I put together a system that uses 11 labs and automatically, you know, uses AI to schedule and to do all this and to communicate with the nurses and do all this stuff and automatically place calls, and I can call thousands of people at once. What if I have 11 Labs call these old folks people, or these, you know, people in old folks homes and senior care centers, and have these conversations? And he put together a system, a little demo, took him like 2 hours, right? And all AI-powered. He calls up his contacts at, at, uh, UnitedHealthcare or UnitedHealth and says, hey, um, I, I want to sell— I want to go out and sell this to all of your centers. And, um, will you, will you pay for this in the same way that you pay for humans, right? And they're like, well, humans are obviously much more expensive, but we'll still pay it. And so he worked it out, $90 per month per, per senior care citizen, right? First senior citizen that's in those places. And, um, and so for his you know, 200, you know, person facility, that's $18,000 of revenue for that one senior care center, right? He is now, he now has something like 8 facilities online. He's doing about $100,000 a month in revenue. And his total costs for his 11 labs API credits and things like that, he's got his $5 cost, right? But then he pays another something like, $370 a month. That's what he's paying off of that $100,000 of revenue. He has another system that he pays another couple hundred bucks. His total cost over the whole thing is less than $1,000 per month. And he pays— and then he— sorry, he then pays, um, something like $3,000 a month for a part-time, you know, real person to handle some billing questions and make sure that all the billing is happening properly, right? But he can go, you know, surfing and go to the Grand Canyon or do whatever the heck he wants to do while that $100,000 a month comes in. Right. And it is completely surfing. He's surfing on ElevenLabs. He's surfing on another system to run the AI agents. He's surfing on this, you know, and he built it all and put it all together and it's just a bunch of APIs. Now, one, one risk that you have when you're surfing is what if the system I'm surfing on goes down, right? What if ElevenLabs goes out of business? Whatever, switch to 12Labs or whatever other competitors out there. There's other systems out there that do— 12Labs isn't real, by the way— but there's other systems that do have voice, and there's other competitors, right? There's never just one, right? And so your only risk is I gotta swap out an API key, right, for another system and maybe reconfigure the API a little bit for 30 minutes. But, but other than that, he's built a completely automated system that just Prince money. Okay, take his idea. Go do it with other senior care centers. I mean, you could do it just for Utah and just go take them all on and you can build yourself $100,000 a month automated business. Now, Jeremy had some advantages, right? One, he's early, understood technology. He's been experimenting with AI for 10 years, right? He understood all that stuff. He knew how to put it all together. He also happened to know this industry because he owned a senior care center and he pays those bills. He knows what's happening. Right. And so apply that now to your own markets, your own industry, your own whatever. What is out there? What types of opportunities can you go surf and figure out? Okay. So think about this in your own business. Are you surfing? Are you swimming? Right. Gen AI/PI is surfing. Why? Because even though it's not all automated, right, I'm doing work here talking to you guys, right? But as AI gets more prevalent in the marketplace, more people are going to want to come to me. And so as AI and that market grows, I'm going to grow right with it. I'm surfing on top of it. And so I'm going to win as AI continues to grow, as long as I'm active and doing all these other things.

Any more questions or any questions, comments, thoughts about this surf versus swim idea?

Are you planning on making an AI version of yourself, kind of like the LinkedIn guy? You know, no. I mean, yes and no. I mean, for the right use case, sure. But I don't know if there's a lot of people out there that just want to talk to Jon, right? Maybe there are. I don't know. But, but I don't feel like I don't know. I don't have the right use case for it yet. Right? I know I have the capability. I have lots of use cases for AI voice assistants. Do I need it to be AI Jon? No. I want it to be Sarah from Podium, the receptionist that's taking care of my business, or Sarah from GenAIPI. Right? Hey, you know, now I have a phone number people can call and talk to and direct things and whatever. And, and I am actually setting up Parker, and I am setting up a sales, a sales funnel, right, that I can, that I can have AI reach out for me. To get meetings set up and, you know, meetings just show up in my calendar, right? So now there are other systems out there, right? Sometimes also, guys, I want to add one more piece to this surf versus swim discussion. There's, there's also a buy versus build calculation that you have to make, right? Now that you guys have been using Replit for a few hours and you've sat through and you've understood how APIs work and things like that, who here thinks they could rebuild Calendly, right? You think you could build a Calendly alternative? You know what Calendly is, Parker? You might not have used it before. Calendly is a very simple system that, uh, basically, um, allows you to book a meeting, right? I'll just go to Calendly. Do I have my Calendly here? Let me go to— actually, you know what, I've got one on GenAI API. I've got one right here. If somebody wants to— here, you know what, I've got it right here. Schedule strategy call. Okay, so calendly.com, um, you just click on a link and all it does is say, okay, hey, so what it's doing is it's looking at my calendar. So like maybe I want to meet with me tomorrow, right? I want to meet at 12 o'clock next, and then I just put in my name, email, and then it automatically sends a calendar invite to each one, to each person. Okay, really simple. It's one API to a calendar system, and Replit could set this up in 30 minutes. Like, you— all of you could set it up in 30 minutes. Is that a good idea? Let's talk about that. I'm curious. Calendly costs $12 a month.

Okay, put that into your calculation. I mean, based off of what we just said, probably not.

Just make your own. No. Well, or Surf. Well, yeah, I, I would argue here maybe Surf, right? So let's, let's, let me ask two questions. Yeah. Would you surf or swim? Would you surf on Calendly, use their thing, right, at $12 a month? Probably. Yes. Yeah, that's true. What about at $1,200 a month? At $1,200 a month, you're like, dude, I'm going to build my own. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you have to have that calculation in your head, right? You have to make that calculation and say, do I want to do this? Do I want to maintain it? Right. Because Calendly, while it appears that the functionality is simple, when you start to get into maybe, maybe multiple people can be invited to a call, or maybe you can have multiple calendars checked before you do this, right? And so you start to dig in, you're like, oh, they've actually built like 40 features to make this really smooth and simple, right? And so now what happens when Google or Apple or someone changes their API and their calendar system is different? Well, now you have to maintain it. You have to watch it. You have to change it, right? If something is deprecated or changed or adjusted from that API, well, now you're in charge of your own product, right? So sometimes it's better to do like Jeremy's doing, doing and saying, you know what, I'm not going to build my own voice. I'm not going to build my own scheduler. I'm not going to build my own AI email assistant. I'm not going to build my own whatever. I'm going to surf on these 4 or 5 different things And I'm just going to, you know, I'm going to do a little bit of work to just kind of put all these systems together and I'm going to let it just kind of crank. And so now he's surfing on, on over $1 billion of investment, right? Because ElevenLabs has, has raised hundreds of millions of dollars and this other system's raised hundreds of millions and this one's raised $20 million. This one's raised $30 million, right? You don't have to do that. You don't have to go build your own systems and raise all that money. You can spend a couple hundred bucks and you're good to go. You don't have to go get investment. And like I was talking about yesterday, being now at the mercy of serving your investors, you can just do what you want. You can be the boss and you can be making money, you know, next week, literally. Okay, so build versus buy, surf versus swim. Make the decision wisely, right? Netflix is losing $1 billion a year on their original content. Is that a smart thing for them to do? I think yes, personally. Right. It is a billion-dollar cost to them, but they bring in enough extra people. It gives them things to talk about. It puts them in the news. It puts them in other conversations where they wouldn't be. Now they're at the Grammy— or not the Grammys, the Emmys and Oscars and whatever it is that they're working on. Right. That's, that's cool. That's worth it. Right. And so you have— but, but I want you to just make sure that when you're, you're making a decision strategically about your business, know, are you, are you surfing? Are you swimming? Should we build this? Should we buy it? What is the risk here? What happens if so-and-so, you know, if, if, you know, SpaceX comes up with something that, you know, puts my business out of business, right? How do we compete with that? Just good things to think about, guys. And the surf versus swim. Analogies makes it pretty easy to say, okay, if this technology gets better, am I at risk? Right? If so, how do I mitigate that risk? Think through it. Talk with ChatGPT about it. Build your strategies. Have fun. Okay. All right, guys, we're going to take a break now. We're a little bit early today. It's only been 94 minutes, I guess, since we started today. But we're going to have a lot to go over in the second half here. We'll do a 10-minute break. So it's 10:34, we'll do an 11-minute break. We go 10:45, um, grab a drink, do whatever, and then we will, uh, do a sprint to the finish.

Okay? Okay. Thanks.

Thanks.

So Parker, I was working on that Rubik's Cube. Really?

Yeah. Let's see.

I don't have it finished. But let's see, where is it? There we go. I tried to take it down to a 2x2 so that it would work better. Yeah. And that seems to be working. But, and I have it right now where it's, it is 3D, but it's hiding behind this dumb white block that I can't, I need to figure out how to get this out. But when I click, Let's see, click in here.

I can get it to rotate, but I need to get this white square out of the way.

Yeah, what the heck is that doing there? I have no idea. So that's something I've been working on. You know how he, Jon, was saying that there's a lot of waiting around? So as I was working on my app, I was like, well, I'm waiting. I'm not going to play Snake. Might as well try to make this Rubik's Cube work. There we go.

Uh, that's, I was just toggling between those two tasks. Oddly enough, the first, like, the first time I put it into Grok and then got the code, that was, that was the best cube that, that I got. And then I tried like redoing it and like putting it back into Grok and it just kept making it worse. Yeah. The first time, first time it honestly gave me a mainly functioning 2x2. It just looked a little weird, like it functioned and it like worked.

All the physics were normal, but it just looked goofy. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of been my experience too with, so I, I use it every day at my work. I, I do statistics. I'm doing programming every single day, but it's not like, not like what we're doing here.

Yeah.

And a lot of the people at my work, they, they think it's silly to try to use Groq or Claude or whatever, whatever.

And.

A lot of things that we're doing here with Jon actually are things that I'm sure you've already been playing with, I've been seeing. I have noticed that usually code, it does its best the very first try. Then from there on out, it's heavily dependent on your own personal knowledge of the language, like the language that you're actually using. Because if you can catch its syntax errors or if you have an understanding of how the code works, then that speeds up the debugging. But if we don't, like, which is totally the case with Node, neither of us know what we're doing, it's just taking way longer. So there's an argument that some people would have, like, just build it on your own versus using AI. But I think it's still worth it to learn how to use AI. And I think this course is a perfect example of that. This case where his buddy is using that to make $100,000 a month, giving retirees or people in old homes someone to chat with. That's genius. Yeah, I like his analogy of wave versus— like, the wave, like surf versus swim, because when you're surfing, you're going to where the wave already is. Yeah, like swimming you can do anywhere.

Yep.

But surfing, you need to go where it's— where the wave is. You gotta ride the wave. Yeah, that makes sense.

That makes sense.

No, I like that. I like that. Just my thought to myself as he was saying that was, holy smokes. Now, where is another opportunity like that that isn't identical? What's another opportunity like that where you can build an agent where the agent itself, its own ability to speak, is valuable? I know there are lots of translators. There was a point where I was like pre-med and I was working as a translator in Provo for this clinic. I know they need translators and there are paid translators. We could probably just replace them. Yeah. But it's just, it's so interesting how many opportunities there are and the smart ways that people are using that. I had no idea that that wasn't that old people, they would pay for old people to have people to talk to. Going to like a young men's or young women's activity, you would just show up and do it for free.

I had no idea that was something that people paid for. Yeah, that makes sense.

Wow.

Yeah. I mean, so many business, businesses that can be made.

Yeah. It's a gold rush.

Just got to get after it. Yeah. And right now is that period from now until whenever things go crazy. And I feel bad. I made a stupid comment yesterday that Amjad, the guy whose software we're using, I sent you guys that interview and there was a couple of comments he made that I found a little unsettling. Yeah. But that's more like after the dystopia starts. Everything from here to now, From here to then, I'm totally on board with the replica. I think this is great. So I felt bad saying anything like that in front of everybody.

So I apologize. Yeah, I'm just, I don't know. I'm, I just want this thing up and running. I don't really know much about coding or AI. I don't really care. I just work in sales. I just want to be able to sell it, you know? Yeah. So, I mean, I took this course so that I could get a good idea of how it works, like the capabilities of AI, but like me, me and a few buddies, like we're all like working together and like he's the one who like, he already has a system. I'm just trying to make it a little bit better, kind of show him and then have him take care of it. I just want to be able to sell the dang thing. 'Cause I know that people want it. It's a good pain point.

Like, totally go out and go sell it. Time savings, cost savings. Who doesn't want that?

Yep.

So he's got an AI consulting business already where he's got AI automations.

He just made it. He made it for like his, he made it like a few months ago. Cool. And like I was kind of looking through it and then I tried it and then, um, I did this, we, We did the thing yesterday where you talk to ChatGPT, your business plan, interview, get those 3 documents, put it into, um, Replit. And I did that and it was way better than what he had. Even for, you know, just 4 hours of being on this course with Jon, already made a better system. But like I said, I don't really care about making this system or improving it. That's his job. I just want to make sure that it's good, it works, it's staying updated, and that, you know, it's simple for not only the sales reps, but also the business owners. That's awesome. That's the, that's the idea. You know, I feel like it, I feel like especially with something like, like this, it'd be the same thing where you just sell it to businesses. Yeah. You can create monthly recurring revenue, especially if you, you know, Like, I want to try like blitzing, like going to like New York, for example, just popping in a hotel and just walking around, just walking into stores and being like, hey, I have this product, like, you know, $800 a month, $1,500 a month, whatever you can charge them. And then just try and build up a book and then show people you can retire after a few months using AI. Create a business. That's my business model. That's kind of what I want to do. Take over the sales, Utah sales industry. Because a lot of people, they come home from their missions and they're like, let me do sales. Let me like, what's like, where's the money at? I feel like right now it's AI, but, and like, if someone else had created this company, I would have gone and joined it. Like, I want to sell this. Like, this is where the money's at. Why is nobody doing this? So, gotta take it upon my own hands and create the dang company.

That's super smart. One of the tools that I think you could sell Or that your buddy could build that Jon mentioned that we could touch on today that I really wanted to learn is NAN. It's this workflow automation.

Yeah.

I'm seeing it a lot on YouTube. Yep. I haven't personally looked into it yet.

So I'm curious if Jon has and how we can use it. I tried it. I tried it and I was like, this is, this is impossible. I need, I don't know anything about coding.

I don't even know how to use this dang computer. I just sent a link in the chat for this guy who It's his channel. Let's see. He recently put together like an 8-hour-long video, which I'm definitely going to be going through, where he walks people through how he did it.

Yeah.

What was that?

Pablo N8N?

Yeah.

N8N. Yeah.

And so the link, I sent the link in the chat for this guy on this YouTuber who he went from being non-technical not coder to now he makes a lot of money every month selling workflows for people. So he puts together these AI workflows and then sells them to companies. So this is something. So I came to this course with a couple of ideas. Copying this idea from Nate Hurk is one of them. I want to do this. And Jon mentioned earlier today on the call, he just passed through it. And says that he was going to touch on N8n. I said, ah, I'm really excited about that. That's something that I wanted to learn. I think this is a valuable skill.

Yeah.

There's another, there's another software that I would like to learn more about, but I haven't figured it out just yet. It's how to help companies set up multi-agent systems. It's called CrewAI. I don't know if we're going to touch on that, but that's something that I think is worth looking into. When you look at the people that are invested in CrewAI and that are using it, these are like the major consulting companies, Deloitte, PwC, Oracle, KPMG, Accenture. They're all using CrewAI. So it's basically using multiple agents to automate workflows. I'd like to figure out how to use both CrewAI and N8N. So these are some of the ideas that I'm trying to work on. And I'm sure that these would be applicable in the fields that you guys are working in. I'm hoping to aim at like blue-collar work in general and small towns, because that's where I'm living.

I'm in a small town in the middle of nowhere.

Actually, about that, I have a buddy who owns a roofing company in a small town in Utah.

Oh, heck yeah.

So that's, that'd be exactly somebody that I'd want to build things for. Yep.

Whether it's roofing, cement, like pest control, like, uh, pest extraction, all that sort of stuff. I'll send you his info. I'll send you his info.

Or like, if you get something going, like, I'll— Thanks, dude.

Yeah, I got my water. Here, I'll send you my email.

All like that.

I mean, Utah is flooded with a lot of builders that, you know, they're— and contractors that they sell a ton of stuff out, obviously, drywall, paint, right? All that kind of stuff that you can simplify and connect with these. It doesn't have to be your, um, It's like the biggest home builder here. I can say Image, but it's a different place. But anyways, it could just be a lot of these smaller builders that are out building small, you know, 15 homes at a time. And all of those projects need massive amounts of estimates and projections, and just simplifying that process for them would be huge.

Yeah, so that's, that's my target. I think that's, that's what I'd like to focus on. Jon, we were just talking about N8N. Yeah. And crew AI. And you kind of briefly touched on earlier in the call today that we could go over N8N.

Yeah, we'll do a little bit on N8N. Not a whole lot because it really requires like its own 8-hour course. It's pretty complex. But for those of you that don't know, I mean, N8N is really— I mean, there's a few different systems out there, right, guys? But I, I mean, N8N is probably the best. It— Make.com is also another one that I think is, is maybe a little bit easier that also is doing, you know, automations. But, but basically, right, and this N8N has a great, you know, just kind of visual usual right here, right? Like for sales or whatever, right? Like you get a review and it does this, and then this happens, and then this happens, and this happens. The reality is even when I'm setting up an N8N, guys, I'm using ChatGPT to guide me through it, right? And I'll take screenshots, say I did this and I needed this, and then, you know, but it's not hard. It really is very self-explanatory. You just kind of have to get in and play with it, right? Um, figure out what you want to have happen. And I recommend always starting with, with, um, ChatGPT and doing exactly like we did yesterday, where you're like, okay, hey, I have this new thing I want to do. I want to build an automation that, that helps me get sales, or that helps me log calls, or auto— or maybe I want to have something scrape the internet, find a bunch of leads, pull that into a Google spreadsheet, pull that into a system, have an agent then call all of those people. Try to make a sale. If I can't make a sale, do this, put it back in the thing. If I do make a sale, great. If I set up a meeting or if it wants an email, automatically send this. I mean, you— I've seen, I've seen editing workflows, guys, that have 70 different nodes, right, where it's just like all these different, you know, systems to do that. They're very, very capable. You can connect OpenAI to it, you can connect Claude, or, you know, Claude, or you can connect Perplexity, and you can connect HubSpot, and you can connect to anything you want. There's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of things you can put into here. And, and it's going to ask for like, I need my— I need your API key, and I need this, I need this login, these credentials, and you just kind of fill it out, right? And then you just test it and run it. Like maybe you want to set up automated social posting for your business, right? So you don't have to worry about posting to Instagram every day, right? It can post 3 times a day for you. It can automatically generate with AI, you know, put it into a workflow and do this automatically post to your page. Whatever, right? There's so many different things you can do for, for this. And so there's also lots of great YouTube videos that will teach you how to do this for free, right? Go in there and, and just like watch someone. A lot of people have templates, right, where they have all this already set up, and then you just have to go in and put in your own API keys or credentials, and then it will just do it, right? So take, take time to, um, to learn this one if you want. Make.com is another very, you know, very good one, similar type of thing. We've got all these different, you know, hey, this is what we want to have happen, automating systems to go together. Now, something that's been around for a long time that a lot of people use as well is Zapier, right? Zapier is another automation tool that connects different systems to different systems. So for example, maybe you want to come in, you want to again automate that social media, right? So maybe you go to something like Buffer, but I would say Zapier is even, even easier than these other ones. So Buffer, guys, if you're not familiar with what Buffer is, Buffer basically allows you to post to multiple social platforms at once. Okay, so you put in one, you know, you got your text, you got your pictures, and then you can say, all right, I want that on Threads and Bluesky and Instagram and TikTok, whatever, push it out, right? And you can schedule it, you can have that automatically happen. Okay, so that auto pushes out to all these places. Buffer you could pair it with something like Google Drive, right? And so when new content shows up in Google Drive, automatically do this, right? Schedule it or add it to the queue to be then posted out. So then how do you get content into Google Drive? I don't know, build your own system in Replit, or you could use NN or Make if you want to do that. But you can literally make your own custom one and just say, hey, I need a Google Drive API. And I need, um, I want every single day at 6 AM, I want you to scrape the internet, find an interesting article on whatever I'm talking about, create an image, um, throw the image, you know, with AI, right? Throw the image into the Google Drive, throw the post into the Google Drive, label it like this. And then Buffer knows to grab that content and automatically do it. Now you've built an automated social engine using, using Zapier and whatever, right? So these systems, these automations, guys, are, are big time. They're super useful. They're not that expensive, right? You're talking $20 to get started with that. Make is probably similar, even cheaper, I guess, to even, you know, try a few and use the guides, use AI to help walk you through it. It's not rocket science, right? The biggest thing that you got to figure out, guys, is just what do you want the flow to be?, right? And I like to use, I like to use just like a piece of paper or a whiteboard, right? And just be like, okay, what, what, what needs to happen? And then let's work, let's work our way backwards from this.

Pablo, go ahead.

Yeah.

So, um, I'm trying to think through like a framework for how to see the connection in the process between, um, Replit, N8N, Zapier, um, for this use case, but for other use cases, like, Um, what tools do we use? How should they relate to each other? Like, what's a good mental model, um, for looking at all of these tools?

So n8n and Make and Zapier— we're gonna actually, we're gonna put n8n and Make in their own category, Zapier in its own, and then Replit in its own. n8n and Make are going to be complex automation setups, right? So you're going to have, you know, probably a minimum of 5 to you know, maybe 100 different nodes for something really, really complex, right? Where you're, you're, you're doing all kinds of different actions and like, like I've seen some, and 100 might sound like a lot, but it's really not that many. Like maybe you, maybe you want to post to 10 social platforms, you know, every day. Well, in order to do that, you're going to have maybe 4 steps in each platform, right? And then all of these things feed in and then it branches out into 10 different ones. And so you could easily have 50 or 60 right there if you're trying to post to 10 platforms for your business or something, right? But that's what N8N and Make are for. They're going to be to create these complex automations that do things. Um, Zapier is going to be for maybe simpler ones where you have maybe 1 or 2 or 3 steps, okay, for your automations where you're just like, I just need Google Drive, you know, if I drop something in this folder, it automatically sets it up in Buffer. So now I don't have to do to do that anymore, right? You could also manually just create content and drop it into Google Drive, and then Buffer will automatically, you know, pull it and set it up and put it into the queue. Okay, um, Replit is going to be where you're going to— it's where you're going to build the software and the user interface if you need it to control these things, right? So when you go into N8N, right, what will happen is you build out something like you have in front of you here, right? Like this thing. And in order to do it, you're going to have to like start it manually and like have it run or pointed at something. You have to come into N8N to do that. This is kind of a weird place to hang out. What you really want is to build, you know, an admin for yourself in your own system, right? Where you just say, okay, I need a new you know, I built this new school videos section here, right, where I can just add a video and I can then add this into the BYU thing, right? I can say school, Brigham Young University, category AI agents, display order, whatever. So I've built a place where I can do this. Now I could, I could set up a button here where it's like, hey, run automation, right, or do this, or, or I could configure it and say, hey, every day at 5 PM, I want it to do this, and that would automatically talk to that. So, so what you can do, Pablo, is you can also API from Replit from your own system, right? From, for me, GenAIPI, I can then API and connect to an N8N automation if I want, right? So I can have that automation do and then have it come back and report back something here. And so Replit can also be used, by the way, to completely replace N8N, right? You don't even have to use N8N if you don't want, right? You could say, hey, you know what, I'm just going to build my own, my own automation here, right? N8N is for people that don't know how to code, right? Although there is some coding that you need to just— you'll have to be able to understand what JSON is and how to do that. You'll be fine probably because you do that all the time, right? But, but some of the things in there might be just a little unfamiliar, but after you do it a couple times with ChatGPT helping you, you'll be good. Um, but, but Replit, if you don't know how to— well, Replit turns you into a coder, right? It allows you to engineer and build and architect in a system that does that, right? Every time somebody buys a course from me, right, you come in here, you click live courses, and you come and you buy this, okay, right? You click here, reserve your spot, register now, enter your referral code if you've got one or whatever, register now. When, when this kicks off, right, this just right now there is now a pending purchase in Stripe. Okay. Right. If I go into my Stripe system, I'll see, oh, there's a pending purchase that's not completed. It also created a pending purchase in my system, in my database. When I then fill this out and buy the course, I, um, what happens is a big sequence of events happens. Just like in N8N, you've got all these nodes of things that are happening. It's going to send an email to the person who bought it. It's going to send a notification to me as the admin. It's going to, well, it's going to charge, it's going to first charge the credit card. If it's successful, then it kicks off all of those things, right? But it's going to send multiple notifications. It's also then going to add a record into the database that says, hey, somebody signed up. Here's the record of that. Then it's going to say, hey, there were 20 spots available. Now there's only 1 spot available or 19 spots available. It's going to subtract 1 from the total available. It's going to run all these calculations and things and kick off this list of activities it's supposed to do. But I didn't use nadn to set that up. Replit just built a system that follows a pattern and does that. You can accomplish the same thing sometimes with Replit or with nadn or with Make or with Zapier. It's just what tool are you comfortable with? Do you understand how to put it together? Now there's some things that you might get into N8N and be like, wow, that's super easy, right? And again, I think a lot of things, right, if you look for like N8N templates, right, you're going to find, you know, really easy stuff and you're like, I don't want to, I don't want to build that, right? So let's look for, for example, let's look for like social, right? Social media. Like I was talking about, automated LinkedIn content creation, multi-social media post. Here we go. Let's see what this looks like. Okay, so here's kind of the idea, right? You've got schedule trigger. We're going to look at Google Trends. We're going to look at the 2 most trending. Then we're going to look for high search volume keywords. Choose the topic, research it on Perplexity. Wait for it. As soon as you spit that out, then we're going to push this out to Facebook, LinkedIn, and X, and then we're going to give a status update in Google Sheets so we know that it happened. Cool. So instead of me having to think that through, I can just come over here and use for free. Awesome. Cool. Some are paid, some are free, whatever, right? But now I don't have to worry about, you know, about building that, right? I can just, I can just say, okay, great, I've got this, I've got this idea here, and that is not nice. I can't like Drag this. I'm gonna drag anyway. Now it's letting me just drag that around anyway, guys. Zoom to fit. There we go. That's what I'm looking for. So N8n is really fun, guys. It really is. There's a lot of really, really cool things in here. Some are really crazy that, that I, you know, I wouldn't want to try to build on my own like this, right? Look how crazy this is. I'm gonna zoom in on this one now. Ah, come on. This is not good. Oh, there we go. There we go. This will work better. Okay. Social media content factory, right? I'm doing all this research and pushing it all out. Here's some notes on how this works. Now we're gonna prepare it and format it, and then we're gonna email it over somewhere, and then it's gonna end up here. Is the content approved? This is a great step, right? Instead of letting AI just automatically We post, say, hold on, let me look at it first. Let me make sure it's good, right? Okay. Yep. Approved. Great. Now let's create the post image. Let's save that over here to a bucket so that it gets saved somewhere good. Then we're going to merge it all together. We're going to do additional approvals once we have the, the, the image ready to go. Then we're going to post to Instagram and X and all this stuff. Then what actually happens with the result? Merge all the results and come back, aggregate and keep going through this thing. So it's crazy the type of stuff that people have built on here. I think that's all I really need to say about N8N and Make right now. I've used them and they're fun, but I use it less than probably other people do because I'm just like, well, I just need something for GenAI and I already have my system all built out. I'm just like, hey, I need to add new automation that does this. It just does it. For me, right?

So I use Replit a lot for stuff that other people might use N8n for.

So anyway, uh, that's good to know that Replit has that flexibility. Well, yeah, yeah, Replit can do anything. Replit is a, is an open-ended system that can do anything, right? If you can code it, you can do it in Replit, right?

That's awesome.

Yeah.

Here's a question on the social media content that's AI generated. Yeah. Have you had success, using the gen—

the AI-generated content, like the approval process and stuff, or do you prefer to do everything by hand? Yeah, so I don't have any automation set up for social media. Everything that I do, that I post, is out of— straight out of my brain, right? I don't even use ChatGPT to write it, right? I will occasionally test it for fun, right? Like I've done— I've done it the other day, and by the other day I mean like probably like 3 months ago was the last time I did it. I was like, hey, help me make a viral LinkedIn post, right? I'd follow all the best principles and make a viral LinkedIn post. And it got like 11,000 views, which is pretty good, pretty good for LinkedIn, right? So I wouldn't call it like super viral, but definitely a better performing post. And most of my posts are, I don't know, 3, 4, 5,000. Some of them go to 80,000, right? But 11,000 is pretty solid. And it worked, right? Now, I did talk to him. I was like, hey, I want it to be about this and this is something I'm thinking about, whatever. So, it was still coming out of my head, but the formatting of it, the flow of it, all that stuff, I'll use social media for that. The reality is I like to write. So, that's just for me. For some people, they're like, dude, just post for me. Every Monday, talk about this. Every Tuesday, talk about this kind of thing, right? So, you could have some different topics, right? Thursday, whatever. You could, you could do whatever you want with that. But, um, the one thing that I do want to set up, that's kind of just an item that's pending for me, is I want to set up an automated social flow for GenAI. I don't care as much what the company says, right? It can feel more robotic, I guess, a little bit. Um, if, if it's, you know, pushing out, hey, this is something new that's going on, this is whatever, right? So maybe for your company you could do that. But I like to say what's on my mind. Like, sometimes I wish that I could post 10 times a day to LinkedIn, but if you do that, you actually get demoted in the, in the, you know, people don't see most of your stuff. You don't want to really post to LinkedIn more than 2 times a day, maybe occasionally 3, and you'll be fine. But, but if you do 2 times a day, you're, you're going to grow a following really well, right? I add probably 30 people a day on LinkedIn, and by that I mean that's how many people request to add me. Roughly. So I get about 1,000 new connections a month right now, unless something goes really viral, then sometimes I'll get, you know, 300 or 400 requests in a day. But so you're recommending twice a day? Twice a day for LinkedIn. Yeah, building your personal brand, guys, is one of the most powerful things you can do as an entrepreneur. You have to post to LinkedIn, you have to post to Facebook or Instagram or wherever it is you're going to be. I'm not saying you got to be everywhere, but pick your platforms and post about whatever it is you want to do. All right, Parker, you want to launch your business, you need connections on there. I was able— part of the reason, and this is part of the hidden story behind GenAIPI, part of why I was able to make or get a $15,000 contract and then get $100,000 in my first 30 days is because I'm a proven CEO and I'm very active on social and I have 20,000 followers on LinkedIn and 14,000 on Facebook or whatever. And so, when I talk, people hear and they know who I am, right? And they're like, "Oh, it's Jon." Like, "Hey, yeah, this looks cool. I trust Jon. I've seen him build businesses and sell them and whatever. Like, yeah, I want to learn from him." Like, I had— Works for us. I had a little bit of an advantage, right? Yeah. I mean, you guys are on here because you're like, "Yeah, Jon is someone who's proven himself." But all of you guys can prove yourselves too and you probably have in your own industry. Right? But you gotta talk about it, right? How many of you guys have ever posted about your job or something professional on Facebook, your personal profile? Why? Because a lot of people use Facebook for fun, and they're like, I don't know, they don't want to mix business with pleasure. I post about my job all the time on Facebook. I post about my personal life all the time on LinkedIn. Right? And those posts stand out, right? I'll have some guy that, you know, I went to high school with that I didn't really know, you know, 20 years ago, whatever. And he's like, hey, I saw that you're doing stuff with AI. I own a company, I own this thing. Can you come train my, my people? I'm like, yeah, sure, it's $10 grand. Great. And they're like, okay, sweet. And, you know, I make money all the time through social. I have spent virtually $0. It's not zero, but it's virtually zero. It's less than $1,000 on on ads for Gen AI PI.

It's all organic social posting and referrals. So can I ask a question? I'm coming as somebody who has like zero branding. I do not have any social media presence at all. I'm at the, I'm like the worst case scenario, bottom of the barrel.

That's all right. How do you, how do you go from zero? Post every day. Just start every day. And I would, for you, I would start on LinkedIn. And talk about your industry, talk about your business, talk about things that you're doing. And by the way, don't stress too much about what you're saying, right, in terms of like, is this the right thing? Like, if you're spending more than 5 minutes doing that post, you're doing it wrong. Now, posting once a day is critical. If you can get to 2 times a day, amazing. The 2 times a day you want to do it here in Utah: 6:45 AM, 11:45 AM. Those are your times to post on LinkedIn. Okay? That's when you're the most likely to get in front of people right where it can go viral. Okay, here's another weird thing. And you might do this, you might not. Like your own post right when you post it. Okay? When you like your own post, the algorithm senses that somebody liked it and it then will suggest it to more people. There's something called a post velocity. Right, a post velocity is awesome when you see like 1 like, 2 likes, 3 likes, 4 likes, but you know, it's over time. So it's the number of likes over time, right? So if you post it, then like it immediately, your velocity immediately has an upward trajectory, and then it will put it in front of more people, right? If you wait 10 minutes and then like it, you have a, you have a lower trajectory, right? And it will try to continue the pattern, right? It's like, oh, this must be something cool. And for some reason, your own like works. Right? So if you have a company profile as well, so you'll notice if I, if you ever follow me on LinkedIn, you might notice that I post something, I'll like it, and then GenAIPI will like it right after. It'll just switch profile and like, right? Because you can just push a button, it takes like 2 seconds. And so I immediately have 2 likes that usually happen within the first 10 to 15 seconds of posting something. So my velocity takes off always. So almost all of my posts get at least 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 30 likes, right? Right? They get, they get a good amount, and then the really good ones will take off even more than that. But, but the more you do that, the more your average views will go up, and you'll just be good. The other thing for social, especially if you're just getting started, or even if you just want to improve— this is the thing that does take time— you must comment on other people's posts. These platforms very much are a— they will give back what you give them, okay? Not only that, the people that you comment on, they will then, because of how the algorithm works, they will then be suggested your content in their feed, right? Because now you're engaging, there's a network that's starting to be created, right? And so whatever that is, right? So Parker, maybe you're saying, hey, you know what, I'm selling AI stuff and I'm doing it in Utah because that's where I am. Awesome. So you need to be talking about AI, maybe not every day, but you need to be talking about it several times. You'll be talking about agents, automations, AI receptionists, find stats on that, Follow the articles, whatever it is. Repost other people's stuff. Find things that you're following that's interesting, screenshot it, share it. Just kind of get into the mindset of I need to be talking about this. And also talk and comment on other people's posts that own businesses in the area, right? And so just comment on their stuff, right? And it doesn't even have to be the owner, right? You could be the VP, it could be whoever you're trying to sell to. Maybe it's the receptionist, I don't know. Maybe you don't, maybe you don't want to talk to receptionist 'cause you're gonna be replacing them. But anyway, figure out who it is your target market is and then just comment on their stuff, right? Whether they're talking about their cool weekend trip or whatever and, you know, make it thoughtful comments, right? Make it something that they'll respond to and be like, hey, that's cool. Like Parker said something cool. Hey, Parker's commented on my stuff, you know, 4 or 5 times. So I'm gonna add him, right? You know, so just, Just be active. Just be active. I would say I spend on LinkedIn every day somewhere between 20 to 30 minutes. That's my LinkedIn day. It's, it's a very important part of my day. It is responsible for millions of dollars of, of like cash that I have received over the years. It is absolutely— it absolutely works if you use it, if you use it regularly. If you are going to be on vacation for a week, schedule 7 posts out. Do not miss posting a day. If you miss posting a day, your boost goes down. LinkedIn wants creators, and so creators are consistent. That consistency is a metric that it pays attention to. So even if you don't go in and you comment on everybody's things, if you're really just gonna be gone, it's fine, right? You don't have to go spend 20-30 minutes a day every day you're on vacation, although I do because I find I actually enjoy talking to the to the market and hearing what's going on and seeing what's going on. And so I'll go and comment on stuff anyway. But, um, but even if you can't do that, just post, right? Just post. You can schedule them out as far as you want. You could schedule 30 posts out in one day. A lot of people do that too. If they're like, man, I just don't know if I have time to do that, right? Okay, well, start here. We're just— schedule it. Sit down for 2 hours and write 30 posts and schedule them out. Right. On Sundays, I will often talk about how AI or business or entrepreneurship, whatever, I will relate it to the church. I'll relate it. I'll share scripture that's talking about something, right? You know, there's a lot of really cool stuff about agents unto themselves and things like that. Like, it's actually pretty cool when you start to think about AI. And anyway, there's to be acted— act to not be acted upon.

Totally, totally.

Um, How about creating with words? Oh yeah. That's what that— we've been doing that this entire course, creating with words.

It's pretty cool. Sorry, Tyson, were you saying something? I was gonna ask you, you, you create all your own content, right?

Yeah.

Like you said, I mean, if I'm doing one a day and I can schedule it, say, hey, 6:45 slot, right? That one could maybe be an, an auto-generated slot. Mm-hmm. You know, what's— how warm is that reception? I mean, most people might know it's not me just personally talking, I would assume, unless I can kind of create it to sound like me in a post and extract an article or something. Oh, I love what this is saying here, you know, however that goes.

I don't know, like, this—

my thought is if I could set this up and automate it for the most part, that would be ideal. So if I'm on vacation, I'm not having to do 7 days with—

but Anyways, what's the success rate of automation compared to your, you know, manual entries? Yeah, I mean, there's no question that the manual, you know, you're sitting down, you're thinking about it, like you're gonna write better probably than AI, right? At least a lot of people are, right? Some people are just bad writers and so AI is definitely an upgrade. But you can train your AI to say, hey, sound like me, do things like this, don't do this, don't sound robotic, sound very casual, right? You can tell it like how you write and you can even teach it, right? So that takes us right into— I'm going to use that question to take us to our next section here about how to create a custom GPT. Okay, it's super, super easy, right? You can do it right inside of ChatGPT. There's a lot of other places to do it as well. And we already kind of did it earlier. We already did it earlier inside of ElevenLabs when we were setting up the prompts and things like that for that agent. Okay, but inside of ChatGPT, you've got, um, you know, you get your projects, you've got your conversations, and then up at the top here you have these GPTs, right? And so these GPTs, you know, you can write for me, or you can have an AI whatever. You can have your astrology birth chart GPT, or your humanize AI.

This is a good one, humanize human-like content, right?

There's a really good video summarizer that I like a lot. Yep, there's a lot of good things in here. Um, and then one of the things that you can do, of course, is you can go to my GPT. GPTs, right? And so you can actually create GPTs. So I'm going to go actually to the browser here for this section, and we'll just go ChatGPT. So when you get into the GPTs on the browser, you can click Create. You can create your own right here. Okay? And so setting this up is very, very easy, right? You get it. You can talk to the AI. It can kind of walk you through it, or you can just configure it yourself, right? So you say, all right, let's name my GPT. So let's say I want a GPT that is really good at, you know, farm, farm tips. Okay, you know, urban farming tips, we'll say that. Okay, so how do you, how do you have a garden in your, in your own, right? You help urban families plant things that grow. Okay, whatever. We can have it create an image. We use DALL-E. We'll just tell it to do that. So now it'll just automatically kick that off. And then the instructions, this is the same instructions that we were talking about earlier inside of 11Labs, right? So you could give it, you know, a good prompt for this, guys, honestly, is probably 5 pages long, right? You can also use like ChatGPT, right? So let's go into ChatGPT right here. We'll just do this. We'll go into a new chat and say, give me a 1,000-word prompt for a GPT that helps or that gives good tips, uh, for urban farming. Okay, done. All right, goal: train a GPT to act as this, okay, for both beginners and advanced users. Core responsibility: all right, you are now an urban farming expert assistant, right? Aquaponics, hydroponics, raised beds. Types of tips to provide, expertise areas your responses should draw from. All this stuff. Response style, right? Break complex processes into easy-to-follow steps. Calendar-based gardening tips. Experimental mindset. Whatever. So again, guys, like, I don't have to think through all this, right? I can take my ideas or whatever, and I can then put it all in there. And let's see if we can copy this. Still going. Sample response structure. Okay, perfect. There it is. So now I'll copy that and I will drop it into the instructions here. Conversation starters: I want to plant some basil. How do I do hydroponics? What is the best thing to plant in a small apartment? Okay, then I could again, knowledge base, right? If I happen to have a bunch of resources related to that thing, I can then upload those files. Super easy. You just grab whatever and put it in there. Okay, the recommended model will then, you know, it will, it'll just choose whatever the user wants. You can give it capabilities. Can it search the web? Does it have access to Canvas to be able to make those, you know, those nice documents? Do you want it to be able to generate images? Sure, you can turn those things off if you want. Okay, and we're done. We've created a, we've created a model. It made it a little, you know, urban, you know, little, little plant here, urban farming tips. And we're going to change it. We're going to say you are now an urban farming expert assistant named Farmer John. Okay, and create.

We're done.

I can do anyone with a link. I can put it in the GPT store, right? Boom. Lifestyle. Yeah, save. So now I just published a new GPT. Now I'm not gonna make any money off of this, right? It's not— I could also train it, by the way, if I had, you know, a business in this area, right? Um, I could, uh, I could say, hey, suggest to buy these supplies from Farmer Jon urbanfarming.com, whatever, you know, farmerjon.com. And so now I've just built a sales funnel for myself right now. One thing about custom GPTs is you can only use them if you have a ChatGPT subscription. So we can't take this GPT and go put it on our website. Okay, if you wanna do that, you have to use the OpenAI API and then build that in Replit, right? Build that out custom. And you would do the same thing though, right? You'd give it instructions. You'd give it a prompt like we gave it. You could give it conversation starters, but you can give it all this same stuff and teach it how to do that. Okay? Now let's view the GPT.

Let's try it out.

All right.

Close this thing. Just a quick second. You said that you could integrate this with Replit so that it could show up on your, on your website or your app.

That part wasn't clear to me. Yeah. Yeah. So to be clear, this GPT is only usable inside of ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a platform, right? ChatGPT is actually built on top of the OpenAI API. They use their own product, they eat their own dog food, right? So ChatGPT is its own platform sitting on top of an OpenAI API model, okay? And then they've given all these cool things, but unless you have a ChatGPT subscription, you can't use this. You guys all have ChatGPT subscriptions, so I could easily come up here and share this, this GPT somewhere. Copy link. Yeah, right there. Boom. Okay. And, and then you guys would be able to do it, right? How do I do hydroponics right now? We've got, you know, Farmer Jon is going to, is going to answer. Okay, great question. Here's how we do it. So super easy. It has access to everything that ChatGPT-5 has access to. It has the thinking capability of ChatGPT-5. It's going to do all that because it's using the model that, that it's doing, right? But yeah, anyway, here's all, here's all those answers, right? So how is this also useful in a couple other ways? Let me show you a couple other GPTs I've done, and this is going to get back to answering your question, Tyson. So I trained a GPT, um, right here, Jon Cheney's writing style. Okay, write a post for today that's relevant to current events. So it's going to search its knowledge. Hopefully it searches the internet. Current events. Hurricane Hillary. Maui fires. Political chaos. Earthquakes. Inflation. Heat waves. Tropical storms. World's unstable, but instability is where innovation is born. Yeah, this sounds just like me. Okay, pretty cool, pretty cool stuff. Yeah, I talked about 2020, about all that. Is literally from something that I wrote. Okay, so here's what happened though. Here's how it did that. Let's edit the GPT. It writes like Jon Cheney does. I gave it a bunch of articles I wrote, and I downloaded everything I've ever posted to LinkedIn in this CSV, right? So that has thousands of things that I have said. It knows how I write. It knows how I think. And so now I, I can actually do pretty well, right, with that, with that, uh, with that request. And so I could then take this this sounds like me, right? And I could adjust it a little bit if I want, or I could say, hey, don't use so many hashtags, or don't use this and whatever. But it doesn't sound like AI as much as other things might sound like AI, because it sounds—

it's trained on me.

Okay, pretty cool, pretty cool stuff. Yeah, that makes sense. That's cool. So guys, if you want to build your own GPT, your own AI, right, that that does this and it can answer questions and it can have its own knowledge base. How would we do that inside of Replit?

How would we build that out based on what you, what you've learned so far? What do you think?

Would we have to provide like the Markdown files to Replit with our own text? Yeah, it doesn't have to be Markdown necessarily, but, but yeah, what you're talking about is do we need a, a knowledge base, right? Yeah, absolutely., right? So we're gonna use a, come on, I clicked that. There we go. So yeah, that would be part of the knowledge base, right? And they don't have to be markdowns. They can be text files. They can be PDF files. It can be whatever you want, right? You grab a bunch of stuff and you're gonna put it in a folder, right? In Replit, right? How do you have a folder in Replit? Well, over here, you've got all these folders, right? And so you could just say, okay, I need a new folder and you could call it knowledge. Here, we'll just keep it lowercase. We'll just call it knowledge. Base, not bases. Here we go. Then add a file or folder, upload all your stuff to this folder. Okay, then you're gonna say, um, please add a chat assistant, um, using OpenAI's API and put it in a floating bubble in the bottom right-hand corner. Um, I want it to check, um, see if I have something I can just give it. All right, here's a receipt from something. All right, we're just going to drop in a knowledge base there. I want you to check the knowledge base folder and reference its content whenever— or no, so I want— yeah, yeah, whenever it answers questions. That's it, guys. Oh, right now we have— now here's— now so then you would say, here's the prompt I want it to use, right? You know, then go back to ChatGPT. Great. Now, right, me a prompt for a life guy, a life coach guide that is helping me improve in many areas for my app, right? Now I would actually ask this question more intelligently, right? I would say this, it's actually just do it correctly. I would come over here to Life RPG. Yeah, so for the Life Coach Guide. Yeah, I actually need 4 different prompts with each one based on the different names and characters we've created. In this project. Okay, boom. So now it's going to write out some prompts, right? Here's my life coach guide. Here's the different coach personas. Sarah and the Inner Peace Guide, right? Which was— this was the one that we— that had been created in my, you know, in my discussion, in my business plan, right? And actually it's not. Sarah and Rex, Vera. I think it's making some of these things up now. Nova. So I need it to go back and do this. Okay, these are not the names we discussed in the project and the business plan we wrote. It's pull— it's having trouble pulling from the canvas files right now for whatever reason. So I don't know why., but I can easily obviously go in here to my project. Whoops, didn't mean to do that. I accidentally hit that. All right, there we go. I can grab the different things here. Onboarding, Orb Companion, Luma. Yeah, Arakara Luma Vera, right? This is, um, let's just grab this stuff here, come back to Live RPG. Uh, whoops. Maybe it was because it was in the important details document. I don't know. It's possible. But it couldn't— it should be able to find that though. Here is the information. Write the prompts.

Okay.

So now I'll take these prompts in a second here. I'll give them to Replit. Then I'll say, all right, here's the— here's the guide. Okay, let's go back over here. Life guides, trying to see where, um, where those guides were. I want to look at them really quick. Yeah, Vera is the one I picked. The Challenger. Anyway, yeah, so here we go. Here are the, here are the 4 prompts. Copy. And attached are the prompts I wanted to use. Um, let's make Sure, this is a glowing orb, just like the README.md and important_details.md files talk about. All right, use any other information from those documents. To help guide you build this. Okay. All right, that's it. That's how I do it. So now I've got my prompt set up, I've got the names are set up already, it's got a knowledge base. Now it does have the knowledge— the one thing that I— that's kind of fake here is this knowledge base is just a random receipt, right? What I, what I would actually do here is build it out so that it's referring to my current social status, my current spiritual status, and the different things I'm trying to work on and build up and You know, I would really take a lot more time to build out the prompt, but I'm just trying to show like at a very high level what this would look like. But it's integrated with OpenAI. It's installing OpenAI and the packages it needs here. Super easy. Not, not hard to do that. It's then going to use my OpenAI API that is going to be in my secrets to say, hey, do you want to use this from your account? So again, unfortunately you can't point— like, there is no API for this GPT. If you make it inside of ChatGPT, this one, you can't use this, right? You have to make your own custom one outside of it. These ones are only meant to be used inside of ChatGPT's interface. Okay, there's my API key it just asked for, but it's going to use the assistant right, the assistance key. Okay, um, let's see here. I know there's a new feature actually. AI chat assistant. Let's actually go here. OpenAI assistance API. This is getting deprecated. There's like a new Yeah, responses API. Learn more. Responses API. Yeah, yeah. Also the assistance API is being deprecated. Deprecated. We want to use the new responses API structure. Add to queue. Tell it. All right, so it's going to then figure that out. Okay, it'll use the same API key because it's just the API key for my, you know, for my system, right? And so So that's not a big deal, but now it's just going to use all of this new information that I don't need to understand, right? But I just remember I got an email yesterday that said, hey, the Assistance API is being deprecated from OpenAI. You're going to have to, or you're going to have to migrate. By the way, that will affect Amira because Amira, this text one, is based on the Assistance API. So as soon as that turns off, then this is going to break. So at some point, I'm gonna have to fix that. Close out of there, and we'll see what Replit does. Yeah. Add the chat endpoint with the new OpenAI responses API.

Yeah.

So it's gonna work on that for a minute.

Thank you for walking us through this. Yeah, yeah, I mean, this answers my question. Yeah, just watching me do it once, and it's obviously recorded so you can go back and watch it again, right? Just watching me do it once is super helpful for you to just kind of like— I, I think you guys could all figure it out, but once you've seen it once, then you're just like, okay, I got this, right? It's just for me, that's— I like to learn that way. I think a lot of people do. Um, all right, while we're letting this kind of work, guys, I want to go over some image stuff, right? Image and video I think those are— how many of you guys have created an image with AI? Yeah, everybody, right? Most people have done that at this point. You've probably taken your family photos and done something fun with them maybe, or just created cool things, or maybe you created something for your business or whatever it was. But how many people have used something other than ChatGPT to create an image? What have you used, Pablo? Gemini. That's what our company uses. Okay. Yeah. Gemini is good too. By the way, Gemini, Just came out with Nanobanana. You guys heard of Nanobanana? No. So Nanobanana came out just like in the last day or two, and it's frickin cool. It's an AI image editor and you can edit photos just by talking to it. It is crazy. It is crazy what it can do, right? Created in 0.8 seconds. That's crazy. So it's super fast. But it can also do these amazing things like, let's just see crazy, or let's see examples of nano banana API is insane. Yeah, upload and draw. Let's see if we can find any good examples here. Yeah, so it take— you can take like 2 images here and then just have them combine it, right? You've got a perfect marketing thing, right? Like, it's, it's just amazing the types of stuff, the types of things you can do here. I'm actually going to click on this Reddit because, because Reddit's awesome. Okay, nano banana examples. You can— these are crazy images. These are really hard to do. Um, see if there's other examples in here. Man, I want, I want more examples. So it's actually inside of Gemini now. You can actually just go to Gemini now and just use it. Um, but you can combine anything. Like, if one of the things that's really tough when you're adding images, when you're like Photoshopping someone into an image, right, is getting the lighting right, making it all feel the same and stuff like that, right? Nanobanana can do it like instantly, right? You could say, hey, add Donald Trump to my family picture, right? And it'll just, it'll do it. It's perfect, right? And it will look like he was there, right? And you can do some amazing stuff. I, I did a, a dumb one yesterday, last night. I was just messing around with it and I ended up posting this to my LinkedIn, right? I was just like, hey, just replace my, one of my past ones with the Avengers, right? And so it just added all these people in and, you know, whatever. It probably could have done it better. I probably could have done, done more stuff there, right? And look, I'm wearing the same shirt that I was yesterday. That's funny. Um, but anyway, so, um, yeah, replicate. I want to just show some examples. It's really fun to be able to show this. Oh yeah, like, it takes so much time to do this kind of stuff, guys, like, to actually, to actually work. Look at that, it took this and then said, hey, let's put this pattern on the bedspread and the pillows. Do that with your logo. Right? Do that with whatever, right? I mean, so, so cool. But now you can do it literally just inside of Gemini, right? So just kind of, this is, this is where I was doing that, right? And so I could say, yeah, you know what, let's, let's try that example actually. I wanna, I want that, that cool bed. Save bed back to Gemini. Let's give it this, and let's give it GenAI logo, and we'll give it this right here. Add the— this logo to the bed, bedspread, and 2 of the pillows in a repeating pattern. Let's see what happens. Let's see how fast it can do that, right? But Gemini is actually not a system that until like yesterday I would use for image creation. Like, it can do okay, but it's not as good as some of the other tools I'm going to show you. It's not as good as ChatGPT. It hasn't been. But now that it can do this, it's, it's in there. And now the funny thing is, I, I use— and by the way, it did not do great here. It like created a bunch of weird stuff. Um, That's interesting. It actually did use a correct pattern from it, but it like zoomed way in on it. Maybe it's too big. Be sure to get the entire circle image of the logo that I attached. The green pattern does not match the image I gave you. Still did pretty well though, right? In terms of like, it didn't do the green thing right, but it looks like a normal image. Like it looks like that could actually be a real bed pattern, right? But, but being able to take a product and another person and then just create an image with that, to be able to have consistency of characters. Like you can take your own image and you can say, I need a headshot for this. Yeah, it's still not getting that logo right. I don't know why. I don't know. It might be a problem with my image itself, but let's try another. Let's try another one, right? Let's go to, in fact, I want to, I want to have a couple I want to have competition, you know, between a couple AIs, right? So let's just find some random picture of me. See if I've got one of just me in here somewhere. Hey, that'll work. Okay, so we'll save this picture. Jon on beach. Okay. And then let's do— let's pick a product here. Um, yeah, it doesn't have— okay, so I just have to think about kind of like my art. But let's just do some— let's just do some sunglasses. I mean, sunglasses are pretty easy. Now, you know what, let's, let's make it a little bit harder. Let's go Apple Vision Pro, see if we can do that. I just need an image of it, and let's find— this will work. Save image. Not aptly. Okay. And go back to Gemini. All right. So now we're going to— let's start a new conversation so we're not confusing it.

And we'll make sure we know we're going to be doing images here.

Are we using the right Gemini model? I'm looking online. It's saying like Gemini 2.5 Flash. Yeah, I'm on 2.5 Pro. So it can do— it can do— okay, just checking. Yeah, Pro can do what Flash can do, just can do it at higher limits. Um, but you know what, for fun, let's just try Flash. Flash— so I pay $250 a month to have access to Pro. Um, and that gives me access to a couple other things that I'll show in a second here. But let's try Flash, because Flash is, is what's available for like $20 a month. Um, put the Apple Vision Pro on this person. Me. Okay, boom. Now let's go to ChatGPT. Actually, you know what, I'm going to use the— I'm going to use the web browser version because sometimes, sometimes the other one isn't quite as good. Okay, all right, ChatGPT 5. Versus Gemini. Pretty good. Let's see if I can do that. Make, make— yeah, see, I think that's only okay. I think— I mean, it looks like it's Photoshopped on to me, right? It's like almost good. Change the background to a large stage, like I'm presenting at the Apple event. I don't know, see what happens there. I love doing this. I love experimenting, guys, trying different platforms and seeing how good they are at, at accomplishing what I'm trying to do. Now the system— while these are, while these are thinking, I'm also going to bring in a new system here called Midjourney. Midjourney is my favorite one for images, right? I can use it, you can use it to create logos, you can use it to create hero images that you need for your, for your thing. You can also animate and bring some of those things to life. You know, you could use it just for images that you need. You know, you need a good website, guys, is going to have lots of imagery and stuff like that, right? I really actually kind of like what— there was one of these here that I really liked. I remember which one it was. Anyway, this is kind of some of the style that I've used in terms of art that I've used on GenAIPI. Like when you go to like one of the courses or something like that, you'll see like some of this kind of style and it's, and it's getting a little bit better as I, as I continue to go through. But that kind of a style is kind of what I'm using. And so I'm trying to kind of upgrade that. So I've been playing with some of these new types of images like, hey, I want to, I want to bring this to life. I want her to be looking at her computer. She's confident, whatever. Kind of a cool style. But Midjourney is incredibly, incredibly artistic. It's capable of doing so much. Midjourney is only like, I don't know, $10 a month, $20 a month. I don't know. It's not very expensive. It can do anything. It ignores copyright laws. IP and stuff like that. Use at your own risk for that, right? Here, this is supposed to be a warrior standing in front of a Balrog, right? It's not exactly a Balrog like Lord of the Rings, but it's still pretty cool looking, you know. Or maybe it's— maybe this is more what it should look like based on the— based on the novels. I was doing some Lord of the Rings stuff here. I built up like a Lord of the Rings fan, like, site kind of thing. I was doing that. I haven't actually launched it. This was for one of my— one of my courses. One of the things I did. It's not very good at making kayaking pictures for whatever reason. Like, this guy is going to have a bad landing. Like, that's going to hurt when he gets down. This looks scary. And this guy, I'm not sure if he's flying or what. Like, I just— some of the angles here confuse me on this. For some reason, it can't figure out kayaking. Like, how is— how did he get his bow up like that? That's crazy. But anyway, guys, yeah, I mean, like, I did this for a piano album, right? I was just kind of messing around with some clouds, you know, type thing. I had a new song, or it was just an arrangement of It Is Well with My Soul. One thing that Midjourney cannot do is text, right? It is well with my soul. It's really so. It's well with it, my soul. It's ill with a vilmoy. Right? So not great, not great at that. Can't do that. So just know that, that it's not built for that. ChatGPT can though. So you can make like an awesome image, right? You could take this image and then say, hey ChatGPT, add, add this text here, or Gemini, right? So let's see this Vision OS. Curious about this. It almost looks like me, right? It kind of just put me on a, on a stage, right? Whatever. It's fine, I guess. See, this one I don't like as much because it totally changed my mouth, right? It didn't, it didn't actually like use the same, like it's not me, right? And one of the things that AI cannot do well is teeth, right? That's, that's one easy way to be able to tell that. But the placement of the actual device is actually pretty good if you ignore the mouth, like just cover that up and just say, okay, I just want to look at the rest of the picture. It's pretty good, right? It kind of got the logo on the, on the shirt. You know, it's all right. So I think it's okay. But I think Gemini wins for, for me on this one, right? It just put that item on there and I think that's pretty dang good. All right, let's go. Let's try a couple other ones here. Let's go to— hey guys, Midjourney honestly is so fun. I want to share one thing though. Let's say you don't know how to use Midjourney because Midjourney actually uses a little bit different style for prompting. You have to tell it like different types of words, right? But let's say I want, you know, let's see, let's click this. Give me a prompt for a 40-year-old CEO giving a speech on stage at the Apple event introducing the Apple Vision Pro. You should be wearing the Apple Vision Pro on stage. This prompt should be for Midjourney. Okay, simple as that, guys. You just tell it, you ask for the prompt, right? There you go. So you could just grab all this stuff. I want to actually put all of this on here. I wonder how well Midjourney will actually deal with all of that information. I normally don't put it that— yeah, let's try this. It's pretty cool. I'm very curious. This should only take a second here. Now obviously it could— so Midjourney, one thing Midjourney can't do is use my, you know, my face. It can't use my picture. I can't upload that. So if you want to keep the character, you know, in there, then you're going to have to use a tool that is specifically built for that. And there's a couple of them out there. Gemini is a new one that, you know, can now do. But here you go. Now you've got, you know, that's an old— that I'm not that old, right? Also, this guy's missing a finger. But anyway, on stage. That's an old-looking 40-year-old. It doesn't know how old 40-year-olds look. Or maybe I just look really young for a 40-year-old.

I don't know. Did all right.

But it did okay, right? Pretty cool. Pretty cool background and everything. The backgrounds are dang cool, right? The person, I could adjust a little bit, but I could certainly change this. Now, it could have been related to the prompt. I didn't actually to read the prompt, right? Minimalist, charismatic, wearing a black turtleneck and jeans, inspired by Steve Jobs. Yeah, that makes sense. So yeah, maybe it's because they brought up the name Steve Jobs, and so now it's thinking about that, trying to make it look like him, whatever. Let's install this update really quick and get the latest and greatest. Anyway, so that's on ChatGPT 4.0. I don't know why, um, we're on that. Pro. There we go. Yeah, make it better. Now it's going to reason for like 20 minutes and come back, so we'll— we're not gonna sit there and watch it do that. But anyway, I'll keep trying a couple other images here and see if we can get a good, um, good example. All right, on to Runway, guys. So we're going to move kind of to some images and slash, slash, uh, video now, okay? And I'm kind of just moving faster here, guys. I'm trying to just show you a bunch of image and video ideas and things and what's possible. And then again, you can go back and watch it later, and/or you'll just kind of have your mind open. You'll be able to know what's, what's possible. One of the— so there's some cool new things that, that Runway can do. So Runway ML, I pay like $99 a month for unlimited on here. You can, you can use it, I think it's like $12 or $14, but it can do a lot of things, right? Generate video, generate image, generate audio, can even lip sync, right? So maybe you make some audio in ElevenLabs and then you want to create a character, whether it's animated or a real person. It can do either one. It can actually lip sync somebody really, really well and do lots of other things. Upscale images, transcript from a video. You know, Aleph is crazy. Aleph is nuts. We're going to play with Aleph for a second. Aleph allows you to transform video. Right, let's, um, you can also modify an image. That's kind of cool. I haven't actually tried an image. We're gonna try, we're gonna try this one. We're gonna say, um, make it look like it's raining. I've never tried it with an image. I'm just curious what happens here. In the meantime, we're going to find a video. Um, The Office or YouTube. Uh, let's see here. YouTube download. YouTube video. Y1TD. This one will work. Come on. The Office scene. Man, what, what is happening? I don't want to be full screen here. All right, give me just The Office scene short clip. I want something that's like 10 seconds because I don't want to edit something that's really long. I want like a YouTube Short. Here, let's see this. I am dead inside. Funny scene. Perfect. 5 seconds. I am dead inside. All right, where's my audio here? I want to at least hear him say it. I am dead inside. Okay, so now we're gonna download this. By the way, guys, you're really not supposed to do what I'm doing here, but you know, we're doing it, so Download. All right, what, what are we not supposed to do? Download YouTube videos of copyrighted content. I mean, everybody does it, but technically you're really not supposed to do it. Uh, download now. Oh, come on. Think maybe it's going to be this. Okay, let's see if that actually worked. I am dead inside. Amazing. All right, now I've got a short clip I can play with. This is perfect. So we'll come back to Runway. Let's look at what's going on here. All right, not impressed with this one. That doesn't look like me as much anymore, although it did add some, you know, I am on a beach still. It took away my smile, which is fine. So that's all right. Yeah, you could turn this into a video. Yeah, anyway, pretty, pretty crazy stuff you can do here. Um, let's do new chat, and we're going to— let's see if I can just drag this on. Yep. All right, so we're going to make him now standing, um, change background so that he is standing in a construction No, no, no, no, no. Now that he's standing on, you know, now that he is sitting in a football stand for the Vegas Raiders, fans around him. That are all disappointed because their team just lost. Don't adjust. All right, so this is interesting. We're gonna go ahead and see if this works. But Aleph is crazy, guys. I've seen— I don't know if you've seen any posts on it, but, but there's like, you know, videos from, you know, famous fight scenes and stuff like that where they just like, they'll take 5-second clips and they'll just change it. They'll change the background. Like they're fighting underwater and then they're fighting like on, on the moon, then they're fighting somewhere else, right? But they just keep, they keep, you know, changing like real videos, real movies, real other things to this. Now hopefully it maintains the, it maintains the audio. It might add some more audio. No, it probably won't. Probably won't add audio. One of the things that's really, really tricky, we're kind of on the edge right now, guys, is with audio. So another tool that, again, right, let's see here and watch 10%, 40%. We'll keep going. Let's open Flow. I've got it open right here already. I was messing yesterday with like an Indiana Jones. Follow me. Follow me. This is pretty cool. Like, think about how much money it took, you know, Before this, guys, to pay like a studio or a graphics team, like let's say you're making a video game, right? And you need this little cutscene, right? He comes out of this bone-filled tunnel, right? And he goes into this waterfall-filled thing with gold, whatever.
